After searching for this item forever and not finding any helpful comments:

You can NOT loot the Sulfate on Normal difficulty, as someone else suggested somewhere.

The item, if you look on your map, is in the "Ravenshold" level of the dungeon, in the second room that shoots off from the main circle, before you continue up the next flight of stairs. You will find it to your left upon entering the room, sitting between two wheel-like things.

I ran this heroic dungeon and left after killing the last boss without checking the quest progress, thinking the item I
needed was looted off the last boss. I came back on normal difficulty, per belief that I could get the item, but not the boss kill credit (didn't matter, I already had it).

Hope this clears some things up and others won't have to run this dungeon three times in a row like me!

The [item=136812] is near the bottom of the main stairs. It is guarded by a [npc=98813], so if you run down alone to get the item after the last boss is dead, make sure you have a stun or something available.

Try to get your group to go into the small room and kill the npcs as you go up the stairs. You can see on the quest item when you are at the same level.

Can be done on Heroic difficulty

You need to go to the [zone=7805] and get the [item=136812] right before the 3-d boss [npc=98949]

You also need to craft 1xFlask of the Countless Armies
After this quest you can learn [item=127930]

Description

The next ingredient on the list will supposedly add strength to the mix, according to Deucus. I've heard of it before, but haven't really used it. It's called Sabelite Sulfate, and it's said the elves of Black Rook Hold use it in their blacksmithing. Something like that won't just be lying around. You may have to delve deep into the hold to find it. And due to its weight, I may need a concoction of yours to compensate, something to give me a bit more strength.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Halls of Valor: The Prime IngredientLevel 45

    This first ingredient can only be obtained by visiting the next realm. Fortunately for us, there's a gate in Stormheim that can take you there. In the Halls of Valor, there is a sand that's used for polishing their architecture. Eternity Sand, it's called.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Maw of Souls: A Hope in HelheimLevel 45

    For this last ingredient, well... <Alard begins pondering for a moment, then nods his head.> Yes, that's the only way. For this last one, you'll need to go to the land of the damned, Helheim. Well, not there exactly, but aboard the boat that ferries the dead across the Maw of Souls.
