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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Nihlathak of Shattered Hand
Level 47 Undead Warlock

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

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

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

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

Enjoy =)

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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...

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

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.

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

36,46. Got my 5 centipaars in 5 min

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.

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.

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