Very easy to get swarmed when doing this.

Try to pull drones away from any other drones so you don't get swarmed.

The invaders are down in the cave, you must kill the drones for invaders to spawn.

Commento di 13910

67,64 is where you pickup/turnin the quest, it's part of a chain.
69,85 is the general area you find the mobs.
A tip is to worry first about the Invaders- they are only inside of the little hive(Entrance: 66,86) and then if you get all 5 and don't have enough of the other two types, go specifically for them.
Searchers are level 32 and 33
Drones are level 33 and 34
Invaders are level 34 and 35

You can also pick up a Cracked Silithid Carapace(Seems to have a high droprate) which starts a quest to collect items off of the Silithid corpses. https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=1148

If you're one of those classes that can't handle adds very well, consider skipping this part of the quest (Get your parts and move on out). These things assist from very far away and it's not uncommon for a fight with single Silithid in the middle of nowhere to end up with you swarmed by five.

Commento di november

This quest also yields 58 reputation with each of the other main Horde factions.

Commento di Velariana

The invaders are a huge pain in the ass, me as a Hunter kept getting swarmed in the cave by Drones.

Agreed. I killed lots of drones, and couldn't get ANY invaders to spawn. Skip this quest - it's a waste of time.

Commento di rov4416444

Invaders and Drones share a spawn inside the cave. You should head here first and clear out everything.

Commento di Thottbot

Moktar Krin is at 68.64 (Thousand Needles)

Commento di Thottbot

took me about 20 mins to finish, died once while in the cave. solo'd this one with my lvl 36 hunter.

Commento di Thottbot

I found them in the cave also

Commento di Thottbot

They will also come to the aid of the invaders/searchers, not just one another. Gotta pull these guys way apart before settling down to kill them.

Edit: also, terrain is no obstacle to the ones rushing to assist. Climbing straight up the sides of the walls of the dig, for example.

Commento di Thottbot

This can be a tough quest for melee characters (warriors, rogues) because the attacking the bugs seem to pull aggro at impossible distances.. i had 8 of them on me at one time, with more still streaming in from somewhere in the pit. Since mages seem to have no such problem, i finally figured that using a ranged weapon ie. a bow or gun to pull away the bugs will not aggro the rest (unless really close..), and after pulling them a safe distance away they can be killed normally. Tried and tested this, and it worked.

As for the invaders, which spawn deep inside the tunnel, its actually quite safe to walk in and kill them. There's a small offshoot to the right of the main tunnel, and if you pull the invaders to the end of the offshoot and kill them, the lone patrolling drone won't even notice as he walks past the offshoot entrance. About three of the invaders spawn in the cave at the end, luring them out might take some time, but its best to do it after the drone turns around and wanders back to the start of the tunnel.

Hope this helps you guys who hang around outside the tunnel for hours waiting for an invader to wander out :)

Commento di Thottbot

It seems that the Invader spawn changes size and location. If you go into the cave and can't find any, try killing the drones until they show up. I killed 3 inside the small caveren, then the last 2 showed up right in the front tunnel of the cave.

Commento di Thottbot

I finally got round to completing this last night. The trick is to pick off the Searchers and Drones from around the edge of the site. They are easy one by one. (DO NOT at any point drop down into the excavation hole below the wooden walkways. If you fight there you WILL aggro multiples). When you have enough of those, skirt around the site anti clockwise and you will see the entrance to the cave where the invaders are. Approach from the west and walk down the small incline adjacent to the 'hive entrance' from there walk in to the cave and take your Invaders one by one again. When you have 5 exit the way you came in.
This was so much easier this way, hope this helps.

Commento di Thottbot

As its been said, the mobs are easy on their own, but they will swarm you... sort of.

Each one is different.

The searchers don't generally aggro the other ones. Although they will on occasion.

The invaders are the next safest. They will only aggro other mobs if they are really close and they are low on health.

