anyone notice this quest says that its to the southwest when actually its to the southeast ?

Kommentar von 26336

This quest has been nerfed, and thankfully so. It used to be that every single mob was guaranteed to spawn a bug, usually multiple bugs, and as many as three from what I can remember. I just did this with my most recent toon, and half of the mobs never even spawned a bug. I didn't complain!

Kommentar von 50808

those stupid bee's came out of every single one except like 3. Pain the butt to deal with.

Kommentar von 56004

Heheh what anyone failed to mention is that the both the druids and the sentinals have fast respawn rates. I died and everything was respawned by the time i ran back.

Kommentar von 4928

Carefull even though quest is level 55.

The bugs can be as high as level 58.

Kommentar von 60839

i think that the bugs spawn only from the sentinels not the druids very easy for rogues espacially the druids one

Kommentar von Dennace

One of my least favorite quests ever.
I kept on aggroing 2 at a time and, with my bad luck, both would spawn a bug. Being a lvl 55 dealing with 2 lvl 56's and then 2 lvl 58's was hard... I couldnt even run from the bugs due to respawns blocking my path :*(

/me reccomends doing this at a high level

Kommentar von adamb10

This quest sucks. Bugs do spawn about 80% and they can be as high as lvl 58 so make sure you have plenty of health for round 2.

Kommentar von 69480

Wasn't too hard. Enhancement Shaman. for druids save Earth shock till they start to heal, then use it to interrupt them, and they shouldn't have time to recast before they die.

Kommentar von 30936

They seem not to spawn a bug when they die while stunned. If anyone could confirm this (or not), it may help people :)

Kommentar von 94319

Both Tortured Druid's and Tortured Sentinels can spawn Hive'Ashi Drone's that are levels 56-58. My bug spawn was about 75%. I would recommend doing this quest at at least level 55 because of the bugs spawning after you killed the tortured guys, the bugs attacks will kill you off in about 10 seconds unless your class has some way of dealing with the threat (my rogue used "Sprint" and "Vanish" for it).

Hope this helps!

Kommentar von jbwest

just did this. easy as a 57 feral druid, but a royal PITA. of the 16 i killed, 12 spawned the bugs, so 75%.

Kommentar von pangeltveit

if u pull them away from the city a bug wont spawn after the death of it

I soloed this quest as a level 54 Hunter.
This is how i did it:

As mentioned above, the respawn rate is very fast. At both sides of the entrance, there are some Tortured Druids and some Tortured Senitinels. I started on the right side of the entrance, killing one of the spirits. When the Hive Drone spawned, I let my pet take the first hit. In that way, the wasp will aggro on my pet, not me. Then I looted the corpse and ran away until i lost sight of my pet. (No pet-picture on the upper left part on my monitor) After a little "healing-rest", I called my pet and went to the left side of the entrance. On the right side, I could still see the Wasp fly around, so I did not want to go over there incase I would aggro it again. Anyway; killing a druid on the right side, made another Hive Drone spawn. I let the pet take care of it while I ran down the road again. Then I rested and called my pet. Scince the respawn rate on these spirits are so fast, you can finish this quest without actually going into the center. Neat?! :)
The Hive Drones die out automatically after 5-8 min.

NB: Running back and forth like this, will ALWAYS spawn a wasp. I guess this is because you never kill any of them.

PS: Use Viper Sting on the druids twice while the pet is active. In this way, the druids are more likely not to heal themselvs. Remeber; The Viper Sting drains mana ;)

Kommentar von 139736

Soloed as a 54 DPS warrior and it was a pain in the ass. I died five times trying to finish this quest up. Wait until you're about 55 or 56 to take this one on.

I just kept running after the bugs spawned and waited for them to die then collected loot. Bugs spawned 9 out of 10 times for me.

Kommentar von 20955

If you are not up to at least 2 lvl's above your target then you should lvl up first as every target you hit can call out a secondary target.

Kommentar von ony091

I am a blood elf and after turning in this quest I couldn't take the next one .
It wrote " This quest is unavaible to your race " or something like that .

Is there anyone with the same problem ?

Kommentar von Thottbot

You don't have to free their spirits, just kill them and you get credit for them being "slain."

