Cave Entrance is at 55.87, 64.60.

You will find the Everfrost Shards at the very back of the cave, they do not sparkle. They are a smoky green crystal sticking out of the ground.

The Stoic Mammoth Hides are drops from Stoic Mammoths which can be found outside the entrance to the cave.

Edit: It appears that if you are a skinner you will receive the mammoth hides at a 100% drop rate from skinning.

Description

The time has come, little {class}. The stars have foretold of this day. I have received a vision from mighty Hodir himself, revealing the secret to the creation of a great artifact. We must obey! Were we to fail in receiving this gift, doom would surely follow. I call upon you to assist me in this sacred undertaking. Go across the valley, deep into the Hibernal Cavern and gather everfrost shards from the icy crater there, then collect hides from the mammoths outside the cavern.

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.

  • Placing Hodir's HelmThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    The helm is forged. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, small one. Though there remains much to do, we sons of Hodir are grateful for your accomplishments. In return, I offer you the opportunity to present Hodir's helm to our king and our brethren.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A New BeginningThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    It remains uncertain whether or not our people can ever rekindle the affection we once held for Thorim. May this armor, if nothing else, remind him of the days when we stood together in honor, invincible.
