Comentario de Dralmikins

to find these Bugs, you go south of the pond where you finished the first part of the quest to the Noxious Lair (36,40 to 32,51 ish)

any of these bugs drops the carapace but it is not 100% drop chance.
i don't exactly remember, but i think the bugs lvls are 45 to 50.

Comentario de 6543_

After finishing, you can talk to Fizzledowser on the hill again to start a new quest line, https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=10

Comentario de trinket

Incredibly low drop-rate..
Not worth the time/effort if you have other quests available.

Comentario de 44364

If you dont go to far in and only attack the bugs on the edges you should be able to keep from aggroing to much i finshed as a lv 45 Hunter

Comentario de 32503

Was yellow for me at 45, but lowest mob I could find was 48 (orange), most were 50 (red).

Comentario de 45595

This quest can be done at the Noxious Lair (37,36). The drop rate isn't that bad, about 1 in 2, I got all 5 Centipaar Insect Parts in 12 kills.

You definitely should watch out for those Silithid Swarms especially if you have no AOE capabilities. I tend to keep away from the Centipaars with a Swarm near them.

Comentario de Nycteris

I did this quest with my lvl 45 warrior last night - it is doable but you have to be careful. The bugs are lvl 47-50 and although the drop rate is high, it is not 100%. I was getting one drop out of three kills. I was killing lvl 47-48 bugs.

A word of caution:

The lvl 50 bug has a VERY small minion. You can mistake it for one of the critters Blizzard put in the game - it is not. Around the lvl 50 bug, look to the ground. It is very small. You might not even be able to click on it that easily, but it is a minion. Their walkpaths are not that similar either. Those two bugs might be far apart from each other. Do not aggro it since it will bring the big one running.

Comentario de 55447

yeah you guys are either really lucky or im really unlucky. im don it right now as a 44 mage and ive killed over 50 of these bugs and i have 3 of the insect parts. for those without coords the noxious lair is the very west part of tanaris in the middle.

Comentario de 61720

I suggest not doing AOE spells too much while you're in there, lest you like getting attacked by a ton of the little bug dudes' friends.

Comentario de mommyclz

Looking at the drop rate, it looks like the kinds of bugs that fly and look like wasps have 50%, the crawling bugs have much lower rates. So look for flying bugs.

Comentario de 40721

Slow Going.. But Soloe'ed as a LvL 44 Hunter (Beast Master spec, running with crusader blade and fiery for added DPS)

Took about 3/4 of an hour and 1/3 of the way to my next lvl :) drop rate pretty decent for the duration

Comentario de virtud

easy quest and the drop rate wasn't too low for me. althrough try to avoid the workers because they rune when they have like 25% health and they run really fast and ver far away.. i got killed by that 1time..
swarmers shouldn't be a problem for a hunter since pet can tank and if they have lots of those tiny bugs do volley and they are all gone ;)

Comentario de Aevitas

The Noxious Lair is located around 37,39. The quest items drop from all of the insects around the Noxious lair, and have a drop rate of around 20%. This quest is even doable around level 46-47, if you know what to do.

You'll find a variety of mobs around there, including:
- Centipaar Swarmer
- Centipaar Wasp
- Centipaar Sandreaver
- Centipaar Worker
- Centipaar Stinger

The Sandreaver and the Wasp are just easy fights, without any adds.
However, the Swarmer calls in ads, which also damage you, and if you're a caster will prevent you from casting. If you can, lay down an AOE every 5 or 10 seconds to wipe all these little mobs. They have around 5 HP, and should be oneshotted with one AOE hit. I'm a hunter myself, and I used Volley to get rid of all the insects in one shot. Also Multi Shot works. For Paladins, try to use Consecration, Mages use Arcane Explosion. Any class that can't do AOE shouldn't try to engage these mobs around level 45-47, but wait untill level 49-50 or so.

However, they can do the other mobs found around the area.
Done this quest with a warlock, hunter, paladin, mage and a rogue myself now, and I've only had trouble with the rogue around level 46, for the other classes it was easy.

Comentario de 54656

I got bored of this quest pretty quickly and found it had gone green at level 51 so went back to clean out my mission log... one thing I noticed wsa that some of the mobs were still yellow and in my log the mission was green... I ignored anything yellow and killed the green mobs (stingers, wasps, workers) and the drop rate was amazing less then 10 minutes later I was on my way.

