After this quest is done you get the quest "Odyn's Blessing" to run Halls of Valor to offer a feast (quest item you get when you get the quest) to get "Mark of the Valorous"= 12k artifact power (on artifact knowledge 11).
DON'T run on heroic though like it ! This doesn't count and you can't use the item. Do it on MYTHIC!

Preceding quest - The Mark and A Feast Fit for Odyn
Succeeding quest - Halls of Valor: Odyn's Blessing

Comment by Bizilica

The 4 Adamantium Casing Scraps you need are located around the last boss (Dargrul the Underking in Neltharion's Lair), you can pick them up after you killed the boss, no need to kill extra trash or something.

Comment by keenkangaroo

This quest refused to give me credit on Mythic+2 and +5.
I had already run it on mythic +0 and thought it wouldn't give me credit.
It actually did give me credit.

Comment by Sixamenh

Anyone knows if you can do it if you are already saved to mythic?

Comment by mange3

More than one person can loot Adamantium Casing Scraps, so no need to be greedy :)

Comment by Beachentle

Did my first run for this, picked up all scraps and only got 1/4 credit. Did a second run and no scraps were available, still 1/4. Abandoned quest and did third run still finding no scraps. Anybody else have this issue? Just waiting for Blizzard to respond.

Comment by TaiZia

Went through the dungeon on Mythic+ and did not get any scraps.

Comment by Nasroth

Easiest way to turn in this quest, run out the rear exit of the dungeon, walk to the edge of the cliff, position yourself correctly and use Emerald Winds! You'll land directly on the quest giver!

Introduction
This quest is part of a comment-size guide for "Balance of Power." questline. Quests are pretty much self-explanatory and all it takes is some time and good will to complete them. Completing this questline rewards Artifact Appearance (Appearance 3, Tint 1).

Part 1
Image of Kalec appears in your Order Hall and gives you the following quest:
The Power Within (Meet Archmage Kalec at Azurewing Repose in Azsuna.)
Reasons behind appearance of Archmage Kalec in your Class Order Hall are not yet completely understood but most people noticed him few days after they completed their Class Campaign.

Part 2
From there you take a next quest from Senegos:
The Heart of Zin-Azshari (Retrieve the Heart of Zin-Azshari and defeat the Wrath of Azshara in the Eye of Azshara on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 3
After completing the previous quests you receive a few new quests (exactly 3: two from Senegos and one from Archmage Kalec).
Senegos:
A Vainglorious Past (Obtain a Vainglorious Draught from Veridis Fallon.)
- You can purchase Vainglorious Draught from Veridis Fallon in Crumbled Palace in Azsuna for 150g (Requirement: Court of Farondis - Honored).

Fallen Power (Recover a Corrupted Essence from Oakheart and defeat the Shade of Xavius in Darkheart Thicket on Mythic difficulty.)

Archmage Kalec:
Tempering Darkness (Obtain 30 Blood of Sargeras.)
Should not be a problem since by the time you get that quest and if you did not spend any Blood of Sargeras you should have some stacked up simply by completing Dungeons and World Quests.

Part 4
Archmage Kalec:
Lucid Strength (Absorb the power from the Corrupted Essence using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)
Right next to you.

Part 5
Senegos:
The Wisdom of Patience (Await the opening of The Emerald Nightmare, then report back to Senegos in Azsuna.)

Part 6
Archmage Kalec:
In Nightmares (Obtain a Deathglare Iris and the Horn of the Nightmare Lord from The Emerald Nightmare.) NOTE: NOT doable with LFR. It has to be Normal difficulty or higher. In order to complete this quest you need to kill 2 bosses: Il'gynoth and Xavius and loot mentioned quest items.

Senegos:
Essence of Power (Collect 30 Corrupted Essence from The Emerald Nightmare.) This quest gave me a weird WoD and Khadgar flashback. NOT doable with LFR. Only Normal or higher difficulty. Essences ~~do not~~ have a 100% drop rate and bosses can drop 1-2 3 Corrupted Essences at the time.

Part 7
Senegos:
Essential Consumption (Absorb the combined power of the Corrupted Essences using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)
Right next to you.

Part 8
Archmage Kalec:
Repaid Debt (Meet Archmage Kalec in the Shal'Aran in Suramar.)

Part 9
Thalrenus Rivertree:
Lost Knowledge (Obtain the Scroll of Elun'dris from First Arcanist Thalyssra.)
- Costs 120g. Requirement: The Nightfallen - Revered).

Part 10
Thalrenus Rivertree:
Borrowing Without Asking (Recover a Containment Crystal from the Vault of the Wardens on Mythic difficulty.)

Syrana Starweaver:
Rite of the Captain (Take Advisor Vandros' Eon Winder from The Arcway on Mythic difficulty.)

