Spider Scorching is Vol'dun world quests and you can start it at Arid Basin subzone at 45.47 80.35 when it is active.
You need to use [item=160870] on small [npc=139271] in the area.
Most of the eggs are near the mountains.

This was somehow screwed up in 8.2: It no longer appears on your map at the zone level, only the continent level, and the area markers for it are wildly off of the actual area you have to kill spider eggs in. Neither of these problems existed before 8.2.

Fixed on July 9th: Now appears on the world map.

That is every comment on this page.

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.