Kommentar von Thottbot

Watch out when you kill them though, one or two hive'ashi drones will spawn after you kill a tortured druid or sentinel. They're usually around lvl 56 or lvl 57.

Kommentar von Thottbot

55 Druid fighting Druids. Interesting. Didn't know about the bugs the first time. Almost got them anyway but heal drops to 50% speed during a dual attack (with 3 attacking, just kiss your druid ass goodbye) and I couldn't instant heal fast enough. OK, a surprise every now and then is interesting. I didn't need that armor potion anyway. What's 90S when you can kill a mob and get 5S? Uh wait, that doesn't work does it....

Went back from the Tombstone Tavern and whacked a scorpion just to get my fingers working. No loot and 1 rugged leather. If I wasn't a skinner, my reward for that would be....nothing. Hmmm. Lovely place, Silithus. This time I was ready for the bugs. All I had to do was kill the druid. Weird, but I know what he can do, right? Same thing I would do. Whack, heal, bam, heal, chop, heal, thunk, heal, swipe, heal, hit, heal. Interesting - he can heal himself too (duh, he's a druid). So he heals himself and I heal myself. Then he heals himself and I heal myself. How long can this go on? How about 20 minutes?

I ran from the bugs, not because I wasn't ready for them, but because I read the posts! Also because I was bored. Twenty minutes of fighting & healing cyles is like twenty minutes of watching paint dry after awhile. Like the pendulum in a grandfather clock. I think I will wait a few levels and then come back for this. I hope it has about 10,000XP because that's what I think it needs.

Nice scorpions, though.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It's nearly impossible to solo this as a lvl 54 warrior, and I doubt I'd have more luck at levels 55-57. Even if I can keep the druids from spamming heals/kill the sentinels fairly quickly, my HP is down to 40-50%. Then the drones spawn, usually of equal or one level higher than the mob that got killed.

If it's one drone, I can perhaps hamstring it and run away. If it's two, I die. If it's three, I die even faster.

I guess I could have brought some swiftness potions, but I hadn't prepared for a quest as dumb as this one. My nifty stopwatch saved my ass more than once, although the cooldown on it is so long that it's hardly economical for a killing like this. Plus I lost a ton of cash because of repairs...

Why don't they warn you about the drones in the quest text? Or at least tell you to bring friends? Stupid!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Location is: 62,53

This is actually easier for us priests than you would think. As they are immune to fear they are still undead and can be shackled.

Dot them, DD, get them to about 1-6% hps, then shackle. Back up and blast away, the spawned mobs wont come after you and just wait until they die so you can loot up. Cake.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Seriously ? How did you guys lvled upto the point where you could get this quest ? All these no good messages telling, no shouting, the readers that this quest sucks ?

This is thottbot, a place to get info on how to complete a quest, not to tell ppl WoW sucks. It doesnt OK ?

If you are unable to complete a quest within the timespan you like you got 4 options:
1. "Thott" it.
2. Come with a good tactic yourself.
3. Invite a mate to quest together ( guild, /who )
4. Level and come back later.

Now for this quest, there seem to be alot of ways to succesfully survive the adds. Either by outrunning or outsmarting them. earthshock, entangling roots, earthbind, hammer of justice, frost nova... All seem to work well to either kill the druid/sentinel on a distance or outrunning the adds.

Now to give some info my favo class, mages. We can solo this quest at lvl 54 for all I care. Get to max range (30/35/41 yards, depending on ur build) and start shooting. Remember to use scorch when the mob is to far away for instant cast and to close for a 2,5sec frostbolt/3sec fireball cast. Stay close range and hit him with arcane missles ( which should be the improved, uninterruptable ftw ones) untill the mob is down to 5%-10%. Frost Nova, move back and kill. Remember to counterspell the druid when he is healing himself. Easy to see the green leafies around his hands ( HS animation ). If you do not counterspell him, he will gain approx half his health. In the case frost nova fails, use Cone of Cold and blink.

Now as a frost mage this should really be a walk in the park. All of the mobs are melee attackers so kiting them with FN or CoC absolutly the best way. Added bonus, is that with a good frost-build, you should be able to kill them with 10-20% of their health when they're frozen.

