There are "Cursed Egg"s found around the camp (23, 74), they are in bird nest looking things outside of the huts.

They have a chance (seems to be a pretty small chance) to let out a Malevolent Hatchling that you can kill.

Comment by 9877

Some Cursed Eggs seem to not be clickable (perhaps they are bugged), just search for ones that are.

Comment by MrGorun

Confirmed 23, 74. Use the cursed egg then kill Malevolent Hatchling.

Comment by 12916

After you redeem three hatchling's you open 3 more egg's to get Malevolent Hatchling's that you need to slay.

Comment by ranky26

Very poorly designed quest, considering the very low chance for Redeemable Hatchlings and the complete absence of XP for killing the Malevolent Hatchlings

Comment by 15217

its very random what comes out of the egg.. do not bother with that :D

Comment by divinebaboon

the trick to this quest is that wait for fresh egg spawns...they always gurenteed a redeemable hactling until after some time...when the eggs go bad and they all become mavelont ones...

Comment by Amenn

Please realize that there are many nests that don't contain any eggs in them at all. In fact, I spent about 5 minutes looking for an occupied nest.

Comment by 37108

These cursed eggs are located at 23, 74 and are all adjacent to the different huts.

Comment by gusanswe

hehe, the gfx of the eggs (when "destroyed") is very similar to the "eggs" in the movie Alien

Comment by ElementStorm

I have opened around 20 of these and all that come out are redeemed hatchlings.. the rate of Malevolent coming out are very low.

Comment by Stiverton

The bird totems in front of a couple of the buildings wink at you.

Comment by 33080

I had just the opposite luck. Openned 10 eggs, 7 Malevolent and 3 Redeemed.

Comment by 45307

Yeah me too, opened 10, 9 Malevolent and 1 Redeemed

Comment by Innervate

Just finished that quest. Got 6 Redeemed and 3 Malevolent.

Comment by 31473

23,74 done the quest with 6 cursed eggs. how lucky am i?

Comment by 32405

just got 6 redeemed in a row...

Comment by 51233

after I had all my Malevolent Hatchlings, I dismissed my pet every time I would crack an egg.
I just did FD whenever a Malevolent would spawn, and after a few sec's of feigning, it would disappear

Comment by 2259

Yeah I had 5 redeemed and 3 malevolent. Not bad!

Oh another thing, be careful when fighting in the middle of their camp, a large Ogre, Mug'gok, comes into the camp and wanders through. He's only lvl 64, but it can catch you off-guard.

He will yell something about wanting to play with the birdies when he enters. But if you are locked in mortal combat with one of these ugly SOB's then you might miss it! :D

Comment by 20598

On the Malevolent Hatchlings, sometimes they followed me around as if they targeted me but they actually fought with my pet. I dunno why this happened but it kept me from getting out of range to shoot it. They also charged me in the start of the fight sometimes throwing me onto some Arakkoa. Also, 23, 74 is confirmed once again. I got the birds in this order: Malevolent, Redeemed, Malevolent, Malevolent, Redeemed, Malevolent, Redeemed. The Malevolent Hatchlings seem hatch a little more often than Redeemed ones.

Comment by 69231

I don't know that either it is a bug or not, but it seems i get more Malevolent Hatchlings out of the eggs than the normal. So I think that the chanse you get one is not that low.

Comment by 68701

Got about 50 million Redemed /sigh barely any Malevolent!

Comment by Infernus

1st Three Eggs... Redeemed...
4th Egg... Redeemed...
5th... Malevolent (Finally)...
Unable to locate more... No one else around... Most nests are empty...
...Is actually becoming pissed off at the stupid nests having no eggs...
6th Egg... Redeemed... (Is pissed now)...
7th Egg... Malevolent...
8th Egg... Redeemed...
9th Egg... Malevolent...
There are way more nests then actual eggs. Was tryin' to race thru remaining Terokkar quests, this slowed me down alot.

Infernus, Dawn of Damnation, Quel'dorei

Comment by 77035

If you get to this quest plan to spend a little time.

