Quest 2 of 3 in the Heb'Valok Chain

Both Factions • Zul'Drak • Level 75 • Heb'Valok

Collect 7 Fresh Spider Ichor from Trapdoor Crawlers near Heb'Valok.

Captain Arnath at Heb'Valok [35, 52] needs more ingredients for Alchemist Finklestein. Kill Trapdoor Crawlers in the fields around [37, 56] for Fresh Spider Ichor. Drop rate is moderate, so expect more than 7 kills. Complete alongside Clipping Their Wings since Zul'Drak Bats share the same area.

Vikstone's Classic Expedition

Vikstone now stood in a field scraping ichor off dead spiders for an alchemist he'd never met. The Trapdoor Crawlers at least had the decency to attack first.

“Listen, Warrior. I realize that it’s a lot to ask…

Fresh spider ichor is somewhat hard to come by, even in these heavily infested regions. But Finklestein said he’d settle for no less than a vat of it, and that he needs it soon. I’ll keep my men out in the field collecting reagents, but if the alchemist’s order is going to be filled in time, they’ll require some assistance. As you roam the fields of Zul’Drak, keep your eyes peeled for trapdoor crawlers and bring me all of the ichor you can find.”

Walkthrough

Quest Giver: Captain Arnath at Heb’Valok, Zul’Drak [35, 52]

Objective: Collect 7 Fresh Spider Ichor from Trapdoor Crawlers in Zul’Drak.

Walkthrough

Trapdoor Crawlers are found in the fields around Heb’Valok, roughly [37, 56] and surrounding area.
The drop rate is moderate (not guaranteed), so expect to kill more than 7 spiders. The quest text itself notes that ichor is “somewhat hard to come by.”
Return to Captain Arnath at Heb’Valok to turn in.

Efficiency Tips

Complete alongside Clipping Their Wings. Both quests are active simultaneously in the same area. Clipping Their Wings requires 7 Unblemished Bat Wings from Zul’Drak Bats, which share spawn areas with the Trapdoor Crawlers. Kill everything you see to finish both at once.
Skinners can pick up Borean Leather from the spiders, making the grind slightly more profitable.