The most dangerous ones are the hive drones. They are the ones who are nominally passive. However, The instant you attack one, they'll chitter and call all the other ones around it (for a good distance). Not only that, they'll call again when they are close to death.

In other words, your best bet is to pick off the drones when they are far away from any other slithid.

Unfortunately, to get the invaders, you HAVE go go into their hive/cave. When you do, there will generally be at least 1-2 drones around that will aggro you when the invader is at low health. So your safest bet is (if you have trouble with multible mobs) is to kill the invader, he'll aggro some drones around you, and then RUN LIKE HELL. They'll eventually give up and as long as you don't hit them, they won't pull any more.

I just did this quest as a lvl 38 warlock and i would venture to say that u could do this even at lvl 33-34 solo as a warlock. possibly lower even. as a 38 tho, was a very easy quest. the searchers and the the drones were on the outside of the cave...those of u who dont know where the cave is, its south of where u pick the quest up, sw of the race track;kinda looks like an excavation site... what i did was since some of the mobs were yellow, i would kill the searchers first, then kill the yellow ones that were running around outside of the big pit since they tend to call an additional mob over. as a lock, i used the voidwalker to keep the mobs off of me. i did not kill the yellow tagged mobs inside the pit...harder to see additional aggro... when i cleared the searchers and the other mobs, i then walked into the cave after the invaders. in fact, that was all that was in the cave for me. also, i cleared out the whole cave for xp and even found a chest inside. simple to deal with these invaders when pulling using your DOT spells and then let vw torment them and take the dmg. i did not die once, or in fact, did not lose much health, only mana..hehe. if another strategy works better tho, by all means, do whatever is comfortable for u(using the succubus, felhunter, or imp could be better? try it out)...also, look out for an item that starts a quest that these little boogers drop..starts a quest called, "parts of the swarm"...these parts are gathered off of the bugs and then quest is turned in at xroads. good luck!

Commento di Thottbot

you have to kill some of the drones inside the cave for the invaders to respawn its like they are a replacement for the drones so kill some drones wait a few minutes and the invaders will spawn :) have fun

Commento di Thottbot

You might be lucky when you first get to the cave and find an Invader.. Kill him and then wait forever for a respawn. You DO have to kill the drones in the cave to spawn the Invaders. Watch their movement patterns and hit one when the others are far away as possible. I killed 2 groups of 2 this way plus, an unaviodable group of 4 that rushed out of the central area egg chamber.
After that 3 Invaders spawned (1 + 2) plus a lvl 36 elite Ravager in the egg chamber (the circular area in the cave).
The cave complex is very small with only 2 spurs off the entrance - pick your time and place and, as long as you can kill 2-3 lvl 33-34 mobs you'll be fine. Bonus - you get to open the chest in the left hand spur.
Did this solo as lvl 34 shadow priest this evening.

Commento di Thottbot

For those that don't have coordinates...you turn this in to Moktar Krin right between 1000 needles & shimmering flats, he's at ironstone camp.

Commento di Thottbot

Solo'd as lvl 32 Shaman. Picked off first two groups carefully outside the cave waiting to make sure they were away from others before attacking. Twice I had to kill 2 Drones at the same time. Barely made it. They show up from nowhere! Got killed once when taking on the Invaders inside the cave due to agro. Tried a trick next go around that worked every time. Instead of firing a lightening bolt and bringing them to me which alerts Drones as well, I headed straight at them and hit them with a Frost Shock and continued past the invader so I put myself between the cave wall and them. Killed the Invaders easily after that. Drones never came to help out.

Commento di Thottbot

Easy killing, highest bug is level 35. All the invaders were in the tunnel. Go to the mining pit in the shimmering flats. One one the bugs will give you another quest.

Commento di Thottbot

Possible to solo - successfully completed level 33 no deaths. Used a feral druid, simply take them on one by one (possible if careful even with invaders in cave), sometimes a double up but not fatal. With stealth, to pull one just unstealth a little away from them rather than attacking, then you don't pull their friends.

