A Necessary Step

This is part 3 of 5 of the.

Steps

 * 1) Speak with Xilania Nevagon (loc: -496.00, 46.00, 271.00) near the Combine Spires in Greater Faydark to begin the quest. She will give you a Shrumbler Net (inventory item).
 * 2) Find a shrumbler hatchling (loc needed) in The Shrumbler Breeder Queen room within the shrumbler caves; the caves are to the west of The Nursery in Greater Faydark. Use the Shrumbler Net from your inventory (right-click > Use) to capture it and receive "a captured shrumbler hatchling" in your inventory.
 * 3) Harvest a shiftless sandsponge (loc: -346.65, -71.87, -762.31 -- but found all along the coast) in the sea to the east of the Nursery. A sandsponge (level 55 solo mob) will spawn on the sea floor and automatically aggro you. Kill it, then pick up (right-click > Pick up) the shrumbler hatchling (NPC) that spawns at its corpse.
 * 4) Release the shrumbler hatchling from your inventory (right-click > Release) near the front of the Nursery. Follow it (so that you don't lose it!) while it wanders the area for about a minute, "swallows" a spirit bud, then respawns as a frustrated shrumbler hatchling. Gut the frustrated shrumbler (right-click > Gut it) to receive the quest update. ''[Note: If your frustrated shrumbler hatchling becomes "bugged" and does not offer the "Gut it" option for the quest update, you can return to the shrumbler caves and reuse the Shrumbler Net to capture a new hatchling; there is no need to return to the quest giver and delete/restart the quest.]
 * 5) Return to Xilania Nevagon to complete the quest and claim your reward.
