The residue only drops from mobs in BRD, but if nobody else in your group is running for Thorium B rep, then you can amass a large amount of this stuff in no time at all.

On Black Dragonflight server it sells in AH for a little over 1s per residue.

....yes saving 10 stacks is a pain in the arse, especially if you are tight on bank space.

Ok, so, u got to be at least FRIENDLY to The Thorium Brotherhood to be able to deliver this quest!

And oh, get urself a good macro script to right click the npc, click the quest and accept it. cuz I had to do it manualy and that was a pain in the ass!!!

If I see Burninate's heiny wave in my face one more time, I'll explode. Rewards unchanged in patch 2.3.

Just got to 0/12000 Honored a minute ago. I just wanted to come here and tell you guys that it took me about 5 minutes and 42 seconds to spam the npc for returning these. Here's how to do it if you have all the 960 (as mentioned above) residues:

1. Get an addon that has an ""auto-complete quest"" feature (you just need to click the quest name and it clicks ""Complete quest"" for you automatically).
2. Zoom your camera all the way in to 1st person view (could be done without zooming if postioned right I guess, but I did it like this).
3. Walk next to the NPC and position the camera right, so you can click both the NPC and the quest name in the gossip window without moving your mouse.
4. Right-click the NPC so the gossip window opens, then left-click the quest name and the addon completes it for you.
5. Repeat step 4 unti Honored. :)

Hope this helps someone doing this silly thing faster. I think they really should fine-tune the quest a bit and make the amount of residue delivered at once larger, but meh... doubt they ever will.

your fingers will cry if you dont spam this macro. I learned it the hard way

/script SelectGossipAvailableQuest(1)
/script CompleteQuest()
/script GetQuestReward()

I see no mention of the X100 residue option. I'm assuming it is new with the patch but basically it reads like the old quest but you can drop 100 residue at a time for 625 rep. Seems there is no rep penalty for turning in by stacks of 100 instead of by stacks of 4.

Thanks Blizz, for updating that quest!

If there is some prequalifiing information i left out, please add to this post, but it seems that this option has just showed up in the last few days so i figure it was a patch update.

Does not count towards https://vanillawowdb.com/?achievement=1676 Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms achievement.

This quest gives 625 rep, not the 25 rep WoWHead says.

This quest now gives 1500 reputation (1650 if your character is human like mine)

Just confirmed that you can turn 4 dark iron residue in or 100 dark iron residue. Additionally, it is repeatable until max exalted. I did not see the quests show up however until I finish the chain that ended with the quest: ""From Whence he came"". Once that quest was turned in it gave the follow up quest ""Welcome to the brotherhood"". Master Smith Burninate is the one who has the quest btw.

The quest giver won't show this quest until you complete Searing Gorge quests which ends with ""Welcome to the Brotherhood"". Then you can turn in Dark Iron Residue again.

The quests alone give nice rep & you can turn in Residue through Revered now which saves from running into BRD if you got residue already
