This is part of a long chain quest designed to familiarize you with Zul'Gurub and the Zandalar Tribe. Much of the rewards are decent for their level. The Faded Hakkari Cloak is only slightly worse than everyone's favorite Hide of the Wild. Definitely a worthwhile chain for someone that doesn't want to shell out for the Hide.

Soloed with a 48 engineer rogue. (5/5 MoD, imp sap)

1. Stealthed up to the egg - No probs.
2. Distracted the group of three.
3. Sapped the named one.
** Be sure to be away from the single guard to the north **
4. (Still in stealth) Used Gnomish net-o-matic projector on a guard.
5. Now out of stealth, used blind on the other guard.
6. Loot the egg.
7. Vanish.
8. Get outta there.

Good luck and hope this helped.

Alchemy doesnt work. (Lesser) Invisibility or Invulnerability - tried both several times.

Invisibility - you come out as soon as you start opening the egg (regardless of time remaining on potion).
Invulnerability - told me I ""could not perform that task while immune.""

I wasted a lot of time and effort for nothing.

egg can be located @ 57,86

To get to the egg, you must go through the cave to the end, through a bunch of 50s elites. The egg itself, is guarded by 3 mobs. You either need a group, or a good strategy to solo to get it.

I was able to do it as a 50 Warrior. I had to die / spirit run the whole way through the cave, and then basically, pop Bloodrage while getting beat on enough to try an Intimidating Shout. The first time, two mobs resisted. The second, they all feared, giving me JUST enough time to loot the egg before dying..I spirit rezzed, and hearthed out to finish. Not an easy way, but possible.

The egg is that the back of a cave at the very top of Jintha'Alor, so if you're horde, be sure to pick up all these quests from Raventusk village:

https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7850 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7850 
(Tons of vessels to grab as you make your way up to the top)

https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7862 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7862 
(80 elites to kill, it sucks, but you can get half of them on the way up, and half on the way down)

https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7849 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7849 
(Might as well get these while you're going up, right? Good xp and gold)

https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7861 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7861 
(The princess is at the top, and you'll run into more than 20 guards as you go into the cave to get the egg)

https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7845 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7845 
(The egg is guarded by Hitah'ya the Keeper, who drops the key for the second part of this chain)

And if you haven't already done Zul'Farrak, be sure to pick up the sacred mallet too: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=9241 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=9241

Do all of these at the same time, trust me, you don't want to have to go back... Jintha'Alor is such a terrible place to be!

At least Hordes have all these quests for Jintha'Alor, I ALMOST feel bad that Alliance have to go through everything JUST for the egg.

Sorry guys, this may seem not obvious to some people, like me. But the egg, to be clearer, is located in a cave. (As stated ^^) Heres how to get there. (Bring a fiend, suggested)

1. Enter Jintha'Alor, you'll notice it's full of nasty troll elites.
2. Work your way to the top of the ""temple"" (i suppose you can call it.) This isn't hard, just follow the roads and go up every set of stairs you come across.
3. Keep gonig up until you see a the cave that is marked on your map. This is not the right cave, but it is close to it.
4. Facing the cave, turn left. It is the very left route. You will enter a very opened - spaced, what you might call, ritual area. It is guarded by elite dogs, elite guards, and a named NPC.
5. You will see also there is an altar in the middle of this place, with a horde troll on it, in a dead position. This marks the entry to the cave. The cave entrance is around where the troll is.
6. Work your way through the cave. This may require some naked suicidal runs to save repair bills, and lots of corpse runs, which thankfully, are around the horde base, so it isn't too far.
7. You'll come to the end of the cave, where there is another named NPC, and two guards patrolling in circles around the egg. It is very hard to kill these people to reach the egg, and can only be looted if they are not attacking you somehow. You cannot be bubbled, stealthed etc. I suggest bringing a friend with you so u can ninja loot it ^^
8. Get the hell outta there, and pray you will never have to return. : )

I hope this helps!!
Good luck!

YAY for 2.3!

The Avatar of Hakkar will spawn more often, as this has generally been the biggest bottleneck for the quest. This quest will be as easy as pie now that post-2.3, all outdoor mobs will become non-elite.

Before: 3 elites guarding the egg, including a healer.
Now: 3 non-elites, easy as pie. =D

This quest does NOT count towards Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement.