1st 5 eggs were redeemed,
6 - Malevolent
7 - Redeemed
8 - Malevolent
9, 10, 11, 12 - Redeemed

Lucky #13 was my last egg.. If you get to the spot and see someone else doing the quest too, you're better off skipping it because the respawn on the eggs isn't that great.

Comment by 75946

LOL thats funny my first four where malevolent and I was starting to wonder if I was doing something wrong. Then I came here and read the comments. Finally after 3 more I got all my redeemed. I guess I got lucky.

Comment by 79482

My 1st three eggs were Malevolent

2nd egg Redeemed

3rd egg Malvolent

4th and 5th were both Redeemed

Comment by Kolya

I did a sample of 20 eggs just for the heck of it. They're not easy to spot, but "Find Treasure" makes this quest total cake. For those without, the eggs respawned pretty quickly for me, and tended to clump around 2-3 of the huts. Just go from hut to hut, and slowly circle around them while examining the nests.

I got 7 of 20 malevolent hatchlings. 20-30% mabey?
#1-3 redeemed
#4 Malevolent
#5 redeemed
#6 Malevolent
#7-10 redeemed
#11-13 Malevolent
#14-17 redeemed
#18 Malevolent
#19 redeemed
#20 Malevolent

Comment by Caylie

I've found a tip for druids, with flight form (68+). (When you have slayed all the Malevolent Hatchling )
When you open the egg, fast switch to flight form and jump up the air. Then it will not attack you.

Comment by 57826

I had 3 malevolents in a row, then a redeemed, and then a malevolent again... so for me seems like the malevolents have higher chance...

Comment by 26961

quest sucked for me, i've been using imperial bracers(lv 49), so it was a huge upgrade, ended up with this pattern
eggs 1-5 = malevolent
eggs 6-7 = redeemed
eggs 8-11 = malevolent
egg 12 = redeemed

pretty long run back, too

Comment by 45726

<1>Malevolent Hatchling
<2>Hatchlings Redeemed

Comment by 55237

1-18 Malevolent Hatchling
19. Redemeed
20. Malevolent Hatchling
21. Redemeed
22-23 Malevolent Hatchling
24. Redemeed.

Not funny :( but finally replaced my lvl 43 wrist

Comment by 66185

You will find the eggs next to huts in big nests. Location 25,74 for this quest. Not all nests will have eggs so you will have to run around the village abit, they are red with a purplish glow to them.

Comment by dairylee

Eggs are all around the huts at 23,74.

#1-10 - Mal
#11 - Redeemed
#12-15 - Mal
#16-17 Redeemed

Comment by 19883

Hated this quest - every egg I broke for about 20 attempts was Malevolent.

But I think the quicker you get to them after they spawn the less likely they are to be Malevolent. It kind of hints at this in the quest log also.

To me, it seems like every other summons the mob, and every other summons the little birdie. Not important, but seemed funny :D

Comment by 107318

You have no idea how much it means to us without coords when someone includes a map. Bless your heart. :P

Comment by Renithe

I'm not really sure about this, but when I did this quest each time I got a Malevolent bird it was the 2nd cursed egg I opened, withoud fighting any mobs in between. Happened 3 times when I did this quest, so perhaps it's the sollution..

Comment by kurushii

The eggs respawn realy fast by the way.You can just hang around the hut to the south of the village which have 3 nests around,dont have to clean whole village.

Comment by 114876

23, 74. Right-Click the eggs, some will be demon-spawn (Malevolent). kill those, the others will be set free.

Comment by 116367

i hated this quest, i happened to get 6 malevolent in a row, which was no fun because i didnt need them for the quest, nor did they yield any exp.

Comment by 112798

Same for me, i had about 20 malevolent in a row then got the 3 hatchlings in a row...just keep on keepin on

Comment by shohanu

ya ive noticed the respawn time is decent at best but i've gotten 2 malovelant and 1 redeemed so far. I think bliz should make it when you kill a malovelent you redeem it or you dont kill it you just got it to like 10% and u need to redeem 6....make the quest way less annoying but thats just my opinion

Comment by 121157

Guess I was lucky, I only had to open the 6.

