Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

The silithid! They're bugs, {name}. Or something like bugs. They're not natural... and we built a fortress on the equivalent of an anthill. Take this burning pitch. It'll set the buggers on fire and plug up their burrows at the same time. Be careful when you pour this stuff on there - the silithid will come out in swarms! Look for silithid mounds around the exterior of Desolation Hold. They look like heaps of sand. Kill anything that crawls out.

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.

  • FlightmareSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    The Alliance has hired in Wildhammer mercenaries to control the skies over the Battlescar. I believe these same gryphon-riders were the ones to firebomb Taurajo during the attack. I want our skies scoured clean. The wildhammer dwarves fly low enough for a sharp-eyed <class> to hook them. Take this.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Claim the Battle ScarSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    We have fought the Alliance to a standstill here, even as the land beneath our feet falls apart. To the east you will find the Battlescar, a wide swath of decimated terrain. It is little more than a line in the sand, but it must be OUR line.
