Destroying the Nest

Destroying the Nest is a quest for level 45. It is step 9 of 11 in The Fel Worm Menace storyline. It rewards 9,200 experience and money.

Description

We have to put an end to Tugar's plot. These abominations must be destroyed, as well as their source!

I think I know where. A group of neutral drogbar had a settlement nearby, but were pushed out by concerted demon and fel tauren attacks. That must be the place.

Go there and stop their fel monster production at its source!

In case you do not know where to turn in this quest (Quest mark not shown on the map), you just need to go back to Navarrogg (31.35 -25.14). He waits there but was not signalised on my map.

It wasn't showing me where to turn the quest in at - you have to go back to the guy who gave you the quest at:
/tway 31.36, 25.17
Once you exit the cave.
Also, the cave entrance is at: /tway 33.5, 28.0

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Feltotem MenaceLevel 45
If I had known Tugar was alive and behind this I would've alerted you sooner! He is a hateful creature, and an easy recruit to the Legion's cause. If he is truly successful with his fel experiments we need to stop him now. He is taunting us from up there. Let's go!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

A Triumphant ReportLevel 45
You should return to your Kirin Tor. I have no doubt they will want to hear the good news!
