What to do

StorylineIcecrown, step 119 of 167
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

<Olakin turns one of the shards over in an armored fist.> These could pierce armor with enough force. We have to find out what they're made of and what the Lich King intends to do with them. To the east, nestled next to Icecrown Citadel itself, lies Malykriss. From the few reports we have, it's full of smelting and smithing equipment. Bring these shards there, and smelt them in one of the open furnaces on the bottom level of Malykriss. Once the metal has been reformed, we can identify it.

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.

  • Jagged ShardsIcecrown · Level 25-30

    You pulled this jagged, dark brittle shard from the body of a ghoul. The metal blade lacks a smooth edge, suggesting it was forged by an unskilled hand, or was broken from a larger piece.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Runesmiths of MalykrissIcecrown · Level 25-30

    Those shards you recovered can only have come from one place, Malykriss. It's the seat of the Lich King's metalworking operations, to the east of Corp'rethar. What's puzzling is that metal isn't needed to stitch together abominations or flesh giants, or to summon skeletal servants.
