Humbert's Sword

Retrieve Deathguard Humbert's sword from Dun Garok and return it to him in Tarren Mill.
Humbert's Sword

Description

High Executor Darthalia sent me to keep watch of Dun Garok from a distance. I had set up camp just out of sight. But when morning came and I had to boil water, I left to gather firewood.

When I returned to camp, I discovered my gear was missing.

Apparently some dwarven scouts from Dun Garok had passed by and made off with it. I need my sword! If you can get it back for me I would be so grateful. So many dwarves there...it will be quite difficult to find the dirty little thief who stole it.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Ribbed Breastplate
Mercenary Leggings

Progress

Were you able to retrieve my sword, <name>? High Executor Darthalia will hang me from the rafters if she discovers my folly.

Completion

You found it!

Ah, I feel so complete with my precious sword back in my hand. Many thanks to you!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 305 experience (18 30 at max. level)
  • 350 Reputation with Undercity

The sword is found on the dwarves around 70,77.

It has a very low drop rate so you may be there a while, but it's good XP, I did it at level 30 (Hunter) with a 30 priest.

This is a random drop off of any dwarf, though Captain Ironhill tends to drop it a lot.

You actually dont need a group to enter the mines, but it is recommended, since you often get attacked by groups of mobs at the time...Pretty hard to do alone, but it is possible tho,,,The Sword have very low drop rate, and can at some point make the quest booring, but you can allso do https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=541 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=541 
Would be better, since you are already killing the dwarfs and the Captain :P
But the Group thing is strongly recommended, since some of the mobs are pretty strong...

this is very easy to solo as a level 28 beast mastery spcced hunter. i got level doing this quest, before it dropped. just dont pull more than 1 at a time, and make sure to use concussive shot if they are fleeing towards some more dwarves.

I solo'ed as a lvl 31 fire mage. All the enemies are manageable at this level, highest none-boss type is 30. Very slow respawn time so take your time killing them (I waited about 5 minutes before they started to spawn again). I then went all the way through with a lvl 33 priest and it was a cake-walk. We grabbed 2 at a time and had no trouble taking them out.

I got my Sword from a random drop, not from the Captain (his respawn may be very, very long).

I was picking up 300 - 350 xp a kill, great for level grinding!

Grinded the sword for about 2-3 hours with my hunter, from lvl 26-28, and it never dropped, so halfway to lvl 29 I abandoned the quest. And yes, I did have the quest in my quest log.

Combine it with Part 6 of the Battle of Hillsbrad quest and you will be ok....!!! I've done this q. at lvl 26 with another Lock and they dropped the Sword two times...!!! They are too many Dwarfs around here and you have to be too unlucky to search it for long time...!!!

All three of the quests in Dun Garok (Humbert's Sword, Battle of Hillsbrad 2nd to last part, and Elixir of Agony 2nd to last part) are all easily soloable at level 28+. That hardest mob you'll fight is Captain Ironhill who is level 32, the rest of the mobs are level 28-30.

This quest has a pretty bad drop-rate, go to the south east corner of Hillsbrad Foothills and you will see some dwarves, you can kill any of those and it should randomly drop. Very good quest for racking up experience, but not the best quest for finishing quick.

I did this as a 28 lock and had no troubles besides the fact that there arnt many dwarvs to kill and there were about 5 others working on the same quest. I cleared the place about 5 times after the others left before the sword dropped.

Drop rates were greatly increased for many items such as Humbert's Sword in patch 3.0.3 which is why people are suddenly reporting the drop within a few kills.

I managed to solo this at level 27 as an undead rogue, and was lucky enough to find the item after only pulling 5 npc's (one at a time of course).

Stealth, ambush, use poison to make sure their speed is reduced by 70%, back away and finishing move when they run. They won't get very far or call for help when you cut them down.

I did this on my 26 Warrior, and I got it in a few minutes of grinding, reading some of these posts, I feel pretty lucky. It's random from all dwarves as I got it from a rifleman.
