Can't Make An Omelette Without... (Alliance)

Can't Make An Omelette Without... is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-30 in The Hinterlands. It is step 26 of 61 in The Hinterlands storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Hinterlands at 30.7, 47.1. It rewards 6 reward items, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

The Vilebranch broodguards to the northeast tend the eggs of Shadra's brood. Even if we kill the Vilebranch, those eggs will still sit there, waiting to hatch and release those horrible creatures further into the wilds.

We need to take care of this properly. Tear any eggs you see out of the egg sacks and bring them to me. Don't try to destroy them on your own; you might let the little ones out.

When you get them back here, I'll see that they're properly disposed of!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Eye of ShadraThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    Gryphon Master Talonaxe has sent me here to deal with Shadra, the Venom Queen. The conquest of Jintha'Alor isn't enough... the trolls could regroup and summon this creature later, when we're not expecting it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Fang of ShadraThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    We'll need the Fang of Shadra next. It's kept in the Creeping Ruins to the east, guarded by Shadra's own spawn. Hideous spiders the size of a dwarf, and twice as strong. Their venom is strong, <name>... don't get careless.