Comment by 77510

Wasn't too bad for me, had 4 redeemed and 3 of the malevolent :) looks like the rates are very random though

Comment by Hybzor

Mages can blink away to aviod aggro from malevolent

Comment by 124728

Looks like rate of Malevolents has been increased... i had to break only 8 eggs to finish q... confirm

Comment by 132106

I just went to the back at sat at 23.1, 74.1 and walked between those 4 or 5 nests, got the quest over within minutes. the eggs have a super fast respawn rate. with only killing 1 or 2 mobs that are around the area.

Comment by xylotism

4 Malevolent, 1 Redeemed, 2 Malevolent, 2 Redeemed. Couldn't hurt for them to add some XP to the malevolent, but it's not too bad I guess. They were easy kills as a 65 Hunter.

Comment by 94519

Not a one of the eggs respawned during the time I was there. At lvl 64 this quest was rather easily. Don't need to sit and wait for respawn (if it does in fact happen). Easy kills if you just watch what's going on around the target and don't pull too many.

Comment by 129024

Just finished the quest, please don't believe the spawn rates for the eggs. I personally got 7 malevolent and 3 redeemed. Stick to the facts, just hatching even 10 eggs isn't a good sample size!

Comment by 139390

as a 64 rogue this was a very easy quest. All I did was break the egg and stealth or, since I'm a Night Elf, use shadowmeld. if it was a Malevolent I just attacked it if it was safe in the surroundings. Since I was sublety it was much ezer just to stealth and walk away if needed. What I did was,

1. I sapped a nearby target in case of aggro.
2. I broke the egg.
3. I stealthed or shadowmelded after I broke the egg.
4. I resapped the already sapped target so it was safer to kill w/o him aggroing or becoming unsapped.

Comment by 131451

not sure if it was me being incredibly lucky or if this is been nerfed since patch 2.4 but the first 3 i broke were redeemed and the following three were malevolent. on a side note, the malevolent birds have a knockback effect that can push you into other mobs so make sure to clear the area first.

Comment by shicabob

Tried as 64 rogue:

1. I sapped a nearby target.
2. I cracked an egg and a malevolent came out.
3. It resisted the two eviscerates I did and the target I sapped wasnt sapped anymore luckily I survived.

P.S : I should of resapped :)

Comment by 158305

Make this quest yesterday. Six eggs - 3 redeemed, 3 Malevolent Hatchling.

Run around 2-3 respawn point near Bone Wastes.

Comment by 138320

respawn? what respawn? all i see is 3 nests, no eggs and im waiting for 10 mintues already. lame

Comment by 192758

Im getting a ton more malevolent then redeemed

Comment by 82594

all the eggs I open spawns Malevolent, is there something special to do or is just my luck?

Comment by 23455

If this isn't the most annoying quest in Outland, I don't know what is.

The first egg I opened was Redeemed, I've had nothing but malevolent for about a half hour after. Still trying to get it done. In order to get Redeemed Hatchlings you have to break newly spawned eggs - except there's no way to tell which eggs are new and if the bird will be Malevolent or not. Waiting for the respawns is pretty much the best way to do it, even though I've waited in upwards of 5 minutes sometimes. On top of this, the Malevolent Hatchlings drop nothing and have a nasty -50% damage dealt debuff.

Ugh, I hate this quest.

Comment by 198056

Okay here is a tipp that helped me finish the quest without having to kill one extra Malevolent hatchling:
Open the egg, and once the bar is at like 95%-99% (Taking lag into account :P) "interrupt" the opening by moving. And voila, you are almost guaranteed to receive a Redeemed Hatchling. Worked for me everytime I tried it.

Enjoy and let us know if it works for you!

Comment by 202176

I think have a petry small change to let out hatchling redeemed.
The cords are around 23.70 and good luck :)

Comment by KayOess

I haven't seen this on this page, but yesterday when I was doing this quest, Quest Helper actually knew whether an egg would have a redeemed hatchling in it or not. This could just be a fluke, of course, but it worked every time. However, I'm not sure if using an addon in this way is within the game's rules.

