TheWoWDBThe [spell=128098] that [npc=62814] uses is miserable in this area because of the proximity of lots of other mobs. It can be interrupted or you can use stuns or silence to keep from pulling the whole area. They use it enough that using a [spell=42292] isn't going to cut it, although an Undead may have better luck because they have Will of the Forsaken.

First of all the drop rate is in no way fixed and that goes for several quests in this zone. And yes, the fear here is very miserable unless you're doing this as a group.
After over 1500 quests I just don't have the patience anymore.
There is a nice hiding spot @ 57, 11. I laid in wait there for the varmits to re-spawn and eventually got what I needed. Only one Dreadsworn patrolling that area. Hope this helps!

What to do
StorylineDread Wastes, step 15 of 72
Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP
Description
Amber is power. It brings life. This... dread amber you brought me has been twisted. It is concentrated fear. The Vor'thik know this well. Their kypari has been completely engulfed by sha, and they use the dread amber to quicken their own swarmborn. Bring me the crystals used by the Vor'thik fear-shapers in their rituals. The Klaxxi will study them and decide on a protocol for disposal.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Dreadsworn
The Klaxxi see far and hear much. They have shared their insight with me. The Vor'thik embrace the sha, using its power to fuel their march in this false swarm. Their warriors consume tainted amber and call themselves dreadsworn. There is no future for them. They are waste which needs disposing.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Citizens of a New Empire
At Shek'zeer's command, the great kypari tree of Kypari Vor was twisted into a totem of horror. Like those outside of the palace, the clutch nearby is now used to corrupt our swarmborn. Recover the eggs of the Vor'thik before they are tainted. We shall raise them here.
