Description

Clearly, this is more than an ordinary hunk of metal. Unlike any ore you're familiar with, it is hard but not brittle, far lighter than it looks, and glows even when cool. Looking closer, you can make out one of Thorim's runes shining beneath the surface....

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Refiner's FireThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    Beneath its porous exterior, this hunk of metal gleams with a mysterious quality. You feel it would only be prudent to burn off the slag at Fjorn's Anvil. As you ponder where in this frozen waste you might find something hot enough for the job, a fire revenant crosses your path...

After this quest

  • Forging an AllianceThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    <Thorim, for the first time since your meeting him, smiles.> This is all beginning to have the smell of fate's hand, <race>. Your discovery is what remains of my armor, long ago cast off in a fit of grief and left to the elements.
