Objectives
Dwarfowitz at the Sha'tari Base Camp in the Bone Wastes wants you to recover Enormous Bone Worm Organs.
He wants his Fumper back too.
Enormous Bone Worm Organs
Fumper (Provided)
Description
I was right! These carcasses you brought me belong to the baby bone worms. Do you know what that means? It means that somewhere out there is a big one! I think we can get it to come out if we can provide the right kind of food. Let's see... something big! Yes!
I remember seeing clefthooves east of here on the other side of the Bone Wastes. Get out there and kill a clefthoof. Once it's dead, use the drums. Hopefully the big one will come up to feed. If you manage to kill it, bring me its organs!
Update
Return to Dwarfowitz at The Bone Wastes in Terokkar Forest.
Progress
Take a friend with you!
Completion
Amazing! Look at this stuff! The thing-a-ma-whatever has some sort of dust inside its whatcha-ma-bobber. Bah! I won't bore you with all this scientific jargon. I did manage to pull a few teeth from the little ones to make these incredibly sharp knives. Want one?

This quest can be soloed. Below is a good strategy for doing it solo.
- First, go to the southeastern most tunnel entrances the the dome. You'll be able to see the clefthoof from the entrance.
- Second, pick 1 unlucky victim and pull him just close enough to the entrance where the white text flashes on the screen of where you are. NOTE: you must be "in" the bonewastes to activate the drum however the corpse of the clefthoof can be slightly closer to the tunnel.
- Third, Buff, summon the worm, hit it once, then run like hell to the tunnel and stand there just out of line of sight of the worm
- Fourth (the trick), KEEP AGRO, just because you have those little crossed swords doesn't me you're in combat. What you need to do and, how hard it is, is based on your class
- Casters/hunters: Rank 1 ranged spell/attack or dot do this atleast once every 30seconds to keep agro
- Melee: Ranged attack every 30seconds
- Pally: step out from behind the corner and let the worm shoot you, hide and heal, rinse and repeat.
- When done you should be able loot the corpse and laugh that you solo'd the worm

Pally: stepp out from behind the corner and let the worm shoot you, hide and heal, rinse and repeat. I got bored so i ran up when he was burrowing and concecrated just so that i had agro at all times. NOTE: Divine Prot. is only bubble that works because his spit is magic based attack.
When done you should be able loot the corpse and laugh that you solo'd the worm :D

side notes: he melee hits for 600-1000 on a lvl 66plate wearer and the spit hits for 700-1200

I pulled the Mob then feigned death (hunter). waited 20 seconds. ressed pet. Then killed the mob by healing the pet / autoshot the mob untill time ran out. Easy kill got the loot.

This does work.
The Enormous Bone Worm (and the trash mobs if you are unlucky) will die 2 mins after you bang the drum.
Have a timer running and bang the drum take note of when 2 mins will be up and at 1 minute and 55 Secs pop your head around and use a spell or if you a melee fire off an arrow or put your self in combat anyway you can before 2 mins are up.
Loot.
1) Try to get him to spawn as close as possible to the ramp that leads down to the center circle of Auch.
2) Hit him a couple times and then make your way towards that ramp. Make sure to stop and smack him a few times on the way if it is a long ways.
3) Once at the ramp, run down it and around the corner (out of line of sight). After a few seconds the mob just dies on his own and you can go loot him.
This was written by warfall on Thottbot and it really works.

Second time I tried he appeared at 1st try.
------------------------------------------------
So the suspect tells me, "I am innocent!"
And I respond: "Glad to hear it, for in this world, innocence is a crime... and it's the guilty ones like me who form the police."
other ways is to use your pet and heal it like mad, also watching aggro :) and prepare for a LOOONG fight.
First u need to kill a clefthoof(big brown thing) then use the drum! Use it near the elite and he will help you.. used a pot and healtstone, if i shouldnt i would be dead.. he had siphonlife and i drain lifed him all the time.. so pot and healthstone for lock is nice:D
im an hunter 65 (marks) and did it in one shot alone...
just healed my pet all the time but he did not die
Actually doing what I'm always saying, I healed something to death. Just stood there for 3 minutes spamming flash heal.
- There's a 62 Elite Questgiver at 49,76 (southeastern bonewastes) with clefthoof's near him. Hell help you with the fight if you summon near him.
- Hai'shulud is on a timer, approx 2 minutes, after that time he dies.
- Yes its soloable I did it as a 66 huter but afterwards (with the above advice) a 64 Hunter did it
Essentially hit him a few times, let the 62 elite take him, let the elite die (I didnt do this first time and couldnt loot the mob later), then concentrate on staying alive.
how it went:
loc[49.77]
tried with one 65lvl hunter to spawn it for about an hour - pulled clefthhoof by clefthoof near NPC, killed and use drums on it. no success. only 3-4 sand gnomes, or 3-4 warms [ those hit damn hard ~ 1000 dmg - i dont think doable in solo]
after the hunter left..
just for fun pulled one mob again, used drums - and prayed for that elite.
and then it started..
that mob is under 30000 hp, with average BR - 500.
Beared him and aggroed untill my life got 30% then stopped to aggro, and the NPC took it on him. Healed up to 100% turned again [ while doing that NPC got about 15 % life :]. Aggroed again and finished with 15% of life. the feeling was wonderfull :] jumped from my chair.
no pots, not scrolls. just tactics.
good luck
of course i went to the guard for some assistance
in all honestly i used up a soulstone on him, but! got the shiny dagger
;)
Wonderful to see Dune-based quests. Chani, Reverend Mother, Mua'dib. Oustanding.
Even so, I had great difficulty with this quest as a level 65 warrior with green/blue equipment. I used a potion and popped Retaliation but I still won with a mere smidgen of health. I dunno what I'm gonna do with this dagger, but I'm keeping it as a momento of this crappy, crappy quest. :-/

On the bright side ... it was a quest ... it was fairly quick ... and it did give xp.
:P

It took more than 10 tries before he spawned. In a few of those tries the smaller worms got bugged - they totally disappeared but kept casting the 1000+dmg spell on us - it was obviously very annoying and killed us a couple of times.

worms were bugged
2nd try gave us some bugged worms..was kinda annoying
Do your self a favor and ask a hunter to help with the summons. If the gnomes appear, FD will make them vanish. If non elite worms spawn, FD will allow you to walk away without kill'n them.
Good luck.
My group tried it this way several times: three regular worms emerged each time. I don't think there's any trick to getting him appear, you either get lucky or you don't.
I have to agree with everyone on this page that this quest is indeed annoying, and the non-elite worms that show up, bugged. They are capable of shooting their ranged Poison attacks from below ground and at insane distances: each of these poison hits can easily deal more than 1k damage regardless of your armor type. With three of them hitting the players with that kind of damage every other second, you may want to pack yourself with a full group and a whole lot of patience. And that is before you actually even get to the elite worm.

It doesn't hit very hard and as a 70 holy/disc priest a shield + renew every 15 seconds kept me at full health. After about 2 minutes, with the worm at 60% health and me at 80% mana, the worm abruptly dropped dead. If you're a healer I wouldn't waste any mana on harming the worm, just keep yourself alive and outlast it.
Conditioner is better, it leaves the hair silky and smooth.

(")_(") AHHHH EVIL BUNNY paste him in ur profile to help him achieve world domination!!!!
duo'd it with another rogue (68 and 66), was a fun fight, got us both to 10% (after pots and vanish/bandages) :)
The fact that the boss does not spawn right away is not a bug. Keep trying to pound that drum and he will eventually spawn.
