Description

The mountaineers of Loch Modan are fighting troggs, and having a busy time of it! They need constant supplies of new armor and weapons if we're ever to get a handle on those troggs.

That's why my colleague Thorvald is there, trying to keep the mountaineers in good gear. So if you were to make some copper axes and copper chain belts and bring them to Thorvald, he would be obliged. He might even share his knowledge with you.

Thorvald is in Loch Modan's southern guard tower.

Note that as of 7.0 pre-Legion patch, this quest calls for 6 Copper Plate Belts. This pattern doesn't exist. It's Copper CHAIN Belts (remember, plate wearers can't wear plate at this level). Quest Summary text (at the bottom of the quest), Quest Tracker (in UI) and Wowhead all have this error. The text within the quest, however, says Copper Chain Belt (not the summary at the bottom)

If you're a recipe collector, be sure to check back when your smithing level hits 60 and Gearing Redridge becomes available, which rewards [item=6735].

*edit* not sure why this was downrated, that recipe is also Alliance-only and the quest is easy to miss or forget about. Maybe because the sword is more unique than the breastplate /shrug