Comment by htgome

break the egg and then click queickly while the effect goes on and the bird will redeem, if you don't do it, one malevolent will appear

Comment by 583851

I dunno how good your patience is, but for me, those eggs didnt respawn fast at alllll. If you have a flying mount just go directly over an egg, kill it's protector(typically only 1, sometimes none at all), then get the egg. & yes, there are ALOT more malevolent ones, about a ratio of 4:1, malvelent than reedemed.

Comment by Toliana

This quest now apparently only lets you open three of each kind of egg.. so if you complete one set and are working on the other, and it won't let you open the eggs you see - don't fret, you are not bugged! Just wait for the kind you need to respawn.

Comment by Lunii

Alright, after messing around with this quest for about 2 hours, I will explain what happened to me, and the way to fix it. When eggs spawn, they spawn light or dark. They're not light and slowly go dark, they spawn one way. When I started the quest, ALL of the eggs spawned were light. After getting three redeemed hatchlings, I could open no other eggs. I abandoned and reacquired the quest. This time I got 3/3 redeemed and 2/3 dark. After much cussing and many attempts in that fashion, I started over. I opened 3/3 light eggs, and there were only 2 dark eggs again. So instead of opening them and hoping another dark one took the place of the dark ones I opened, as that had not worked for half a dozen attempts or so, I left them alone, and abandoned the quest. Restarting it, I did the same again, until I was certain there were 3 dark eggs to be opened. If you aren't lucky enough to have people doing this quest on your realm, this seems to be the only way to complete the quest if the eggs start out all dark or all light.

I hope this helps!

Comment by mstieler

Agh. Got my three Redeemed just fine, off the first three eggs I found (all looked like normal-ish eggs). Next egg had a purple aura, and was called "Cursed Egg", cracked it an got a Malevolent Hatchling. Now I'm stuck; there four eggs that looks like cursed eggs, but I can't interact with them. Eggs don't seem to be respawning.

Comment by 1034837

I just finished this quest with a friend and she had to abandon the quest twice before we could finish it. The malevolent hatchlings did not spawn as often as the redeemed ones. The most we had at one time was two but it was usually one malevolent to three redeemed and three or four that we could not open and are assuming were redeemed. It seemed to reset spawns by abandoning and restarting the quest. Recommend doing this with at least one other person so as not to waste time.

Comment by 1035776

The quest seems to currently be glitched, I've done it twice now, both times got 3 redeemed before getting 3 malevolent, as soon as I get 3 redeemed, I can no longer click the eggs.

Comment by 945326

Here's the problem:

The eggs spawn as either redeemed or malevolent. Once spawned, they do not change.

So if you come into the area and all the currently spawned eggs are redeemed, once you open three of them, you will no longer be able to interact with any more eggs. You will have to wait until those three eggs re-spawn. And the re-spawn timer is excruciatingly slow.

Once they do re-spawn, they have a 50/50 chance of re-spawning as either redeemed or malevolent. So if you've got your 3 redeemed hatchlings, and the three eggs you've already opened re-spawn as redeemed, you still can't interact with any of the eggs.

There is no advantage to dropping the quest and re-starting it, as that won't change any of the redeemed eggs into malevolent eggs or malevolent eggs into redeemed eggs. It's just a random chance as to which way they will re-spawn.

So unless you're supremely lucky and manage to get there when there are three of each kind of eggs, you'll end up spending a lot of time waiting for eggs to re-spawn. And if they all re-spawn the kind you already have, then you basically end up sitting there waiting for somebody else to come start the quest and open more eggs. Which you will then have to hope re-spawn the way you need them to.

So, essentially, you have two options:

1) Keep going off and doing other things and then come back to the area once in a while to see if any of the eggs sparkle for you again (which could literally take hours), or

2) Skip this quest.

Comment by 1045746

I believe this quest is bugged?

