You can complete this quest by joining someone's raid group that has already killed Iron Maidens, the lootable box is still there

Comment by Cropz

~~You don't actually have to defeat the Iron Maidens in order to loot the quest item, the clickable box is always available.~~

Hotfixed on 6.1, box is now found outside the arena on the right side, after the boss is defeated.

DEAD DOVE
Do Not Eat!

Comment by BrightBrown

Might have been nice of the tooltip would have said the box can be found after the Iron Maidens fight!

How can you get ! Reverse Piracy ?

After beating Kromog in The Black Forge raid, I can see Dead Grotto and the quest item on the map, but I can't get there.

Comment by Eillesthis

If you're trying this in LFR, you want the Iron Assembly queue.

The quest item was moved from within the boss area and is now next to the boss area with the huge boxes.

Comment by dillybar

Wasn't able to loot this today in a normal run, assuming it was because I had done LFR earlier in the week and forgot to loot it, but it didn't show up in the normal run. Will try again next week and see if that was the case.

Comment by Donell

This item needs to be looted manually

Comment by cephadex

At the time of this posting, the item you want is not at the location currently shown on the map for the quest; here's a screenshot showing where I was on the map when I stood near the item (86.7, 38.4); you'll notice the number "2" is where the map currently shows the item supposedly is, which is wrong.

To clarify, it is located near (but not exactly IN) the area where you fight the Iron Maidens, in the Iron Assembly portion of Blackrock Foundry. It can be done on LFR.

Here's another screenshot, showing what the item and the area around it look like. Hope this helps.

Edit: I read on here that supposedly the box does not show up until after you have fought the Iron Maidens; this may be true, I don't know because I only looked for it after the fight was over.

Assuming you have TomTom, /way 87.4 38.9 once you're on the right floor.
Or just look at this map.

Comment by BlizzardCS

We’re receiving reports from players saying that they can’t complete Reverse Piracy. Don’t worry, the quest is not bugged and you can complete it: what happens is that the blue mark on the mini map is not showing the correct place where the chest is right now. After the encounter you’ll be able to find the Stolen Sha'tari Vault to the south of the arena, near a corner. If you have the Outline mode activated, you’ll be able to see it much easier. :)

<Reverently, Khadgar opens your pack and looks inside. His face remains motionless for a long time. Finally, he speaks:>

...I don't know what I expected.

Well, I did write "DEAD DOVE Do Not Eat" on the pack...

I ran foundry several times, never saw this once drop
this item doesnt exist

Comment by Bluebay

You NEED to kill the last boss first, then you will be able to see the box.

Comment by jnqbus

If you have the quest tracked, do not get mislead while being in other queues - there is no way to get there in the three other LFR wings. Only Iron Assembly is viable.

Comment by Soliptic

I am showing an exclamation mark on my map in Tanan for this quest at 18, 78.

I see no way to get to this. I have tried both from the north, through Tanan, and from the south by swimming around. Neither route allows me to get to this marker.

What am I doing wrong?

Comment by patriknashnl

Got to run Iron Assembly. The quest item is just near the last boss, Iron Maidens.

Comment by hannibalektr

Our raid had killed all the bosses but the gate was closed to the area where the quest item was located. I am surprised no one else has mentioned this in comments. Two others were stuck with me unable to get in.

Anyone know a reason for this or a workaround?

Reverse Piracy

Acquire the Draenic Thaumaturgical Orb from the Dread Grotto in the Blackrock Foundry.

	Draenic Thaumaturgical Orb (1)

Description

<name>, during the attack on Karabor Iron Horde dreadnaughts looted or sank most of the draenei eastern fleet. A priceless artifact was captured: A genuine Draenic Thaumaturgical Orb.

I must have it! Those orcs don't know what they've got!

My sources indicate that the orb was aboard a ship that's being retrofitted down in the Dread Grotto beneath the Blackrock Foundry. Search the ship and the area nearby for the Sha'tari Vault that contained the orb. We've got to get it back!