So in short, kill the workers, wasps and Stingers they are an easy kill and the drop rate (for me anyway) was great.

Comentario de Meytiuy

I don't know what're going on with the drop rate for this quest. Some people are saying 10-30 minutes, I've been killing bugs for 2 hours and only gotten a single Part. Very curious...

Comentario de 44244

hmm i kill ONLY Stinger and i have 5 drops from 8 Stingers ;)

Comentario de 83105

IMPORTANT!! READ!! If you go to the center of the area, you can go underground, and the mobs there are 47, I think there might be lvl 45-46 there too, I'm standing at the top of the hole :D

Comentario de Silverado

55% for me on ANY of the insects there at 35,42

Comentario de 14130

Awards 4500 experience post 2.3. Completed on 12/02/07.

Comentario de Awlbiste

Confirmed 4500xp at level 45. I was killing yellow 47 and orange 48 stingers around the edges. Drop rate seemed around 30% for me. Also added stay away from the swarmers they come with about 10 adds.

Comentario de GrandDukeofGlory

Centipaar Wasp 47 - 48 49% Drop rate
Centipaar Stinger 48 - 49 49% Drop rate
Centipaar Swarmer 49 - 50 47% Drop rate
Centipaar Sandreaver 49 - 50 38% Drop rate
Centipaar Worker 48 - 49 37 % Drop rate
Centipaar Tunneler 47 - 48 26% Drop rate

Obviously you want to aim for the Wasps since their level is lower and they have the greatest drop rate. As stated before it is advisable to solo this to get the best drop rate
However a little XP never hurt anyone.

Comentario de 112843

As a rogue i can recommending doing Blade Flurry on the swarmers since it will just take off the small adds :) - if it's on CD try to avoid them.

Added: Killed bugs for around 10min max and got 5/5, drop rate seems pretty descent.

Comentario de 113508

for me 100% drop rate, and the wasps are way easier to kill.

Comentario de 113660

noxious lair - 35,38 (tanaris)

just kill stuff around the spikey things coming out of the ground
drop rate isn't that great but you should be done in about 10 mins

Comentario de 118425

Quest was easy enough, killed about 20 stingers and a few tunnlers and got what I needed. If you are a lower level and doing this quest (below 46) I would say stay away from the tunnelers there tougher.

Comentario de kuram

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I've killed about 10-15 mobs and haven't gotten a single quest item. :(

Comentario de Kaynos

It's not 50% drop rate, FAR FAR FROM IT. They must have nerf the drop rate, after killing 10 and getting none, i just delete that quest.

Comentario de redrover4423

Just a warning for caster's doing this quest watch out for the swarmers when they put the adds on you its hard to get a cast off unless its instant.

Comentario de Ximas

i completed it in 7 moobs, the best drooper is Centipaar Wasp i just have 100% on them

Comentario de 106847

Althoght this quest is soloable even at around lv47, the quest level is wrong. Doubtlessly it should be a level 50 quest. You have to kill many lv47-50 bugs, depends on your luck. And these bugs are tough, have many adds, wide-area patrols, long-term poison, and they chase you a very long way (guess becuase of their wide range patrol). You may want to skip this quest because it is not worth doing and you may have to spend a long time killing if you have bad luck. And the drops are poor. I have killed more than 100 of them with multiple alts but didn't get a single uncommon drop, nor any valuable item.

Comentario de 135041

did this as lvl 48 Spriest, gr8 drop rate.

Comentario de 131756

"This quest is really screwy. Some people are reporting amazing drop rates while others are giving up after 2 hours of solid grinding. Blizzard needs to get their crap together. This quest isn't worth it."

Well that was my first impression of this quest. After sticking with it for about 10 more minutes, I had all the insect parts I needed. I read one post that he had a better drop rate off of the wasps. I can confirm that. I killed about 10 of the other types of bugs in that area and got nothing useful. I killed about 10 of the wasps and had all 5 pieces for the quest. So my suggestion is hunt the wasps down and finish this quest in about 15 minutes.

Comentario de 64063

fine q for me 6 wasp and 5 q item droped

Comentario de Lunien

If you are a druid, for the swarmers, just keep thorns up and they'll one hit them.

Comentario de 103575

as a lock, get your imp out, cast fire shield and drain tank the swarmers, they die very quickly.

Comentario de beefbrunstan

I don't know what you guys are smoking but the drop rate was closer to 25% for me....

