Blixkin Entopop roams the inside of the wall and has an unusual hobby. He collects bug parts, and you are just the halfling to help him out. Talk to him and ask him about the bug collection, and he will give you a list of six bug parts and a box to collect them in.

You say, 'Hail, Blixkin Entopop'

Blixkin Entopop says 'Hail, Yatri! My name is Blixkin Entopop. Have you seen the wonderful assortment of [spiders] and [beetles] that inhabit the thicket? I have quite an extensive [bug collection]. Be careful, though. I have seen many brave halflings fall beneath a [swarm] of clicking and hissing bugs.'

You say, 'Tell me about your collection.'

Blixkin Entopop says 'I collect all kinds of bugs but most of the ones I have are dead. [Ember] is the only exception. I just like them for their pretty colors and I admire how loyal they are to each other. If you want to, you can help me complete my collection and I will reward you for your time. Here is a list of the bug parts I need for my collection. If you [don't have a bug collection box] to collect the bug parts in, just ask me for one. I think I have some extras.'

You say, 'I don't have a box.'

Blixkin Entopop says 'Here you go. Just follow the instructions on the [list] so you know what to collect and how to prepare the collection for me.'

The six bug parts for this quest are:

1) Spiderling eyes,
2) spiderling silk,
3) Fire beetle eyes,
4) Giant scarab egg sac (note: although there are a few giant scarabs in Misty Thicket, they're rare. I suggest getting them somewhere else),
5) Giant fire beetle leg (these are found in the Western Karanas, on the queen klacknak and on the queen Kliknik in Qeynos who is a faster spawn),
6) Giant wasp wings (these are found in Misty Thicket; the only other place to get them is on Crookstinger in Lesser Faydark).

After collecting the items, hit combine and give the box back to him, along with the list he gave you, for your reward.

  • Give Blixkin Entopop the Complete Bug Collection and the list he gives you (if you need another, ask him for a list).

    Blixkin Entopop says 'Oh you have a complete collection for me?! Good! Good! Well done. But remember that I need the complete bug collection and you must return my want list before I can pay you.'
    Blixkin Entopop says 'Excellent! Good work! I knew you were the one for this job! Thank you so much! My collection just gets better and better each day. Here is your reward as I promised.'

    Your faction standing with Merchants of Rivervale got better.
    Your faction standing with Deeppockets got better.
    Your faction standing with Guardians of the Vale got better.
    Your faction standing with Mayor Gubbin got better.
    Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk Underground got worse.
    You gain experience!!
    You receive 7 silver from Blixkin Entopop.
    You receive 4 gold from Blixkin Entopop.

    Enchant Silver?
    # Jun 12 2001 at 2:33 PM Rating: Default
    Just wondering if anyone knows if this quest will still reward the Giant Fire Beetle Eye that enchants silver, or has this been nerfed?
    RE: Enchant Silver?
    # Oct 26 2001 at 5:04 PM Rating: Decent
    I believe that the Eye has been nerfer. Plus, after completing this quest about 20 times, I never recieved the Eye, even from the Queen in Qeynos, since she very rarely spawns in Misty, in an extreme rare way!

    I wanted to get the eye('s) for the sole purpose of working on my Jewelcrafting and being able to enchant silver as a Magician.

    One thing about the spider poison
    # Jun 08 2001 at 4:03 AM Rating: Default
    Well I will say this much if you cannot use the poison try selling it in E commons. With ten charges this should sell fairly quickly and you may get around 100pp for it. The sow 10charge potions sell for that much that I do know. No reason why someone cannot get that much for it. Ive never seen any sell before so I cant say for sure, but who knows give it a shot..I too am currently working on this quest, but being only lvl 4 I havent gotten too far with it yet. I have gotten the silk, fb eye, and sack (I bought from a vendor in Rivervale in the back of the clerics guild). Good luck to you all and happy hunting.

    This is a great quest, with lots of good items. I got the silvery bracelet the item wanted, without a massive time investment.

    firebeetles in WK also drop the legs.

    After 3 days completed this quest. Most of that time strolling between EC and Misty. (Bought 9 egg sacs at 1gp each)

    Went back to Misty, shouted every once in a while, ended up getting Wing and Leg.

    Combined, gave it back to Blixin... got a Silver Bracelet!

