Mounted Kubaza Beetle Head

Description:

A new pocket of high grade minerals has been located on the Burning Plains. The Mustafar Mining Company wants to get their crews into that area and extract those resources. The problem is that the pocket is near a kubaza beetle nest, and kubaza beetles are extremely aggressive when defending their nests. The company needs that nest of beetles eliminated before they can send their miners in. They have supplied you with a timed charge that you will need to drop into the nests.

Recommended combat levels: 75 and higher

Talk to Foreman Donko Jen (/way 446 -1173) in the Mensix Mining Facility on Mustafar to start the quest.

Conversation with Foreman Donko Jen[]

Foreman Donko Jen: You must be that new off-world miner the company said was coming. Good to have you onboard and not a moment too soon. We have a job that needs your immediate attention.
PC: Uhhh...wait a min...
Foreman Donko Jen: I don't know how they did things in your previous crew, but on this crew, when I speak, you listen. We have found a new vein of mentchal, and it is a rich one. The problem is that there are four nests of those nasty kubaza beetles ringing the camp we set up to mine it. Before we can start our drilling, those nests needs to be cleaned up.
PC: I am not who...
Foreman Donko Jen: All you need to do is to take one of these charges and drop it into the mouth of each of the nests. Be careful because once you start messing with the nests, I am sure the kubaza soldiers will show up...they always do. Make sure you kill any of them that get out of the nests or they will just rebuild them. With your qualifications, this job should be no problem at all. Well, don't just stand there. Get moving.
PC: I don't know how...
Foreman Donko Jen: No need to be modest. Just get out there, blow up those nests, and kill any soldiers that get out. We can discuss your permanent position when you get back. Good luck.

Travel to the Mining Camp[]

Travel to the mining camp. There are several nests surrounding the camp that need to be destroyed. You can expect that the kubaza beetles will fiercely defend their nests.

Destroy the Four Kubaza Beetle Nests[]

Donko Jen needs you to place the charges on each of the kubaza beetle nests that surround his mining camp. He warned you that the beetles will send out their soldiers to defend the nests and that they need all be killed or they will rebuild the nests.

Destroy Kubaza Beetle Nest[]

Find one of the nests that surround the miner's camp and place a charge on it. Once the charge is set, move away from the nest, or you might be caught in the blast. Be very careful, because this will really rile up the kubaza beetle soldiers, and you should expect to be attacked.

Outside the camp you will find 4 beetle lairs, use the radial menu to place charges.

Defeat Kubaza Soldier Beetles[]

You must kill any of the kubaza soldier beetles that manage to escape the blast. If you do not, they will rebuild the nest.

Destruction of a lair will spawn 5 Plains Kubaza Beetle Soldiers (CL 77).

Clean up Any Remaining Kubaza Beetles[]

The nests are destroyed but there is a chance that some of the beetles managed to get out. You must kill any remaining beetles in the area to avoid them being able to rebuild their nests.

Kill 5-6 Kubaza Soldier Beetles (CL80) around the area.

Return to Donko Jen[]

Return to Donko Jen and report that the nest has been destroyed.

Conversation with Foreman Donko Jen[]

Foreman Donko Jen: The reports just came in. Nicely done. You have proven that you will be a fine addition to our team.
PC: I don't work for the company.
Foreman Donko Jen: Yes, I think that with you around, we will have the finest crew in the whole company. ...Did you just say that you do not work for the company?
PC: That is what I have been trying to tell you.
Foreman Donko Jen: Hmmm...well, maybe you should keep this under wraps. Having you go out and take care of that nest wasn't exactly legit, according to company bylaws. In fact, take this as payment for a job well done.