Comentario de Syrio

For this quest, kill anything but the swarmers, the swarmeers are a pain the ass for the casters... on my priest it took forever to kill one.. unless u can AOE.

Comentario de 138320

terrible droprate

Comentario de Thottbot

Location is accurate
Drop rate is around 40%
Lvl 48 hunter solod no problems - however be carefull when fighting the lvl 50 swarmers as hundreds of smaller ones come out to fight as well making it imposible for caster but they are one hit kills.

Comentario de Thottbot

Solo'd this as a 45 mage. Best chance is to run along the perimeter and pick out the single 47 and 48's.

Comentario de Thottbot

Found drop rate to be 33% with and without a group. As a paladin used consecration to ellimunate small bugs that pop. Dynamite works also for engineers

Comentario de Thottbot

Here are the corr. 35,46

Comentario de Thottbot

Went to round 36,48 with lvl 46 shaman did it fast.

Did the swarmers only and just threw a nova totem to kill the lil buggers.

Comentario de Thottbot

This quest is a bit of a PIA with the drop rate and pesky horde (I'm on Sargeras).

Killed flying mobs up to level 49 with my 45 war with % to crit gear (cragfist armor, rockpounder, some others). The 49s tested me but besides them I never went below 50% on HP, and thats only because my rockpounder is so slow. I worked on the outside of the crater.

Anyway, drop rate is pretty miserable overall, what I notice even more is that it is difficult to get ANYTHING to drop from these guys. Many times I came up empty on drops.

Not sure about the crawlers - I did kill one and got 1 part from it. The rest from flying insects. The only reason I would go for crawlers is because one of them (I forget which) runs back for help. The rest do not.

Go in with rest XP, though, and its excellent grinding material. Overall I got about 12k XP between the quest that starts this one, the mobs, and this ending quest (including rest XP).

Unless your level 50, going in the middle is, to me, a suicide mission. The are pretty tightly packed in there. I suggest starting at the ramp as a camp and pulling back there, then working out from that.

Comentario de Thottbot

There was an update today, and I just started this quest. Apparently the drop rate has changed. I'm only killing 47-48 Wasps, but I have 3/5 within 10 mobs. I hope it isn't just luck!

Comentario de Thottbot

I solo'd this as a 46 hunter, but it wasn't very much fun. The drop rate sucks.

Stay away from the non-flying insects, especially the Swarmers, which will summon about a million tiny guards that'll interrupt you like crazy. The drop rate also seems to be even worse for the crawling ones as opposed to the flying ones, so there's no reason to touch them.

But the worst part? Just *being* there. If hanging around a ton of gigantic, *twitching* disembodied insect legs doesn't sound like your idea of a good time, skip this quest. It made my skin crawl. :P

Comentario de Thottbot

Coords: 36,48 to the West
Drop rate is about 40% from any of the insects there although its better to kill the flying ones as the crawling ones spawn little critters to help them.

You dont need to go to the middle theres enough to kill around the edge.

Did it in 10 mins np.

Comentario de Thottbot

did as a 45 hunter and had no problems with the droprate. All the insects had about a 75% drop

Comentario de Thottbot

I've done this quest twice (with two different characters) and have concluded it's completely random. My first 45+ warrior was here for maybe an hour and had to go into the center in frustration to get the 5 parts. My 47 hunter stayed on the outside, killed mostly wasps and had five parts in 12 kills. BTW -- the first worker and swarmer did not drop a part, the wasps dropped all of mine. See ... no way of telling.

Comentario de Thottbot

ok well it's cordinates is 36,46 and it very easy. It took me not even 10 minutes to complete it. The longest part was actually getting to the site.

If you kill the bugs that crawl rather than fly you seem to get the parts faster.

Comentario de Thottbot

35.45

Comentario de Thottbot

There are 2 places with bugs it might seem obvious whitch one is the right one but be careful i killed like 20 at the wrong one and wa sgetting heaps angry untill a guildie told me lol dont mix up

Comentario de Thottbot

Coordinates are 35,46ish. You can't miss it.
For you who doesn't use coordinates - it's straight southwest of Gadgetzan, west of Abyssal Sands.
I had a 100% droprate from the Centipaar Stingers and the Centipaar Swarmers, 33% from the Centipaar Wasps. Definately not a tough quest for a level 47.

