Guild Wars 2 – Help Research Irkz research skale poison

“Set traps for skale, bring skale oil and meal remains to Irkz and help his researchers stay safe.”

Head for the Duskrend Overlook Waypoint. Turn to the South from there and head down to the Southeastern bank of Ascalon Basin. There you will find Researcher Irkz. Talk with the little asura to learn more about what he is up to in this area:
Researcher Irkz: “I'm researching skale poison and I need samples, lots of samples! Care to assist me?”
Hero: “How can I assist?”
Irkz: “I mentioned samples, didn't I? Also, set the traps I've laid out. Oh, and help any of my assistants you encounter.”
Hero A) “Samples of what?”
Irkz A) “Let's see: I need oil sacs, eggs and if you run across any of their food stores, I'll take whatever you find.”
Hero B) “What about these traps?”
Irkz  B) “Certain stages of my research require live specimens, so I've laid many traps. I can always use more specimens!”A
Hero C) “Assistants?”
Irkz C) “yes, well, the charr have kindly agreed to assist me and my team. I'm not sure where they've gotten off to, though ...”

Start heading off to the West, toward Ascalon Basin. Here you will find quite the collection of skales. As you fight through the skales and kill them you will find Oily Skale Sacs. These can be collected for some credit and turned in for more.

As you head down the slope keep an eye out for Skale Traps. They will appear infrequently, but enough that it is viable to complete the quest with them. Just approach and interact with them to set them. Just as you will wander the shallows of the basin looking for the traps you will find Iron Legion Engineers floating around that are downed. Do what you can to help them get back on their feet.

As you head along the banks of the basin, look around for nests. Inside those you will find up to 3 eggs inside. Collect them and then return to Researcher Irkz. You will only gain credit when you turn them into him.

When the renown quest is complete you will get the letter, “I am in Your Debt” with 86 copper:
“Salutations,

“You will be happy to know that my research is proceeding apaces, thanks in no small part to your timely assistance. The specimens which you procured have proven invaluble as I seek to produce the ultimate skale poison. It is rare to make the acquientance of a soldier who has such appreciation for the value of research that they are willing to risk their lives to further its pursuit.

“Your a good egg – The Highly Respected and Accomplished Researcher Irkz”
