I got this drop of a stone hive worker in Rivervale outside the Tower of the Drafling - it is a body drop and drops on grey mobs - but is scarce.
Starter is called Deadly Stinger and is no-trade.
I had to kill 5 stone hive guardians (for stingers) and 3 bixies (for hairs) - the guardians outside the tower didn't update, but the ones inside the Tower of the Drafling did. Every kill updates for guardians and bixies.
Then I had to get a location update from the Windowsill Guard Post - I was already there as it's the where the third bixie in is normally found - so I had to run out of the room and come back in to get the update.
Then 2 more bixies for hairs - again every kill updates.
Then I needed 4 kills for venom. The venomguards around the tracks beyond the overseer's room update this - there are normally 4, in two pairs either side of the tap room (and 2 just beyond it if some have been cleared).
Quest reward is automatic - no requirement to examine the starter item (unfortunately).
Reward is 'Deadly Stinger' One handed dagger - Min level 39 : +7 Str +9 Agi +30 Health +20 Power - 35.2 rating. Mage, Scout, Berserker or Guardian.
The quest starter is removed from your inventory on completion - with no message about loosing it!

This is no "Only-Chest"-Drop. Today I looted it as a lvl 70 Shadowknight from the dead body of a "stoneswarm worker".

What Nisha wrote is accurate as of this date with the quest. You do not have to slay royal bixie sentinels or bixie lieutenants.

You DO NOT need to kill bixie lieutenants to get crossguard. Its an auto-update when you go into the room at the top of the map, the one that looks "divided in half".

I did this quest today, just after the installation of LU21, and found a few differences/changes to this quest. “A Metal Stinger” dropped for me off one of a group of 10 Young Hive Bees and a single Stone Hive Nursemaid in the chamber with two large green pillars at +75, +27, -75.
After examining A Metal Stinger, you are asked to get 4 stingers from Stone Hive Guardians. I got mine from the group of four relatively easy (L43 Heroic, no arrows) Stone Hive Guardians that can always be found in the zone-in chamber as you enter the Tower of the Drafling. I received an update for every kill. You also need two hairs from bixies. It seems any bixies will do--I killed the first two Bixie Protectors I found (-182, +82, +50) and received both hairs.
After inspecting the stinger again, you are told you need a crossbar (i.e., a crossguard), which can be had by simply running into the large chamber called Windowsill Guard Post (-40, +50, -135). You are also told to find 2 more bixie hairs (again, apparently any 2 bixies will do).
After inspecting the stinger again, you are asked to find 4 vials of venom for the weapon. These can be found 2 pairs of Bixie Venomguards located on the lower level, just before the huge chamber where the enormous “tap” is located (one pair hovering above the cart tracks at +297, +40, +155 and the other pair at +297, +40, +195. They can be pulled down into the chamber a bit to avoid the numerous aggro mobs passing by.
Inspect the stinger now for the last time and you will receive the Deadly Stinger, a L39 dual-wield stiletto with decent stats (+7 str, +9 agi, damage rating 25.8).

The quest starter (a metal stinger cap) was a corpse drop from a grey con worker wasp in Rivervale just outside the tower.

I didn't have yo kill anything for the crossbar itself, i got it automaticly when i left the Willow Guard Post (or something like that) to go in deeper.

I've found an oddity -- a hollow metal cover on a creature's stinger. It's some sort of augmentation for a large wasp or a bixie. It would make an interesting weapon instead if I can put together the right parts and assemble one. I believe I'll find everything I need inside the Drafling Tower.
I've created a handle for the stinger.
I've added a crossbar to the handle of the stinger.
I've been able to find a special venom that will work perfectly inside this stinger.Using ingenuity and talent, I've transformed the capped stinger into a much more useful weapon -- for those of us who aren't wasps or bixies, at least. The addition of venom was an inspired notion that I'm sure will make this "Deadly Stinger" even more vicious than it was originally.
Stage 1
I must create a hilt and find a way to secure it to the stinger cap.| Start: | By collecting stingers from the stone hive guardians, I'll be able to fashion a hilt. |
|---|---|
| Complete: | I've collected a stinger for the hilt. |
| Start: | I'll gather some bixie hair to bind the stingers and hold them together. |
|---|---|
| Complete: | I've gathered some bixie hair. |
Stage 2
To keep my hand from slipping from my handle and onto the stinger, I'll need to add a crossbar.| Start: | I will find material that will make a good crossbar near the Windowsill Guard Post. |
|---|---|
| Complete: | I have found a crossbar. |
| Start: | To attach the crossbar, I need more bixie hair to lash this together. |
|---|---|
| Complete: | I've obtained some bixie hair. |
Stage 3
This metal cap gives me an idea: fill the hollow tip with poison. It might not be enough to kill something, but a little poison could go a long way.| Start: | I should find some venom for the deadly stinger. |
|---|---|
| Complete: | I've found some venom for the deadly stinger. |
