Description

The garbage in these trash heaps is full of rare metals: Dalaranium, Suramarite, even Gnomeisium!

I've not seen this much easy gold to be had, since they left the vault door open in Boralus! You help me collect some of the metal, and my friend Gao will sell it on the black market.

I've got a device that can tear the metal right out of the trash!

Use the tool where there are sparkles on the ground.

The metal collector has a chance to snag Small Metal Box, which in turn has a chance to contain Paint Bottle: Electric Blue.
You can farm these boxes, by simply not turning in the quest, which lets you keep the metal collector and continue hitting it as you run. Be warned, in my testing, it's a long time between boxes.
