StorylineA Lumbering Mess, step 6 of 8
Rewards25g 74s, 8,150 XP
Description
These woods have never been so densely littered with spider eggs. If these are recent... they must also be corrupted! We cannot allow them to hatch into more of these aggressive spiders. While you are in the woods, destroy those eggs. Any more spiders could lead to an uncontainable infestation!
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.
- Incident Reports
No wonder our workers are terrified to go into these woods. Generally the bears and spiders stay out of the way of humans... But these are no ordinary beasts! Father would be furious if productivity came to a halt. Please, cull these beasts so that the ridge can be safe once more!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Required Webinar
I'm not surprised some of the workers stayed in the woods, even amidst the beasts. While he won't admit it, some of father's workers are extremely dedicated. And now they're trapped by the spiders! Perhaps they have information about what is going on here.
