This task is also available to Dark Reign under the same name "Lavaspinner Hunting."
Talontar gives this quest at amiable faction and can be obtained at level 55.
After the 9th spider, we received the yellow emote text. We sent the rogue around sneaking to find the sack. None of the spiders saw through sneak.
Sack was a pyramidal-looking structure about character height, yellowish orange and distinctly obvious from the other sacks lying around. It is clickable from a distance and returns a "you can't reach that." None of them spawn any spiders. They can also spawn right in a room just exited. None of the four spawned in the corridors - only in rooms or intersections.
The exit in this task is through the pile of rocks behind the main Broodmother spawn. No mobs are in that large cave in this task.
Received DR token and 15 ebon crystals at 55.

Norrath's Keepers: Lavaspinner Hunting
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
For an overview of the Dragons of Norrath expansion, see this wiki article. For an overview of progression, see quest entries for Norrath's Keepers and the Dark Reign. This is a non-progression task. It is a group mission (3-6 players) that begins with Boldger Bristlebeard (click for map image) in the Norrath's Keepers camp of the Lavastorm Mountains. Pre-requisites for requesting: - Minimum Level 55 - Minimum "amiable" faction with Norrath's Keepers Hail him to get a quest window pop-up. You have been assigned the task 'Lavaspinner Hunting'. We have received word that the Lavaspinner eggs possess magical powers that we can't allow to fall in the hands of the wrong person. We need someone to scout the lair and recover a few samples of their eggs. If you choose to accept this mission you will need to strike the lair fast and deadly. If the Lavaspinner queen is alerted you will certainly die. Note: This group mission scales to your group's level. The highest is 68+, outlined here. Touch the cave entrance to Lavaspinner's Lair 0/1 (The Broodlands) This is marked on your compass (far southern instanced entrance). Kill 25 Lavaspinners 0/25 (Lavaspinner's Lair) Recover samples of cracked lavaspinner eggs in Lavaspinners's Lair 0/3 (Lavaspinner's Lair) Recover a sample of pristine lavaspinner egg in Lavaspinner's Lair 0/1 (Lavaspinner's Lair) As you kill spiders in the zone, you'll see an emote, signaling the spawn of "unhatched lavaspinner eggs": The ground shakes slightly, and a loud crack and thud can be heard echoing through the tunnels. These eggs appear in the dead-end tunnels and in the central cavern (the second-largest cavern other than Volkara's cavern). Upon finishing the task, you see: The egg sacks have been collected! Thank you for your efforts to further our research, you may have saved the lives of many people. Rewards: Up to 35 Radiant Crystals (number varies according to group's level) 1x "Norrath's Keepers Token" (faction turn-in item) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Did this yesterday with 2 80 rogues. (had a 70 something bot ranger to get the task)
It appears the only other two enemies in this task besides the Lavaspinner eggs are "an elder lavaspinner" and "a reclusive lavaspinner" Their level varies depending on the task - it is 63 in the <68 avg task, and it is level 68 in the >68 avg task.
So 63-68 is the right range.
So 63-68 is the right range.
I just checked out old Bristlebeard, and he did not offer this task. Maybe because I have not yet completed tier 1 of the progression? Or has the task been removed?

The tak is offered...you apparently do not have enough faction to get it from him. Boldger offers the <68 avg level version and the >68 avg level version as I have done both today. I am about to do another and he still has it :p Go get some faction...it is not a first tier completion thing, because I only recently finished my first tier and have been requesting and doing (6-boxing) this mission for months now.

Was just done with a group of 70's, make up was SK/Cleric/Wizard/Rouge/2 Druid's. Mobs were only hitting around mabye 600 and I don't have all the DoDh def. aa's complete and around 10.5k hp and 1825 ac.
Got 15 eyes one mission and 20 eyes the other 2 times we did this today. So 4-5 missions per person that needs to do the collect 80 eyes. Can do it with 3 people, healer tank and enchanter for slow and crowd control on the few double or triple pulls. Started that way and got up to 6 which knocked the mission time down to about 1 hour.

