The Tuyere is only dropped by Dark Iron Steamsmiths. There are only a few that spawn, about 5 or 6 i think. They're near the steamery at 39,50.

The spyglass is dropped by Dark Iron Lookouts. You can find them near the towers that surround the cauldron.

Just to help clarify, the steamsmiths are directly south of Kalaran Windblade. They are up top, before the elevator that lowers you into the gorge.

I spent a lot of time wandering around in the caves below and couldnt find em... heh

The drop rate is somewhere around 4%, it's just a matter of your luck. If you don't get it soon, then just keep trying, the quest should take no more than 20 minutes.

ok so this quest has not been fun at all.

The lookouts are just west of the cauldron on the top. There average level is about 47 and I was lucky and got the spyglass on the second kill

The steamer dudes are right at the elevator that takes you down into the cauldron and they are on the top level. There are only 5 there that i could find and killed them and there respawns for over an hour. Still hasn't dropped. The only reason i haven't abandoned this quest is because the monetary reward is pretty good and even though I can't use the quest rewards I can disenchant them.

Good Luck all.

There are 6 Dark Iron Steamsmiths in total. 2 at the Tents to the west of the Cauldron Smithy, 3 at the smithy, and 1 at the tents to the east of the smithy.

It took me just over 1 hour and 22 minutes to complete this quest. The hangup was the Smithing Tuyere. It just would ""not"" drop.

The spyglass dropped on first kill. The Tuyere on the other hand hasn't dropped after an hour+ of killing the steamsmiths.

I recommend running and doing other quests while they respawn. Such as killing golems, or spiders/etc.

The ""Dark Iron Steamsmiths"" are around the steamery, there are in total 6 of them, they drop the ""Smithing Tuyere"". ""The Dark Iron Lookout"" drops the ""Lookout's Spyglass"". They are at every watchtower in and around the ""The Cauldron"", but be sure you don't go in a watchtower, there's a lvl 48 elite ""Dark Iron Sentry"" in it and no ""Dark Iron Lookout"", not really hard to kill that ""Dark Iron Sentry"" either.
Tower locations are:
33,53
36,59
44,61
49,55
Steamery location:
39,50

WARNING: I just had a GM confirm that THIS QUEST is the one that BUGS the Gnomeregan teleporter quest line!!!!

If you complete this quest before you complete Chief Engineer Scooty (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2842 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2842 ), you can NOT pick up that quest anymore, and you will NOT be able to get your Goblin Transponder (https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=9173 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=9173 ) to teleport to Gnomeregan.

Reminder: Chief Engineer Scooty is obtainable after you talk to Nogg next to Sovik and accept Rig Wars (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2841 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2841 ).

The GM escalated my ticket to a Character Specialist, said it will take 3-5 days for him to respond. Currently waiting for the response.

If you're lucky, the spyglass will also drop with the lookout with the Overlord. (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7701 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7701) It dropped for me, so I don't know if this occurs often or not, but it was an excellent way of killing two birds with one stone.

Drop rate for the Tuyere was practically nonexistent for me. Got it after 2 hours of farming these little suckers. Not to mention that there are only 6 of them and their respawn rate is so slooooooooow!

Good luck with this one peeps!

On to Spyglass now...

EDIT: Acquiring a Spyglass also took a few billion kills. The mere fact that there are a lot more lookouts then steamsmiths around made this one a bit less tiresome, but still pain in the butt.

Do this quest only if you have policy of solving all the quests there are or you are EXTREMELY bored, otherwise stay clear of it!

Once again, good luck!

This was unquestionably the longest and most frustrating quest I've undertaken in a very long time. The easy part was the Smithing Tuyere. As noted already it dropped from the Steamsmiths on the north rim of the Cauldron. I had to wait for a couple Steamsmiths to respawn but got the item after killing 9 Steamsmiths. Then the frustration began. For the next 2 hours and 40 minutes, I killed Lookout after Lookout without getting the Spyglass. I killed every one of the Lookouts (5 or 6 Lookouts per tower plus the odd Golem who was in the way) at each tower at least 3 times each with some going as much as 5 times before the Spyglass finally dropped. I got a good deal of silver coin but that was small consolation for the time invested. The Spyglass finally dropped from a Lookout at the eastern-most tower. If the appearance of an item on any given MOB is random I must have paid dearly for others who got it after killing just 1 or 2 Lookouts. It's no fun on the long end of the bell curve.

I got both items on the 6th and 7th kills respectively; took me all of 15 minutes, minus travel times.

The quest was long, and very time consuming. I agree with the above comment to perhaps work on other quests in the area while doing this one. Both drops for me, it took over an hour.

This quest couples well with https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7729 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7729 as you can kill the Taskmasters and Slavers while waiting for the Steamsmiths to respawn.
Another quest that couples well with it is https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7723 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7723, as there are lots of Golems nearby.

A chest also spawns at 37.8, 48.7.

Drop Rate: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=18959 Smithing Tuyere HORRID!
Drop Rate: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=18960 Lookout's Spyglass Not Much Better!

By far the Smithing Tuyere is the hardest to get. Don't plan on just waltzing in and grabbing that thing quickly unless you have the gift of the WoW Gods on your team. And PRAY you don't have to fight with others to get it either. Been @ this quest for almost 2 hours now and still nothing. Got the Spyglass 1st shot. But that latter just SUX!

Note: Ok as I was posting this I killed 3 more of the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=5840 Dark Iron Steamsmiths and nailed the Smithing Tuyere. w00t for me! 2 Hours 4 mins total time to complete this damn thing.

They may have upped the droprate on these items in a recent patch, because I just did this for Loremaster, and got both items within 15 minutes.

Or, I'm just really lucky and should drop everything to go to Vegas.

Got the Lookout Spyglass and https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13026 This on my first Lookout kill (I must be extremely lucky...). The Smithing Tuyere on the other hand, took 30 or so steamsmith kills. There are Heavy War Golems and a Taskmaster near-by the Steamsmith spawns, so you might want to do the other quest that involves them while you try to get the drops.

EDIT:

And here are some quests that would be good to do along with this one.

https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7723 Quest 1

The Slavers and Taskmasters are all around, including 1 Taskmaster on the far eastern side of the Steamsmith spawns. The Easternmost Camp near this taskmaster also seems to sometimes spawn a taskmaster or Slaver in place of a steamsmith. (Or both.)

https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7729 Quest 2

Quite a few of the mobs for this quest can be found right near the Steamsmiths, to the north.

Okay so, I hadn't been doing the quest for too long, but it was my last quest in this area, so obviously I didn't want to wait for ages for the Tuyere. I read online about this /script LeaveParty() and tried it, but it never worked, I killed about 6 Dwarves. Then I read that smeone tried to click the macro while actually fighting, so I did that and spammed the hell out of it.

It worked ^^ Though I'm pretty sure it was just a coincidence, it was so good to be able to move on :P
