Armor of Darkness

Armor of Darkness is a quest for level 25-30 in The Storm Peaks. It is step 43 of 113 in The Storm Peaks storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Storm Peaks at 31.3, 38.2. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

This armor plate is thick and oversized compared to the rest of the golem's defenses. A quick examination of the golem's corpse reveals that this heavier plate seems to have been bolted on as an afterthought or a crude upgrade.

Why would the iron dwarves have added this redundant and mismatched armor to their war golems?

Perhaps Bruor Ironbane would know if he had the chance to examine several of these plates from stormforged war golems.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Facing the StormThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    Like Bouldercrag, I once served the keepers as a craftsman in Ulduar, but with Loken's betrayal, I turned my hammer toward our new foes. When we could spare the men, I led raids on Nidavelir to relieve the pressure on our defenders, but our lines are near collapse.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Armor's SecretsThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    The presence of that armor plate is disorienting, but we need to find out all we can from it. It could be part of one of Valduran's schemes. He's dedicated an extraordinary amount of effort to mining, refining, smithing, and testing this metal.
