As of 2.0.4, this quest gives 250 Thorium Brotherhood rep.

The entrance into the right part of the Slag Pit is around 49,46 (I recommend jumping down from the top) After clearing a few lvl 46-47 mobs, this guy will be on a kind of balcony with two level 48-49 elites. He himself is a 50 elite.

Be careful, the guy crits for 450-480 on plate (no shield), and the other two elite are pretty tough too.

Be sure to complete this with ""What The Flux?"" - https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7722 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7722

I had trouble finding this myself so I thought I'd be specific.

He can be found inside a cave called the Slag Pit. It's the second cave from the left. Once inside work your way in and turn left when you see a gate. There will be a winding ramp up and soon enough you'll see a balcony with Overseer Maltorius and his adds. It's at about 40,36, don't mistake this co-ordinate for the same area above ground.

When I did this quest I found a rare spawn but he's pretty easy to take down so I took him down first. There are two ways to go about doing this, one is to keep them scattered and focus dps on one, and the other is to use a form of CC and focus dps on one. I would recommend taking out each of the two guards before moving on to the Overseer as he has about 14,000HP and hits pretty hard.

Behind him is the plans for the quest ""What the Flux?"". If you're just after that you could fear them all, run in, get the plans and jump out.

The easiest way to find him: go to 48-44 on left side of tower, then drop down go in to tunnel, veer to the left and there he is. He hits pretty hard and uses polymorph. Did this quest with 56 pally and 54 warrior and was still tough. With a good dps and healer shouldnt be too much of a problem.

As a Priest at level 51, I simply mind controlled the overseer and let his guard slap him around for 1 minute. When mind control faded, the overseer had 4% health left, so I simply feared, killed the overseer, looted the plans and ran away.

Solod this on my lvl 48 Affliction Warlock.

The guards don't respawn until you kill the Overseer, so you can kill one, get out of combat (you can jump down at the right onto a platform where they can't reach) and go back up and kill another so you're left alone with the Overseer.

First guard I took down by drain tanking it, while fearing the other guard and seducing the overseer. Second guard the same, and after that I just feared and dotted the overseer to death (make sure you clear the room in front of it so you don't get adds).

He can still have 2 guards in patch 2.3.0...

The rare spawn of https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=8283 Slave Master Blackheart can be spawn up at the right side of him!

But np for an 52 warlock

I'm not sure what is going on in this thread but I wandered around for about a half hour trying to follow this advice and it was terrible.

I finally disregarded the advice here and went in the far RIGHT cave, over a small bridge, then on the left there is the balcony with him and the flux plans on it.

Lol, I remember when this used to be tough. As of 2.0.4 They removed both the eliteness and one of his adds. Soloed at 47. Sheep boss, kill add, kill boss. Done.

Easiest way to get to him: Ride due south from the flypoint. You'll come to a patch of stone with a square hole in it and a chain hanging down. Jump down onto the stone block hanging there, then to the ground. Follow the chamber west to a ramp, go up the ramp to the right go into the big room at the top of ramp. Boss is around the wall to the right.

I'd combine this quest with Culling the Competition, Incendisaurs, and the other Maltorius quest for the plans.

i soloed it as a 50 lvl warrior using sweeping strikes and cleave thus hitting both the add and the overseer.i started with the add.(could have also used retaliation)
the thing is that sweeping strikes is a skill for arms spec warriors so i don't know how it would work for fury or protection

Done as lvl 45 enhance shaman, was extremely easy depending on your definition of easy. Killed his add right away, then let the overseer kill me. Reincarnated, buffed up, got ready to fight. Dropped grounding totem right away and went in without any other totems. Pretty straight forward, doesn't melee very hard, earth/wind shock every shadowbolt with grounding picking up the resisted/missed shocks, purge his bubble, easy.

If you're going with a priest, early in the slag pit you can just drop the attacking mobs in lava with mind control. Those !@#$%^&amp;s will just simply stand there stunned by your awesomeness.... saves you seconds of fight too.

I don't know why no one has give the coordinates for the hole yet - but it's at 34,42. Use some method of slowing the fall if you have it.

If you make a wrong turn (as I did) after going up the ramp, you'll be in the ""bedroom"" for the new quest where you steal the pillows. After stealing them, continue on thru to the next room. As you do, you'll be heading in the right direction for Overseer. He's straight ahead of you on the other side of the wall.