P.S. I tried it when lvl 54, but I got summoned for an instance when I just killed one. Came back as lvl 59. A breeze. And fantastic good XP. ~250 for the NE, and ~300 for the adds @ 59 !
When only 1 or 2 spawned, it kill them anyway using my favo kite procedures ( FN, DPS, CoC > blink, DPS, FN, DPS ) No good drops, just really nice XP

Kommentar von Thottbot

Maybe I'm really lucky...but when I used Kidney shot stunning them just before I killed them...Zero bugs spawned. I did this for the last 5 druids and 5 Sentinels. You'll notice that the text says that the mob dies and its "yells" disturb the hive bugs...so maybe silence for a priest or anything else to put a cork in these dudes' blowholes prevents summoning. Gool Luck

Kommentar von Thottbot

is this the only quest ever made that mages have the easiest time soloing... did at 54 frost build. Coc, FN, and an ocasional un-interup blizzard rips these apart. was kiting two druids at a time, just watch the counterspell. hit em with arcane missles everytime you clear cast and you should be ok.

Kommentar von Thottbot

SW:P, mind flay, mind flay, mindblast depending on the HP either shackle and run back or mindblast again.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was 55 when I did this and its not too bad for a mage. Just take out the guy quick with fire or frost or whatever .. and make sure to couterspell druid heals! Frost nova and run away from spawn mobs. The buggies will die eventually.. my advice is that you alternate between sides east and west while waiting for the bugs to die. Once your done on one side go back, loot and kill on the other.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Apparently the hive drones don't follow you indefinitely anymore, now they chase you and give up after some time. They return to the place where the mob died, hover around him for about two minutes and die afterwards.

Corpse will still be lootable, and you can repeat the process as much as needed. It will take you more time, but this change is a godsend for melee classes and lower lvls.

Thank you for the person who put the loc as to where the quest is to be handed in.....sometimes it is nice to swallow your pride and just help others (hint to those who just put "i solo'd at such a level and was fine", just get to the point of how to help, then be done).

Thank you again

Kommentar von Thottbot

This method is similar to the one above, but less running around. Send in the pet and stay back as usual. Sometime after pet attacks, put him on "Stay" (as opposed to default "follow") After mob dies and Wasps spawn, he'll stay and fight while you're running the other way. Once you've gotten out of range of your pet, he'll disappear leaving the mob to fight nothing. (if you do this right, pet won't be in combat very long before he disappears and will retain his health) After that, feign. Aggro is COMPLETELY broken at this point and then you're safe to call your pet who will usually still be in pretty good shape. This works so well it's almost like cheating!

Kommentar von Thottbot

The druids were all 56 for me and not too hard if you plan your attack: lightning shield, rockbiter, lightning bolt from afar and frost shock as they come toward you. This slows them and gives time for cooldown so you can keep earthshock ready when you see them try to heal themselves. Threw searing totem as well. Interrupt/damage with earthshock.

Keep yourself healed and budget your mana cuz one or two lvl 58 bugs spawn as soon as the druid dies. First time two spawned I managed with stoneclaw and a mana potion but the next time I died. As I came back to reclaim my corpse I noticed the bugs hovering over my kill. I rezzed, healed and in a minute or so the bugs dropped dead of their own accord and I could move in and loot.

From that point on it was kill the druid and keep enough health/mana to throw earthbind and run from bugs. Make sure you plan an escape direction; out the road is good. Once out of range you can heal and either 1. move in and kill the bugs or 2. wait for them to drop and move in for loot.

Loot was just a few silver and insect parts tough a nice green cloth headpiece dropped once.

Same drill for the sentinels. They dont heal themselves but they are about a level higher.

Kommentar von Thottbot

For ppl who have trouble with this quest, its not that hard.

1. Go to coord (Southwind) 65.35
2. Kill the druids/sentinel.
3. Just before u are about to kill it, get some distance and finish them with range.
4. After he dies the fyling mobs will spawn, BUT becouse u killed the druid/sentinel from an distance, u are out of there agro range.

There easy as pie

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ok i get the part where you attack from ranged and you dont get the three lvl 57-58 drones on you... but what do i do since i am a warrior...shoot them? my bow sux:)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm level 54 mage, and this quest is yellow at this point. However, little did I know every time I killed something some level 58 spawn popped up and did 200 criticals. Don't beleive quest colors!

