Walkthrough
First you need a Devourer Egg, you can either do The Egg Hunter quest which gives you 2 devourer eggs as a reward, or you can get an egg from a collector (Brownlow and Rownan both with give you an egg in exchange for the items they want). Then take that egg back to Pitney. After you've talked to him and handed over the egg, follow him to the fields north of Ashford Village and kill the Worm Queen that comes out of the ground. Finally talk to Pitney again and claim your reward.
