Before you can pick up the quest from Tracker Yoro you have to complete a series of quests for Fraggar Thundermantle and Doran Steelwing, ending with "Hunt the Keeper". Fraggar Thundermantle and Doran Steelwing are also in Steelwing camp. (64, 60)

What to do

StorylineThe Hinterlands, step 26 of 61

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 to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

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.
