He is around the S in Stoneplow. Took me forever to find him as wow had him at the wrong location.

When doing this quest, you can go and find a group of friendly NPC's fighting the Ik'thalliks and just aoe near them to get the kills on the nearby Ik'thalliks. Even if one of the Ik'thalliks are less than quarter of their maximum health, if you can quickly damage them you will get the kill!

Like lordcanyon said, you need to complete the chain ending with Warn Stoneplow in Krasarang Wilds.

Comment by skadimundr

I wasn't able to get credit from killing the mobs the NPCs were attacking, and I kept aggroing way too many mantids and dying. Near the southern edge of the town (16.6, 60) there's a field with several mantids which can be engaged and pulled away from the others using throw or some other ranged pull/attack.

Another spot at 15, 55 for easy kills NPC vs Mob action. Tag and collect.

You can also kite the Sha's that come from the commanders to these NPC spots and they will attack it.

The Swarm Begins

Slay 15 Ik'thik Warriors or Ik'thik Infestors.

Ik'thallik Infestor or Warrior slain (15) (1)

Description

Without the wall to protect us, we barely stand a chance. If you hadn't gathered so many people to help us, we wouldn't have a prayer.

Check in with Captain Oakenshield - he should be up near the break in the wall. Kill as many mantid as you can on the way there.

If we win, we win. If we lose, we go down fighting. For Pandaria!
