Comentario de Hakine

Hoy, yo estuve intendo unas 2 horas con un amigo, y al final me llevaron a mi a la expedicion (yo marcaba la expedicion) y a mi amigo no, y justo salio el boss.

Comentario de GalenTheGrey

It looks like we're finally seeing the Nerubians get some use again! I hope we get an update on how their society has been doing since Arthas died.

Comentario de Jeancey

According to multiple reports, this item (which is needed for the Tell Me A Tale achievement) will be received after completing an island expedition where you killed Vorus'arak. He spawns on Skittering Hollow when Nerubians are there, typically in the pit in the middle of the island.

This quest is turned in at Kilix the Unraveler at the entrance to Azjol-Nerub in Dragonblight.

Hopefully this helps!

Comentario de Jezartroz

Confirmed received after completing Skittering Hollow on Heroic.

Here is a list of the rares killed:

Clattercraw the Oracle
Old One-Fang
Vorus'arak
Egg-Tender Kahasz
Banechitter

I would say, if not guaranteed, very high chance to drop after killing him. He was found in the "pit" in a cave filled with Nerubians; he's a pain since he leeches frequently. Group was Blood DK, Guardian Druid, Disc Priest though, so YMMV.

Comentario de Bohrok

I killed Vorus'arak and got the quest. Kilix says about Vorus'arak's journey to island and appreciates player sharing the history.

Comentario de Mokrath

This is kind of a sad story.
Vorus'arak escaped from some spider war and managed to avoid the whole Lich King debacle only to die at our hands while we greedily pursued Azerite while fighting a war someone else started...
Cool to see the Nerubians again but was really hoping for more of a "he was a jerk who deserved to die" kinda story.

Comentario de Nyxallero

Man that's kinda sad, he escaped from the LK with some of his people, saw the rest be subjugated, had to eat his children in order to do so and now some random bums come up to his island slaughter him...

~~Btw Nerubian allied race when?~~

Comentario de Pwuebear

Received this as the end reward during a Jorundall expedition. I didn't notice if Vorus'arak was there as well, but I wouldn't have thought so. This was during Taunka week. I already had the quest item stuck in the mailbox from a previous expedition; not entirely sure if that factored into it.

Comentario de Voidtorino

It might be a coincidence but we farmed mythic and normal for ages - nothing. Then we queued 1 heroic (Skittering Hollow) and Vorus'arak was there.

Comentario de Elfzwolf

This will only drop when Nerubians are on the island Skittering Hollow. Occasionally, a rare called "Vorusarak" spawns in a cave. Note, there are always lots of minions called Vorusarak something or other, this is just called Vorusarak.

When my two fellow players tagged and killed the rare they got the quest and I did not. When all three of us tagged and killed the rare, we all got it.

So, look for nerubians on Skittering Hollow, then check the caves for this rare - tag and kill it.

Comentario de lvbodybag

I wanted to add that, unfortunately, you will not get the quest item to drop if others in your party killed him but you did not tag him. Either that, or my luck is negative. Did a normal with friends, friends found the NPC and killed him. I was in range but did not get the tag. I did not get the quest item. Womp womp.

Comentario de SpreadZer0

It was my last quest item, and I was excited to see Vorus'arak in skittering hollow. Went out of my way to kill him, without my team, but when the game ended I got zero loot. The NEXT island, I completed it with the same team, and when it ended......the carapace dropped. I don't really get it, but I'm not complaining

Comentario de Beace

Can anyone confirm to have gotten this in 8.2? It's been my last quest needed for the achievement for well over 6 months by now.

Comentario de Aurecante

Finally got it today, while doing Skittering Hollow in normal mode. For Vorus'arak to appear you need to have a Nerubian drawing on the Island Expedition table, but even then it can take you multiple runs for this rare to appears.

I had a macro "/target Vorus" and after 5 or 6 Skittering Hollow where it wasn't there, we found it in a little cave (coords 47 53). Both me and a friend tag him, and we both get the quest.

Also note that this rare spawns at the very beginning of the IE. It's not one of the extra rares that appears mid-expedition. So if you don't see it in the first 2 minutes, you can probably just quickly win the IE and queue for another one.

Comentario de Todesfeuer

I can confirm - /way 47, 53 Vorus'arak finally got Skittering Hollow to pop today and got it right away. Months and months of waiting for this rare and finally got it! Sad that it HAS to be on this map. But now you know!

Comentario de Celinepeon

Following the changes to island expeditions in patch 8.1, Vorus'arak's Carapace can ONLY be obtained during Nerubian week on the Skittering Hollow map. It is worth nothing that Vorus'arak is on a list of rare spawns who can spawn on the map and is not a guaranteed spawn. To check if he has spawned simply scout the pit area of the map and identify every rare available. To obtain Vorus'arak's Carapace the following conditions must be met:

1. Nerubians must be the primary inhabitants of Skittering Hollow for the week
2. Skittering Hollow must be the map your party is assigned to
3. Vorus'arak must be present on the map.

