They drop from Iron Thunderguard (and probably other Iron Horde) in Bones of Agurak. Drop rate? Killed around 10-12 of the types available there and they dropped from two guards, first 2 then 3.

Comment by Daiemio

AS OF BUILD 18918 THIS QUEST WILL EAT MORE THEN 5 SCRAPS OF IRON IN YOUR INVENTORY, IT WILL CONSUME ALL OF THEM, so if you intend to get the shiny horde alliance tabard, turn in 5 first, then farm the rest you need, else you will lose a good 150 like I did just for a %^&*ty tabard..

Comment by mythinc

how are you supposed to get there? run through the high lvl areas?

Comment by siasha

If you check out Iron Horde Scraps, the best place for these to drop is in WoD dungeons.

Comment by Neifel

Got these from killing Iron Guards at Ironfist Harbor in southwest Nagrand.

Drop rate seemed to vary where I would sometimes get 2-3 Iron Horde Scraps from a single Iron Guard and other times none from pulling several of them.

According to Wowhead the drop rate is around 23% from Iron Guards.

Comment by steel108

Have been killing mobs in Ironfist Harbor for the past 25 minutes;haven't had one drop yet? Is it bugged?

Comment by Lynixai

These will drop from any Iron Horde mob as far as I'm aware, do note though: THE DROP RATE IS FAR FROM PEOPLE SAY.

I know it's still early, so the droprates are going to be off by a bit, but the comments so far have stated that a few mobs should be enough to get you what you need. That is not the case unless you're extremely lucky.

From what I've seen these are maybe at ~5% drop.

I was farming at the Ironfist Harbor down in southern Nagrand and I killed maybe 150 mobs or more before I got just the 5 needed for this.

As a side note: I was farming these down by the actual dock part of it. As a frost mage I could pull quite a few mobs and AoE them down with Images and Elemental tanking them. I got quite low at times, and you should be aware of the ranged mobs Iron Arbalester. You can LoS them via the small bump and the pillars though.

Happy farming

Comment by sharrii

had great success at he bonus mission point at Oruani Coast 15 mins of doing quest objectives and done

Comment by HughWattmate

Ironfist Harbor - Nagrand (South-West) Location: 41.05, 77.00 around where the key drops for Goldmane and the bonus objective is. This is where you will get them quick i managed 5 just from camp near tower.

Comment by 1295592

I tried the ironfist harbor killed about 10 mobs and got 6 right away, in about 1 min.
Strongly suggest farming there.

Comment by dipiddy

Dropping from non-Iron Horde heroic 5 man mobs and bosses since the hotfix for Gorgrond cave spawns.

Comment by 1403387

I play alliance and I got 5 scraps in 2 seconds.
I went to an area south of the alliance flight path in Frostfire Ridge.
Killed 3 mobs got 5 scraps.

It seems that the quest no longer consumes all your iron scraps, when turning it it. :D

Comment by 1394645

You thought the grind for Emperor Shaohao rep was bad, this isn't too far off

Comment by 616569

Confirmed, while the quest lists Frostfire Ridge, you do not have to be there to obtain these. I was getting them off of Peons in Mor'Gran Logworks in Talador. The drop rate wasn't the greatest, but you can get em. Actually let me edit this, the drop rate down right sucks, about 10-15 minutes later and I have obtained only 3.

Comment by jeffala

I got lucky with a cave in Gorgrond (42.77x44..41). Lots of Grom'kar Grunts inside.

Comment by 1410346

I rarely post on here but I was so frustrated with this quest until I figured out where to farm these. Darktide Roost - Island located at the most south point part of Shadowmoon Valley.

There are tons of trashmobs all over the island an the drop rate is excellent. I got 4 scraps in under 5 minutes.

Comment by 629182

I'm not sure if I am in the right place or maybe don't know what Iron Horde is? I was in the zone where Frostfire ridge is for 4 hours and cleaned out several areas. No drops. I tried questing in nagrand, just to let the game send me around killing stuff and no drops. In wow I normally expect a drop at least by the 20th kills so something is pretty wrong here.

