I think whoever created this quest exclusively only ever plays tanks. I must have killed over 50 mobs before finally just unable to kite and heal any longer and died.

Edit.

Quest is currently bugged and impossible. Mobs spawn endlessly. I had music in the background that went on for 15min before I died again.

Description

That's everything I need. Time to get to work. I'd stay close, if I were you. Forging a weapon is never a simple task when the Primus's handiwork is involved. If he taught me anything, it was to expect the unexpected.

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.

  • Thick SkinMaldraxxus · Level 10-54

    The Primus forged a fine blade, but it will do you no good in its current state. Fortunately for you, I possess the skill to finish his work! That being said, I will require materials.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Path to GloryMaldraxxus · Level 10-54

    It's been some time since I had a chance to craft a weapon that powerful! Good to know that the skills I learned from the Primus haven't dulled. You'd best get back to the baroness with that runeblade. I'm sure the margrave will want to know you wield it, as well.
