The Shieldsmith

Bring the Cask of Scalder to Furen Longbeard.
Cask of Scalder
Provided Item:
Cask of Scalder

Description

You really showed what you were made of when you ran the Rethban Gauntlet, <name>. And I'm true to my word. I'll get you the reward I promised...

Except it's in Stormwind.

Talk to my friend, Furen Longbeard, in the Dwarven District of Stormwind. He's the best shieldsmith you'll ever meet, and he owes me a big favor.

Here, take Furen this cask of Barleybrew Scalder and ask him for a shield. He'll give you a nice one.

The shield is bind on pickup, and the quest is Warrior only.

Abandon the quest and get it again if you fail.

This shield as reward sucks really bad, you get better shield from AH for low cost and much better.
This reward could be at least a rare with nice tanking stats, as +defence or +stamina.

the shield for this quest isn't even as good as the Arctic buckler from a quest in BFD - granted you need to get some help to get the quest and the shield in Darnassus BUT the following quest for the fire hardened hauberk is well worth the effort. Especially for twink warriors in 20-29.

I completed the Rethban Gauntlet some time ago, but Barleybrew did not - and does not - offer me the next quest in the series, so I'm stuck.&nbsp Does this quest series still exist?

Yup, this shield is craptacular. I'm glad I looked @ the reward before actually doing the quest.

It is worth doing because the next quest he gives you lets you get a fire hardened hauberk (favored mail for twinked warriors)
