This is a really easy quest to solo. Done as a paladin at level 56.

Not hard for 57 Hunter - Used Scatter shot to back away from the parasites and immediately called pet back in to attack. When no more parasites are present you will need to be sure to get near a silo that is glowing in order for mare larva to spawn. Fun quest.

i just did this Q, it seems, that initialy you spawn 2-3 mobs, and then, there is chance to spawn another mob on death of those already spawned. i went 12/15 to last tower, then 3 mobs spawned initially, and another 5 spawned during time. i just run away leaving two alive because i was sick of this blizzard irony things:S

Uh, it wasn't that easy for me. 57 Rogue, Cold blood/Prep spec. Three spawned the first time, I was able to kill one and then had to vanish, but got attacked out of vanish, so I had to prep and vanish again. Another one had spawned after I killed the first one. Tried going back to them, but they see through stealth so I aggro'd. You can't pull them one at a time, as a Rogue anyway. I don't know what the above comments are about but when 3 mobs at continously beating on you, it doesn't feel like they hit weak and slow. I died after they detected me. Tried to go back to give it another shot, and killed 2 more but died again.

I did notice though that as I was fighting on the metal rail/track sort of thing, if I jumped off, the [slow moving] parasites has to go a long way around to get to me. This occasionally gave me time to bandage and get some energy back, but didn't do too much in the long run.

I went back yet again and there was only one left. This spec is fine for 1v1 PvE so I just stunlocked it to death. Tried summoning them again and another 3 spawned. I gave up at this point, didn't feel like dieing to mobs again.

If you're a Combat rogue using swords you could probably do this easier, but if you're a dagger rogue...don't bother. They all have around 3K hp and hit for ~80 normal and crit for ~180 on 1.5K armor. There were 3 of em for me so I got hit and crit a lot.

Soloed as lvl 54 mage, easy :p

Soloed this quest as a 57 priest, the disturbing thing is that these maggots slow u, reducing ur cast time, movement speed, each time you use the quest object by a silo u get (well i did anyway) up to three maggots showing up and sometimes when u kill one another one shows up... had to leave combat a few times to get mana but that wasnt a big deal. Easily done as a AoE class i guess...

If you use the area around 53,70 you can jump into the water and drop aggro. Very useful for questing at lower levels. Soloed as 53 rogue.

8 spawned for me they just kept spawning lvl 58 paladin

If you're a class that can heal, heal right after the slow disappears, because then you won't have the slowing on your heal, even if you get a new one on you.
It's very easy for a shaman, just put down a grounding totem, and you'll have like 50% of the time slow casted on your totem. If you're enhancement, use shamanistic rage and you are fine. Died once, but after that i was very lucky, one spawned and out of that one came another one and this 5 times, so i was just fighting 6 mobs after eachother instead all in one fight.

Can i ask? Could someone publish screenshots of these Andorhal Silos ? Please publish some

Found the buildings with the blue glow at the East or Northeast-ish outskirts of Andorhal. I did this quest with a 61 warrior, I myself, a 57 druid. Hehe, no problems at all. Really easy! I hope the locationsI gave really helps in finding the stuff, because we took 30min to find them.

just use the item near the glowing towers and the bugs come out

when you kill a monster there is a chance that there will come somemore......... the perfect place to make this quest is in the middle of 3 of the kind of towers cords (49,69)

Did this as a 54 hunter BM spec.

it was real easy, just have your pet tank everything.. feign death if you take aggro, freeze trap will sometimes get resisted so have your pet growl.

coords, on 49,69 were great thxs loads.

Neither Agree nor Disagree. I am doing this as a lvl 56 Nightelf Duel-Dagger Rogue, Shadowstep.

Yes: This is insane for any rogue of any spec - more or less in general theory - due to their ability to see through stealth and vanish. And energy consumption hits us hard doing this. Mainly because they cast a ""Slow"" effect that hits us for 60% speed. But...

No: Do not skip this just because you are rogue. Of any build.

Vanish does work, but in a very limited way. If you vanish, they have to cast some sort of spell effect that allows them to see you and you have to be within the radius of effect. - I did it. I used sprint, evade, then vanish and ran. They left me alone. I saw one of the things cast that little blue sphere on its head and bam... it charged at me since I was close.

If you have distract, use it as a tape measure for what I am saying. These things keep spawning like crazy near the silos. - As noted above / below. - I found that 30 yards is a good distance away from the silo to avoid another spawn. (Be sure to kill 2 of the ghouls / skeletons to avoid aggro.)

How did I measure the 30 yards?? My current Distract is a 30 yard radius. So, from one edge of the AoE circle, to the other edge is 30 yards.