And get rid of the captcha here. It is pretty useless also. You are using the bad type of captcha. Most of the words are barely legible.

Comment by 1068066

I'm not sure about the drop rate on this. I went in and killed 10 Iron Thunderguard and got nothing. I just abandoned the quest at that point. I've got better things to do.

Comment by 1400053

I got 2 Iron Horde Scraps from the Skyreach dungeon and the rest I looted from Grom'Kar mobs in Talador. Location is easy to find. Just fly to Fort Wrynn, Talador and head North towards the gates leading to Gorgond. . They are level 100 mobs and can be easy to aggro so be careful. I brought a bodyguard with me which helped. I can't comment fully on the drop rates since I only needed a few for my quest. But within 35 minutes I got the 3 that I needed. Good luck and I hope this helps.

NOTE: I submitted a screenshot for further clarification of where the mobs are located. Hopefully the mods approve it. If they don't, I'm sorry!

Comment by 1411057

So I was farming scraps down Ironfist Harbor. The drop rate was very low indeed. Then i went in the big castle where I found in the basement two Iron Treasure Guardians. I've killed about 4-5 of them and i got 6 scraps.

Comment by 626883

After searching the entirety of Frostfire Ridge, killing countless mobs that are affiliated with Iron Horde, no drops. Tried all the places other people listed in Shadowmoon Valley, no drops period. In fact, most of THOSE orcs had no loot whatsoever.

When I went to Fort Wrynn however, and went north to the orc stronghold there--Bladefury's Command. In 7 kills I had the 5 scraps.

Grom'kar Bulwarks and Grom'kar Punishers had the better drop rate, but I got 3 scraps off my last solo mob Grom'kar Blademaster.

Being a DPS, the instance ques threw me into instances only once every hour to two hours--and none of them had Iron Horde in their runs. So I cannot confirm or deny the scraps drop there. Hope this helps!

Comment by Peter4730

FROSTFIRE RIDGE? Has nobody wondered why this quest is listed under Frostfire Ridge in the quest log (well, it is in my quest log)? Seems it has NOTHING to do with Frostfire Ridge. I have been all over FF Ridge and didn't see any Iron Horde! (But I had to do FF Ridge anyway, to get the Exploration Achmt, so that was OK). But, why is this listed under FF Ridge ?

Comment by MisterRik

Soooo ... I get this quest at level 91, as an Alliance character still in Shadowmoon, but I can't actually do the quest until I can fight my way through Gorgrond and find my way into Frostfire?

Sounds legit.

Comment by nexos10

As of the latest hotfix: "Iron Cannoneers no longer drop Iron Horde Scraps."

Comment by Ringthane

So this quest is a joke by Blizzard, right? It has to be. I've been to Ironfist Harbor twice now in two days, and I have a whopping two scraps. I've tried the towers, I've tried the docks, I've tried everything.

This quest has the worst drop rate in WoW. And this is coming from someone who's been playing since before AQ opened. I've killed countless animals that don't have heads, skins, and livers. I slogged through the worg tail grind in BC. So I know when a drop rate is ridiculously screwed up.

Comment by Faidtherogue

Can confirm that the droprate isn't too abysmal in Bladefury's Command (69 5) north in talador. Got 6 of them in about 8 minutes. Agurak's fall south of the alliance flight path in frostfire ridge was awful for me. Didn't get a single one in 10 minutes there.

Comment by Caikems

Got mine @ nagrand docks officially at 11/30 iron horde slain for the bonus objective. Took no time at all.

Comment by 164820

I tried farming these in the large pathway north of Fort Wrynn for 10min and got nothing.
Then I moved over to the smaller pathway into the fortress to the North-West (left) of there, and got all 5 scraps in about 5min.
Good luck!

Comment by Stargazer777

You can get all 5 of these in Skyreach normal dungeon (don't need heroic). The highest drop rate off mobs is in Talador - 47-49% drop.

