Provided Item:
Cracked Silithid Carapace

Description

You inspect the carapace carefully. As you turn it over in your hands you realize that the chitinous plating is interlaced in such a way that makes it incredibly strong. It's unlike anything you've ever seen. You inspect the rest of the corpse further and realize that these creatures are very powerful and highly evolved.

Looking down at the carapace again, you think that Korran would enjoy studying more of these creatures. It could help him figure out what these creatures are, and where they come from.

Progress

Ah, it been a long time since you've come to see me, <name>. What can I do for you today? You be looking like you've seen the face of battle recently. Good... good for the Horde and good for you. The more battle you've seen, the more helpful you'll be; stronger, too.

Completion

Ahh, you've seen Moktar recently? He always be lookin' out for me. I'm sorry to hear he spends his time watching over his little war band instead of seeing battle, but I'm sure he be takin' great joy in killing members of the Explorers' League.

You be smart to bring me these specimens, <name>. Along with the eggs we be findin' in the Field of Giants, these should give me a good start in figuring out what these insects are, and what they be wantin'.

To get this quest, kill some of the insects near the excavation in the southwest part of Shimmering Flats. You should get the carapace quickly, if not on your first kill.

Any of the insects in this area can drop the parts for the quest. However, you have hopefully picked up the quest The Swarm Grows, as it stacks nicely with this quest.

You have to do ""The Swarm Grows"" chain up to the point where you are required to kill the Silithid - then you can find this.

Otherwise, you're just wasting time looking for it!

3300xp as of 2.3. Pretty good drop rate for all the parts, killed maybe 15 mobs to get them all, some had 2.

The drop rates on this quest seem to be really high. Every time I've done it I've had at least one of the quest items drop off every kill.

You can destroy the item when you finish the quest - It seems to stay in your inventory for no reason.

Upon completion of this quest, head to The Crossroads. The NPC Korran is located behind the flightpath at 51,29. After this, he'll have you head to Orgrimmar.

Happy Questing!

Got it on the first kill without doing the chain. The kill happened to be on the rare spawn, if that might have anything to do with it.
