Description

I'd like you to take the mold to the blacksmith in Dalaran. Alard, I believe his name is.

Have him help you forge a new set of keys.

I found some writing on the back of the mold that may hold the answer to what these keys unlock. I'll stay here and try to translate the text.

Travel to Dalaran and find Alard Schmied in Blacksmith store, ask him to help with keys. You have to do the following things:


  • Melt Metal Bar - stand close to the Forge and press extra button, Forge is between two ways out, looks like big metal door with hammer on it.

  • Pour Slag - table that you need to get close to is left from the Forge

  • Cool Mold - bath full of water is right from the Forge.


As you done, get back to Tae'thelan Bloodwatcher, you'll get [item=131744].

    I have realized through experience that the old methods are usually the best and for good reason. I'm done with alternate means of digging for now, and wish to focus on the right way to do things.
