A Shifty Merchant

Search for an imp inside a cave at the entrance of Darkwhisper Gorge in southern Winterspring, purchase a Fel Elemental Rod and return to Mux Manascrambler in Gadgetzan.
Fel Elemental Rod

Description

The core will provide us with enough juice to power our device; now we just have to build a rod that can channel that energy without melting.

I met an imp in Winterspring that sold all manner of exotic goods. He had an elemental rod that would do perfectly. I'm kicking myself in the head right now for not having bought it.

He lives inside a cave in the entrance to Darkwhisper Gorge. Sneak in there and try to find him.

Make sure he only charges you forty gold; that's the price he quoted me!

Progress

Have you had any luck finding the imp in Darkwhisper Gorge?

Completion

You did it! This rod will do perfectly. Now to put it all together...

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 330 experience (19 80 at max. level)

In case you don't have a coordinates mod, keep following the rod south, don't get off the road and go down, the cave is across the bridge and a little further into the ""dark"" area. Any sneaky class should be able to get the rod easily. just got this only cost me 40 gold and I had the quest as of 23-06-06 very easy.

For this quest you dont really have to bother killing anything. Just run around the elites... I feared the guard outside the imps cave, and bought the rod and then ran :-)

As you go under the bridge, look right and you should see a ramp leading up to the cave where the imp can be found.

The name of the imp is Vi'el (https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=16015 https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=16015) and you'll find him at 56,74. I was able to hug the right side as soon as I entered the area and it led me right to him.

Also, I accidentially pulled a large demon, but continued to run to Vi'el. The demon left once I was past the Imp.

I'm kicking myself in the head right now for not having bought it.Much like anyone doing this quest is kicking themselves in the head for not having bought this when they were in Winterspring no more than an hour ago, just to be sent back again...

If you are having trouble finding the merchant. Set your mini map tracker to Reagents and Vi'el(name of merchant) will show when you get in the area. You can see his cave right when you walk up to the 2 Hederine Slayer gaurds. It's right at the opening.