Out of that sphere - 30 yards from the silo. If you have 2 of them, fight and kill one. Then blind the other and heal (you should have Heavy Runecloth Bandages at this point).

Doing the above, allows you to kill the last one being nicely healed and AWAY from their re-spawning area. Giving you time to wait out your Blind / Vanish CD's after they are dead.

Also, I used the same silo over and over again (at 47.3, 65.8). It doesn't take long for it to re-energize with its blue glow. That allowed me to maintain the 30 yard safety buffer I needed to complete the quest.

Posting picture for you to see what I mean.

*tip: make a macro for your bandages:

/target ""your name""
/use heavy runecloth bandage

And put it on a button, for instance: I have mine on the number 5 key.

The first silo I used spawned 10. 2 at first, then each time one died 1 would spawn, up to a total of 10 parasites. If I wasn't a warlock, I would have had to corpserun. Next one spawned no more than 2 parasites in one wave.
So be prepared to die if you pick an unlucky silo.

Possible to do as 53 hunter w. BM spec. Fun quest to do ^_^

well not easy as a 57 Holy Priest. Need to kill one and run and kill one and run

Soloed as 56 shadow priest, use the temporal displacer at the sylos (49, 69) if you fight them near the sylos they will spawn like crazy,(you kill one, another one spawns) so i suggest, when in trouble, run down to the river, they cant get into it.You will loose agro after few seconds and the parasites will just run back to the last spot you killed a parasite or to the sylo, giving you the chance to eat/drink and then kill them without them despawning.

Solo'd 58 enhance shaman. Most i ever got was 3 and i couldn't get them to spawn more when i killed them next to the silo's. Was actually quite a pain, waiting on the cooldown to summon more. Did at the silo's on the far eastern side that back up against The writhing Haunt

You can find the Silos at (49, 69).

While you might think this is an easy quest, it is not. The parasites have a nasty debuff they keep casting called ""Slow"", that effectively cuts your DPS in half.

The quest item is also rather random: it can summon anything from one parasite to three parasites a time. And even more, if you are not careful and accidentally spawn the parasites from two silos.

And this is not all. After killing the initial one-to-three parasites, additional ones can spawn. So if you happen to spawn three by using the item, you might get unlucky and all of them could spawn new parasites when you kill them. That is 6 parasites to be killed with no time to rest.

And a note for all the rogues: They see thru stealth. Can't get away with vanish.

All in all: easy if you get lucky, hard as hell if unlucky.

I soloed this as a 53 feral druid, just turned into a bear and at one point took out 3 which then spawned two more.

Also, watch out for the searing ghouls nearby, they have crazy DPS, so dont be fooled by the level 55...

Soloed as a 57 feral druid in bear form,
after killing a parasite there is a chance for another one to spawn,
I had to kill 6 in a row at one point =)

Note: They can be polymorphed but either way this quest is a huge pain for mages. I suggest bringing a friend.

FOR Rogues:

if you time it right you could restealth after you do the rift. and CS the critter. Do it quickly as they will see you shortly afterI did it.

A very useful tip: These guys cannot swim. Pick a silo near the moat or lake and jump in if you get in trouble. They will just hang out near the shore and you can do a full bandage and reengage them or just wait them out and they will go back and hang out by the silo where you can kill them later.

I had 9 come out of 1 silo.... Luckily I'm a feral druid (lvl 57) so it wasn't too difficult. If you can't heal yourself, I would not recommend this quest.

54 rogue here, 6 death and finally i did it.. so damn hard for us

8450 xp - 61 lvl Rogue

Easy mode on my 56 warrior ( fury specced )

Just stand near one of the flashy towers and use the displacer, some of those parasites will pop and slaughter time.. Could take 6 of em at a time but they spawned 1-3 / time

I can't speak for certain, but it seems Blizzard (rightfully) nerfed this quest. I did it today knowing how bad it used to be and I looked at the first mob's hp and he was half health after only a second or two. So it seems Blizzard lowered their health and possibly their damage down significantly as they also did pitiful damage (about 25 on leather). In this case, I say ignore previous advice and let them spawn as many as you can handle (which should be a lot). I was able to finish with two silos.

The parasites put a slow effect on me as soon as they spawned and hit my clothy self for 30-35. They had about 685hp and I used either arcane explosion spam or frost nova+blizzard. They spawned in groups of 2-3 immediately and 1-2 spawned once the first were dead.

All in all a very easy quest :)

Easy for me,a 57 feral druid.My crit mangle takes them out 1 shot regular takes 3.

really easy 4 spawn at once . Done this Q solo as lvl 54 hunter.