Kommentar von Thottbot

this is a chart of how many thigns spawned from each kill:

Kill #____| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
-----------------------------------------
Sentinels| 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
-----------------------------------------
Druids__| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |

i solo'd this as a lvl 54 enhancment shammy, only had to heal once of twice per fight, and never droped below 1/4th health

i did thsi after patch 2.0.1 " Before the Storm", so they probably have made it easier in the patch.

Liked this quest cuz it was fast and there were two spawns one after another after you kill a druid or sentinel another bug spawns and thats double exp right there

Usually the bugs drop nothing, but had one that dropped a thorium lockbox so cant complain

Kommentar von Thottbot

This will only work for people who can do DOT. DOT the tortured guy and run away right before they die. If you do this right the insect will spawn, but will not attack you.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i just realised that if i instantly kill a new tortured character (after you escape from a drone, instead of killing it) the spwan rate is decreased.
So kill druid or sentinel, run away/vanish/whatever and kill druid/sentinel again. yay.
at least it´s working tonight.

quest still sucks though.

Kommentar von Thottbot

56 Hunter, straight auto-shot . Used a lvl 54 Gorilla bc im trying to lvl him. Never had to even heal him once. Either one lvl 57-58 hive drone popped up, or nothing pooped up. Dont know why ppl said they had 3 at a time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Does anyone have the coords?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hunters look here!

I didn't see any good strategies here for hunters (i.e. ones that don't involve running like a coward) so here's how I did it as a level 55 BM hunter.

First, mark the target and send in your pet as usual, attacking from a distance. If you're a BM hunter like I am, you don't really have anything to root the ghost in place like many of the posts recommend, so put your pet on STAY while it's fighting the ghost. This way it won't bring the drone that spawns back to you. I never had more than one drone spawn after a kill, so there's no need for fleeing at this point. After the drone spawns, wait a few seconds! It won't attack your pet right away. Wait for it to attack and let your pet get in a few hits, then take it down. Some of the spawns are level 58, so just remember to keep an eye on your pet's health and mend it as needed. If your pet is dying faster than you can heal it, use Beastial Wrath and spam Mend Pet. If your pet dies, you should be able to handle it from there.

Extra tip for fighting the druids: If you didn't already figure it out on your own, viper sting them! It usually doesn't completely stop them healing, but it'll make sure they only have enough mana to do it once. If you're a blood elf, I recommend you melee the druids and use arcane torrent to silence them when you see them starting to cast their healing.

I hope this was more helpful than the "Kill the ghost and run like hell" posts. :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

As a 56 decently geared prot warrior, I didn't find this quest to terribly difficult. Remember to use Shield Bash while fighting the druids in order to cancel their healing spells. Don't use Execute on them, as you will need the rage to fight the next creature they spawn when they croak. I didn't die doing this quest, but I did have to run from a few accidental aggro's. The sentinal's are a tad bit easier, obviously, as they don't heal. But remember not to use Execute. Fairly decent XP from this quest, and I dinged after cashing it in so no complaints there. One more level till Outland baby!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm a level 57 warrior taking this quest. The kill and run technique works well. However its still pretty tough. The druids are killers. They regenerate health all the time so killing them is difficult cause sheild bash needs to cooldown during a fight. Soloing this would have been easy if i had lots of potions and money to pay for the huge repair bill following.

Kommentar von Thottbot

When you kill a sentinel or a druid, it only spawns 1 drone.
Although, not every time.
You can kill one and a drone spawn, and the next you kill it might not spawn.

i did it as a 55 balance druid pretty easy just takes a little more time than higher lvls

Kommentar von Allakhazam

They are not spirts you talk to, rather things you kill.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

We priests have an unfair advantage with this quest. :) Method A is preferable, but Method B works fine, too.

Method A: Get the druid or sentinel close to death and lock him up with Shackle Undead. Retreat to the limit of your Mind Blast spell and kill him with it. You should be far enough away that you won't even aggro the bugs. Note: I had all three talent points allocated to the Shadow Reach talent, but my guess is that this will work even without that additional distance.

Method B: If for some reason Shackle doesn't hold, kill the target, fear the bugs, and run.

I was 55 when I did this quest.

Never mind, server was crashing on me.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this quest rather easily as a 56 Ret/Holy specced pally. It took a little time but was not all that difficult.