Moktar Krin located Ironstone Camp, NW Shimmering Flats

Silithids are south, there is a hole with the Searchers and Drones, and a cave within the hole with Invaders and Drones. Level - low 30s.

Also an additional quest is possible with a silithid carapace drop, for body parts - Parts of the Swarm.

Commento di Thottbot

The quest may be tricky for those of you who have difficulty avoiding over-aggro. About three times,I had to run out of the site because i had 4+ on me.

Despite advice NOT to go in the cave whilst theere are alot of Silitid roaming at the entrance (some suggest killing all the ones on the outside first), a well-equipped melee character should easily be able to dispatch two at once. I couldn't pull succesfully in the round room at the back of the den, though. Rogues may wish to bring a friend.

Occasionally these guys drop a carapace that begins a rather simple item quest located in the same area.

Beware, even the neutral mobs will attack you if you are engaging in combat with another Silithid within what appears to be at least 25 or so yards! I found the thrown weapon trick suggested above failed to work here.

Commento di Thottbot

When you first enter the cave there is only one Invader and several Drones.

However, if you kill all of the drones INSIDE the cave, then several Invaders will spawn.

Easy to solo, the Drones and Invaders vary from level 32-35

Commento di Thottbot

Solo'd this as 34 lock. The drones are non-aggro, but do link..a LOT. watch out, you might get 3+ of em. lol. The cave is rather easy. were approx 4 of the invaders in there, and waited for a respawn near the entrance, which didn't take too long. Also, watch for an item drop that starts the quest "Parts of the Swarm", easy quest to do while you're there. :D Good Luck!

Commento di Thottbot

Did this as a 34 mage,the searchers and drones can be picked off around the edges of the digsite,the hard part come when you get the invaders,as the den has quite a few drones around which come to help if you attack anything,i found the best way was to pick off one drone at a time,if you get adds just kill that one drone then run,come back,rinse and repeat till all the drones outside the cave are dead,then you can pick off the inaders one by one,there aren't many drones inside,and i only had 1 add the whole time i was killing invaders,but 1 add shouldn't be a problem for anyone.

Commento di Thottbot

You can find them from Tanaris at The Shimmering Flats, 65,86. Invaders are deeper inside the cave, gathered together. (about ~5 of them closer other) Also the yellow mobs, Hive Drones are closer, but they don't attack you if you don't attack to other. Some of them moves also from A to B so watchout them. :P

Commento di Thottbot

This quest can be easy for a druid using stealth. just got to keep an eye on what you pull. I never pulled more than one at a time. Those drones can be the biggest pain, but if you keep them out of the way, this quest is easy. Just Dont go in the main room of the cave and pull something. Wait for the respawn.

Commento di Thottbot

For those who dont have co-ordinates, the Silithid Searchers, Silithid Hive Drones and Silithid Invaders are all in the ditch in the bottom left (SW) corner of The Shimmering Flats.

Commento di Thottbot

We Actually Found It Easer to Walk around When killing we got Less agro

Commento di Thottbot

i extremely suggesting partying up for the invaders for ne race

Commento di Thottbot

the cords for the cave are 66,85

Commento di Thottbot

DO NOT FALL INTO THOSE TRENCH THINGS i saw my sister and her boyfriend do this quest they were both around lv 34 my sister fell in and got attack by like 6+ enemies and die.

Commento di Thottbot

i easily soloed this as a lvl 34 arms warrior.
the invaders only spawn inside the cave, but they have a really large aggro range, so its best to draw them using a ranged weapon.
and if u cant solo at least 3 of these guys then u should get someone to help u cuz although the drones are not aggro if u attack any of them they will swarm you.

Commento di Thottbot

As a note the Hive drones will aggro on you even if you are opening a chest in the area.

