Siesbarg is awarded from the quest Consolation Flies which is the final in a 6 quest chain. The quest chain starts with the item Vial of Tka'ktath's Blood which drops from the rare Tka'ktath Tka'ktath found at 62, 66 in Azj-Kahet, near the City of Threads.

This rare seems to have quite a long respawn timer and a message will pop up when its spawning "The shadow of a hungering beast moves over the city".

The drop chance for the blood appears to be high, there doesn't seem to be any prerequisites for it to drop, perhaps level 78 which the quest item currently states it need .

It is a difficult rare to solo with a daily lockout, currently per character but that may change to per warband.

One you have the blood you'll be sent to the City of Threads to hand it in, you'll then be given the quest Those Are Chitin Words which requires you to gather 1500 Nerubian Chitin, these drop from most spider/nerubian type mobs. I farmed this in the Ara Kara dungeon with followers or also the Faithful of Zirix in Isle of Dorn to double dip on the Crackling Shard that can drop in that zone.

The next quest will be Venom? More Like Get 'Em which requires you to get 1000 Nerubian Venom, this dropped from less of the nerubian types, I continued to farm the Faithful of Zirix for this step.

Once done the next quest will be A Small Ocean's Worth of Blood which requires you to get 500 Nerubian Blood, this was extremely limited, it only comes from Skyrazors or Ascended Nerubians. The only ok spot I found was The Burrows within the center of The City of Threads.

Once you've done all of this you'll have a short RP quest to do and the next quest will be Consolation Flies which awards the mount.

This was rough solo but once people get mob farm groups on the go it should speed up considerably

Comment by DrSkittle

Got the mount today. I did this entirely solo as a Havoc/Vengeance DH at 568 ilvl

First quest is gathering 1500 Nerubian Chitin. I did this north of The Weaver's Lair in Azj-Kahet in the Siegehold area where the Spiral Weave delve is (not inside the delve, just explaining the area). This took about 2 hours of farming these in Havoc doing roughly 800k dps per pull (trying to pull atleast 10 mobs). Respawns were generous and I never really stopped, I was also the only one doing the farm. All mobs drop this besides the humanoid looking guards, but I also got a ton of greens/blues from pulling mobs like crazy so I pulled everything.

Once done with that, you'll get a new quest for gathering 1000 Nerubian Venom. I went to the exact same area and did the same pulls. All these mobs still drop the venom except for the flying bats/beast-looking armadillos. I pulled exactly the same though due to gathering greens/blues. This took a little longer as less mobs dropped the Venom, around 2.5 hours.

Last quest is 500 Nerubian blood. This is where I went Vengeance and solo-farmed the Ara-Kara dungeon on Normal. I timed myself doing the dungeon, with no wipes it took about 25minutes and I got on average 100 blood. So, total was slightly above 2 hours. I pulled every mob in the dungeon for blues/greens and most mobs will drop the blood. You can queue for this dungeon also, but I was getting only 20 blood per run when I ran with a group. Def be careful of the mobs, they can be a little spooky, but overall it's not too difficult to solo.

Turn this last quest in and do a little RP quest to get Siesgard! Overall, it took my about 8 hours with mistakes, figuring out pulls, etc. Enjoy the mount ^_^.

Hit me up in whispers if you guys have any questions. DrSkittles-Stormrage.

If you're lower geared, focus on the Ara-Kara and City of Threads dungeons. Use the follower dungeon option, you can sit back and watch some movies on a second screen if you have one, and let the follower AI do the work. It took the longest to get the 1,500 Chitin. For that, I used Ara-Kara, leaving after killing all the mobs before the second boss. For the 1,000 Nerubian Venom, I did it in the City of Threads dungeon since it's filled with Nerubians (Ara-Kara has mostly spiders.) It took me 19 runs; I left after killing all the mobs before the first boss, though you could kill him for valor stones or gear. For the final quest, I did full Ara-Kara runs. I got about 100 Nerubian Blood per run.

I also tried the area near the delve, as DrSkittle suggested above, but it took too long for me as a lower-geared character without the survivability of a Demon Hunter.

