Broken Tools (5)

Description

There are dwarves preparing a dig site to the northwest. They think secrets lie in the earth, and that is true, but hollowing and defiling the land is no way to earn its teachings.

Collect the dwarven tools of digging, smash them, and return to me with the dwarves' broken tools.

You can smash the tools at a forge. You will find one in Thunder Bluff, but any forge -- even a forge at the dwarven camp -- will suffice.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Fortified Bindings
Rough-hewn Kodo Leggings

Progress

Hello, <name>. Do you have the Broken Tools? The dwarves' digging will enrage the kodos of Mulgore. This defilement must be stopped!

Completion

Thank you, <name>. This will calm the beasts of Mulgore. And, spirits willing, it will teach the dwarves that hollowing the land is not the path to knowledge.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 700 experience (4 20 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Thunder Bluff

You get the tools from the dwarves and break them at that same camp at 32, 48. The anvil is at the back left corner of the camp.

If you are having trouble getting to the forge at the dwarven camp, you can always go to Thunder Bluff and use the forge by the blacksmith to create the broken tools.

Having problems with this quest?
1) Pull up your map. There is a brown spot to the northwest of the village. Go there and then kill the dwarves. If you get tools it will not be a quest item until you break them.

The success rate for breaking the tools is 100%. In other words, you only need to gather 5 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=4702 Prospector's Picks from the dwarves before leaving the area. The drop rate is roughly 35% from both the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=2989 Diggers and https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=2990 Appraisers.

Is the actual dwarf camp near any of the venture co. mines? o and by the way, the venture co workers that are dwarves dont drop the tools.

The appraisers are hard to kill as a druid, so I suggest that, if you are a druid, you should try to get all of the picks from the diggers, then go to Thunder Bluff to break them.

If none have dropped then you probably need to abandon and get the quest again
especially if you've had the quest for a long time

It is possible for Taurens to interupt the healers healing as long as ur racial is not on CD. The racial is about 1 sec. cast which can easily interupt the casting and if u brutally beat on them while they are stunned, u can skip the whole killing over thing completly

I wonder... would the dwarf players be friendly/honored/revered/exalted with these Dwarves? They are Bael'Dun Dwarves and if I remember well, they are friends of the Players' Dwarves...
