this can be a very simple quest.

get in the water S of the ruins, and go E of the east bridge.

come up near 50,70 (or on the map what looks like just E of the ruins) and kill the 1 or 2 single mobs on the hills.&nbsp look for big silos with blue light streaking out of them.&nbsp clear out any stray mobs and blow horn.

I've seen the parasites come in mobs of 2 or 3.&nbsp back up to the hills to fight them so you don't aggro any of the undead in the area, and use the water as an escape if necessary (or for more room, as there are no mobs in the water).

when you kill the last parasite of the current group- another parasite can immediately spawn in the exact same spot, and this can happen multiple times.&nbsp I have seen the parasites heal and do something like a self-banish, where they regain all health, wont attack, but can't be hit for probably 15-20 seconds.&nbsp

took me 10-15min solo with a lvl57wrlk

Just a guess, but don't stand between two silos when you summon. You may end up summoning from both. After you summon, the glow goes away from the silo for awhile.

These are beasts. A hunter can freeze-trap one, put a pet on another and scare yet another, so three are manageable, if you're not surprised by them (as I was). A druid could sleep one.

With the constant re-spawning and the "slow" spell, these are long fights. Mana users should wear +Spirit gear, or they may run out of mana from healing the pet/themselves, casting spells, etc. Use whatever crowd control you have for bandages, heals, etc.

Fortunately, they don't hit too hard.

/tloc 49 69

It seems as though their health has been nerfed as of the 2.3 patch. I did this on 12/19/07 and each of the worms had approx. 710 health.

If you are not an aoe class and cannot take the worms, jump into the water and they should evade; making it so you can take them one by one and heal between the waves of worms.

The inn is located at tloc 40,69 for those that don't remember, like me. It's due west of the R in Ruins on the map.

Silos are at 49,69 ... Just east of the bridge that runs into Andorhal from the south.

I did this one tonight, the day after they applied 1.10, no idea if that made a difference.

But different it was. Firstly let's make it clear the silos are just on the Northern side of the river that runs south of the town, next to the bridge that comes into the town from the SE (not south).

I concentrated on the group of 3 silos nearest the bridge. I blew the horn SW of the SW-most silo, on the theory this would make sure I didn't trigger grubs from more than one silo.

That seemed to work, and I only ever got one or two grubs at a time. Twice after I killed the second of two grubs a third one spawned.

Once I'd done them I retreated and healed, then dealt with the next silo in the group, etc. By the time I'd done the third, the first one had reset (you can tell this by the blue lights appearing back above it) and I went back to it and started the sequence again. If an undead mob nearby spawned while I was waiting I always went and killed that first.

The only problem I had was after killing the last one, another one spawned, when I killed it another one spawned, etc after about 5 in a row (all one at a time) I had to flee into the water. Once recovered I came back and killed it, one more spawned but that was it.

Long but fairly easy overall, if you are careful. I think the people who got 15 grubs at once must have blown the horn next to at least 3 silos at once or something like that.

As a 57 rogue I died 4 times trying to complete this quest and you will too. Because you cant stealth. The maggots have you targeted. Also they will follow you a little way into the water.

Step 1. Find the stinking silos. Go back to Chillwind camp. Then go through the Sorrow Hill Graveyard to the bridge taking you into Andorhal(sp). Just before you get on the bridge look to your right. About 1:00 and in the distance you will see two trees and a windmill. Jump into the river and swim straight to the windmill. Climb the bank on the other side and you will find three silos. You will know them by the blue light streaming out of them.

Step 2. Summon the maggots. Open your bag find the thingy and right click. The green maggots will appear. In waves. When you kill one another will appear immediately. You can not stealth or vanish. Just start hacking away as frantically as you can.

Step 3. Killing the maggots. Keep hacking and dying and trying to jump in the water just before you die to escape the relentless attacks of the maggots.&nbsp Eventually you will hack your way through 15 and turn in the quest.

This quest might be easy for a warrior or paladin but for a rogue deprived of stealth and a good opener it is a real pain.

several silos at about <48,66>

Since someone posted the wrong coordinates I died probably 3 times trying to find Chromie. The actual coordinates to turn this quest in after you finish are

(39,68)

Silos are currently at 49,69 in Western Plaguelands
Seems the coords have changed in the last year

When you summon them you can get either 1, 2 or 3 pop on you.

Anytime you kill one, there is a chance of another popping.

So blasting them might not be a good idea since you might just get more pops. Better to try be efficient and keep mana / hp up so if more keep spawning you can keep killing.

Also, if a new one pops it pops where last one died. So I was able to dot one and fear near death and it died and new one popped far away so I could pull solo after finishing wave.

Cheers.

the silos are at East of andortal ruin,

lvl 59 lock... set voidwalker on agressive and let him catch initial aggro.... then just kill 1 at a time and you should be fine... didnt use a healthstone, potion, or anything the whole time... but if you're a few lvl's lower you may need too ^_^...

Found 2 silos at 45,62

10 parasites spawned the first time for me but I just basically ran off when I was low on health or mana or had cooldowns... run off til you lose aggro and then you can come back and the parasites will still be there... just a little trick that got me through this quest as 58 mage :)

Be careful. Only 2-3 spawned for me on the first 2 silos, but I had EIGHT spawn on me on the 3rd silo. Had to spawn a 2nd Felguard on that one as the first one got killed.

