The iridium is dropped from neutral mobs in the cave. So if you're seeing it on the floor and can't interact with it, you're looking at the corpse of a mob killed by another player. It confused me at first too.

Description

My goods used to be for the very best, now the Iron Horde make copies out of poor metal and give them to everyone. I'm going to show them what a real smith can do in your arsenal, but first I'm going to need a powerful flux to make the metal as pure as it can get. The dust from crushed iridium geodes would work in a pinch but we need to find some first. They tend to congregate underground, so check out the mine in Kuuro's Claim nearby.

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.

Out of JoviteTalador · Level 20-40
Crafting good equipment requires the best metal and some of the best metal is the jovite that comes from the mine in Kuuro's Claim, just east of here. In order to supply the arsenal I'm going to need this metal.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Gas GuzzlersTalador · Level 20-40
Sir, to make the best equipment for your arsenal I need not only the best materials, but to use the best techniques. Over the years I've developed a method to greatly strengthen my metal, but it does require an exotic resource: goren gut gas!
