The Great Netherwing Egg Hunt

The Great Netherwing Egg Hunt is a quest for level 25-30 in Shadowmoon Valley. It is step 145 of 147 in the Shadowmoon Valley storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Shadowmoon Valley at 66.0, 86.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 5,150 experience and money.

Description

Should you discover any Netherwing eggs while exploring, bring them to me.

Be warned, a Netherwing egg is a rare discovery. Do not become frustrated if you cannot locate one. These Dragonmaw have been very thorough in collecting most of them and shipping them off to parts unknown.

Eggs might be found on creatures of the island, near crystal formations, in the mines, or even inside a nethercite node or netherdust bush.

Keep a low profile. We don't need Mor'ghor catching wind of your actions.

These seem to spawn at certain locations, though I am not sure how long the respawn time is. I've seen one respawn behind the two elite drakes near the 'dock' where Netherwing Transporters land and fly off from, and it respawned in the same exact place. However, getting it required one person distracting the drakes because it was too close to them to open up without aggroing.

I've also seen them drop off the Nethermine Flayers more than once, though it's rather rare most of the time. I have also seen some spawn at different places in the cave, but finding them is tough since the mines are so camped most of the time.

Some other things to note:

1. Like Sasquatchiii said, if you're grouped you roll need/greed on the eggs if you come across one on a mob or 'open' a spawned egg up.

2. They DO stack, I think either to 10 or 20 per stack, but not sure because I only have 5 at the moment.

3. You only get the gold reward once on the FIRST turn in, and any eggs turned in after that just net you 250 rep.

4. You can turn in as many as you like in one day as the quest to turn them in IS NOT considered a daily quest.

5. A spawned egg is considered to be like a treasure chest in that you CANNOT open it up if you're in combat. You have to be OUT of combat to open it up and get the egg.
