Fire Plume Forged

Take the Skeleton Key Mold and 2 Thorium Bars to the top of Fire Plume Ridge in Un'Goro Crater. Use the Skeleton Key Mold by the lava lake to forge the Unfinished Skeleton Key.

Bring the Unfinished Skeleton Key to Alchemist Arbington at Chillwind Point, Western Plaguelands.
Unfinished Skeleton Key
Provided Item:
Skeleton Key Mold

Description

You need two bars of thorium and a powerfully hot heat source to forge the key stem. You're on your own for the thorium, but I can help with the heat.

To our west in Un'Goro Crater is Fire Plume Ridge - a simmering volcano. The lava lake up top is hot enough to fuse thorium and bone together. Your gold has bought you a mold that simply requires you to dip it in the lake up top; the lava will take care of the rest.

That's it on my end. To finish your key, you'll need to talk to Arbington again.

Progress

Do you have the stem of the skeletal key finished? I'm truly sorry you had to bear the brunt of the fee to purchase the mold, but we must all do our part to counter the Scourge. Once you hand me the unfinished key, you'll be ready for the final item needed to complete its construction.

It won't be easy at all, but the work you've done to date in preparing for an assault on Andorhal will now start to pay for itself. You'll see.

Completion

We've got quite the costly skeleton key there, don't we <name>? Still, it remains unfinished; the time has now come to put some focus behind our creation. To that end, you're going to have to face the ultimate foe we've been working towards facing in Andorhal... the being that runs the show within the ruined city walls.

I'm speaking of Araj the Summoner - a lich, and one of the most powerful beings the Scourge calls as its own.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 450 experience (27 at max. level)

You have to stand near the lava lake, on the north 'shore', where Blazerunner is. Don't stand in the lake (it will kill you) or on the other side of the lake (it won't work).

Both locations of 52,42 for the ramp up the mountain and 48,48 as to where to stand for the lake were of great help. Solo'd as a 56 hunter which was very easy to do. Took all of 5 minutes.

Don't forget to bring the two thorium bars needed to forge the unfinished key.

When the item is used it forms a green aura around you and shakes the screen (Pretty cool huh?) You can stand on the other side you just have to be more to the south than north

Just completed this and found that it won't work standing next to the edge where Blazerunner's cave is located. Won't work standing in the stream either as an elemental in the water keeps getting you into combat. So, I walked over to the opposite side across the stream going down the hill and completed the quest with no problem and not combat issues. Don't know if it matters that I have upgraded to Lich King or not.

The only place I could get it to work was the west side as none of the other locations worked. When I tried other locations around the lake and inside the lake, it said I had to be closer to the magma lake. Solo as a 60 Warrior