    I'm going to keep at it until Brace of Beetlekind... maybe get a few warbeads while I hunt. A nice quest all around;)

    If they were ever in Freeport, they are not now. Not even a Giant Wasp Wing to be found. However, the Egg Sacs are abundant from the mercahnts described before and otehrs. No problem there. So now, I'm wandering back to Misty Thicket with the thought of Trading Sacs for legs and wings...

    What I did
    # May 03 2001 at 4:25 PM Rating: Decent
    I just got done doing this quest and here's the info i found out.

    The giant wasps (the ones in Misty) seem to only spawn during the day.

    I found the giant scarab egg sacks from the Inn vendors in EC next to the WC zone line.

    I got my giant fire beetle legs off of the Queen in Qeynos. Hunt only the Prince and Princess and the Queen will spawn. When you kill her, 3 to 5 little fire beetles immediately spawn. She dropped the leg every time i killed her.

    I did this quest 3 times all in a row (i gathered as much as i could). The first time I got the Bracelet of Beetlekind.

    I gave the needed items to a friend for the 2nd one. She got the Potion of Poison Warding.

    The 3rd time i got a Potion of Poison Warding. So, i tried to use it. I tried right-clicking from inventory and nothing, i tried putting it into an equipment slot to use and nothing. So, i'm not for sure what good it is.

    That's all i found out.
    The queen spawns in misty
    # Apr 26 2001 at 7:49 PM Rating: Default
    Yup, the queen klacknak spawns in misty thicket near the domed huts. I was running through misty one night a few months ago when she spawned, it seems that if you were to kill enough of here klacknack brood (workers,fire beetles...etc.)she will spawn.

    This also seems be the case with the qeynos queen as well (she spawns inside the secret sewer entrance on the left side of the main gates in the newbie area, it's marked by green vines).

    The one thing thats strange about the queen is that before she dies, she'll release 5 hatchlings
    they'll try and attack you-but there very weak.

    The scarab sacs can usually be bought from the middle merchant in the hidden inn, it's located between the two orc camps in east commons for around 2-3 gold each.

    Good Luck..!.

    Need help finding the giant fire beetle legs? I found a unlimited supply! it was in March so it might have been changed. I was going on a trip, a trip over seas. So coming from Rivervale I stoped in FreePort and did some shopping. After delivering the mail from the human bard in Rivervale to the FreePort bard in the bard's guild, I started shopping.(letter gave about 8 gp)Right away I found a few sales people. One of them (I think in the back room , I lost my note) was selling GIANT FIRE BEETLE LEGS!!! for only 1-2gp!!! I only bought 6 in my excitement and started shopping again. along the way I found a giant wasp wing AND 2 giant scarab egg sacks. so it is good to check NPC's for items sold to them by unknowing travelers (or hurried ones) for about 1 gp. Especialy in ports!
    Bad Quest
    # Apr 09 2001 at 8:36 PM Rating: Decent
    After spending 4 days on this quest-1 on the spiderling eye and silk and fire beetle eye, 1 buying the giant scarab egg sac in Freeport and the giant fire beetle leg in Qeynos, and 2 killing giant wasps to get a wing, I was dissapointed to end up with a vial of spider venom. What's up with that?!? Does he just give random things or what? I was hoping to get a worthy reward for this quest-now I know all that time I spent trying to get all this stuff together, I could have barshed things in East and West Commons and gotten enough money to buy that stuff!!! I guess it just depends on what he gives you! Beware!
    Giant Wasp Wings
    # Feb 14 2001 at 11:44 AM Rating: Default
    Okay, does anyone know where to buy these? All the other items can be bought somewhere. It sounds like the wings are a rare item to find, just like giant scarab egg sacks. (Been killing scarabs in EC for a week and have found no sacks to date) But those can be bought for about 1 gold, so no big deal. If anyone finds out where you can buy these, please send me a /tell in EQ.

    This is an enjoyable quest, even though the rewards are small and it takes HOURS to get the giant wasp wings (I must have killed 90 wasps, and I still ended up buying them anyway). Don't make the mistake I did and try to use normal wasp wings: they dont work. I too only got spider venom as a 'prize' which I cant even use...
    Reward was vial of Poison
    # Dec 28 2000 at 7:16 PM Rating: Default
    I did this, it took forever to find the wasp wing, and even then I only completed the quest cause a nice person gave me the fire beetle legs... BUT I got a "vial of poison" as my reward... it is "a weak poison" one charge...

