Eight-Legged Menaces

Kill 15 Pygmy Venom Web Spiders, and then report back to Watcher Dodds in Duskwood.
  •  
Pygmy Venom Web Spider slain (15)

Description

Hail, <class>. Perhaps you've seen those spiders that have taken over the western border? The eight-legged menaces are too much for us to handle, and the Commander hasn't enough manpower to spare so far from Darkshire.

I hate to ask this of you, but you seem like you might be able to handle them. I can't promise you anything of great value, but I can reward you if you can help root out the filthy bugs.

Oh, and a word of advice, you'll want to avoid their venom if you can.

Reward

You will receive:
Night Watch Gauntlets

Progress

You'd best be careful when dealing with the spiders, I've lost a few of my men to them, and trust me, it isn't a pleasant sight to see a man hanging upside down in their webs after the venom has started to soften them up.

I wouldn't want to see one of the bugs having you for lunch.

Completion

Ah! You're back. And not too much worse for wear, it'd seem. Of course, <name>, the Night Watch is grateful for your work, and I did promise you a reward, so here.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 125 experience (7 50 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Stormwind

This quest Is best done stacked with ""Dusky Crab Cakes"" (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=93 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=93) For greater efficiency.

This quest is found In central Duskwood, If you start in Darkshire and you havn't picked this quest up/compleated it yet, pick up ""Dusky Crab Cakes"" from Chef Grual In the Darkshire Inn. The mobs in this quest also play a part in ""The totem of Infliction(https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=101 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=101), which starts and ends at Madame Eva In Darkshire.

The spiders can be found around the very north of the very west of Duskwood.

The only difficulty in this quest is actually finding enough mobs, rather than killing them. There isn't a lot of them and they are also scattered along the entire north bay of Duskwood.

Once you find them, it's pretty easy.

I think all the spiders in the area share their spawn points. So keep killing every spider you encounter to make sure, when you return, a Pygmy spider could have been spawned.

I found it efficient to run down the river coast, and do this while doing the quests mentioned above in addition to Wolves at Our Heels ( https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=226 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=226 )

I would also recommend doing this quest in conjunction with the others mentioned above. I was able to pick up the 5 vials of spider venom in no time for the Totem of Infliction quest, most came from other spiders. Did part of this quest with the wolves one solo as lvl 18 warlock, a bit slow but very easy.

If you can't find Watcher Dodds, the one you turn in the quest to, it might be because https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=412 Stitches decided to stop by.
If so, he'll respawn in 5 minutes or so.

Note: Had trouble turning in the quest when Stitches was about to arrive, had to wait until he had been killed and respawned, might just be me though.

Actually, as long as noone is on Abercrombie's quest line, and that particular point where you reveal the identity of the old man, Stitches is not going to show up. Still, watchers seems to get bugged quite often and just hang around the road, not responding.
