Volatile Orb, 13g 74s, 4,800 XPDescription
I can't catch the little buggers for the life of me. Kill any you can get your hands on. And keep a close eye on your valuables, they like to steal anything that isn't tied down.
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.
- Improvised Ammunition
I've got another job for you. The dragon cannons we depend on to keep the thicker swathes of mantid back are running low on ammo. The camp's cannoneers developed an improvised explosive that's made from the globe seeds down the western ridge.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- In the Wrong Hands
Look... um... this is really embarrassing. I set down my sword for like ONE SECOND to gather some orbs, and a big sprite sprung out of nowhere, snatched it, and bounded off down the western gap. I can't go back to camp without it. Losing your weapon is a sure way to get kicked out of the Shado-Pan.
