Still extremely rare but obtainable in 10.1.5.

Bruteforcing this in a long, boring session of mining, Rank 3 took me 3937 Leystone Ore and 4865 Felslate worth of farming nothing but seams (excluding the previous years where I never got this since Legion). I did not need the felslate, but seams share spawns and prevent others from spawning.

For more information on their spawn locations and which Broken Shore seams are linked to eachother, visit the Leystone Seam page and my comment there, as I do not want to copypaste a wall of text and coordinates onto every relevant page.

Just got this as of April 3, 2026! Took about 8 hours or so of farming. Make sure to farm ALL NODES in Broken shore. All nodes share spawns with each other so when you mine something, anything else can spawn there. Just keep on mining. It will drop eventually.

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.

  • Rethu's LessonLevel 10-45

    You... miner... let me see your pick a moment. <The tauren spirit eyes your mining equipment.> You remind me of myself, when I once walked this land. Savor these moments, miner. They cannot last forever. <With a bow, the spirit disappears.>

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rethu's SacrificeLevel 10-45

    Miner... speak with me a moment. I haven't much time in this place. I see you fight for your ore. I believe that is the most noble way to obtain your stone. It gives the land a fighting chance. Still, one mustn't be callous with their own life. Dig too deep, and the land will overcome you.
