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 Apothecary Dithers at the Bulwark, 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 Dithers 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.

This is a fairly easy quest. You need to go to 45,45 in un'goro crater. Follow one of the lava rivers up to the lake and stand close to the edge. I found a spot that allowed me to comfortably cast the key without getting burned.

Coordinates above confirmed.

I couldn't find a place to get close enough to the lake to forge without getting burned, so I had a guild mate heal me while I stood in the lake. Easy enough that way.

Watch out for Blazerunner in the cave next to the lake, he's a 58 elite.

I did this quest solo as a 57 hunter with no problem. You can get near enough to forge without taking any damage. I just had to make sure to kill the elemental in the lake first. I didn't have any issues with the elite either cause I was far enough away from the cave that he didn't aggro.

The lake is at: 49,46
A path starts around 52,53 that kind of wraps around the mountain that you can follow towards the top

Remember to turn in it to Apothecary Dithers, and not the goblin you got the quest from.

Using Cartographer, my coords were 48.3, 46.8 to take no damage. NW side of the lake where the land kind of bows into the lake.

With the recent changes to WOW, cordinates have changed. New cordinates are 48,48. However for those with out cords. When you go to the lake at the top of the mountain you need to step down at the ENTRANCE of the Lake where it begins to pour down the mountain.

This is the only spot you will be able to make your key!

Happy hunting!

If you're a Priest, you can cast Levitate on yourself (or party members) and simply float above the lava as you use the quest item.

This one counts towards Loremaster of Kalimdor. If you are tight here is a hidden quest buried in an Eastern kingdom chain line.
