The Swarm Grows

Kill 5 Silithid Searchers, 5 Silithid Hive Drones, and 5 Silithid Invaders and return to Moktar Krin in Thousand Needles.
  •  
Silithid Searcher slain (5)
  •  
Silithid Hive Drone slain (5)
  •  
Silithid Invader slain (5)

Description

Hmm. Seems Belgrom thinks those monsters are a threat. He wants them pushed back into whatever depths they crawled up out of.

I guess killing the dwarves sent by the Explorers' League wasn't enough--now I have to send a half-dead war party into another battle. We won't be able to do it ourselves; not while we're in this condition. The dig site's to the south of here. There shouldn't be anymore dwarves to deal with. Feel up to wielding a blade or staff and doing your part to aid us?

Reward

Also, you get: 35

Progress

With the amount of travelers heading out to the Flats for those races, I'm sure we can convince enough adventure seekers to help push back those insects. My party and I won't be able to leave until we do.

Completion

Ha! That ichor you're covered in actually makes you prettier, <name>! It certainly does make you reek at the same time though. Don't stand too close to the kodo; you'll either start a stampede or cause them to go into heat.

I think my companions would agree that your smell alone is proof you've done your part to help us against those insect creatures. Thank you, <name>.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 275 experience (16 50 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Orgrimmar

Very easy to get swarmed when doing this.

Try to pull drones away from any other drones so you don't get swarmed.

The invaders are down in the cave, you must kill the drones for invaders to spawn.

67,64 is where you pickup/turnin the quest, it's part of a chain.
69,85 is the general area you find the mobs.
A tip is to worry first about the Invaders- they are only inside of the little hive(Entrance: 66,86) and then if you get all 5 and don't have enough of the other two types, go specifically for them.
Searchers are level 32 and 33
Drones are level 33 and 34
Invaders are level 34 and 35

You can also pick up a Cracked Silithid Carapace(Seems to have a high droprate) which starts a quest to collect items off of the Silithid corpses. https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1148 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1148

If you're one of those classes that can't handle adds very well, consider skipping this part of the quest (Get your parts and move on out). These things assist from very far away and it's not uncommon for a fight with single Silithid in the middle of nowhere to end up with you swarmed by five.

Invaders and Drones share a spawn inside the cave. You should head here first and clear out everything.

Died twice as a 31 destro lock(no heirlooms), due to a 36 rare in the cave who constantly aggroed with 2 adds (watch out), so its not that bad a quest. Respawns are fast, 5 minutes tops.

Pick it up at Moktar Krin 68,64 NW in Shimmering Flats

Go to the cave 66, 86. I found lots of Invaders in there and didn't seem to get jumped by groups of 4 of 5 like I did outside.