Solo'ed easily as a 56 warlock.

very easy but had to use one health pot at one point as i had 4 0n me no problem at all

Wasn't too bad and died once because I clicked the wrong mana potion ><
I was 56 when I did this and at all time there was three of them popping up at the same time!
Make sure you have Inner fire up and touch of weakness does help a bit, and if you dont have the macro to self cast shield on you get it now: /cast [target=player] Power Word: Shield(Rank X)&nbsp just replace the X with whatever rank your shield has!
Save time and make your life a bit easier!

Then have 4 or 5 major mana potions ( will help also ) 'cause you will run out of mana before the next spawns after the mains dies!

Blow the horn, shield, cast on highest worm vampiric embrace, vampiric touch( try to do that while ur bubble is still up or you'll be casting this spell forever), SD:P, Devouring plague. (this guy would be acting like ur healing pet with all those dots on it! Dont forget to bubble up whenever you can! Switch target cast Vamp touch, SW:P and Vamp emb if ready to be cast again and same thing with the third one! You should have enough mana to dots all three of them! Use a mana pot go back to highest lvl just use your wand 'cause cuz he has a few hp left and&nbsp the two other MB should suffice!
And the same thing the other spawn!

I only had to kill 5 each time i blew the horn total till i reached 15 worms!
This method worked perfectly with me and hope it will with u too my priestly friends

Not hard to solo, use the item given near the glowing silos and some larvas will spawn.

Between 1-3 at start, and between 1-6 over time. They hit weak and slow though, so its not that bad.

Gives Counting Out Time

Done as 58 Warrior.

I solo'd this as a lvl 55 shadowpriest.. Wasn't easy, but wasn't impossible either.

1st spawn: 3
2nd spawn: 1
3th spawn: 1
4th spawn: 4
5th spawn: 4
6th spawn: 4

The first silo spawn 2. after which it respawn additional 4. A long fight.

With all the posts here saying how hard it was I was expecting the worst.

I am a 55lvl druid. Did this alone. No extra heal or mana.

Completed in less than 10min! This includes dieing once because of a respawn of a nearby mob.

Edited, Fri Feb 17 19:34:23 2006

when i did this i found that as i am a feral druid i put a rejuvanation on then i fight in bear form if i need to heal i stun one then come out for a heal make sure you clear the area first as you could have problems if any skeletons or ghouls spawn ...

good luck the silos are at 49 , 69

Just finished this quest and turned it in just fine, no trouble at all.

1st spawn: 1 parasite
2nd: 2
3rd: 2 plus one add when the 2nd died
4th: 2 plus one add when the 2nd died
5th: 3
6th: 2 plus one add when the 2nd died

The slow they cast makes these fights VERY long. I feel sorry for you if you can't heal throughout them.

I had a very hard time doing this quest as a level 58 warrior. Each time I opened a silo two would fight me and cast slow - making it VERY hard to do damage using my 2h axe. Then when one would die another would spawn and that would keep reoccurring until I died. I believe one silo spawned > 10 of them - so it was constant fighting. If they didn't cast slow it woulda been a piece of cake, but because of that damn spell and because I didn't have anymore healing pots, I died probably 3 or so times doing this quest =/

Well, I dunno how this is supposed to work, but I just assumed that if I didn't kill them fast enough they would respawn when one died.

1st attempt: no idea what I was doing, died before I killed even one.
2nd: Killed 3 then the stopped spawning.
3rd: Killed all the rest I needed in one summon. VERY hard. I only lived 'cuz my treants' timer finished and a nice druid came by and gave me a heal. At one point I ran and ate/drank and came back but didn't have to resummon.

Seemed pretty hard... might just be because they wouldn't stop spawning on me.

Things were going great for the first three silos and then all hell broke loose. I surprised myself when I fought off five in a row - premed saved my ass - before dying on the 6th. You know its a tough battle when you drink a healing pot twice.

The biggest pain, though, is the fact the parasites couldn't care less if you are in stealth or not.

Level 52 Rogue

Entrance to the Inn is @ 44,71. Chromie is on the 2nd floor.

Me and my void rolled thought/r this, pulled a few 5 at a time but it all worked out.

57 Aff. Lock

I got 7 on the first spawn. 3 initial and 4 adds. Soloed it without much trouble, just took time to grind them down.

this one seems bugged after the patch... killed about 20 of them but it didn't show up in the log and i couldn't finish the quest at chromie.

what are the coords they are not accutate

worst part about this quest is the 'slow' they put on you as a warrior at lvl59 wasnt much as a problem, just threw retallion when it got rough :)

The entrance to the Inn is really at 40,68. Check the map for Cromie or just go to the northwest area of the city. It's one of the only whole buildings.

The water part is still in effect, meaning, If you run into trouble you can jump into the water and they won't follow. ( I found this out after taking a dirt nap once, running bck and getting aggo) I think as a hunter I could probably use a range and kill them from the other side as well but not sure.. food for thought.

My tactic was simple... kill one sheep the other... kiill the other shield kill the other... frost nova evocation and kill the 4'th... then i run away :P
