Silithid Egg (12)
Digging Claw
Provided Item:
Digging Claw

Description

Hey, <name>. I been sent to the Crossroads to watch over the land and take note of its happenings for my masters in Orgrimmar.

One object of my studies are the insect-like creatures found to the south in the Field of Giants. We know little of the creatures, so I be makin' it a point to discover more. They seem to have intelligence to them, more so than any normal animal.

Take this digging claw and collect some of the creatures' eggs from their mounds, but be careful: if alerted, they will attack you.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Harlequin Robes
Violet Scale Armor

Progress

Be careful with the eggs you find, <name>. If they break, they be no good to me.

Completion

You please me, <name>. The eggs and the tool. Well done.

And for your reward...

Gains

First of all, the location of this quest, is around 45, 72. Wich lies to the west, south of Camp Taraujo, but not as far as the first road to the east.

This is a fairly easy quest to do, but be wary of the Silithid Swarmers with the little minions around them. They seem to be patrolling the area, and they can be a bit of a pain to kill. Their minions are multiplying rather fast, and sometimes the Silithid Swarmer releases an egg, which results in another level 20 Silithid Grub, which does a decent amount of damage.

Also, the eggs are not gathered by killing mobs, but rather by collecting them from the special mounds. The ones who are green on the top. ;)

Have a nice egg collecting!

You will need some AOE or at least damage shield against Silithid Swarmers. I met one today who released like 10 minions... preatty painfull i must say.

P.S.
Dont go AFK on the road between Silithid nests... Allliance NPCs patrols there... I learned that hard way...

First of all the location is 45,75 due SOUTH of Camp T not west...SOUTH... just off the road (LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD) after you get to the Field of Giants you will see several area's that look a termite or fire ant colony.. several in the area... you cllik on the ones with the green top GOOD LUCK to you. DO be careful as you fight the silithid creepers they will lay eggs that have grubs move away as they lay them best strat that I know if you trying this Q solo.

Best advice I can give you is to do as a group or be level 23 or higher ;0)

If there is a druid nearby, ask them for thorns. The thorns kill the mini-bugs after 1 hit.

If you're quick it's possible to loot the egg and run out before the bug-crab spawn aggros you.

Very easy for a Pally. Just turn on your Aura of Retribution and the Silithid Swarmers won't be a problem.

a suggestion:

get the buff from the quillboar in the cage in the camp taurajo (costs some blood shards) gives thorn effect. makes this alot easier. but it doesnt last forever, so hurry up ;)

If you're a mage, you can blink away from the eggs right after looting it, and completely avoid encountering the Silithid Protectors. Just be sure to blink back in the direction that you cleared mobs. Saves time and mana :)

When you arrive here be sure to check around for the Silithid Harvester (https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=3253 https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=3253) a lvl 24 mob easy kill and he drops Harvester's Head (https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=5138 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=5138) which starts The Harvester (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=897 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=897) a 2400 XP worn quest .

For you lore fans, this is the first time you encounter the Silithid, the infamous bugs that inhabit many regions in Kalimdor and who range in level from the level 20ish bugs seen here all the way up to the 60 elites in Ahn'Qiraj.

This quest was extremely annoying mostly because of the density of the mobs around the mounds however is quite doable as a priest, this is what I dwowhead:1,id:

1. Put your shield up
2. Go to a mound with the least amount of scorpions/grubs around it (or you will be interrupted)
3. Then run like hell, if you get swamped or your shield drops use psychic scream.
4. Find a safe location to heal up/drink then rinse and repeat.

Hope this helps :)
