TheWoWDB⚠️ Heads up! To complete this quest, you only need to scrap the "Legion Armor Scraps" item in your inventory — it looks like a waffle or honeycomb.
Do NOT make the mistake I did and scrap all your gear. Just the quest item is enough!

Description
Artifact is not what catches eye of Erus. No. You have demon armor scraps. Now, you might think to yourself, 'but Erus, demon armor scraps are junk', and you might be right. But Erus sees demon scraps and he does not see junk, he sees bronze. Bronze hidden in the junk. Listen closely, Erus will teach you how to use the Unraveling Sands. You put junk in sands, sands unravels it, and then you get bronze from the ashes. Try using the Unraveling Sands and then toss in the Legion armor scraps.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scavenger Hunting
Momentus may be expert what makes things, but Erus be expert what break things! <Erus energetically punches his fist into his palm to accentuate the word "break".> Go. Kill demons. Take their armor scraps. Then we get to scrapping! I love scrapping.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Get Plenty of Exorcise
Khadgar is close to divining the source of the Legion presence here, but there is no guarantee that he will if the Legion's plans proceed unchallenged. The fate of Dalaran is not yet decided. All he needs is a little more time.