Comentario de Thottbot

you guys dont need to spam a million times the drop rate is low and ur aggravated, i read the first 2 posts and understood it, the next 10000 million is just a waste. even if the drop rate is low it forces u to grind, so low drop rate is a good thing. thanks for the coords guys, and happy hunting!

Comentario de Thottbot

This quest is not really obtainable at level 38, still a gray ! And have finished and turned in the first in series

Comentario de Thottbot

I think blizzard needs to review this quest. It's yellow to my level 45 rogue, which to me would indicate an easy enough quest. But the enemies are all red to me, so it takes a long time to kill one, and so far I haven't gotten a single insect part.
Seriously, it's not 'insect eye' or 'insect spleen' or whatnot, just "insect parts"
What the hell are the ones that DON'T drop parts made of then? Couldn't I just hack off a leg and have parts? Gut them and have parts? the drop rate realistically (yes, using realism in reference to an online game with magic and fantasy races) should be 100%.

Comentario de Thottbot

Was medium for me , Solo'd as lvl 45 hunter - Bountykilla

Comentario de Thottbot

This quest has a very low drop rate but is also easy....I'm a 44 druid and I did this in about an hour and a half... as for the little one hit kills...just use thorns...it kills thim without you every taking your focus off of the big guy...

Comentario de Thottbot

Iv killed over 20 guys, died twice and still only have 3. It's pissin me off.

Comentario de Thottbot

Very weak drop rate!

Comentario de Thottbot

Hrm, killed tons of fliers and only got 2 insect parts. Out of 4 swarmers I got 3 parts. Dunno if the loot table is better for the swarmers, or if I was just lucky.

Amusingly the swarmies aren't even an issue. I'd toss down consecrate to kill the first few that would spawn, and afterwards they rest would promptly impale themselves on my shield spike XD

Comentario de Thottbot

the insects are at the southwestern part of Tanaris, easy to find just takes a while to get there.

the droprate for me was 27,7% so it's not that hard and shouldn't be any problem.

Comentario de Thottbot

Did this as level 47 druid. Killed about 12 I think. Wasn't that tough.

Comentario de Thottbot

I did (45 feral druid infinitysnai runetotem) in about 10 mins in cat form, just prowled and dropped into cave, easy. Most of the stuff on this page is rubish, but it is definitly a much better drop rate off the flying ones. Also note that the worker insects are the ones that run for help, very annoying but easy to avoid as feral or rogue.

Comentario de Thottbot

I tryed this with a 46 warlock i couldn't even kill one, my voidwalker never kept aggro.

Comentario de Thottbot

some area's drop rate is super low, I killed like 20 of them and only dropped 1. After a long time killing, I move to another area, and the drop rate becomes like 80%. So, if the drop rate sucks, try to move to other area, may become better.

Comentario de Thottbot

wow everybody that comes to this complains. just cuz the drop rate is at 5% doesnt mean it sux... you can get lucky and get ehm in 5 straight kills or maybe 100, either way your getn xp, personaly id rather kill 50 to get it cuz you get a ton of xp and you have an excuse to grind

Comentario de Thottbot

you know, i really wish people would quit talking about their experiences with the quests and just give the damned coordinates!

Comentario de Thottbot

The Centipaar stingers have more of a drop rate then the others

Comentario de Thottbot

This is NOT a 46 quest. Blizzard must have been off their nut when they made it yellow for 46's.

The enemies range from 47-50, and they're packed together.

Comentario de Thottbot

lvl 52 priest, when entering, stay on the edge and follow it around, kill the flying ones, dont touch the ones that walk, they release little ones that suck! you might have to move in some what, just move in when you come to another entrance! just becareful from the bugs that walk! of course if your a priest! make sure you have your buffs on, power word fort, shadow form, inner fire, shadow guard... first hit with mind blast, then vampiric embrace, hex of weakness,, shadow word pain, vampiric touch, and then finished with mind flay.... went low on manor, never ran out, armour never went blow 90%, always used power word shield... took me 15 mins, killed 10 flying bugs. i had alot of moomberry juice which was helpful. fun quest and a bit creepy... plus i had just toked! haha have fun and don't die! lvl 51 troll priest!

Comentario de Thottbot

Solo'd as a 45 Troll Hunter. Pretty hard, but doable. Just be really careful.

