What to do

StorylineDread Wastes, step 9 of 58
Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP

Description

Newly hatched mantid have only two instincts: kill and feed. They turn on one another, devouring the weak and leaving the strongest to mature. Those hatched during a swarm - the swarmborn - are turned loose on our enemies instead. The swarmborn in the Clutches of Shek'zeer have been tainted. They are born into shadows and nightmares. Driven by terror, not hunger. They are not fit to swarm. They must be purged.

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 Dread ClutchesDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    The imperial clutches have become an abomination! Clutch-Keepers rush the development of new swarmborn, saturating them in this vile "sha" energy before sending them away to the wall. The Klaxxi wish to stem the tide of swarmborn production in these dread clutches. Put the keepers to death!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dead ZoneDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    A Klaxxi'va whispers to the tower. It carries their whisper far; to other towers, to mantid, to paragons. The whisper bounces back, and the Klaxxi hear it. This way, they see all. A tower near the palace is quiet. This will not do. It must sing for the Klaxxi.
