The Illidari-Bane questline is a series of quests that leads to some cool anti-demon weapons. It involves entering many level-70 instances, so you probably want to do the prerequisites before then. David Wayne is also rumored to be Mograine of the Ashbringer.

Soloed as a level 70 rogue.

When you walk in, take the right hallway. You will need to stealth very close to some high level mobs, so, you can:
(a) have Master of Deception
(b) use a Sneaking Potion (this is what I did, I'm combat spec)
(c) sprint like a madman and then vanish.

Get to the ramp that Gatewatcher Iron-Hand patrols on. He walks up to the top of the ramp, walks down and says hi to Capacitus, and then walks back up. If you stand on the edge of the ramp he will not see you.

Looking over the edge of the ramp you can see your prize-- there should be 4 Overcharged Manacells there. Closest to you there is a group of 2 Sunfury Engineers, and 2 Mechanar Tinkerers. Don't even think about fighting any of them, you'd die-- we have something much more roguish planned.

Wait until Iron-Hand is at the bottom of the ramp, and then throw/shoot at one of the engineers. They will start to path all the way around the pillar and up the ramp towards you. When they are about to get to you, jump off the ramp landing right next to one of the manacells. Vanish, and grab it. You should have enough time to get it with a couple seconds to spare, before they kindly come back and kill you, porting you out of the instance.

This would have been easy to get in a group, since you only have to clear to the first boss, but if you're up for an exciting challenge, you can try this method.

Enjoy the rest of this excessively long quest chain. ^_^

Description

Working with the ingots you brought is going to require a lot of heat -- rather more than a conventional forge can supply. I'm going to need a supplemental heat source for the forge and there are very few things in Outland that can supply that kind of power. The Mechanar area of Tempest Keep turns out manacells containing an incredible amount of power. Find one of the overcharged manacells from the stacks around Mechano-Lord Capacitus and bring it back here.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Additional MaterialsShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    The ingots that you brought contain most of the metal I'll need to forge the sword's blade, but I'll need a variety of things to create other parts of the weapon. Let's see, among the things I don't have here are an adamantite frame, some heavy knothide leather, and a demon warding totem.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Lexicon DemonicaShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    Recreating the enchantments on the blade requires several spells to be spoken in demonic. It's not something I was taught during my training as an apprentice, but there's no way around it.
