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.TomTom: /way Vol'dun 45.47 80.35 Spider Scorching world quest

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.
My eyes have actually read this quest as "Sand piper eggs buried" vs "sand spider eggs burned"before. Which is not actually an unbelievable quest to get in this area.
That is every comment on this page.
