Q1: Fire Hardened Mail

1. Scorched Spider Fang (x50) = Leech/Cave Stalker @ Wetlands (54,64)
2. Charred Horn (x12) = Young/Fledgling Chimaera @ Stonetalon Mountains (33,72)
3. Galvanized Horn = Chimaera Matriarch @ Stonetalon Mountains (33,72)
4. Vial of Phlogiston = Roogug @ Razorfen Kraul (On the first split road, make a left. It should be in a small room.)

Edited my post and fixed the Fledgling -> Matriarch entry. )

Roogug location is as follows:

Right when you enter the instance, Take the first LEFT. It curves around and then goes over a vine "bridge", go OVER the vine bridge. There are about 10 elites that you have to kill and he will be right there on the right. It is really close to the beginning and this is the ONLY way to get there.

I am lvl 30 Warrior and had the help of my friend (lvl 28 Druid). We had no problems getting to and killing Roogug. If you take the RIGHT instead of the LEFT, you are screwed.

Followups after getting the Fire Hardened Mail:

Human: Burning Blood for Fire Hardened Coif
Dwarf & Gnome: Iron Coral for Fire Hardened Gauntlets
Night Elf: Sunscorched Shells for Fire Hardened Leggings

The race tags on the above is just which NPC Furen will send you to after he gives you your armor. The other two NPC's will give you their quest if you locate them manually, so you can get an (almost) full set of Fire Hardened if you are willing to run to them and do their errands.

About Draenei, it seems they don't get a note from Furen to give to one of the other smiths. But the quests should get unlocked anyway. The Human smith is around the corner from Furen so it is a quick check for a curious Draenei.:)

lvl 31 Dwarf Warrior

50 spider fangs = Incendicite Ore dungeon in Wetlands, plus you can get Silver/Tin Ore in there .. took me approximately 35 minutes to farm the Fangs here.

Charred Veil = 13 Horns (12 for horns off the regular Chim's, 1 Galv off of a Matria).&nbsp Stick to the mountain base in the valley to find the matriach .. I saw several while down there killing Horde.

Had potions .. used shield/defensive stance on Roo and his buddies.&nbsp Used defensive stance to lessen damage while I killed one.&nbsp This allowed me long enough to wait on the 1 min timer cool down for potions.&nbsp Finished 2nd Roo fiend off, drank and proceeded to finish Roo last.

<edit> you may not need the item .. but .. I think for the end-game warrior quest, you have to follow the entire path from beginning to end, no? <edit>

Had help in RFM from a lvl60 friend b/c I knew by the time I got to RFM at lvl35, the armor would be obsolete.&nbsp Prefer SM over this place anyway.

The guy who wrote the directions as taking the left fork, then taking the vine bridge, and finding the quest target just past the cauldron was dead on accurate.

Some tips for Alliance:
Pick up Retrieval for Mauren (https://classicdb.ch/quest=1078 6 crystallized scales, as you may be killing these Basilisks that get in your way). He's in one of the curved pathways in the SW mage quarter. Basilisks drop Crystallized Scales you need for this quest. These buggers will probably get in the way, so might as well get this quest. You pass by about 4-5 before you get to the vale, might as well start killing them.

While going thru Windshear Crag, follow the west side and you'll find a hut with a goblin.&nbsp Get the quest Super Reaper 6000 (https://classicdb.ch/quest=1093) and go back to the big stationary machine, climb up and kill the Operators, they should drop the plans. If no, there are other Operators in the area that will. There is a limited supply vendor just north of the goblin hut, he's standing in a crevace and it's easy to miss him. He may have something of use, otherwise you can use him to sell your vendor trash if you are grinding in the area. Turn in the quest back at the hut and get the next quest which you just talk to a goblin near the FP in Ratchet. Since I have you going to Ratchet anyway, might as well get some XP while you're getting your FP (Flight Path).

When you get to the main road outside the Crag, go north to get the FP. Pick up quest Reclaiming The Charred Vale (https://classicdb.ch/quest=1057 while at the peak). It's a harpy grind/kill quest. They'll be getting in your way so you might as well knock out a quest while you are at it.

There may be other quests in the Vale but I don't know/can't remember any. When I first went thru the Vale in my mage, I was wondering why those Chimera weren't part of any quest I had (It's warrior quest target).

The fiery elementals occasionally drop Elemental Fire. So may be worth it to kill them instead of avoid them. The stone elementals may drop elemental earth. I believe these were the first elementals to drop that item.

For Alliance, while you are in the Charred Vale, I recommend to go ahead and run the gauntlet and get your FP to Nigel's Point in Desolace so you don't have to go back thru there. The exit is at the opposite end of the Vale and you're going to be there anyway finding the Matriarch.

