This is part of a series of quests from Xilla in The Sinking Sands. It is given by her after you complete the Beetle Herding - Act VII quest.
Basically this is the same quest as the past two, except that you must acquire 25 scarab shells and then return them to Xilla.

Xilla Beetlebinder in the Sinking Sands has asked me to help her gather materials to make her special chitin armor. The armor can only be made if the scarab carapaces are in pristine condition. Killing them in any normal fashion would result in damaged shells that would not work for the armor. Xilla however knows a trick to gathering undamaged carapaces. Xilla lent me one of her special bug zappers, and explained that there is a certain type of scarab southeast of the tarantula valley that are highly reactive to the shocks. I need to seek out these scarabs and herd them with the bug zapper into the tarantula valley. From there the spiders' poison should do the rest of the work.
I was able to fulfill Xilla's request to gather pristine scarab carapaces.
I returned to Xilla Beetlebinder and now have access to a new piece of her special gear.I was able to fulfill Xilla's request to gather pristine scarab carapaces. I should now have access to one of her special items.

I am on part 4 of this quest. While I am a tank class I won't be wearing any of the armor itself. I will stick with ebon instead. I only do it because its there and really fairly simple. it does give exp also.

Sure you can sell the armor to a merchant...for one lousy copper!!! What kind of BS is this? I am a Wizard and cannot use it (no complaint there), but after spending so much time herding these beetles, I should at least be able to sell lvl 50 armor to a merchant for more than 1 copper...yes, 1 copper. Is this a bug? The gold was a nice reward, but seriously?!

"No Trade" does not mean you can't sell to merchants, it means you can't sell or give to other players. "No Value" means you can't sell it to merchants.

Sure the 9 gold was nice. The "Bug Zapper" for my 51 Guardian has nice one handed damage 50-150. But it has no stats. The Armor is quite nice but at lvl 50 it sure isn't up to ebon or vanadium (spelling). I'm a bit upset that you can't at least sell your rewards to a merchant as SOE has decided THAT 90% of a ll quest rewards are now no-trade.

Quest is worth the time spent if you can wear heavy armor. Once you have completed several of the quests...you can then buy armor from the NPC for 1c each - and no that is not a mistake - 1c each.

This quest is beyond monotonous. I'm on step VII now, and the worst thing is when other people are going after the beetles as well. There's better things to do that to sit around for hours doing this one... the reward isn't even that great.

The last entry is not correct. Not only do you get the "Bug Zapper" weapon, but an entire set of "Desert Chitin" plate armor. Stats aren't the best available, but better than average, and can be worn by Warrior, Crusader, and Priest types.

I got Beetle Herding Act VII today after completing act VI, in which Im required to zapp 18 Skittish Beetles into the Tarantula area. Getting rather annoying.. still curious what next step might be.
