One of six questlines offered by Harrison Jones in your Garrison and just one of the steps needed to add him as a follower in Patch 6.1. Here's a post and video detailing the quest chain.

Comment by hobbesmarcus

There is a bit of a bug with this quest if you try to complete it in a raid.

It will collect the pages but they will not count towards the quest. Once you reach five pages it won't collect any more and even if you drop the raid you can't get any others nor can you get credit for those you have acquired.

You'll have to get rid of the 'dead' pages you have which will also kill the quest for you.

Comment by LoqueNahak

Does not work in raid groups

Comment by mrgummage

If you're not receiving them, even while not in a raid group: try logging out and back in.

I killed more than 40 of the ogres while alone without a single drop, I relogged and now had 2 drops in 3 kills.

I believe this completes The Spirit Forge on the achievement.

Comment by Aaahead

Info on the full "The Spirit Forge" quest chain, one of the six quest chain criteria for the Master Relic Hunter (Alliance)/ Master Relic Hunter (Horde) achievement needed to get the Harrison Jones follower with Extreme Scavenger and unique Mentor traits. This chain takes place in Nagrand, the westernmost Draenor zone.

Getting Starter Quests: The first quest is given by Harrison Jones, who turns up just inside your garrison's Town Hall on random days. He's in some garrisons every day, all giving the same chain's starter quest for that day; use Group Finder's Premade Groups/Custom category to search for "Harrison" to see if anyone is inviting people to their garrison to get the quest.

Bug Notes:

If you collected an item that should complete a quest, but the quest isn't shown as completed, log off and back on (just reloading won't work), click the quest in your quest log, and see if you can click "complete quest".
Leave at least one spot free in your quest log (i.e. 24 of 25), or a quest may become uncompletable going from one quest to the next.
You can not do these quests in a raid group; doing some steps in a raid group can make a quest uncompletable.
If a quest becomes uncompletable, you can return to your garrison, delete the quest, and re-accept the quest on that step of the quest chain from the book of Relic Hunting Notes on the ground next to Harrison Jones. All but the initial quest are also shareable from party members, if you are on the same step of the quest chain.

1. Treasure Contract: Gutrek's Cleaver: Fly to Rilzit's Holdfast flightpoint () in Nagrand, follow the nearby path west. Do NOT turn right (north) at the branching path at or you'll be on the wrong side of the mountains. Try and run around the pack of 3 patrolling mobs on the road, or try to outrun them if you aggro them; they have over a million health combined. Turn right (north) at the branching path at , and travel a short ways up the road to kill Arcanist Earthsmashers (117k health), Slave-Grinders (136k health), and Sledgebashers (117k health) for Journal Pages; Broken Drudges, Dominating Drudges, and Bloodbash Breakers do NOT drop pages. When you collect 5, click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up. BUG NOTE: If you're not receiving notes when killing mobs (every 3 or 4 mobs should drop a page), and you double-checked you're not in a raid group, try logging off and back on.

Bag Space Tip: After you get credit for completing this quest, you can safely delete Goldspade's Journal from your bags. It's just background on goblin treasure hunter Val Goldspade's exploits, for interesting reading. Each Harrison Jones quest chain leaves a similar soulbound book in your inventory (click for list).

2. Gutrek's Cleaver: The First Piece: , in the same Broken Precipice area as step 1, down in the sunken pit of bones toward the north. The quest marker on WoW's map isn't exactly centered on where to get this; Gutrek's Pommel looks like a small red stone inside the eye socket of an animal skull, on the path just next to the largest puddle of water in the bone pit. Click it, then click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up.

3. Gutrek's Cleaver: The Second Piece: southwest of Nagrand's Mok'gol Watchpost, quite a bit south, in the ruins of a small altar midway down Nagrand's map from step 2; Aviana's Feather will be faster than riding a mount if you have one. Gutrek's Hilt is a small object in Gultrik's skeleton's hand, partially obscured by a round stone that covers half the skeleton. You may have to adjust your camera angle lower to see it. Click it, then click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up.

