Follow the blue road north of Zort and on your left is the Ice Heart Cavern, here i would advise you complete this quest as well as Stomping Grounds.
While doing Stomping Grounds you can continue to use the scraper to remove the poison dot and just throw away the extra vials when you complete the quest.

Corrosive spit wouldn't stick on my Warlocks Felguard. Had to go without a pet and get the debuff on myself.

Only the big once will spit.

Go to 57, 12 in Dragonblight.
Enter the cave.
Get hit with the worm's poison.
Use the scraper in your inventory to remove it.

Comment by 117973

You don't have you enter the cave at all, jump down and attack them thats there.

Very easy quest

1. Go to cords: 37 74 and enter the cave
2. Get poisoned by an "ice heart jormungar feeder" which is a mob..

Tips: I would dissmiss your pet cuz he just agro, doesn't matter if you make it stay cuz it wont due to blizzard suck and wont fix teh bug

euh smal snag here they don't spit i gues they die to fast

For hunters, you can cancel pet Growl autocast and turn on Cower autocast, then go into combat with these worms. Start with concussive shot, then dps them straight. They should spit on you on the way to reach you. After that, switch Cower off and Growl on, feign death when necessary then remove the poison and kill it. There are a few outside the cave too.

This quest kinda sucks as a high-dps class/spec (ret paladin in my case). You have to lay off the dps sometimes so that the mob has time to give you the debuff. Other than that, it is an easy quest that you should do with Stomping Grounds.

Comment by FourDeuce

Not only should you do this at the same time you do Stomping Grounds, but you should also remember that you have the scraper with you even after you get your 2 samples. When the worms spit on you, you can use the scraper to remove the corrosive poison and avoid the extra damage when doing any other quests while you're in there.

Comment by dJe781

Make sure you don't actually kill Ice Heart Jormungar Spawns, because these ones don't spit at all.

Comment by Ignited

Make sure u have a space 2 cuz i didnt had and was wondering for 2 mins :)

Comment by gem22

I had alot of trouble getting spat on by the worms, so i just ran down to rattlebore, and killed him, he spat on me, i wiped it off, waited for respawn, repeat.

Comment by MakriWorgen

I did this quest today and the exp reward has changed. It is now 2,100 exp and not 20,750 as stated at the top of this page. Money reward remains the same.

The larger worms, Feeders, are the only ones that will spit. The smaller worms, Spawn, will NOT spit. For higher levels, you don't even have to attack them. Engage combat, stand and wait. They will spit. Use the scraper and that's it.

Messy Business

Collect 2 Vials of Corrosive Spit from the Jormungar by using the scraper on yourself. Bring the vials back to Zort in the Crystal Vice when your task is complete.

	Vial of Corrosive Spit (2)

Provided item:

	Zort's Scraper (1)

Description

Even at first glance, the sample you brought me shows obvious signs of some kind of corrosive spit. It would be a natural assumption that the same substance these worms use to burrow through the ground has allowed them a formidable weapon against the Ice Giants.

Take this scraper and pick a fight with some of the worms. When they spit on you, use the scraper to remove it and bring it back to me.

Get me a couple samples - I'm going to have to use it as the base for an elixir.
