8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8	Thorium Plated Dagger (8)

Description

To hold the flawless flame, we will need a shaft and a casing. You must first find a suitable shaft.

The Dark Iron taskmasters and slavers of the cauldron use weapons of enchanted thorium, an extremely sturdy alloy. If you bring me eight thorium plated daggers, I can break the alloy down and reforge a shaft.

Reward

Also, you get: 1 40

Progress

Eight, <name>. I need eight!

Completion

You're an exceptional laborer, <name>. Have you ever considered a change of vocation? Perhaps a detective? Junk collector? Oh, I know, one of those silly gnomes that crawl across the beaches of Azeroth with their metal detecting contraptions, looking for lost treasure. Yes, that would be an ideal position for you.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:

440 experience (26 40 at max. level)

It's best to double this quest up with the Wanted/Missing board quests in Thorium Point, which has you kill Dark Iron Slavers, Taskmasters, Steamsmiths and Lookouts. The drop rate on the daggers is not too bad, so if you get this before you do the other two I mentioned, you likely won't have to kill any extra mobs.

Nice to do it while cleaning mobs for Wanted: Overseer Maltorius( https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7701 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7701 ) and What the Flux ( https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7722 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7722 ). Also, there is some quest to kill dark iron slavers/other type of mobs, both drops daggers.

Best drop rate for me, hovewer, was inside Cauldron' caverns, so 2 quests I linked may be best option.

if you happen to be in the area, even the lowbie dark iron geologists by the outhouse drop this, and are a much easier kill for physical dps classes
