What they say
On offering it
I was sent here with that fool Fryxplaz to keep him safe from whatever dangerous creatures he decides to investigate. Perhaps you could bring me a trophy from the Azebaj Hive! I want the stinger of the Azebaj Hive-King, who has thus far evaded me. Rub the antennae of one of his mates with royal pollen from his strongest guardians, then set it ablaze in his royal chambers. Such a direct challenge is sure to draw him from his den, and I can provide you with the flame you need.

Quest Steps
Step 1 - Get Quest
Speak to Enforcer Austriana at North Neamsong Bunker
Step 2 - Kill Hive Consort
Though the quest makes it sound as if there might be a number of these lurking about, there's really only one:
| [12] | The Azebaj Hivequeen |
To find the 'Royal Chamber', head straight into the hive. A bit past the honeycombs you will come to a T intersection. You need to take the tunnel to the right. This can be an easy tunnel to miss as its entrance its a very sharp right and somewhat hidden by rocks and a far more visible and misleading short dead-end ramp leading up to the right. The correct tunnel leads downwards at first and the Azebaj will show the 'Royal' prefix once you're in the tunnel.
When you find the queen, clear out as many Azebaj around her as you can. She's somewhat social and when you pull here, any Azebaj in her immediate vicinity will come with. The drop you need for the quest is
| 1 x | Quest Item | Inventory | [Clvl 1] | [Ilvl 1] | Azebaj Consort's Antenna |
Step 3 - Rub Antenna with Royal Jelly
The Royal Jelly can drop from any Azebaj with a 'Royal' prefix. It is an uncommon drop from most of them but a common drop from the Royal Attendants. You will need 5 of them.
Once you have the Antenna and the jelly, right click the antenna in your inventory and the two will automatically combine.
Step 4 - Burn it
Right click the jelly smeared antenna and it will combine automatically with the flame. This will IMMEDIATELY summon the Hive King. Don't do this until you're ready! This will consume all of the quest items. Should you fail in your attempt to kill the king and need to resummon him you will need to return to the quest giver to get another flame and then farm for jelly and the antenna again.
Step 5 - Kill the King
| [14] | AZEBAJ HIVE-KING BZZARZRT |
The King will appear with 8 1 dot defenders. They go down quite easily. The make-up of your group should determine the best way to handle this fight but most of your attention should be focussed on the king. You may wish to have the tank do the actual summoning so that he gets all of the initial attention from this crowd. He will drop
| 1 x | Quest Item | Inventory | [Clvl 1] | [Ilvl 1] | Azebaj Hive-King's Huge Stinger |
to complete the quest requirements.
Step 6 - Return to Enforcer Austriana
She will be quite pleased to be able to show off this trophy that she didn't do anything to earn.
Quest Notes
Curiously, there are two different quest rewards for Monks and Disciples on this quest. The two weapons are virtually identical except one does slightly more damage. Apart from aesthetics there seems to be no reason to choose the slightly lesser of the two. Should you pick it you may be the only person in the game that has one! This seems to be an error in the quest rewards that hasn't been fixed yet.