Comentario de Thottbot

lvl 45 hunter, i found this hard and the droprate for me was bad, the lvl 50's killed me, but i could manage the 47-49

Comentario de Thottbot

Killed 7 Wasps, 5 Drops. All others 0 Drops

Comentario de Thottbot

Tried this as a lvl 45 Warlock. Got my butt handed to me. These things resist shadow damage and seem to resist some fire damage as well. Which doesn't leave much for a Warlock. I was able to kill one of the flying ones, which didn't seem resistant at all, but avoid the ones on the ground. I suggest a group to handle this one if you are Warlock or Mage.

Comentario de Thottbot

Done it in 10 mins.Best drop rate is in the middle of Noxious Lair.Soloed as lvl 44 Tauren druid.Hope this helps!Good luck!

Comentario de Thottbot

Got it done in about 15 minutes. The first 4 kills all dropped, then another 30 or so for the last one.

Done as a 48 hunter.

Comentario de Thottbot

killed about 7 before one dropped after they started to drop more

Comentario de Thottbot

if you think the ones that crawl are hard because of the tiny body guards, maybe you shouldn't do this quest... because there easy as hell... well for a hunter anyways just use explosive trap it kills all the hard body guards that do 1 damage.

Comentario de Thottbot

Was no problem, with my 46 pala, they are high level, but pretty easy to take out one by one, done in about 15 min ;) Got the first 4 drops on the first 4 I killed then 3 more kills to get the last. 4500XP + around 5000XP for the kills

Comentario de Thottbot

Mages, if you are fighting a swarmer, use a rank 1 AE to rid of the lvl 1 insects that they summon. This way, you aren't wasting alot of mana and they aren't as much of a nuisance.

The workers are good too, but they run and can easily pull others, so try and prevent that.

Comentario de Thottbot

Lvl 47 Druid... drop rate's about 40-50ish.
For druids, prowl your way around the perimeter and pick out some of the ones that are farther than the rest and that are lvl 47 or 48... the ones without minions. Missed those little buggers until they came to attack me too.
Careful when you're sneaking around the perimeter though, I slipped and fell into Un'Goro by mistake...

36,46. Got my 5 centipaars in 5 min

Comentario de Allakhazam

I've tried this quest twice (once today and once within the past week) and ground on the flyers and still have no drops. I think it may be bugged since the last patch. Silithid bug quests are annoying anyway so I'm dropping this one.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Got all parts in about 11 kills

swarms dropped 3
stinger dropped 1
and the worker dropped 1

Comentario de Allakhazam

8 kills, 5 Insect Parts

Comentario de Allakhazam

Ok, so the drop rate seems to be adequate. As a 46 Mage, however, I'm having to tuck tail, run, and go get my armor repaired after getting killed twice now. I've NEVER had to pay a gold to get repairs, either. One more trip oughtta complete this.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Dont do this quest i killed 20 of those beast but none drop

Comentario de Allakhazam

12 kills 5 insect parts all dropped from wasps but I tried to avoid swarmers.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Easily solo'ed as a level 45 arms warrior, got all 5 pieces in 15-20 kills. Nice and quick, just how I like it. 36,46 is where most of the 47-48's are, so go there if you're a bit lower level like I was.

3150 xp, Gadgetzan rep increased by 75.

Comentario de Allakhazam

This quest turns yellow really early, if you want to do it as early as you can then the best place is probably the south side of the nest as there are loads of 47-48 centipaar wasps there (the lowest level centipaar). As stated drop rate is fairly ugly so you might be there for a while.

Comentario de Allakhazam

i did it got all 5 with in 10 -15 kills where do i give the quets in at ?

Comentario de Allakhazam

The drop rate for this quest, seems to be very poor indeed, i kiled everything in the lair atleast twice before i got my 5 parts, the ppl who got theirs in 10 kils oe less, are just extremely lucky.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Where in gadgetzan is Senior Surveyor Fizzledowser? I don't use cosmos and I have run all over the place looking for him.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Horrid drop rate! The worst I have experienced so far in game. Took me almost 2 hours at 45 to get all 5 parts. Didn't die once, just killing non-stop and it took that long.

Stay away from this quest until at least 48 when the drop rate gets better. It's just a time waste until then.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I completed this quest as a 47 rogue.
Difficulties with the level 50 spawns near by.
As suggested before, kill the wasps. I believe
they have a higher drop rate for the item.

Ya as a 49 hunter didnt take long for them all to drop only took 6 kills then i was on my way.