Did this quest tonight with 5 people all level 70. Mobs in the zone were either "a reclusive lavaspinner" or "an elder lavaspinner". Both seemed to be warrior types, no casters. All mobs were dark blue to us probably around 67-68. None of them summoned or had any special abilites. Killing them gave negative faction hits to Volkara's Brood and Volkara.
Egg spawns: We killed 10 mobs and received an emote "The ground shakes slightly, and a loud crack and thud can be heard echoing through the tunnels." One of the egg sacs spawned with a cracked lavaspinner egg. Got it and kept killing. We killed ten more and didn't get an emote. However after running around invised found another egg sac with yet another cracked lavaspinner egg. Not sure when it spawned. Killed about 6 more and got the emote a sac had spawned. Found it and got the last a cracked lavaspinner egg. We had to kill about 16 more spiders for a grand total of 41 spiders in order to spawn the last egg sac that contained the pristine lavaspinner egg. By the way opening the egg sacs count toward your 25 kills of lavaspinners.
After the mission we received the message: The egg sacks have been collected! Thank you for your efforts to further our research, you may have saved the lives of many people.
Each person received a Norrath's Keeper Token and 35 radiant crystals.

This was the first DoN I did 3 boxing on 2 comps, and its fairly easy now that I know what to do. Kill mobs tell you get the yellow text emote saying:
"The ground shakes slightly, and a loud crack and thud can be heard echoing through the tunnels."
This is your que that the pile of eggsacks (forget exact name) has spawned somewhere in the zone. The pile is about the size of a human model in hieght and has dark egg things and webs around it cons LIGHT blue to lvl 70, you must use inspect then open ability and then loot item.
I got 3 cracked then the pristine not sure if I got lucky or it always happens like that. reward was 35 crystals for 3 lvl 70's, mobs hit 685 max on me with 7% shielding.
**EDIT** little more info you get the emote I think after you kill a certain amount of mobs and the emote comes after a kill so kill mobs. If you pull from the right side as you zone in being careful of the one or 2 wanderers you can get all single pulls, about 10 until you will have to pull 2+ at a time I thnk it takes about 8-15 mobs to get the emote so the kill 25 is pretty trivial. Mobs do respawn, didnt time it but would guess about 20-25min.

I killed about 34 spiders, but I never saw an egg case. There must be some trick to this that I can't figure out, but I will not go back to try it again...
I did invis and checked out every nook and crany several times, no eggs.

I encountered the same situation the first time I did this one. I was soloing it, and after getting the first three cracked Lavaspinner eggs decided to slow down and do some laundry while waiting for a few respawn singles. I got the last dozen or so of the 25 at a slow pace, but saw no more messages about "the ground shakes slightly" indicating a nest spawned.
After rereading the mission text, I suspected the clue is in "You will need to strike the lair fast and deadly." So I started killing faster - and killing spiders at spawn points I'd skipped before. Sure enough, after a few kills like that, the final nest spawned.
I'm not sure whether it was the faster kill rate or the different spawns, but I plan to experiment to find out.

Be careful when you zone in; a wanderer does path through the zone in area. Also, the zone out is not in the same place as where you zone in.
The kill step is self-explanatory; the whole zone is nothing but spiders. To complete the other two steps, you need to find an "unhatched lava spinner eggs" -- an object much like an LDoN chest. It looks like a big pile of webbing and eggs. You cannot track it until you're almost in visible range. If you inspect it, you will see one of the following.
This pile of lavaspinner egg sacks are held together by a molten web. You notice some of the eggs have been cracked open.
This pile of lavaspinner egg sacks are held together by a molten web. You can't help but notice their pristine condition.
Open it for and loot either "Cracked Lavaspinner Egg" or "Pristine Lavaspinner Egg", respectively, to complete the last steps. You need three of the Cracked eggs and one of the Pristine.
Our instance was the level 68+ version, and the reward was 35 crystals. However, we did it in June, so the reward might have been dropped since then.

Can this task be obtained with just two in a group, or does it require a full group?
This task should be a doable task without having a full party. I wish they made more tasks like this. So many times it takes an act of congress to get a group formed to go on a DoN.

This is an easy quest if you don't have a big tank. There's no boss mobs and the egg cases spawn one at a time after you kill a few. You can safely invis throughout this whole task.