Lothrius Mooncaller:
Literary Perfection (Find Lothrius' first edition copy of "Wards, Sigils, and the Nightborne Way" in the Court of Stars on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 11
Syrana Starweaver:
Twisted Power (Use a Greater Portal Stone to summon Vizuul the Twisted at the Altar of End Times in Faronaar and collect his runebindings.)

Part 12
Syrana Starweaver:
A True Test (Absorb the power from the Twisted Runebindings using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)
Right next to you.

Part 13
Archmage Kalec:
Seeking the Valkyra (Seek out Ashildir at the Vault of Eyir in Stormheim.)

Part 14
Ashildir:
The Mark (Prove your worth to the Valarjar, then receive the Mark of the Valkyra from Eyir.)

Part 15
Ashildir:
Retrieving the Svalnguard (Retrieve the Svalnguard and defeat Helya in the Maw of Souls on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 16
Ashildir:
A Feast Fit for Odyn (Acquire flank meat from Thunderhoof in Stormheim, Spinesever's spine in Highmountain, and a steak from Leytusk in Azsuna.)

Presentation is Key (Retrieve 4 Adamantium Casing Scraps and defeat Dargrul the Underking in Neltharion's Lair on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 17
Ashildir:
Odyn's Blessing (Obtain Odyn's blessing in the Halls of Valor on ~~Heroic or~~ Mythic difficulty.)
- Use Grand Feast of Valhallas when you enter the dungeon - at the start. You can enter the dungeon alone, put the feast down, get out and then get a group to defeat Odyn and get his blessing. After you defeat him wait for him to finish his speech (RP) and then you can collect his blessing on the loot chest.

Part 18
Archmage Kalec:
Planning the Assault (Await the opening of the Nighthold, then meet Archmage Kalec in Shal'Aran.)

Part 19
Archmage Kalec:
Into the Nighthold (Collect 20 Nightshards from the Nighthold on Normal difficulty or higher.)
- Try and complete this quest without killing Gul'dan because if you kill him before acquiring The Nighthold: Darkness Calls quest in Part 20 he won't drop quest item for you this week and you'll need to wait for a next reset to complete The Nighthold: Darkness Calls quest in Part 20.

Thalrenus Rivertree:
The Nighthold: Delusions of Grandeur (Collect the core of Trilliax and Grand Magistrix Elisande's Millennia Tome in the Nighthold on Normal difficulty or higher.)

Part 20
Archmage Kalec:
The Nighthold: Darkness Calls (Bring one Gul'dan's eyes to Archmage Kalec on Normal difficulty or higher.)

Part 21
Archmage Kalec:
Balance of Power (Absorb the combined power of the Nightshards and the Eye of Gul'dan using the Heart of Zin-Azshari at the Lunar Crucible.)

Congratulations on completing this questline and acquiring new Artifact Appearance. Enjoy!
Foxies, out.

Got 3/4 scraps before my group disbanded, after that became unable to loot the remaining scrap. The lootwindow would remain empty/close itself instantly. Running back into the completed instance after I got ported out of the dungeon fixed the issue and I was able to loot the remaining scrap just fine.

Comment by cephadex

"...you may know the infernal drake better as Deathwing" - Drake? Doesn't the term 'drake' refer to a dragon at a less mature developmental stage, where the mature stage is called a wyrm? (ie, whelp --> drake --> wyrm)?

Comment by AzraelTHorn

I've just learned the hard way that this quest is not doable on any mythic +1 or higher dungeon. Very silly. I took some time off of WoW and I'm just now coming back pre-BFA to knock some of these quests out. Mythic+ were the only groups available, unfortunately.

Comment by Luciferkain

I've just soled "Neltharion's Lair: Presentation is Key" on Mythic and the quest item (4 Adamantium Casing Scraps) are not there. How do I get them?

Comment by wolframwow

Can be done in parallel with A Feast Fit for Odyn
Scraps are looted inside the boss arena (scattered on the ground)

Comment by Zesar75

If you are like me, and ran the dungeon finished it and saw nothing, check your raid lockout. I have my dungeons to Mythic however the lockout said Heroic. I just switched the Dungeon difficulty setting back from Mythic to Heroic and back to Mythic. At the arena of the last boss the items showed up.

Links

Neltharion's Lair: Presentation is Key

Retrieve 4 Adamantium Casing Scraps and defeat Dargrul the Underking in Neltharion's Lair on Mythic difficulty.

	Adamantium Casing Scrap (4)
	Defeat Dargrul the Underking (1)
	Suggested players: 5 (1)

Description

Odyn will demand a feast worthy of the ancient trials you must complete; a feast's merit begins not at the great beasts piled upon it, but at the dish used to serve it.

Deep beneath Highmountain lies the former lair of Neltharion - you may know the infernal drake better as Deathwing. You will find remnants of the adamantium plating used to hold his molten skin together in the deepest recesses of his lair.

They will form a fine dish for the feast.
