Description

Beetix Ficklespragg at your service! My cousin Noggle makes a living gathering rare herbs for Cenarion Hold alchemists. Or used to, anyway. He came back from his last trip with a strong poison running though his veins.

I've managed to slow down the venom, but to fully neutralize it I need poison samples from whatever stung him.

Noggle arrived from the north, so I'd bet my shirt stonelash scorpids or sand skitterers did it. Bring me some stingers and fangs and I'll try to make an antidote for him.

The best drop rate is around 62,25 to 62,27.
I complete the quest during 60min.
I think better place for it doesnt exist.

Only drops off the turquoise "Stonelash Scorpid" mobs, not any of the other Stonelash <enter other name here> yellow mobs that may spawn around the same areas.

The drop rate on these items isn't the greatest, but these guys are easily soloable by anyone tough enough to be in Silithus. Easiest place to do it is just West of Cenarion Hold outside of the Twilight camp. Plenty of spiders and scorpions around, plus some of the sandworms you need for a different quest.

A truly frustrating quest.

Triviality aside, I don't really recommend trying this unless:
  • You have the time (I spent probably an hour plus attempting to gather these items.)
  • You have patience, the drop rate, for me - was truly abyssmal
Basically you have to scour the desert in search of Stonelash Scorpid's and Sand Skitterer's to kill and take their fangs and stingers to help save some Goblin's life, the usual really.

Personally I found the area with the most of these creatures was around (68,43) it may be wise to also complete Securing the Supply Lines as the creatures required for that quest are in the area.

The only positive thing really about this quest is that you will gain a fair bit of experience seeing as you are going to be killing these mobs for a long long time. (Well I did anyway!)

Finally, If you are a rogue or druid beware! These enemies are more than willing to poison you and its pretty annoying having to shift out of cat form after every single fight just to remove poison so you can go back in stealth, be sure to bring some anti-venom if you are a rogue, just to make things easier!

Well, instead of going like sheeps where you are supossed to go... try getting around 70,41 and enjoy a spawn close to 100% drop, at least by spiders.

I tried many places, but found a fair droprate - maybe 25% on lvl 55 spiders around 70.40 +/- ofc.
And i got quite a few green items and spidersilk etc... worth good XP and money. And a good chance to kill Dredge Strikers from another quest.
Good luck...

Quite an easy quest, although as stated above, the mobs doesn't exactly have great drop rate. The quest, however, is a great grind but both mobs will CONSTANTLY poison you making it hard if your class uses stealth.

ok, i was doing this quest for like 2-3 hours.&nbsp well, i decided to go across the road, and see if those scorpids and spiders had better drops, well they did! so when your are at Cenarion Hold, go to the east path. and when you are walking down that path, DO NOT go north, go south! i found they had better drop rates.&nbsp i needed 4 fangs, and 4 stingers, and i killed 4 scorpids, and 4 spiders, and got em all!

One of the worst drop rates I've seen in the entire game. Don't plan on getting this done in under 2 hours. Not sure if its worth the time to be honest.

They must have tweaked the drop rate now because I got a good 25% or better on both the spiders and scorpids. Challenging for my 55 warrior but not horrific; took about 30 mins and quite a bit of food and bandages :)

As of 6/1/2007, the droprate still sucks. I've killed 15 spiders and gotten one 1 fang so far. I've killed 15 scorpids and gotten 3 stingers.

That's a 7% and 20% droprate, respectively.

Coordinates are correct. Make sure you do this quest with "Securing the Supply Lines" . There are just enough dredge strikers around to get two quests done at once.

Look. Easiest and fastest way to do this quest and the one after it, Is to follow the road till you find the Cenarion elve's that are on their mounts. There are like 4 lvl 60's, you aggro the mob and bring them to them and be sure to hit the mob as much as you can. Really sped up the process and doesn't require as much Rest time and stuff. Hope it helps.

Since the scorp's poison you, finish those first then move to the spiders and if you have the other quest for the snakes. Made it easier for me, didnt have to worry about waiting a min to heal/stealth.

Edit: Nevermind, for some reason the spiders didnt poison me before but the last few did.

I think they nerfed the drop rate on this quest. I did this quest with ''Securing the Supply Lines'' http://classicdb.ch/?quest=8280 at the same time. I was able to completly finish that quest and had collected all the stingers, but I still did not have even one fang drop. all in all this quest took me 3 hours to complete

Quite a few spiders in the area around 56.12, which by far have the worse of the two drop rates, the scorpions were about 35% drop rate for me.

Took me 11 Spiders to get the 8 drops. After 23 scorpids, I had 3 drops, but got the other 5 in the next 7 drops, so 30 scorpids total.
