Empty Termite Jar

Description

So, to bring pain and strife to the Scarlet Crusade, I want to take their precious lumber mill from them. I'm sure the loss of such a resource will cause them a great deal of harm in defending and rebuilding the town for their own reasons. Will you help me, <name>?

Start by taking this jar to Plaguewood in the Eastern Plaguelands. Fill it with the termites you find in their mounds throughout the woods. Come back when you have enough.

The Large Termite Mounds from which you need to extract the termites are located in several spots in the area south of Stratholme within the Undead encampments. They look like little juts of ground with a green ring on top. Each mound will give you around 20 termites when you use the Empty Termite Jar on it, so collecting 100 will not be as daunting as it first sounds.

If you end up with over 100 (which will more than likely happen), simply discard the rest, as you will not need them.

Located in Eastern Plaguelands in Plaguewood, just South of the tower.

It's not too bad once you know what to look for, there really isnt a set pattern.

Despite other people's descriptions here, I didn't actually start noticing many of them until I'd found my first one.

A picture of that can be found here.

If you have the termite bottle (and nothing's bugged), you just go up to the mound and right-click to get the termites out of it.&nbsp Took me about 4-5 mounds to get the 100.

Just run into plaguewood and there are 3 next to the road half way in. Easy quest and you really don't even need to fight anyone. The mounds respawn in under a minute or two.

For you pack rats, like myself...

you need 1 open space for "Plagueland Termites" as well as the "Empty Termite Jaw".&nbsp The termites stack to 100 but since there's no set amount of termites per mound, you may end up going over 100 which will require an additional inventory spot.

This quest will fail in the above described ways if you are in a raid group.&nbsp Before having a conniption fit, check and make sure you have left the last group you were in.

I was getting very annoyed with this quest. After I knew what to look for I completed it very quickly. I have submitted a screenshot to the site. They are located randomly. sometimes next to Giant Mushrooms and some times not.

This is a very easy quest once you know what to look for.

I soloed this quest with my lvl 51 mage. Its possible to do this as that low lvl, but died a few times because the hives where surrounded with lvl 56-58 mobs. Anyway, it was fun, and got 5650xp, but the money reward sucked...

Have fun!

I have a couple of termites left in my inventory after completing the quest. (well, not completely. I didn't get the "go back and get some more xp"-quest even though I did everything in that lumbermill.)
Are they used for anything else?

There is a way to screw up this quest for good. After you have collected the Termite's and gone back to get the next part of the quest make sure not to toss away the loose termites that appear in your inventory. Having though they were extra termites as I had though I had a barrel full. After getting to the mill and putting the barrel on the crate it leaks green smoke but without the termites in your inventory you will not get a complete for the quest. If however someone has found a way to fix this ^^ let me know. Yes I tried to abandon quest and start over but it just gives you a new barrel :P.

This is a good quest to do with Defenders of Darkshire. if you go to the northern part of Eastern Plaguelands you can find a lot 53-55 undead in Plaguewood that easily killed. Also thats where the termite mounds are located. Its worth it to kill the other undead for the Scourgestones. You'll also need to be careful as there are 57-58 level Abominations roaming. They are easy to avoid, but are brutal if they agro. I completed these quest as a level 53 warlock.

To complete the quest you have to click on the barrel once it starts smoking.

The spawn rate has been changed.
it is no longer 1 minute. They respawn at an alternate locaation so you have to move around and find them. The coords in the earlier post are still valid but I saw them at many other locations also.

1 thing I noticed while camping the same one for a respawn is that it didn't always appear in the exact same place. At one point the area I was in had it by a tree, after a respawn it was by the road.
