Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

The Creeping Ruin to the east is crawling with fully-grown Shadraspawn spiders. They're large enough to drag off an entire dwarf in the night, and you'll see evidence enough of that when you get there... bodies are cocooned all through the ruins. They don't keep them alive for long, {name}, but they feed off the bodies for days. It's too late to save the victims, but we can't let those spiders grow fat and thrive. Make sure you get rid of those cocoons.

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 Fang of ShadraThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    We'll need the Fang of Shadra next. It's kept in the Creeping Ruins to the east, guarded by Shadra's own spawn. Hideous spiders the size of a dwarf, and twice as strong. Their venom is strong, <name>... don't get careless.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Shell of ShadraThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    The final piece is all we need to burn Shadra out for good. The Shell of Shadra is held by the spider god's last living high priestess, Qiaga the Keeper. She stands atop the Altar of Zul, guarded by other fanatical zealots. You've got to climb that altar to the top and take her out!