Comment by Sushicat

FOR LAST STEP // NERUBIAN BLOOD (500)
In my experience I wasted too much time following the advice of "Go into dungeons solo/with troops"
My most effective method to get 270 in 30-40 minutes: Go to coordinates 65.02 12.71 where we will find an Elite zone, where the Faerin side quests take place, here it is as if all the Elites had a 100% drop of Nerubian Blood, I simply made a farming party although alone with Hunter BM 560 I was able to kill them without problem

Comment by Tikiya

Seems like the hyperspawn at 45,28 59,09 below Dorngogal (The Opalcreg) has been stealth nerfed. It barely drops any chitin now

Comment by TrollmeisterXD

Just my quick notes on Siesbarg

It is a mount which is rewarded after a quest-chain. The starter-item Vial of Tka'ktath's Blood is dropped by Tka'ktath in Azj-Kahet on top of a big Platform.

/way #2255 63 66 Tka'ktath

Tka'ktath is quite tanky, has a long respawn and I'd recommend doing him in a group, everyone in the group, even a Raid can loot the item it is personal loot.
So if it is up help your fellow grinders out and open a Custom Group with "Tka'ktath UP" and get as many people in as possible.

After acquiring the Questitem it will send you to Shalba. IMPORTANT: The NPC will only talk to you once you have reached Renown 4 with The Severed Threads (It might be Renown or a specific Main Story Point).

/way #2213 45.2 13.6 Shalba
Quest 1: Those Are Chitin Words
I recommend going to the Isle of Dorn and grind the Nerub there they can hyperspawn and have a chance to drop Crackling Shard. This spot is best used in a group.
/way #2248 45 59 Nerubian Spawn
Grind 1500 Nerubian Chitin and get back to Shalba.

Some commenters also recommended going Solo-Follower dungeons as an alternative for the Dorn-Groupfarm.

Quest 2: Venom? More Like Get 'Em
Same procedure as Quest 1, just grind 1000 Nerubian Venom and get back to Shalba.

Someone recommended farming Khak'ik&Rhak'ik for this step it is a Rare Duo. The drop-rate is supposed to be quite high, and they are soloable.
/way #2255 44.0 30.4 Khak'ik & Rhak'ik

Quest 3: A Small Ocean's Worth of Blood
This one was a bit trickier to grind, you need 500 Nerubian Blood, which only drop from Ascended Nerubians and Skyrazors. I tested multiple strategies, most ended up being very slow (Northern Azj-Kahet, in the City of Threads, Dungeonfinder).
The by FAR best strategy was doing Ara-Kara, City of Echoes as a Solo-FOLLOWER Dungeon, kill all the mobs you can find it should yield you between 50-120 Nerubian Blood per run.

After you collected the items, bring them back to Shalba, after that you will have a short walk behind their house and get your beautiful mount!

I hope I was able to help you out with this awesome Mount!

Please correct me if I did any mistakes or you have better proposals.

Comment by Elfwen

At the moment this mount is not recharging Vigor properly. There is no animation when he speeds up, vigor is charging very slowly and he is flying slower than my other mounts... Hopefully Blizz fixes this..

Comment by IMissThottbot

For those wondering, no, you can't run back to old Nerubian content like Azjol-Nerub to grab the chitin. I figured it was worth a shot!

Comment by DaRealBreezie

I've found the best spot to farm the chitins and vials of venom is in a hyperspawn cave by the bees at 75.09, 38.88. I spent 4 hours getting just the 1500 chitins there and am currently acquiring the the venoms. be sure to check custom lfg for a group or make your own. It makes things move so much faster. Happy hunting!

ps i also gained 4 crackling shards while in here in that 4 hours.

Comment by Lindseynk

Is the mount really going away and I need to do the quest line before tuesday

Comment by V3rtige

For some unknow reasons, I have less FPS while riding this mount.

Comment by FeiTheDruid

For those facing the daunting task of farmin all the Nerubian Chitin, Nerubian Venom and Nerubian blood i suggest the following:

#1 Follower dungeon for Nerubian Chitin, Tag everything up until the second boss, leave and repeat. (Even the yellows in this instance drop Chitin, tag em all)

#2 For the Venom, join a group farming in the cave in Isle of Dorn, near the meadery. (only Nerubian's drop it, the half spider folk so its quicker with the farm groups)

#3 back to follower dungeon and repeat for #1 (much higher drop rate from elites so dg is better) except run the full dg +/- the last boss if you want the valorstones.