First the druids and sentinals are undead so they are subject to our spells.

Before you pull one, make sure you are full HP/Mana. Tag one with exorcism. When fighting a druid I would have my biggest 2h bonker equipped, have divino aura up and use SoTC. I'd beat on them until they started to heal themselves then cast HoJ. If I were lucky SoTC would proc while they are stunned, if not I'd exor them again. Druids died quickly. When the wasp spawned, if just one spawned, I'd fight it toe to toe. if multiple spawned I'd switch to ret aura with 1h sword and shield. I'd consecrate as often as it was up and they would go down. Only when multiple wasps spawned is when I had to heal myslef during the fight. When fighting the sentinals I'd use the same tactic as fighting multiple wasps. The Sents hit fast so they would beat themselves to death on my ret aura.

I did not die at all doing this, I didn't even have a close call. I was not buffed with anything other than what I had (well fed). All in all a fun series of fights

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hunter tip: Feign death as soon as you make the druid/sentinel kill. Make sure you run back from the kill so you can get up w/o aggro from the hives. Make sure neither you or you pet have been tagged and this tactic should work well for the moments when 2+ wasps decide to snack on you.

Wasps despawn after 3 mins or so and you can raid the body after, though it's not necessary for this quest.

addendum for all classes: if you run back fast enough, you may get out of aggro range, though I didn't test this very well.

Edited, Tue Sep 6 00:24:28 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Something rogues can try, and I found that this works pretty well, is to make sure stealth is bound to an easy to press key, preferably one with easy access, and preferably one you already press by habit to enter stealth.

As the mob approaches low health, be poised to press your stealth key. As soon as you see any signs of silithid spawning (the message in combat text, the "poof" sound, etc) immediately enter stealth and back away.

Not 100%, but seemed to keep me from getting aggro most of the time.

Hey, it's better than nothing, which is what other classes have, haha.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As a Druid I killed the Night Elves in Cat form, backed out immediately when they were just about to die, cast Regrowth and switched to Bear form to handle the bugs. Used Frenzied Regeneration when needed, but oftentimes the Regrowth was enough. This is not an easy quest to do solo at 55+; it is comparable to handling three lvl 57-58 melee mobs at the same time since there is no break between the fights.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ok.. so I just solo'd this quest as a lvl 57 lone ranger warrior. The reason I put the class in caps is because this only applies to warriors. If you're intrepid and you're persistent you can win.

Of course you'll die some, because even the best plans can go wrong, but you can minimize your losses. Here was my set up : arms spec'd warrior with Mortal Strike Rank 3(this is kinda important). There are some considerations to take, I'm an avid stance-swapper, so I was prepared for the fights based on what I was fighting.

For Druids : I go in in Battle, swapping over to Berserker only to Pummel when they start casting their first heal. Then I ran into a problem.. they would start recasting the heal before pummel would rechanrge. So I figured, lesser of two evils.. I Mortal Striked (struck?) 'em and it did half my job for me. If they start casting a third heal you should be ready with a new pummel.

Sentinels, did most of the fight in Battle, swapping to Defensive only long enough to disarm, then went back to Battle (I choose Battle stance because I'm Arms spec and therefore my Overpower is the number one weapon in my arsenal)

Now.. for when the Hive'Ashis spawn.. well this took me a while to figure out. I read here all the strats saying to root the mobs, etc... but warriors have no such abilities. Sure you can net them but then what? You still can't hit the broad side of a barn with your ranged weapons most of the time, so that's out. I tried Hamstringing them but I could not get far enough away from them in the 15 seconds I have, then there's always the problem of HOW to kill them once you have have them at arms length.

So I came up with the following criteria, based on how many drones spawn. All three of these are provided you have over 30% health lefth (enough to stand and fight, or stand and run as the case may be) If you are at near death and don't have or don't want to use a potion or something, then just bend over and ask them to at least spit on it cuz guess what buddy? You're gonna die.

Now then, provided you have over 30% hp left.

If 1 bee : turn and fight. Bleed them to hell then swap into Defensive and Heroic Strike them to death.

If 2 bees : This is getting dicey but it's doable. I thought about swapping over to defensive but these guys HURT. They hit (sting?) pretty hard and do too much damage to sustain even in Defensive. The first time I did this, I used Intimidating Shout to scare one bee off but then I only had a few seconds to finish one off, and it still wouldn't have solved the problem of the bee that was now incoming.

