Devils in Westfall

Bring Dust Devil Debris to Collin Mauren in Stormwind.
Dust Devil Debris

Description

Ah, I think I have it. A messaging spell... I believe that's the effect he's looking for.

I'll have to create a scroll with the spell impressed upon it. To do that I'll need debris from a dust devil.

While I gather the rest of the components, why don't you head to Westfall and find one of the foul creatures? They are dangerous, but I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle if you're willing to subject yourself to one of Gaxim's experiments.

I'll be here when you return.

I accepted this quest and flew from Stormwind to Westfall. About 10 seconds before landing, I passed over a dust devil and marked its location.

Ran like hades for where I'd seen him, summoned my pet (playing a hunter), killed him, got the drop off the first one I saw.

It's all about luck, I guess.

Other things to note:

The Dust Devil managed to cast Gust of Wind before I killed it.&nbsp I double-checked, and it is confirmed by the "Raptor is afflicted by Gust of Wind" message in my combat log.&nbsp

Also, to answer a question above, this is the second branch of the "A Gnome's Respite" quest.&nbsp When you complete "A Gnome's Respite", you get "An Old Colleague" and "A Scroll for Mauren", which is this quest.&nbsp

As soon as you complete both those quests and turn in the items, you get "Covert Ops - Alpha" and "Covert Ops - Beta" quests.

Hope this helps.

Dust Devils are found in Westfall, which is a region South and East of Stormwind. Exit the city, follow the main round south and east and it takes you there.

Once in Westfall, Dust Devils are found in two places:

1. On the Alekson farm, which is found in the center-west portion of the region.

2. In the very SE portion of Westfall, near the Duskwood(?) border.

The devils looked like elementals. They were immune to root and my nukes (wrath) but by DoT (moonfire) stuck. They were level 18-19. Took two kills to get the dust to drop.

If I recall corrctly, this quest return 1,600 exp. (It may have been 1,650)

Dust devils circle around in pretty much all of westfall, however they are not very common. Only took two kills to get the quest item.

Confirmed again.

I found the Dust Devil just south of the buildings of Alexston Farmstead - popped the debis the first time!

Above is correct. I rec'd running around and you will find them along the way. A few posters on other sites rec'd the south of Alexston's Farmstead, but they're so spread out that once you kill the one roaming in that area, your best bet is to look for them the hard way.

Unfortunately, no coords as they'd be useless. Drop rate depends on your luck. I got mine on the 3rd kill (about 35 mins worth of roaming).

Yes, as for the strange reason as for anyone else posted information here the debris dropped near Alexston's Farmstead. I killed those Dust Devils everywhere else without success and then consulted thottbot and went to Baros old home. And as for most others it dropped on my first elemental that I killed there.

Having bad luck? Try go to Alexston's Farmstead to kill a Dust Devil :-)

Just follow the map linked and make a /target dust devil macro... i found every single one since they are too high level for most of the people questing in westfall

If you make a macro saying:
/target Dust Devil
and run around Westfall spamming it, it can make life a whole lot easier.

Read these post and decided to head over towards 38,61.

Bingo!

Found my first one - and got the debris.

He may not be there all the time. But if you find him roaming around an area. Please post the coordinates.

Hey. You never know.

I found a Dust Devil at <b>55, 41</b> but they move around, so you may or may not find one near there. I did this quest with a lvl 20 Druid and was able to get the dust from the first one I killed. When they cast Gust of Wind, I just shapeshifted and that canceled the effects of their cast.

You can find the Dust Debil Debris all over Westfall, just walk around and kill a or a few Dust Devils. First one I found waz located just a little north from the Sentinel Hill Guard Tower.

Good luck and have fun people. Allso I hope this information helps.

I just went around looking for random dust devils, and I killed 3 that didn't drop it, but I killed the one near Alexton Farmstead, like others have reported, and got the drop. I definitely suggest trying that one first.
