What to do

StorylineSholazar Basin, step 30 of 65
RewardsChitin-Reinforced Hood, Stinger-Proof Chestguard, Insect-Filtering Faceguard, 10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

Bristlepine can be dangerous, but most stay far away from wolvar. Wasps on other hand not fear the Frenzyheart... they even kill some of our hunters. I know Rakjak want wasp queen dead, but no wolvar want to go into her hive. You go kill wasp queen in Sapphire Hive to southeast and get stinger for Rakjak. Me bet Rakjak like that.
