Just camp a spot... there are so many horde and alliance farming these guys, it'll be much quicker to camp a wall

Comment by missbanjo

Just be warned, my 3 toons haven't been able to eat during this quest along with Hopelessley Gearless and Still Valuable.

Comment by 146544

Why my Lvl 81 Warrior-Fury, can not eat after combat with Naga is a mystery to me? No one is attacking and the unfriendly males and females are well away from any point of attack? So, why can I not take food into my Warrior?:

Comment by Engrelled

If you're having trouble finding the abscesses, they look like the orange bubbles (Nesphira fluid) but they don't move.

Comment by 1329330

Something that has not been mentioned thus far in any of the comments is that once you destroy an abscess, an Idra'kess Ambusher appears and attacks you from behind.

Body Blows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMaHRn-yrsQ

Links

Body Blows

Attack 7 Nespirah Abscesses along the walls of Nespirah's body chamber.

	Nespirah Abscess attacked (7)

Description

<Captain Taylor listens intently to your recount of Duarn and Nespirah's conversation.>

I see. So the creature wants our help waking it up, is that it?

With hundreds of slaves already picking away at her pearls, the beast seems to be a pretty heavy sleeper. You might have better luck, though.

My suggestion? Look around the creature's flesh for signs of weakness. Maybe that weapon of yours will find a ticklish spot and force the beast to come to its senses.