In my own experience, I killed Vorus'arak and received the quest item at the end but the changes to the loot system suggest that you can receive the quest item regardless of whether he is killed or not.

Comentario de Aribabacho

Got it today after 10-15 combined heroic and mythic runs in Skittering Hollow this Week. Pulled allways every Nerubian Mob i found but no drop at all! My last run was the lucky one and i found Vorus'arak in the farest corner of the island. Killed him and the Item dropped at the End! Finally the last Quest i needed. GL to all of you!

Comentario de mm0p

Nerubian is back up this week on skittering hollow. Second run i got vorus'arak to spawn, item dropped at the end of the island after killing him.

Comentario de Tunney

As of today this dropped for me, so it can be collected on normal Skittering Hollow (Nerubian) if you wanted to farm this easily. I found Vorus'arak in the northern part of the pit. He looks like a giant scarab beetle.

Comentario de Kronatan

Got it just few minutes ago. Also posted pic. For ppl who still havent it I can give few tips:
1) If Skittering Hollow with Nerubians finally spawned - don't wait for last days of reset. Probably you waste many hours before spawn. And next nerubians week in Skittering can took 3month or even more. Like it was before.
2) spam heroics. Better with a company. So you will close it in like 3 min.
3) no special spawn point. He can appear in many places. So use macros "/tar Varus" and check every boss point. For some strange reason Nerubians even at their week spawns VERY badly. Sometimes you cannot find ANY nerubian rare. Just few bugs on map. So all nerubians can be like 5% of total mobs on island. Pretty weird. Cant say guarantee but looks like all nerubians rares always spawn and 2nd half of map (left side, in crater).
4) I did around 80 islands before I got him. And around 25-30 of them was Skittering. So as you see spawn rating of this mob aint pretty cool.
5) you have to tag and kills boss. And you will get quest item in the end.

p.s.About "can I catch him while doing mythics/pvp" - perhaps. But I did 15 pvp wins on this reset and 10+ mythic without any luck. Heroics much faster so if you dont need to farm mythic/pvp for achieve - better spam heroics.

Comentario de Shamirr

It took me great amount of time to obtain this item, I'd like to suggest just joining with more chars, and leaving the expedition either if Vorus'arak is not present or if the expedition isn't Skittering Hollow. When I joined other island, I just left instantly, if Skittering, I ran around to check for the rare, then left, relogged to another char (because you get 15 minutes cooldown after leaving) and continued for hours until he was finally there.
Good luck!

Comentario de Djuntas

Managed to get it as well last day. I still like to think heroic spam with alts is faster - I had extreme bad RNG, with 15 islands in a row that you leave, and no skittering...Then I make a heroic dublon spam farm group and 2nd pop is skittering and Vorus is up...Note that I didnt get to kill all the mobs, but I did tag the boss first and kinda solo killed it 100% of its HP.

Anyway just spam heroic if you dont have many alts...30 min deserter is a problem.

Comentario de Moeinof

Ive been farming this since Island expedition begin and im a hardcore raider so i farm alot with multi character , this one is the only one that i miss and never seen him , I wonder why they make things like this that RNG is over the roof .

Comentario de LuxF

I got it twice in a row, it seems useless, I don't want to go to Northrend only for azerite.

Comentario de Doloria

Caparazón de Vorus'arak drops from the Swarm Lord, Vorus'arak in Skittering Hollow. Check Wowhead weekly News to be sure the Nerubians (giant spiders) are up in Skittering Hollow.

Locations posted for Vorus'arak(Click on name to see post)
Kronatan	no special spawn point. He can appear in many places . So use macros "/tar Varus" and check every boss point.
Doloria	We found him inside a cave at 50.04, 54.30 in the middle of the zone map. I think this was near the edge of the pit - the black area on the left of the map.
Jezartroz	He was found in the "pit" in a cave filled with Nerubians.
Aurecante	I had a macro "/target Vorus" and after 5 or 6 Skittering Hollow where it wasn't there, we found it in a little cave (coords 47 53).
Todesfeuer	I can confirm – /way 47, 53 Vorus'arak finally got Skittering Hollow to pop today and got it right away.
Dahustler	I found him around 35 37 standing in the open after around 10 HC Skittering Hollow today.
Elodeon	When I finally found Vorus'arak, he was in the middle of the pit (not in a cave like others have found him).
MatekFX	I done like 20+ skittering hollow HC this week and nothing, done ONE normal and he was there (left bottom corner of map).
Tunney	I found Vorus'arak in the northern part of the pit. He looks like a giant scarab beetle.

From reading other posts, I knew each of us had to tag Vorus'arak to get the quest Caparazón de Vorus'arak. We killed him, but no one received the quest. As we were leaving Skittering Hollow at the end of the Island Expedition, the quest popped up in large type in the objectives section on the screen for each of us. (Island Expedition difficulty was Mythic.)