Commento di Thottbot

The neutral ones pull massive agro. However once inside the hive and you have to kill the invaders pull them and they won't agro the neutrals

Commento di Thottbot

Completed this with my lvl 33 hunter, kept my distance and was able to pull them out 1 by 1. Your right about the aggro range, beware. Also, the area is a contested ground, so therefore, i had an encouter with a lvl 33 mage ...... which i sent home packing hehe.

Commento di Thottbot

I did it on my 35 pally........

I took on 6 spiders in a row without healing so...

Its very easy...just time consuming

Commento di Thottbot

soloed at 31 hunter, bit hard but managable

Commento di Thottbot

Solo'd as a lvl 31 pally. Pretty easy if you ask me. Would agree with the post about it being nerfed up. Took out the first 2 mob types b4 i dropped down into the pit area. Then headed right to the entrance and cleared all the yellow mobs staying as far away as possible from the invaders. then just pull invaders with enough space to avoid aggro. 3 invaders spawn in the first part of the cave. take them out slowly and carefully and wait for a set of respawn and kill another 2. easy peezy.

Commento di Thottbot

very simple if in the mood to do it, while there you will kill a mob and it will drop an item which starts a quests, normally i dont read them things until after i done the quest im on, but read it as the things you kill drop for that quest.
just kill the searchers 1st as you get closer and they are the first things to appear,
Then kill the hive drones which are quite easy as they dont hurt too much, you might find 2 of them attacks you sometimes.
Finally kill the invaders inside the cave quite easy.

Good Luck!

Commento di Thottbot

i took on the swarm as a lvl 38 Rogue, its easy to take the invaders but takes forever for them to respawn.. im actually doing it right now i just minimized the screen to wait for respawn. very aggivating when you get 4-6 drones attacking at the same time^_^
well sure there respawned now.

Commento di Thottbot

took this on with a lv30 warrior,took all the outside mobs first then went to the pit. best way to draw them for 1 on 1 combat is with a ranged weapon to pull them or ya going to pul 2 or 3 at a time and ya got no chance! Once pulled ued a two hand weapon of lv24 with a hit rate 23per sec got the job done. also one will drop a quest which is easy as its drops of what ya kill and sends ya bck to barrens then org for a decent 1 hand axe!.

Commento di Allakhazam

When I did it there were 3 invaders (that I saw) all of which spawned in the cave...one in the back of the cave in the large round room and two near the front. Sometimes the drones would be aggro'd if I went after the invaders and sometimes not. *shrug*

Commento di Allakhazam

When I did this one, I found four invaders throughout the cave and by the time I'd killed them all I didn't have to wait too long for one to respawn so I could finish. I'm not sure where you guys are getting two from, but there were definitely more than that when I got down there.

Commento di Allakhazam

Solo'd this as level 37 Drood. Very easy, except getting the invaders took much to much time. The thing I like about it though was a I found a blue axe in the solid chest in the hive. It's worth 20g!

Commento di Allakhazam

This was a horrid quest. The little yellow buggers came, six on one while I was fighting an invader.

Commento di Allakhazam

ok, so i ran into the cave and saw 1 invader; killed it then waited. after about 20 mins i got bored and began to kill the drones in there. as soon as i had cleared the cave of all the drones, 3 invaders spawned. killed them, the kept killing the Drones and the Invaders kept respawning.

what I'm saying is clear out the drones, and the Invaders will respawn.

Commento di Allakhazam

All the little buggies can be found just left of where you gain the quest, the drones are unagressive so you can walk past them but when attacked they swarm in to help eachother, thats the only annoying part.

The invaders can be found int he cave at 66, 86, there are 4 in total as well as afew drones so TRY to pick off the drones first, they ganged up on me twice and I died since I soloed this as a just dinging 33 Warlock. Once you make your way around the cave and come back out the 5 invader will have reappeared by then... along with 3 drones :(

Good luck is all I can say but in the end and easy 2k quest.

