RewardsRecipe: Gooey Spider Cake, Gooey Spider Cake, 10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

I'll let you in on a little secret - Dusky "Crab" Cakes are really made from spider meat! I know it's a bit disgusting, but the cakes have a nice, tangy flavor and make great snacks! If you want to try some still, I'm afraid I'm out of meat. I need some lump meat to whip up a few more cakes. Venom Web Spiders are a good source - they nest to the north, between the foothills and the river.

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.

  • Seasoned Wolf KabobsDuskwood · Level 10-30

    Seasoned wolf kabobs are a house favorite! Sure, I can make you some. But first I'll need the supplies. Bring me five wolf skirt steaks. The dire wolves near the river north of town are good to hunt; I wouldn't stray too far into the woods if I were you.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Supplies from DarkshireDuskwood · Level 10-30

    Oh, what is a poor old man to do? I need some supplies from Darkshire, but the village is so far away and I am so old and feeble...I would never make the trip. Can you go to Darkshire and bring me back some ghost hair thread? You can get it from Madame Eva at her home on the Darkshire square.