Comment by 739899

Orunai Coast in Talador

6 shards in 10 minutes and the mobs are a doddle, and plentiful with a fast re-spawn

Comment by harristl

For those of you just looking for 5 Iron Horde Scraps for the Scraps of Iron quest. . .

1. Fly to the Redemption Rise FP in Talador (63,25).
2. Turn left coming out of the FP and head north on the road to the Burning Blade Citadel (67,7).
3. Kill everyone you see. . .should take approx. 10-20 kills to get 5 Iron Horde Scraps.

Good luck!

Comment by 1413884

Farmed these at the ironfist harbor took about 35 min. On my way out after getting all 5 ran into small mob and they dropped 3 scraps so really I got 5 to drop in about 2 min but the first three took about 30 min. Guess it's just luck.

Comment by Narinae

You can just wait and get the iron scraps out of your work orders.

Comment by angelbennett92

I got mine within 10 minutes. I went to Ironfist Harbor in Nagrand. Fly to Nivek's Outlook and go west.

Comment by 1468196

Iron Seigeworks (85, 59 in Frostfire Ridge) is where I farmed them. It took about 3 dozen kills.

I don't think you can pick up more then 5 while this quest is active now. As I tried for about another 20 minutes and couldn't get anymore to drop.

I tried farming in Nagrand and Gorgrond and it seems like they don't drop there while you are on the quest. I was killing Iron Horde in both locations for about 10 minutes each and no luck on any drops.

Since this is just another building introduction/tutorial quest, it'd be nice if the drop rate was temporarily buffed until you complete it. I did an entire quest chain (Alliance, Shadowmoon Valley) revolving around one of the clans, killed a few dozen enemies and came out with only three scraps.

Thankfully, I didn't build the bunker for the transmog gear...

Comment by 1536727

I found that the easiest way to get the scraps is to use the dungeon finder. All of the WoD bosses can drop about 3-10 scraps, with a very good drop chance. They also drop the Ravaged items as well. I've already farmed the Helm, Shoulders, and shield in about 2 days from dungeons.

Comment by LIONESS9000

I'm posting to help those, like me, who have had problems with this quest.

I've gone to all the places listed in various websites, and 'given up' between 35-55 mins later. I've given each zone a fair chance - music on, prepared to grind etc.

In the end, I abandoned the quest, took it from the NPC again and set off anew. Again, I flew first to Redemption Rise in Talador, then flew north-east to 67,7 and began killing everyone there.

Tadaa! 18 kills and my first scrap dropped. So, if you're pulling out your hair, abandon the quest, re-take it, and try this zone.

Good luck :)

Comment by Patwan

This is no longer a viable place for scraps of iron, go to Iron siege works in Frostier ridge (85.4 59.4).

Comment by BerekHalfhand

Hello,

I just completed this quest this morning and it took about 15-20 minutes of killing everything. Used the provided coords.

Comment by cornishninja

For my "just dinged" level 100 mage, I went to Bladefury's Command (approx co-ords: 67, 7) in Talador, and found it only took around 10 minutes to get all 5 from the orcs there. These orcs are level 100 (non-elite) and are often grouped.

Going slightly off-topic, if you also have the Trading Post building in your garrison (assuming you're Alliance), and have access to the Sha'tari Defense faction, Bladefury's Command is a good place to farm rep.

Comment by Gwez

If you don't want to go farm the Iron Horde Scraps you can just level your Dwarven Bunker / War Mill Level 2 to Dwarven Bunker / War Mill Level 3 and give the corresponding NPC enough Garrison Resources so you can loot them from the work orders in 6 hours (plus the one needed to contruct the building).

Comment by JesiMcCoy

Another good spot to farm these is Ironhold Harbor in Tanaan Jungle. Plenty of mobs, easy to group, quick respawn.

Comment by wowogamer

The dungeon Shadowmoon Burial Grounds in Shadowmoon Valley is a good place to farm Scraps of Iron. I got all 5 scraps from killing mobs on my way to the first boss + the first boss itself. I got 3 scraps from the small spiders and 5 scraps from the first boss. Took 5 minutes max.