First run for #3: 91
Second run for #3: 104
Third run for #3: 101
Fourth run for #3: 98
Fifth run for #3: 106

Comment by kittenonthekeys

Farmed Siesbarg with a couple of friends - We farmed the first 2 steps Chitin and Venom in the Isle of Dorn cave (75.38), for a chance to get Crackling shards also, to get Alunira. Between 1500 chitin, 1000 venom and the Soaring Meaderbee farming, we got 6-8 crackling shards each also.

For the last step of farming the blood, we started with the Ara-Kara, City of Echoes, as follower dungeon, but 2 people together, cleared all mobs (Except the small ones in the start) and got around 25 blood each. We then split up and did the follower dungeons alone, and got between 70-90 shards pr run.

Happy farming people :)

Comment by PullonmyHots

Best way to do this is farm the Chitin and Venom in the Isle of Dorn cave (75.38), for a chance to get Crackling shards then farm the bloods in arathi nothern zone in azj-kahet

Comment by Shytoos

Fastest way to farm this is to clear the entire area before the first boss in City of Threads (follower dungeon), then leave and repeat.
Once you find out the pathing that works best for you, it will take about 6-7 minutes for you to get (depending on your actual quest):

x70-80 Nerubian Chitins or
x53 Nerubian Venoms or
x30-35 Nerubian Bloods.

Repeating this route a little less than 60 times will complete the entire questline.
Don't even bother killing the boss, unless you want the x10 Valorstones.

Farming the Nerubian Bloods with a group in Azj-Kahet (/way #2255 65 10) may be about 50% faster than running the dungeon, only if you've got a good group and if the zone is not occupied yet, but will require more efforts and focus.

Comment by Pinkpaw

I want to give my advice on the farm of this mount and then especially the last part "A small ocean's worth of blood". If you like i happen to get this quest on a character that is not an ace in the run and aggro everything and survive game then this is a good tip for you.
I tried all the different advices given here and none of them was very speedy or efficent if you are like me a frail rogue. I have alot of dmg but not so sturdy leather. So i went follower dungeon (Ara-kara), just like many have suggested.
But what i did was i turned off to lead the dungeon and let Capitan Garrick lead. Then i ran ahed of him pulling mobs cus he has to come save me. Him and the follower healer is the MVP of this grind.

Also worth mentioning is that i only killed up to the second boss. The rest of the dungeon was more labor intensive then its worth.

Comment by Grendanm

I was in a tka'ktath waiting room group and the leader there waited 12 hours for it to spawn eventually he gave up and it truly never spawned. Even servers reset without it spawning

Comment by Nerothos

Got mine today on 2nd attempt. Gotta farm 1500 chiters first and then 1000 venom :) then small rp quest and you get the mount.

Comment by Deadvenom

Blizz should let me sell this if I hate myself enough to grind it twice

Comment by Inhio

Personally I'd suggest just grabbing the quest and letting it cook by itself in your quest log. Unless for whatever you reason you absolutely HAVE to get this mount NOW, you can just passively grind it over time since you're bound to kill thousands of nerubians before the end of the season/expansion anyways.

Comment by Wolfyw

the wings on this guy are a clipping nightmare when grounded, no idea how blizzard let it get in

Comment by derag0th

For Nerubian Chitin part, a cave located at /way 71.80 57.50 is full of spiders that hyperspawn. Each of these drops Chitin and they are ~1.2m health.
There is a quest called ...And Now I'm Arachnophobic that is inside that cave and while you are doing it you can get the Nerubian Chitin.

The drop rate is not 100%, but somewhere around 50%. On the other hand Gloom Chitin is 100% drop for the skinners.

Comment by Apollo305

I created a wowhead account to add my first comment since playing for over 15 years.

I downed Tka'ktath twice and the quest didn't drop. Upon further investigation I found out **YOU MUST BE MIN LEVEL 78**

Did not see this noted anywhere so had to share so people don't waste 5hrs per spawn to find out like I did. Happy hunting -Apollö (Burning Blade)