Commento di Allakhazam

This is one of THE WORST quests I have done in this game. Soloed as a lvl 37 hunter with a lvl 35 turtle (then again with a lvl 37 bear). I pulled more of those stupid Hive Drones than I thought possible... no matter how far away you are (or the fact that they're supposed to be neutral and non-aggressive since their name is in yellow, not red). Also plan on finding a ton more searchers and drones, than the invaders. In my initial attempt at this quest (before getting pissed off and logging off to attempt again later), I only found 2 invaders in the whole area, both in the cave past... you guessed it... searchers and hive drones.
Just GO SLOW and watch your back... and btw the previously-listed coords were accurate.
Hope you have better luck than I did!

Commento di Allakhazam

This q took me no time at all, invaders were all in cave, about 8 of them

Commento di Allakhazam

I only found one spawn point for the Invaders (Thousand Needles (65, 85)) - respawn rate sucks.

Edited, Jul 8th 2008 1:32am by Lexibel

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest took ridiculously long for me to complete, I could only find one invader in the entire area, I searched inside the hive and all around the silithid area for any others and I couldn't find another one no matter how hard I looked. I had to wait for that one invader to respawn after I killed it each time and it takes a long time to respawn. They should either increase the number of invaders in the area or decrease the number you have to kill in the quest.

Commento di Allakhazam

i did this at level 33,and it was OK. The drones will walk right past youif you are not attacking anything or them. the tunnel directly to the right as you go in has the invaders. As long as you draw them out before you attack you are good

Commento di Allakhazam

As listed above, all mobs are approximately at 66,86 and around it. Searchers can be found around the perimeter of the dig, generally. The drones are anywhere and everywhere. Also as noted above, there seems to be some issues with aggro rangers of hive drones...When I was in the dig, I managed to aggro 6 that weren't even anywhere close to me. The invaders are also another problem. They seem to share spawns with hive drones in the caves, so they may or may not spawn. When I first got to the dig, I cleared the area around the entrance and the entire interior of the cave, finding only one invader. When I returned a few minutes later, every drone had been replaced by invaders.

SUMMARY: Kill the drones in the cave to spawn more invaders! Watch aggro ranges on drones!

Commento di Allakhazam

Just solo'd this as a lvl 32 Shammy. It can be done at this low lvl if you are patient and careful. As a per the previous post the Drones and Searchers can be found around the dig, all I can say is be careful and don't aggro to many.

The Invaders are another matter they were all lvl 35 and took some careful pulling and long waiting. One Invader definetly spawns in front of the entrance and thats the one I pulled, along in the beginning with one just inside the cave.

When pulling make sure you have cleared the path it takes of any Drones and Searchers as if you don't they will all attack you and that's when its time to run.

Also don't fall into the dig site itself and aggro something because it's no fun running from 10 mobs :).

Commento di Allakhazam

Invaders are in the cave! Drop in at 66,83

Commento di Allakhazam

Did this as a 37 troll shaman.
The little buggers go down easy by themselves, but be careful with the Hive Drones, if they see you killing one of their friends, they aggro.
Found all the invaders I need in the cave, the rest were outside.

Do this quest in conjunction with Parts of the Swarm which drops off a Cracked Silithid Carapace.

Commento di Allakhazam

rediculous quest.
invaders are too hard to find. and even if they spawn more at night it's still too lame to waste your time on.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just soloed this one as a 31 hunter with a 30 pet, and was wondering why my pet had a disease on him constantly. I found out as soon as I had to go melee for a short period: The Silithid drops a disease on you that increases damage taken by 25%, which last 30 freaking minutes. Thank god it doesn't stack.

Commento di Allakhazam

This is a terrible quest! The searchers and the drones are easy to get but the invaders are impossible. As of this time, only one spawns in the entire area. Its near the entrance to the cave. Blizz has got to fix this! Also like pemmala said, dont open the chest unless you want to be swarmed by drones. :(

Commento di Allakhazam

just a little hint do not go for the chest unless you have killed everything around it, if you do you will have at least 12 of the drones on you .

