The drop rate for the embers in this quest are stupidly rare... Be prepared to run around killing a bunch of fire elementals, which in themselves are a pain to kill due to being spread around with all the harpies :

Droprate is indeed very bad.

Drop rate for me was about 25% but its a good grinding quest and the rep reward is nice

you can pair this quest up with Retrieval for Mauren, as both the basilisks and elementals are located in the charred valley

This quest becomes avaliable after completing the quests given by Gaxim Rustfizzle (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=4077), ie.:
An Old Colleague (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1072) and Ineptitude + Chemicals = Fun;
and A Scroll from Mauren (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1075) and Devils in Westfall.
They are very quick to do. In the 1st you just need to buy 4 minor manas and 2 elixirs of minor fortitude (or make it), in the 2nd kill 1, maybe 2 Dust Devils in Wesfall.
Then you get the Covert Ops quests (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1079 and http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1080 ); after completing them Gaxim tells you to talk to Kaela, which unlocks the quest.

I don't get it, how do i get this quest? I've done 'an old colleague' and the devils in westfall quests, yet she still wont talk to me.

Comment by Kaelon

The general notion that the drop rate on the Smoldering Embers is low is right on the mark; it's less than one in five kills (20%); but more ridiculous is the fact that there are very few fire elementals in the zone, most of them wandering along the periphery. It took me more than four full clearings to get my eight.

As a high level hunter with mining/engineering I used to farm in charred vale for mithril a lot. I came across tons of these fire elementals during these farm runs. However, as soon as I picked up this quest (to gain gnomeregan exile rep) the number of fire elementals seemed to drop, A LOT! It seems if you aren't looking for them (or they aren't in your quest log) they are everywhere, but if you are, they are no where to be found. Makes the low drop rate even more of a pain in the butt.

Edit: You dont get gnomeregan rep for this quest, you get ironforge rep, WOWHEAD WAS WRONG! What a waste of time!

Counts towards the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement.

If you can get out of Stonetalon without doing this quest, you will be saved a headache. These mobs spawn around 1 out of every 20 surrounding mobs and the drop is only about 1 out of 4. Best of luck to you.

Kill all the mobs around. They are on the same respawn timer with the fire elementals.

Comment by SirPosty

Go along the southern perimeter, from π to 2π for those so inclined, and kill every basilisk and earth elemental along with the Burning Destroyers. I doubt they share their cooldown timer with the harpies, so just skip them.

Bring 8 Smoldering Embers from any of the fire elementals in the Charred Vale to Kaela Shadowspear in Stonetalon.

	Smoldering Embers (8)

Description

I'm unsure what the Venture Co. did to the Vale, but it's obvious they were overpowered by the creatures there.

They set the forest aflame, and used their inventions of destruction to decimate as much of the Vale as possible.

But in their ignorance they also released something else: burning spirits, elementals of flame, stone and rage.

The land has no chance to see Elune's smile while these creatures roam free.

Bring me their smoldering embers to show you've reduced their numbers.
