This quest SUCKS! I have been mining for 3 hours straight and nothing! I currently have 800 Leystone and 300 Felslate and still no dang quest. I have been at 767 for 3 days and cant get any further in my mining! I have done all the quests up to this point also.

The drop rate for this quest is asinine!

I was doing the Air Superiority WQ in Suramar, west of the Hippogryph a leystone node popped up. I went to mine it and lightning struck next to me (as well as a basalisk to boot) and auto accepted Rank 3 Leystone Deposit.

Current Stats at the time:
Mining 786 (+10 mining gloves)

Leystone Deposit * *
Leystone Seam * *
Living Leystone *
Felslate Deposit *
Felslate Seam * *
Living Felslate * *
Infernal Brimstone *

So i doubt you need to have all ranks to 2 star * *.

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 HornLevel 10-45

    The corpse of the rocky beast yielded an unusual treasure: a battered chunk of tauren's horn. It is clearly very, very old, but something about its color and curve reminds you of Ronos Ironhorn at the Ironhorn Enclave.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rethu's ExperienceLevel 10-45

    Miner... you... you know who I am? I see. That is good. My tribe continues to honor its roots. If you return to the land of the Ironhorn tribe... let them know that they are looked upon with pride.