Comentario de Allakhazam

As someone said earlier, this quest is VERY unfairly yellow-rated for a LvL 45. These guys are a pain in the ass... And the droprate is horrible. I've killed about 15 now, and I have not more than 1 little questitem in my bag.
Horrible.

Comentario de Allakhazam

The drop rate for this quest, seems to be very poor indeed, i killed everything in the lair atleast twice before i got my 5 parts, the ppl who got theirs in 10 kills or less, are just extremely lucky.

Even had to go back to gadgetzan to restock on food and water...

Comentario de Allakhazam

I found that the drop rate of the Swarmers was excellent.

Comentario de Allakhazam

The drop rate sucks, 15 mobs killed and then looted the first item
EDIT;
Now, when I looted the first item, 3 items more dropped =o

Edited, Jul 17th 2007 12:50am by Understolze

Comentario de Allakhazam

The droprate definitely sucks on this, I killed about a dozen before the first one dropped, and then they came sort of steadily. It's more irritating that there are way too many level 49 and 50s wandering around.

Comentario de Allakhazam

This is the worst quest I've ever had to do as a Level 45 Pali. Drop rate sucks and got mobbed constantly.

Comentario de Allakhazam

sorry wrong post

Comentario de Allakhazam

Loc (35-38) mostly lvl 47-49 only had till kill maybe 7, stingers seemed to have the best drop rate

Comentario de Allakhazam

for this i found that killing the wasps only dropped the parts...
i dont know if it was coisidence...
but good luck and happy hunting

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

Solo'd this Quest with LVL42 Paladin (Dwarf), it was hard but possible...

Comentario de Allakhazam

location is 36, 46

Comentario de Allakhazam

I did this at 47(mage).. And it is highly possible, but damn that droprate is off..

Comentario de Allakhazam

Just solo'd this quest at lvl 45 with a hunter. It was semi time consuming because of the low drop rate but wasnt really had. The only mobs that gave me any trouble were the 50 swarmers but if you play smart they arent hard at all (explosive trap, barrage, volley, and use of the pet properly). If you dont have AoE dont attack these guys --just go for the rest of the mobs.

Comentario de Allakhazam

i dont know what everone is talking about but i did this quest as a level 44 hunter and every mob i killed dropped the parts.. i only killed the wasps though

Comentario de Allakhazam

I was a little luckier with drop rate than some of the other posters here. I cut a bee-line (ha!) from gagetszan to the west side of the hive and only attacked the stingers(flying insects--level 48 and 49). I avoided the walking critters, but had one join the fight on 3 different occasions. Of the 3 walking critters, none yielded quest parts while the flying guys yielded about a 50% drop rate. I don't know if that was just a coincidence, but it worked for me. I always stayed near the perimeter cliff wall and when I penetrated into the hive, I would agro a stinger with a curse and immediately run for the cliff wall, and would time it to put my Voidwalker on attack at the last second so that he would intercept the stinger near the edge of the hive, just before it would have gotten to me. Worked every time and kept the danger of agro off except the 3 times when the crawling worker things wandered near enough to agro into the fight. The stingers give a nature disease that only lasts a fifteen or twenty seconds. It seemed that these bugs didn't like hanging out at the cliff wall, so it made a good base of operations. Very quick quest except for the horse ride there and back which was a zig zag game of keeping the hyenas and birds and geckos from knocking me off my felsteed.

Comentario de Allakhazam

The drop rate for this quest was absolutely horrid for me.

Also, while grinding this quest, avoid the Swarmers :/

I guess it's luck of the draw with drop rate. I killed probably 15 assorted centipaar MOBs before one of them dropped the insect parts. It became better after that but still not great. I went as a 46 mage and all of the fights were close. The first swarmer killed me before I realized what was happening. Mages have the useful Arcane Explosion to take out the swarm. I fireball it until the swarm appears and then one or two Arcane Explosions to take out the little critters. I employed mana shield before each fight and needed it. One of the swarmers was level 50. The lowest was one of the stingers at level 47. A lot of xp but I'm not sure it was worth it. It does lead to the Scrimshank Redemption so maybe it is. The quest was yellow for me and was tough but doable.

Finished This Quest With My Level 45 Human Mage, Received:

Experience Gained: 3150
Reputation With Gadgetzan Increased By: 165

Info on Quest: Go to the Noxious Lair south/west of Gadgetzan. Monsters are around lvl 47-50 from what I could see. Killed maybe 8-10 of them to get the 5 parts.

