Quest is offered after hitting Renown 7 with Dragonscale Expedition - Advanced Expedition Tools.

For those wondering why they aren't getting certain or any rewards offered: The rewards are 2 Maces and an Axe-My lock was offered nothing because of this. In addition, these types of cosmetic renown quest rewards seem to go by what the class would normally use rather than what they can use. If you aren't getting what you want, there are 2 options: Buy: on any class that can learn them, but with the odd "currency" the DF vendors frequently require. (requires 1 toon on the account to reach Renown 7-unlocks account-wide option to purchase the rewards), or 2) Quest: Get an alt to renown 7 that would normally use that weapon type to be offered them.
