I found this elsewhere. I found it very helpful.

"Smoky Iron Ingots:

&nbsp - These drop off of the Windshear Kobolds in the Stonetalon Mountains. The mine is on the eastern part of the map, to the south east of Venture Company HQ. The highest rate of drops came from the diggers, but they all dropped them quickly. The Kobolds are in the 22-24 range, and once you get in the mine, they will sometimes group up into 2-4 total. At level 30, they were easy, but if you are lower, bring a friend. It took me about 10 minutes to get all the ingots.

Flogiston:

- This drops off of Roogug in Razorfen Krawl. Razorfen Krawl is located at the very southern end of the Barrens near the Great Lift. The Great DGDough's location description is perfect, and you shouldn't have any trouble finding him if you go that route. He is a 28 elite and will have a Shaman and Warrior with him. Also has a pet, all elite. To get to him, you have to fight through several 25-27 elites also. If you are high enough, you may be able to pick your way through to him, but it would be tough. I tried it with a 32 Warrior because I have had trouble getting a group to go to that part of the dungeon, and got to Roogug and couldn't kill him because all the mobs pull at the same time. As a side note, lots of mining veins in there and I also found some Fadeleaf and tons of Briarthorn. This is probably the hardest part of the quest because you need a group willing to kill this guy unless you level enough to solo it, and then the armor would not be worth it.

Powdered Azurite:

- This drops off of Hillsbrad Miners in the southwestern portion of Hillsbrad. The miners are all 25-28 in level and there are some wandering Foremen in the area. At 32, it was easy to solo. Only had one close call with a boss foreman (30: non-elite) who summoned a pet and another foreman to help. It took about 30 minutes to go through the mine and collect the 10 pieces of Azurite.

Iron Bars

- Easy. Either mine it or buy it from the AH.

That is it, hopefully it helps anyone who wants to do the quest. The other bonus to the quest is you get over 6000 xp for completing it (at level 34) and the other three armor quests unlock, which are significantly easier than this. "

This leads to four additional quests where you get the actual pieces of Brutal Armor:

- Ula'elek and the Brutal Gauntlets (https://classicdb.ch/?quest=1839)
- Brutal Hauberk (https://classicdb.ch/?quest=1848)
- Velora Nitely and the Brutal Legguards (https://classicdb.ch/?quest=1841)
- Orm Stonehoof and the Brutal Helm (https://classicdb.ch/?quest=1840)

If you want to get some of this armor right away, you will need someone to run you through some of the stuff.

Smokey Iron Ingot - (74,60) Stonetalon Mountains, kill any of the kobolds in the mine. YOu can do this alone at levels 20-22.
Powdered Azurite - (32,53) Hillsbrad Foothills, kill the hillsbrad miners. You will need some help if you want to do this right away.
Iron Bar - (AH) Most likely you will buy these becuase your mining won't be high enough at level 20.
Vial of Phlogiston - (Razorfen Kraul) Kill Roogug. Take the first left in RFK and go across the vine and he's right there. You need someone to run you through.

Here's a fairly detailed walkthrough for the quest for those who need it.

Just finished this quest as a lvl 23 warrior! I had a full group of people to help out with the quest boy was RFK the hard part!

BTW there are no horns just the iron nuggets 10 iron bars and that az powdered

You can find RFK by going WAY south to the barrens. Right before the great lift bang a right (you will see brambles). That leads to RFK there is another RFsomething dungeon to the right.

roogug spawns down the left path.
Go down the left path and then over that vine bridge. clear out the room with the cauldren and he is in the next room to your right!
Sweet armor for the level!

Also opens up 3 more quest! one for a helmet one for a bracer and one for a pair of leggins! all lvl 30!
