Description

The troops of the Shattered Sun Offensive will need every advantage they can get to beat back the allies of Kil'Jaeden. My colleagues in Stormwind have created oils which will strengthen the blades and armor of our troops.

The key ingredient, nether residue, pervades Outland -- if you know where to look. Any master herbalist, skinner, or miner who knows the signs can gather it while plying his trade. Those herbs, ores, and beasts native to Outland may all bear the residue.

For miners, I would suggest simply mining fel iron nodes in Hellfire after you finish up with the dailies on Kil'jaeden's throne. I say this because not only are they extremely easy to find (not to mention largely ignored) but appear to have the same drop rate as adamantium ore, which unless you're actively searching it out for money it causes the quest to go by much slower due to its high demand.

PS, you can get these on the Isle of Quel'danas also, despite it saying Outland only...primarily because they have Outland ore there. Got mine from just doing the Shattered Sun dailies, didn't need to take a single detour.