Commento di Allakhazam

Don't believe that crap about the Hive Drones not attacking. As soon as they catch wind of you beating down the Invader, everything in the room aggros. The only chance you may have to avoid this is if you run directly to the Invader and try to fight it in the corner where the others are farthest.

Also, there are still only two - maybe they spawn alternately to the Hive Drones?

Edit: Confirmed - kill the Hive Drones and there is a chance that more Invaders will spawn in their place.

The spawn rate on invaders sucks, juet leave the cave for a few minutes and come back in.

Commento di Allakhazam

I want to know why I have to kill 5 Invaders, but there only seems to be ONE in the cave. I'm waiting for respawn as we speak...type...whatever...

The Invaders must come out at night. I was there earlier today and there was 1 Invader in the entire cave. I went back tonight, and there were 8-10.

Commento di Allakhazam

Soloed this as a lvl 33 Warlock with minion. While doing this quest I picked up a carapace from one of the silithids, it opened up to a new quest Parts of the Swarm to be done in parallel with this one. You pick up body parts from the killed Silithids, and then take them back to the NPC at the Crossroads. It yields 2750xp and another quest to go back to Orgrimmar.

Commento di Allakhazam

I've been able to slay the Silithid Searchers and Hive Drones with no problems (except for a few aggro pulls as mentioned in some other posts) as a 37 affliction warlock.

However, I have yet to see any sign or sight of a Silithid Invader. I've gone into the cave, as it's where they're supposed to be, and not one has been spotted. Some posts say one was around, and some say that there were many in the cave. I'm at a loss at completing this quest, because I've searched on three different occasions for the little buggers. Good luck to any future questers on this one!

Commento di Allakhazam

1K needles, Shimmering flats, 68,86.
It's not bad at all. Just pull a few and kill them. But if you attack one, and another one is near, more will come from around it. aka they are protective.

Commento di Allakhazam

A little decieving as the drones will attack sometimes even though they are yellow (neutral)

Commento di Allakhazam

hi guys wat is the cord

Commento di Allakhazam

there are only two invaders in the entire area.. i had wait for them to respawn twice to get the required quota.. The silithids are very socialble.. make sure you aren't near any others while you are killing one.. they call for help :)

Commento di Allakhazam

This Q is hard one for a 32 warrior, cuz the Hive Drones are everywhere arround the Invadors, i havent killed even one Invader yet but ill keep trying ^^

Commento di Allakhazam

Solo'd this one at 35 with a 35 pet as a tank. The Searchers and Hive Drones can be found out side at this location: 67,84. These creatures are very sociable, even more so than the Raptors in the Barrens. The socialable aggro range is wide so watch out. Often I was attacked by 4 or more mobs at once and had to either run or Feign Death. The third mob, Invaders, can be found in the cave in the same area. The loc of this cave entrance is: 66,86. At first I only saw one Invader when I cleared out the cave but upon going back in more popped and as I killed the Hive Drones. My guess is that the Hive Drones are place holders.

My results:
You gain 2750 experience.
You reputation with Orgrimmar has increased.
Received 35 Silver

Commento di Allakhazam

Completed this in about 20 minutes at night as a level 31 warlock. the invaders were the hardest part of the quest, had to go all the way inside the cave. the great thing is the drones don't really take any mind of you so long as you don't attack the invaders to close to them.

Commento di Allakhazam

Well the there are lot more invaders now, just got all of the needed slithids in one go, great coords spot on.

Hmm. Seems Belgrom thinks those monsters are a threat. He wants them pushed back into whatever depths they crawled up out of.

I guess killing the dwarves sent by the Explorers' League wasn't enough--now I have to send a half-dead war party into another battle. We won't be able to do it ourselves; not while we're in this condition. The dig site's to the south of here. There shouldn't be anymore dwarves to deal with. Feel up to wielding a blade or staff and doing your part to aid us?