    What's it for? It isn't worth much to the local merchants... ideas?
    RE: Reward was vial of Poison
    # Jun 10 2001 at 3:49 PM Rating: Default
    The poison is used for rogue poisoning skill.
    RE: Reward was vial of Poison
    # Dec 29 2000 at 8:14 PM Rating: Default
    My mistook! It is the "Spider Poison" but it has no charges listed... and clearly states "Weak Poison" (as opposed to the one provided by our host)... and it won't stack...

    Still wondering what it's for...

    Thx!
    Giant Fire Beetle Eye?

    Has anyone got this item? Or is it a fake? Just wondering.

    It drops, quite common, but you need regular fire beetle eyes for this quest
    RE: Giant Fire Beetle Eye?
    # Feb 14 2001 at 11:46 AM Rating: Default
    It also has a very nice effect of enchant silver. If you get one and don't need it, just sell it to a non-enchanter jeweler. They'll probably pay quite a few pp for that.
    Wasp Wings
    # Nov 14 2000 at 4:52 AM Rating: Default
    Do they have to be GIANT wasp wings?
    The wings you get from the giant wasp drones in Greater Faydark are only "wasp wings", will they even work for this?
    Great Quest
    # Oct 04 2000 at 9:42 AM Rating: Default
    I cannot understand how you can say this isn't a worth while quest. The item's you get for this is GREAT. 14 charges of cure poison. As a Rogue i am going to be making poison soon and guess what that means i have to kill things that and poison you. I don't use the braclet to wear but i keep it on me at all times just in case i need it. Also the beetlekind braclet is very nice has desent AC and even give's some str. The RV bracelets don't give str. And you also get a resistance with it. The poison is great thing to get for free. While killing thing i alway keep stuff on me and i get the spider poison one less then i need to make. And the potion well if i am somewhere it has last's a desent amount of time and give a healthy boost in your poison resistance. I see no down side to this quest. I am lvl 22 and and i just went back and did it again so i could get my new Silver Braclet due to finally used up all my charges of cure poison.


    Here's the deal
    # Oct 01 2000 at 6:02 AM Rating: Decent
    Nice quest.
    The eyes aren't hard to come by and neither is the silk.
    As for the egg sack and wasp wings:I suggest shouting around in Misty for them. They arn't too hard to come by.
    The GIANT fire beetle legs however are a little tougher: they can be found on they queens, as discribed above, but they can also be found on GIANT beetles in West Karanas (who are a pretty low lvl commen spawn.
    This has been double-cheked and verified by myself.
    So happy questing everyone!
    RE: Here's the deal
    # Jan 22 2001 at 9:49 PM Rating: Default
    Oh yeah, I offered 3pp per wing for 3 hours, while killing all wasps in sight and on track.....

    result 1 wing!
    Just the Fire beetle leg
    # Sep 21 2000 at 1:56 AM Rating: Default
    This is a good quest. Nearly every item you need can be found in Misty Thicket. Wasp wings arn't so rare! i got one on the first wasp i killed. As for the Giant Fire beetle leg.... still looking for one.

    In Misty Thicket the Giant Fire Beetle leg only drops off the Queen Klaknak. To get her to spawn you have to kill all the Prince and Princess Klaknaks. However if you journey to Qeynos just to the left facing the North entrance there is a fake wall, a Queen Kliknik <sp> spawns there more frequently. This Queen also drops the Giant Fire Beetle leg useable for the Bug quest.

    They are by far the rarest. Out of 20+ kills, one wing :( Looks it will take me more than a full day to get the wing
    Scarab Legs
    # Sep 04 2000 at 7:18 PM Rating: Default
    I have tried to obtain giant FIRE beetle legs, but haven't had much luck. The giant scarab legs off of the giant scarab beetles in Misty won't cut it & the death beetles in Unrest drop giant scarab legs as well...when I combined the box I got the these items do not combine message. So I'm not sure that this is a good quest...time consuming and a weak reward aren't the qualities that I like in a quest, but hey, it's EQ! When don't they have fulfilling quests??!?!
    Scrrab eggs sacs
    # Jul 29 2000 at 7:20 PM Rating: Decent
    I had to get out to NRo to get one, but It was worth it. I guess I got lucky on the giant wasp wing I got one after Killing only 3 wasps.
    RE: Scrrab eggs sacs

    Another good place to get the egg sacs are in Butcherblock.

    They are had to get in Misty. After killing somewhere around 15 giant scarabs I finally got one.

    I've killed over 80 giant scarabs and still have not seen an egg sac. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or what, but I've gone from levels 8 - 14 killing giant scarabs at every opportunity, and am geting discouraged.