Then I had to think and I re-read the description of each ability. I read Intimidating Shout : " The Warrior shouts, causing the targeted enemy to stay and fight. All other enemies will flee in fear". Hmm... the key word there is "targeted enemy will stay and fight". Normally the idea behind this ability is working on the assumption that YOU also will be staying and fighting.. I wondered if it would work as a root.

Sure enough it does. So this applies to both 2 bees and 3. Get in the middle. Target any bee you want, and use Intimidating Shout. The targeted bee will STAY and the rest will flee. You now have a free 8 seconds to get the hell out of dodge. Sure they'll come after you. They'll be mad as hell too.. but if you take off the second IS goes off, you will be far enough ahead they will make up the distance but they will break off their pursuit before long. They fly fast so you can't really stay to &*!@ around much. Run like hell. If you have a nifty stopwatch, Swift Boots or Swiftness Potions, you're luckiER but this can be done without it.

If you are at any point above 50% health and you get 2 or more bees, just hop into Defensive and start running.. you will make it. They do NOT, contrary to what was posted here, chase you all across the zone. They chase you the same amount of time other mobs chase you before giving up.

I died 3 times completing this quest. Once when an I.S. was resisted, and once when I was learning how to use it. Once I was just stupid and got close to the duo of bees I had just finished escaping from and they made short work of me.

-Nah-

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I am having a hard time with this quest when there is more than one bug because, as a Warlock, I don't have any easy escape techniques. THe only thing I have available might be Howl of Terror. Sometimes I get away, others not. I am not sure if it is worth the trouble, however.

Layo won't give it to my 56 Tauren. Rabine in Moonglade won't give Wasteland (the pre-req listed here). I've run all around Orgrimmar and no sign of any mob giving a quest to go talk to anyone like the series is apparently started for Alliance.

Somewhat annoyed about this since the quest is listed as "both". Not to mention I've just flown the from one end of Kalimdor to the other trying to find where to start the dang quest series. Thought the ring at the end of the series would be nice to get before hitting Outlands.

I soloed this as a lvl 55 rogue. Killing the mobs will spawn 0-3 wasps, so be ready to choose your next move. You can sprint and vanish, or evade and try to take on whatever appears after the kill. Have some health potions ready if you need them. I only died once because i wasn't watching spawns, and had 5 mobs attacking me before I realized my mistake. This is fairly easy.

Stupid, stupid quest.

If you're a squishy caster like a Mage - make sure you have enough Mana to take down TWO mobs. Someone at Blizzard thought it would be fun to make Hive'Ashi Drones spawn when you kill one of the ghosts. It's just plain annoying.

As of patch 2.0 he doesn't seem to be giving the quest out, at least at neutral with CC. On talking to him he simply says "The past lives in these wastes, <class>. We must be careful not to awaken it."

Anyone else able to confirm?

This quest appears as yellow inthe log at 54, but be warned, after killing any of the druids or sentinels, a wasp will spawn whose level appears as orange at 54, I suppose it's possible to just run away from them, but they will Daze you. Be warned the wasps are level 58 and there isn't always a place to run to. Addig the wasp thing I think was very stupid and makes the quest much harder. I don't think it should appear as yellow in the log at 54 if level 58 wasps spawn on you.

Southwind Village is basically due south of Valor's Rest along the eastern mountains.

You should see plenty of these druids and sentinels. You don't even have to enter the village to do this quest. They are all single pulls and they don't hit too hard. The sentinels are tougher than the druids, but not by much. Only risk to doing this solo is you may spawn 1-3 wasps. About half the time I got no wasps at all, but the other half I'd typically get 1, more rarely 2, and only once 3. If you can handle the adds, no problem.

As a mage, the way to do this is to hit the druid/sentinel with spells as usual but wait to use your Frost Nova till the mob is down to 20% health or less. Frost Nova the mob in place and run to distance. Hit them with your favorite long range spell and follow up with Fire Blast if needed. The wasps spawn (if at all) next to the dead druid/sentinel's body, but at this range you shouldn't aggro them. If you leave the wasp(s) alone for 2-3 minutes, they'll despawn and you can loot the druid/sentinel corpse in peace.