From Nigel's Point, fly back to Stonetalon Peak [turn in your quest] then run all the way back south thru Stonetalon Mountains and enter the Barrens from the south exit of Stonetalon Mountains. Run across the Barrens going east, and get your FP for Ratchet. Take the ship across the ocean and get your FP to Booty Bay. Head back to Ratchet and start making your way down to RFM. If you have high level help, they can fly into BB or Ratchet and meet you at RFM.

After flying back to Stonetalon Peak, you get another quest that sends you down into 1K Needles. Once you are done in RFM, go south down the lift into 1K Needles. The Tauren guard chased me on the lift but LOL he fell! By the time I got to the bottom he was miraculously running back up the vertical wall p&nbsp Run NW to the end of 1K needles and turn in the quest [he releases spirits, you get XP], get the FP, sell vendor trash, then back thru 1K Needles, to shimmering flats. Head south and get your FP in Gadgetzan. Yes I do love having my FPs!

Once you get back to Stormwind to pick up your armor, you can also turn in your quest to Mauren.

I like the XP reward, but Kind of disappointed by the armor, I have been using Shining Silver Breastplate 214 armor, +14 STR +6 STA (https://classicdb.ch/item=3502)&nbsp which I had crafted awhile ago. On my server can usu be had for 3G since there's a good oversupply.

I will hang onto it as it's good tanking armor for an instance.

As far as the Spider Fangs in the wetlands, mine the Incendicite Ore as you can turn that in for a quest reward, if you are a miner. The Spider's Silk you get can be auctioned for about 1G per silk [depending on market conditions]! Useful to tailors and leatherworkers. You'll get from 1-6 during the spider part of your quest, don't just vendor this off! It's worth alot more than the higher level Shadow Silk and Thick Spider's Silk, because the drop is so uncommon.

For you miners, there is at least TWO veins of MITHRIL ore. Mine these first, then they will repop as you are questing. One is on the east edge of the Vale, the other is kind of in the middle on a little hill.

You'll find a few iron veins while going thru 1K needles.

I did this whole quest solo at lvl 26 except for roogug. For Roogug I took a lvl 30 and lvl 28 warlock with me into instance and made it to and defeated roogug. Most annoying part of quest was waiting for that stupid Chimeara Montriach to spawn. The instance with Roogug is not that hard but you HAVE to take it slow. Pull one mob at a time and inch your way there. Remember its an instance so you have plenty of time, things shouldnt respawn. You cant, however, get to roogug too quickly. you take a left at fork and then follow path over the vine and you will find him in the dead end to the right.

When you take the left path you will have to go over a pridge of roots and then you will find him. You cant miss him its a deadend.

dont be daunted by the 50 fangs. They have a 100% drop rate and most of the time you will get 2 fangs from one spider.

There are the full rewards for this quest. They are fairly impressive, but you might need quite a bit of help for completing the quest in the first place. The Hauberk is especially impressive, but a Shining Silver Breastplate can be used if you'd rather not brave the dangers of collecting those items. =)

So, I hear a lot of "this armor sucks" and such. Basically, it's the mirror of a Shining Silver Breastplate (The Str and Stam values are flipped). The pro to this is the 1/hour 30 Rage, which, if you're fighting a boss or a small group of enemies, can be very nice. Also, it doesn't use your potion cooldown, so you can still use a healing potion.

This isn't the only item you get for being a 20+ Warrior, though. And I think people fail to see it. After you complete this quest, you talk to Grimand Elmore and he gives you a quest that nets you a Fire Hardened Coif, with (I think) +7 Strength and +8 Stamina (Somewhere in that ballpark). This was the first helmet I got and far better than the other one I saw (Which was +6 Spirit/Stamina, not too useful for a Warrior aside from the Stam). Then, after completing that quest, there's a guy in Ironforge in the Gnome area (Where you get all the Gnomer quests) who gives you a third quest which nets you new gloves with +6 Str/Stam. All in all, just from the quests (Not counting all the kills from mobs/etc) I think I got 15 or 20k in XP for doing all 3 quests, not to mention far better gear than I had before.

Just finished this quest, and I gotta say that Razorfen was the hardest part. There are many high level mobs in the way, 25+ to 28+. The one you have to kill, Roogug, is near the end of the instanced dungeon. He's a regular level 28, fairly easy to kill. I only managed to get to him thanks to the help of a level 42 warrior.

Razorfen Kraul, by the way, is in the southern tip of The Barrens. It is an instanced cave.
