To complete the quest you need to defeat mechanical mobs within The Eternal Forge area.
As you collect [item=173879] (either one or some), get to the fogre in the center of area.
Use all of your [item=173879] to purify them into [item=173880]. Repeat until get enough.

Rewards25g 74s, 8,150 XP

Description

I will locate Phaestus. In the meantime, task for you! The Forsworn use my forge to make their centurion army. Their vile intentions warp the metals we use! Destroy their centurions, take their parts. Smelt them down in the forge to purify the metals, then return to me. I need much metal for my plan.
