Guide awaiting review

1

Locate Festering Maggots

The Festering Maggot shares spawn spots with other critters in its area. It does NOT appear as a secondary pet in other Eastern Plaguelands pet battles, so you must find and engage it directly in the wild.

2

Force Spawns By Clearing

If you need a rare-quality Festering Maggot, kill all other critters in the area rather than simply flying around, as clearing the surrounding critters causes maggots to spawn significantly more often.

3

Identify The Correct Pet

The Festering Maggot is the white variety of maggot rather than the tan variety, and makes a squishy glooping sound when clicked. Even at Uncommon quality it has a large HP pool, so an Uncommon capture is still serviceable if a rare proves elusive.

Tips

  • The Festering Maggot is an H/H breed type, giving it notably high health — base stats at rare level 25 are 1400 HP, 260 Power, and 260 Speed.