I'm 56. I wish I were 57. :(

-Nah-

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This is the most terrible quest i've ever done! When you kill a druid (they are nasty because they heal themselves) or a sentinel they will spawn 0-3 creatures.

The problem I had with this was that a couple of times 2 or 3 silithids spawned right on top of each other, so I didn't even realise it was more than one.

I'm a shaman and I used Stoneclaw Totem when I had more than one silithid. The only time I died was when I'd been killing a druid and didn't manage to interrupt one of its heals, so lost more HP in that fight than I should have done. Then 3 silithids spawned and killed me!

Blizz says it lies to SW .. but it is to SE ..

Just as Benjer said, you can kill them fairly easy, But an easier thing to do.
is to gouge them when they have little life, and then run away far enough while they still are stunned. And shot them with a ranged weapon. And hope that they die in that way.
Took me some practice to know when to gouge them. But it's easy after the first tries.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found out the easiest tactic is that you just nuke the mobs until they're somewhere around 20-10% then HoJ, run away and use Hammer of Wrath. If it misses or doesn't do enough damage, excorcise FTW. The mobs will spawn but won't aggro you. After they despawn u can loot the body if you want to :).

I did this as a lvl 57... the druids are kinda tough tho :(

Soloed as a lvl56 mage.

Just don't use nova freeze when attacking. Kill the druid or the sentinel. Then - after the bee(s) spawns - immediately cast it. Then turn around and run away. Use blink and mana shield as well.

Did it in 15 minutes.

Easy Quest...

Solo'd at 54 and dinged to 55 (Warlock). Used my VW to tank and hold aggro while I stacked my DoT's and drained life and life tap to keep mana going. For the druid's I send my VW, stacked DoT's and then used Drain Mana like crazy until it's mana was low so it couldn't Heal or anything and concentrated on taking it down. While keeping mana at good rate to kill the wasp spawns.

Good luck.

I'm neutral with Cenarion Circle and was able to get the quest today, 12/14. The quest may have just been bugged after the patch, but it seems to be functional now.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm running around the ruins and I can't find any Spirits to release.

Kommentar von oresteia

I'll wait next expansion to do this quest. You need to be either lvl 61 or a lvl30+ mage (yes, mages are broken as usual) You bring down a druid mob hp to 10%, it heals itself to 60%, you kill it then it turns to a level 58 insect. People can complain about it because a rational player brain can compare quest qualities. This is 1 far beyond bull^+%/.

Kommentar von Elitrio

If you're a warlock, then mana drain the druids. Makes the fight significantly easier.

Kommentar von echolalia

Just finished as a level 55 feral druid with awful gear; it's not the worst quest in the world, it's just obnoxious. It's easier if you seek out the lower level mobs, which is annoying (even with stealth); it's easier if you drink/eat/buff up and wait for low-key cooldowns between each mob, which is annoying; the mobs are a bit transparent so if you're not playing on high res, you might run into one accidentally, which is annoying.

Kommentar von cbad

32 mobs for this quest. Blizzard really knew how to design torturous quests back in the day. The only upside is more loot table chances, and fine XP, even if the quest is green. Have fun!

Die Geister vom Südwindposten

Befreit die Geister von 8 gequälten Druiden und 8 gequälten Schildwachen beim Südwindposten und kehrt dann zu Layo Sternenschlag auf den Friedhof Heldenwacht in Silithus zurück.

	Gequälter Druide getötet (8)
	Gequälte Schildwache getötet (8)

Beschreibung

Südwestlich von uns liegt ein tragischer Schauplatz - die Ruinen vom Südwindposten. Dort sollten wir mit unserer Arbeit beginnen, <Name>.

Nach allem, was wir wissen, war dieses Dorf einst ein Stützpunkt der Nachtelfen für Operationen in Silithus. In der Zwischenzeit wurde es längst von den Silithidschwärmen überrannt, die die Wüsten durchziehen. Ich vermag mir den Horror kaum vorzustellen, als die Zerstörung des Dorfs begann...

Die gequälten Geister gefallener Druiden und Schildwachen wandern ziellos durch die Ruinen. Erforscht diesen Ort und befreit die Seelen dieser unglücklichen Kreaturen, wo immer es erforderlich ist.