4. Gutrek's Cleaver: The Final Piece: , UP at the top of a stone monument (look up!) in Nagrand's Ring of Blood. Again, Aviana's Feather would save some time, or follow the main path to the Ring of Blood shown on the map of Nagrand. The monument is in between the repair guy Olbrook and the refreshments vendor Kruggok. Once you look up and see Gutrek's Blade atop the monument, go up the stairs to its east, and with a little jumping, walk along the wall above the monument until you can jump on top of the monument and reach the blade. Click it, then click the "Click to complete quest" pop-up.

5. Gutrek's Cleaver: The Spirit Forge: Cave entrance at . Bug warning: do not attack the boss if it's there when you enter the cave, until you're on the last step of this quest. You don't have to follow the path once you get out of the Ring of Blood; the area is downhill, so no mountains will block your path. BUG NOTE: When you enter the cave, you should get credit for the first of the quest criteria, "Locate the Spirit Forge"; if you did not receive credit for this part (it may happen if you glided in, or just randomly), walk back out and back in until you do get credit before doing the other parts. Click the Furnace in the cave to light it, then click the Anvil (if you wait too long, the furnace goes out, and clicking the anvil will result in an "Invalid target" message; just relight the furnace), then click the Trough; you should now have credit for the second of the quest criteria, "Reforge Gutrek's Cleaver". Next, click Gutrek's Cleaver in the glowing column of light between the anvil and trough. This will summon Gutrek (391k health). Kill Gutrek and loot Gutrek's Cleaver from him to complete the third part of the quest, "Claim Gutrek's Cleaver". BUG NOTE: If you kill Gutrek (3rd part of quest) before reforging the cleaver (2nd part of quest), which can happen if someone else is a step ahead of you, or if you're in a party and you're not the one who reforged Gutrek's Cleaver, or if something else just glitches, you might not be able to complete the quest; one person reported being able to hand it in at their garrison anyway, with the 2nd part of the quest not completed. If that doesn't work, you may have to drop and reobtain this step of the quest (either shared from a party member, or by going back to Harrison Jones).

Double-check that your quest is ready for turn-in, then hearth back to your garrison to turn it in to Bodrick Grey (Alliance) or Rokhan (Horde).

Comment by Jaxzia

The bare bones of the quest.

Fly to Rilzit's Holdfast, Nagrand

-Go to the Broken Precipice at 39.6 24.4
Kill the ogres there to get the pages. I found the drop rate to be roughly 50%

-The first piece is in the eye of the skeleton beast at 39.7 14.9

-The second piece travel south past Mok'gol Watchpost to the island to the island at 38.6 39.4. The hilt is beside the skeleton underneath the spirit stone. (It is easier to see if you dismount)

-The third piece is at the Ring of Blood, located at the top of the center column lodged in the skull at 55.0 12.3. The best way I found to get there is to head up the stairs leading to Tarr the terrible turn left follow the wall, here you will see some fallen stones leading up to the next wall. Once you are across from the blade jump over.

- The Spirit Forge cave entrance is at 51.7 27.0
Forge -> Anvil -> Water
Kill Gutrek
Return to garrison to claim the reward.

Hope this helps!

Here's a video of the quest from start to finish in less than 10 minutes: http://youtu.be/T4IkHOhGa3Q

Really nothing special about this quest, it's a simple fetch and go.

Comment by fraggerr

The Harrison quests take place in a location where the Apexis dailies can also take place. If you want to maximize your time in a location, be sure to pick up the associated Missive from your Garrison Quartermaster ( Sergeant Crowler or Sergeant Grimjaw ).

You can have both the missive and the daily from the war planning table.

Achievement Name : Harrison Quest Name = Scouting Missive to purchase

The Crystal Reborn : Treasure Contract: The Artificer = Scouting Missive: Pillars of Fate

The Spirit Forge : Treasure Contract: Gutrek's Cleaver = Scouting Missive: Broken Precipice

The Blessing of Beasts : Treasure Contract: The Thunderlord Sage = Scouting Missive: Magnarok

Breaching the Barrier : Treasure Contract: Explosive Discoveries = Scouting Missive: Darktide Roost ( first part )

Breaching the Barrier : Treasure Contract: Explosive Discoveries = Scouting Missive: Socrethar's Rise ( second part )

The Apexis Device : Treasure Contract: Amulet of Rukhmar = Scouting Missive: Skettis

Taking from the Taker : Treasure Contract: The Infected Orc = Scouting Missive: Everbloom Wilds

Comment by JSMaTT

I completed the first part of the quest (Collect 5 journal pages), clicked complete, and no new quests showed up. I relogged and I don't have any quests to complete in my quest log, nor a new step.