Comentario de Allakhazam

cords are correct at 36,46
got all 5 with 8 kills
killed workers , stingers and swarmers
for hunters use explosive trap to kill the swarmer minions , 1 hit all dead

Comentario de Allakhazam

Did it at 50th, took 8 minutes exactly to collect all the parts.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Soloed as level 46/7 druid as i dinged whilst killing ^^ It seems to me that the workers and swarmers did not drop as much. The first 10 kills were not sucessful but after you get one then for some reason it gets easier. 4500xp at level 47.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I think with the latest update, the drop rate may have been changed. It was about 75% for me. Not bad at all.

Comentario de Allakhazam

i killed 6 of them to get the parts. the stingers dropped them every time.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Dunno why this quest is yellow to me @ 45 when all the mobs are 48-50 =(

Comentario de Allakhazam

Go to 36,46, in the Noxious Lair. I killed maybe 8 and had 5 Centipaar insect parts drop, took maybe 4 minutes.

Comentario de Allakhazam

We're marines fighting the bugs on Planet P. Don't you see some resemblence, minus the brain bug? :-)

Comentario de Allakhazam

wow. 36,46 works. i got all 5 out of 5 from there..

level 48.

Comentario de Allakhazam

They may have improved the droprate because when I two manned this earlier the 10 required dropped from about 15 bugs.

Comentario de Allakhazam

For a Druid, the swarmers are simple, just thorn yourself before fighting them, they die on contact.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I agree, this was not too crazy. In fact, I had to kill about 20 of these in combination: wasps and swarmers, nothing more along the north edge of the lair, too. 45 NEDruid. Thorns, roots and barkskin are your friends! :D

Comentario de Allakhazam

This took me 25 minutes and I found the best drop rate off of the wasps, which are mostly 47 level. In fact, I only got the drops off of wasps. Stay away from the swarmers because they are 50 level and have little swarm minions that you cannot even see that will kill you quickly. They only hit for 1 hp each, but when you have about 20-30 of them hitting you at the same time, you can die quickly if you do not have an area spell.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Just look for centipaar stinger at 36, 46. I got the drop 5 out of 5 kills.

Enjoy =)

Comentario de Allakhazam

I dunno what happened with all the rest of you, but i killed 5 bugs and 5 insect parts dropped...

Comentario de Allakhazam

I got this quest at 45 (warlock) and it appeared yellow in my journal, so I figured the beasts would be 46-47. When I got there, I was ambushed by lv 50 Swarmers and promptly killed the first couple of times. What I ended up doing was going around the lair, scouting for more manageable beasts. Most of them ended up being lv 49 Stingers and lv 48 bees. I did manage to take down a lv 50, but it was a very close fight (it killed my Voidwalker, but I'd brought its health low enough to kill it with a Shadowburn and a fortunate Nightfall proc). It took about 10-12 kills to get the insect parts, so the drop rate was decent.

It seems to me that the quest was a bit unfairly marked yellow for a 45 (if I understand correctly, the difficulty of a quest depends on the level of the highest mob). So the quest should have been red for me. I didn't find any lvls 47.

If you're soloing this at a lower level like mine, I'd advise you don't go into the lair, but stalk the ridges and use a ranged attack to pull stingers, bees, and workers away from the Swarmers. Watch your back, though, because there are lv 49 basilisks roaming the edges.

Overall, doable at 45, but I wish I'd known how hard it would be before embarking on it.

Here are the corr. 35,46

Comentario de Allakhazam

The droprate seems off, more like 10-15%. I didn't see many Sandreavers, but the 2 I did kill both dropped the parts. As opposed to the Wasps who I got 1 out of 20 or so.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Killed about 25 to complete this quest. The insect parts seemed to drop more from the swarmers but this could just be a coincedence. Either way you kill enough they will drop.

Comentario de Allakhazam

These guys are slightly SE of the pool from the last quest. They roam around pretty randomly, so make sure you're always watching your back. I stuck to pretty much everything but the Swarmers with their evil little minions. I went in the tunnel into the ground and had decent luck. Not sure if all will flee, but the workers will, which may cause you trouble.

All were level 47-50.

I killed 16 for the 5 drops.

+4500 XP
+150 Gadgetzan Rep

Level 47 BE Paladin

Comentario de sharmain

Comentario de trashdove

Is it normal that 9 out of 10 times, these mobs simply drop nothing? Very frustrating indeed

Comentario de marulol