The turn-in is in Dragonblight in Northrend. Go to Dalaran via the Crystalsong Forest portal in the Mage Tower or the Pathfinder's Den in the Main Gates of Orgrimmar. Check the map of Northrend - you'll see a large yellow question mark in Dragonblight. Turn it in to Kilix el Desenmarañador in an ice tunnel below ground at 26.2, 50.6. Fly down the large hole in the ground.

Caparazón de Vorus'arak is required for the Achievement Cuéntame una historia.

Comentario de BeerWolf

Finally showed up. After having done an absolute ton of Heroic/Mythic Runs with a premade group, switching to Normal it was up on the first normal run. Absolutely disgusting spawn rate...

Comentario de Crestafore

This week we had Nerubians in Skittering Hollow and I obtained the item. This item was my last of the two items I was missing.
Words can not describe my resentment for the Cuéntame una historia achievement.

Since the criteria for getting some of the other items are still vague people say Caparazón de Vorus'arak is one of the "easier" ones to find because it is well known/confirmed that it drops from Vorus'arak , so your only goal is to find the rare. However, I found my journey to obtain the item quite frustrating. I did about 100+ island runs in 4 days and 30+ runs of Skittering Hollow until I found Vorus'arak. Most probably some of my brain cells died in the process.

Here's some tips that might help some poor lost soul who is after the achievement, I'm going to state even the obvious stuff:

1. Vorus'arak has a chance to appear when Nerubians invade an island which can only happen if they are the enemy of the week, meaning you can't spam random islands hoping they invade if they are not 1 of the 3 active enemies that week. They can only appear as enemies of Skittering Hollow.

2. Which enemy appears as enemy of the week is random, there's no rotation or criteria. This means that it might take months for Nerubians to appear, which was the case for me this year.

3. Immediately when the island expedition begins if Vorus'arak is not up he won't appear later in that run.

4. Vorus'arak and Nerubians in general can only appear in the pit / left area of Skittering Hollow. Don't bother search the forest part of the island.

5. The exact location I found Vorus'arak was: 39, 53 some screenshots: https://imgur.com/gLQH7MY and https://imgur.com/BI5G286

6. Each run inside the pit I spammed the macro:
/tar Vorus'arak

7. Doing islands in Shadowlands means that you can only do random normal / heroics because there are no pug groups for mythics anymore, unless of course you have friends willing to spam mythics with you or you can try discord. Also I don't know how mythic islands look like after the 9.0 scaling.

8. Doing random islands I would most of the time be matched with low level folks who were most of the time new players and had no idea what they were doing. It is cute but also means you would probably need to finish the whole island on your own.

9. Reading this comment helped me very, very much. Basically: if you get island A that means the next time you queue on the same difficulty you would either get island B or C. To counter this you switch difficulties normal / heroic every time you are put in Skittering Hollow and you will have a 1/3 chance to get Skittering Hollow again on the new difficulty.

10. Listening to podcasts / chill playlists on Spotify helped me preserve my sanity in the process of doing the islands.

Think that's all. Hope some of these tips help someone.
Stay strong and good luck!

Comentario de TobiasAmaranth

8/02/22 - 8/08/22: Skittering Hollow + Nerubians is active again.

Recommended strategy: Complete a normal island that isn't Skittering (Verdant/Haven) and then only complete an island if it has a rare you need. Reload Skittering over and over until you get Vorus'arak, do not complete it otherwise.

Note: If the Opposing Faction kills it, you will not get the item. For this reason, avoid Heroic/Mythic. Speaking from painful experience.

Comentario de rainsford23

As of 10.0.2, Flynn Fairwind (the NPC behind the Island Expedition table) now allows you to choose to run Island Expeditions solo!

You can run normal, Heroic, or Mythic.

For me, I am running Heroic over and over:

- if I get Skittering Hollow, I search for Vorus'arak - if he isn't up, I leave instance
- If not Skittering Hollow, I immediately leave instance.
- If he IS there, kill him, THEN FINISH THE EXPEDITION.

This is the best thing to happen for this drop since... forever!

FOLLOW-UP: You need to get out of combat before you can leave the instance. Just a reminder.

Took less than 45 minutes to complete this.

Comentario de Snold

I found him today in the northern area of the Skittering Hollow pit, around 38, 36.

Comentario de ChefeSousa

Skittering Hollow with NERUBIANS Available this Reset on EU 01/11/2023

Best Method for me: Do 1 Normal Private (That is not Skittering Hollow); Than just Queue, Normal Privates which will cycle between Skittering Hollow, and the other Island you haven't done;

When you're in Skittering Hollow just spam a macro ( /tar Vorus'arak ); he will allways be in the pit area, if he isn't there right of the start, just leave instance and requeue; 1/2 chance it will be Skittering Hollow again.

Got my item in about 30 minutes of trying. Good luck