I have tried to take this quest twice and both times with the same result. In the first 3 eggs there are 3 Redeemed and in the fourth I get a Malevolent, but then I can't open any more eggs. I see eggs in the nests, but I can't do anything with them

Comment by 959035

It may be slightly bugged if there is such a thing. On my first attempt of the quest I couldn't complete it because not enough of the malevolent eggs rezzed. I returned another day and abandoned and restarted the quest after reading comments on here. I got all the redeemed first (this seems to be the trend as this happened on my first try as well) then I went to do the malevolent, but I waited and ran around counting and only 2 had rezzed. I waited for a little bit still looking around for a third before I even attemped and sure enough a third one rezzed which allowed me to complete. I would suggest trying this. Do the redeemed first then before you start the malevolent wait and count the rezzed malevolent eggs until there are 3. I have a feeling that the quest is bugged that if you get 2 of the three before waiting for a third to rezz, you won't be able to complete

Comment by 717646

This is the first time I ran into this "no more clickable eggs" bug. Three eggs, all Redeemed, now the eggs aren't clickable anymore.

This really sucks...

Comment by 998922

I had trouble with them spawning today. I just abandoned the quest and started it again about 15 minutes later and was able to get all of them.

Comment by 1062476

So, I decided to make a WoWhead account just to post my issues with this quest, but a way to "cheese" the egg spawn to get your 3 malevolent eggs.

As others have posted, I have had trouble with getting my 3 malevolent eggs, with the eggs becoming non-clickable. Now, working on Loremaster of Outland, I have to scrounge whatever quests I can get, so I was persistent about finding a way to complete this quest without waiting a long amount of time. After an hour of brainstorming/camping eggs, I came up with a solution.

Yes, the eggs are predetermined whether or not they are redeemed or malevolent. So, whenever you collect your 3 redeemed, look around for any sparkling eggs, but DO NOT CLICK THEM. Memorize where they are (and hope that no one is around to snipe the eggs from you later on). Abandon the quest. Fly back to the quest giver (For reference: 37,50 in Terokkar Forest). Restart the quest. Do not click the eggs that you have memorized to be malevolent. When you click 3 redeemed eggs, you're forcing the respawn of the eggs, therefore speeding up the chance to get your malevolent eggs. Eventually, you'll have your 3 malevolent eggs to go with your redeemed eggs.

Happy questing!

Comment by christhekiller

whom ever designed this quest obviously doesn't know what a decay factor is. I'm sitting on my realm missing one malevolent and all the eggs are spawned redeemed so all i can do is either drop he quest a respawn eggs myself or wait for someone else...

Comment by tworley210

Took the advice about doing the 3 redeemed and waiting for three eggs to sparkle before cracking more. Did one and had to watch as a hordie broke one of my eggs. I think this tactic will work if the other players allow it. By the way, I waited over an hour for the other three to spawn. I'm taking some other good advice now. I'm abandoning this god forsaken misbegotten quest.

Comment by sourfire

I don't get how his quest is still a buggy mess so many years down the road but if you click the eggs and don't get 3 Malevolent Hatchlings first you can no longer click the eggs. I found an easy work around just invite a friend to your party and convert it to a raid click the egg if you get one of the slay targets convert it back into a party and kill it. Then convert it back into a raid click the next egg and repeat until you have your 3 Malevolent Hatchlings then you can drop party and just click eggs until your done.

Links

Veil Lithic: Preemptive Strike

Break the cursed eggs in Veil Lithic. Redeem 3 Hatchlings and slay 3 Malevolent Hatchlings before returning to Kirrik the Awakened at the Refugee Caravan.

	Hatchlings Redeemed (3)
	Malevolent Hatchling slain (3)

Description

In the wretched colony to the southwest known as Veil Lithic, Terokk's minions are attempting to befoul their avian brethren before they hatch. The dark sorcerers of Lithic encase eggs in a shadowy curse. When the hatchlings emerge, they mindlessly serve Terrok.

Travel to Veil Lithic and prematurely break the eggs before the curse has time to seep in. Even if you are too late, you can put down the tainted ones.

Remember, the Light shines brightest in the darkness.