This is why I smoke -_-

EDIT: Went to the quest item of the next chain, couldn't click it. The only way I was able to continue was by returning to my garrison, and there was a book next to Harrison which gave me the quest. If I have to do this for every step of the chain....

EDIT #2: Flew back to the area, picked gem out of skull's eye. Hit complete, nothing happened. Rage GM ticket entered followed by rage alt f4.

Comment by scottdemore

got a question. 3-4 days ago, Harrison Jones showed up in my garrison. I got this quest from him and did each step and completed each step. I finished and returned to garrison and turned quest in. Had to go then so logged out. Today is first day Jones has been back in garrison. Clicked on him to get next quest, and this quest came up again, even though I had already completed it. What is going on with this?

Comment by Ashirin

If you want this quest to go smooth buy the Scouting Missive: Broken Precipice it lets you use Jewel of Transformation so you don't have to fight all the enemies in the area. Also on the last queststep within the crag you can find a skull near a few bones with two goblins standing around that does the same trick for you - without being on any quest.

Comment by soneil

When you're on the last step and get to the forge - make sure you read the 'crumbling note' stuck to the wall next to it...

Comment by Salus

This quest is offered by Surveyor Daltry if you have completed Don't Call Me Junior and earned Harrison Jones as a follower.

Comment by Arccai

This is very weird, and odd that no one has mentioned it yet.
But this morning (after reset) Harrison was not there to offer any quest.
A friend was nice enough to invite me to his Garrison, but his Harrison offered me Treasure Contract: The Artificer
Which i already had completed, however later during that day i decided to build the Spirit Lodge
And once i was done with that, this happend.
Harrison stood there and offered me Treasure Contract: Gutrek's Cleaver

In the same day.

Now i though only 1 could be given a day and especially the same quest, no matter what realm you're in.

This proved me wrong.
This building certainly triggered the quest without question.

Check for yourself if you're still looking for it!
/Cheers

Comment by woolhead1989

today 02/06/22 this quest is bugged looted all 5 pages but only credited for 3 pages and you cant loot no more than 5 pages. ticket gone into blizzard hopfully its just a one off bug.

Comment by Jorsha

My solution for the pages bug:

I had collected 5 pages, but only got quest credit for 2. At that point, pages stopped dropping. Logging out & back in as others suggested didn't fix it. So,....

I deleted pages 1 at a time until the number of pages in my inventory matched the quest tracking total. (CTRL + click on stack to remove 1 from the stack and drag out of bag to delete). Doing that did get a text in red asking if I really wanted to delete & it would delete the quest too (or words to that affect) but that was not true.

Now that the total pages in my inventory matched the quest total (2/5) I killed ogres again. Only 1 counted so I was now at 3/5.

Repeated the process of deleting until the numbers matched, killed ogres again, got to 4/5.

Repeated process one more time and finally got the quest tracker to 5/5 and the automatic quest completion box popped up so I could move on.

Kind of annoying but at least I didn't have to abandon quest and then go back to my garrison to pick it up again. Good luck!

Comment by xzuxx

As of 8. July 2022 (9.2.5) I completed this quest without any problems. Killed some ogres and got the pages. Bug seems to be fixed.

Comment by AdenAndrews

If the Notes are not dropping, make sure you aren't in a RAID group. If you collect 5 pages, but your bag only shows 3 pages. Shift click the pages and move 2 of them to another bag slot. Then kill & find 2 more pages.

Links

Treasure Contract: Gutrek's Cleaver

Search the ogres in the Broken Precipice for clues regarding Goldspade's discovery.

	Journal Page (5)
	Journal Page (5)

Description

In Nagrand, the ogres tell of an ancient weapon called Gutrek's cleaver. I would very much like to study it. A goblin treasure hunter by the name of Val Goldspade discovered the whereabouts of the weapon. Unfortunately, this goblin has gone missing somewhere in the Broken Precipice - probably after a run-in with the locals.
