Just picked-up and completed this quest chain post-cata. Quest giver is located in Brackenwall (inside the cave with the innkeeper). The egg "nests" look like hollow tree stumps on either side of Onyxia's lair in the Dragonmurk. The eggs glittered like loot but no cog appeared when I moused-over. Just click each egg (there's 3 or 4 per nest) and they will be destroyed one at a time.

What to do

StorylineDustwallow Marsh, step 77 of 83
RewardsEncarmine Spaulders, Wyrmbog Amulet, Encarmine Pauldrons, 5,150 XP

Description

Onyxia's brood has been scattered across the Dragonmurk. It is imperative that no more whelps be permitted to hatch. Make haste to Wyrmbog in the south of Dustwallow Marsh. Surely, she has made her lair there. Track down the evil dragon's eggs and destroy them. We will never reclaim Stonemaul Village if the surrounding area remains a breeding ground. As for Mok'Morokk... I have other plans for the sod.

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.

  • Justice DispensedDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    I doubt the Grimtotems will give up their campaign to drive humans from the marsh, though I get the impression you probably don't mind that. At least we have dealt with the perpetrators of the crimes at the Shady Rest Inn. Go tell your leader that his vengeance has been sated.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Challenge Overlord Mok'MorokkDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    You dare challenge Overlord Mok'Morokk? Haw! Me crush tiny <race>! You tell me when ready for good beating.
