Best mobs to kill for this is actually the Magma Elementals and such. At first I thought that the Hearts of Flame only dropped from Fire Elementals and Golem Oil only from the Heavy War Golems, but the Magma Elementals drop both. Just got one of each from one mob.. Go firgure :-)

You can find a lot of these guys down in the Cauldron in the Searing George rather than everywhere around. Inside there are also a bunch of other mobs that you need for other quests, so it's good to get it all in one shot.

The drop-rate sucks.

Comment by 36643

you can do this together with Curse These Fat Fingers (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=7723) and maybe also with culling the competition (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=7729)

THIS IS TAKING ME FOREVER TO DO!!!!

Comment by 62118

I found the droprate horrible on all mobs might be my luck and Magma elementals were not dropping anything for me....not even crap loot

Comment by 174981

This is a very difficult quest to do as a Fire mage. To get one of teh quest items, you need go grind many extremely fire resistant enemies. I tried for a while, then gave it up after I killed about ten magma elementals w/o a single drop. The chain does give a huge amount of experience though, I might come back to it if I find myself w/o enough quests.

Divine Retribution is actually the first step in this quest line. It's just one of those simple quests where you read through the NPC's backstory.(##RESPBREAK##)2056##DELIM##adashiel##DELIM##

Did this quest to get Ironforge rep for an 80 Dwarf Hunter. Did not receive any rep. Only 1gold 40silver.

Comment by Apiecost

Does count towards Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms

Comment by 445357

I recommend killing the magma elementals, as they drop both the flame and oil.

Comment by rogueyay

Very easy quest, all of the mobs you need to kill are around the quest giver
and drop approx. 60% also, the molten elementals drop both.

problem is though, i had quite a bit of competition..
and there aren't many fire ele's there

Comment by Thottbot

41,57 in searing gorge, you have to go down but its only 45 and 45, some 47 golems with even lower hp then the lower lvl enemies. Got a on the first drop from a Inferno Elemental.

Comment by Thottbot

Hehe, what the confusion was here I believe is just people mistaking with .... is the quest item require to complete this quest, and it is found on the elementals in the Searing Gorge. Where as the is found on all Fire Elementals thoughout the WoW world - it is a rare drop thats used for elemental leatherworking. Good luck.

Comment by Thottbot

blaze and infernal elementals drop these, howeven I THINK you must stand IN the lavapit whe nyou kill them for them to drop these Heart of the flame.

We killed many outside the lava pit and got no drops but when we stood in the lava pit and killed them we got many more drops.

I hope someone can comfirm this.

/Trogh

Comment by Thottbot

Either it was weird luck, or the droprate in the Cauldron is much much higher but:

I killed 10 infernals outside the cauldron and got 1 of the flames. Then I went down the cauldron and killed 3 infernals and got one from everyone!

Thus I suggest you try to kill the infernals in the Cauldron, not outside it, unless you want to wait forever.

Comment by Thottbot

i got the 4 off of 9 kills in the southwestern section of sering gorge. all drops were off of infernoes or somesuch. But they all dropped near the entrence to blackrock.

Comment by Thottbot

so hard to find these infernals, were are they concentrated?

Comment by Thottbot

We had trouble finding the flaming guys, let alone getting drops. Gave up and went back the next day. The flaming guys we needed had spawned in each of the pools in the sw ... were the other guys were the night before. So, yes kill the ones you don't need ... eventually they will respawn into the ones you do... :)

Comment by Thottbot

Aight i read most of the thread, and iv noticed da best way is to always look at da bottom cos someone sums it up. basically the drop rate is crap outside the cauldron. So what you do is go in the cauldron and kill the fire elements, magmas dont drop it, only the infernal and blazing do... If there arent any, then kill the magmas and their is a basically 50% chance that a blazing or infernal will spawn in its place... Out of three killed in the cauldron so far i have got 2 drops

Comment by Thottbot

I had gotten 2 previously through killing several of the elementals and then I read the comment about standing in the lava. I had a hard time getting the item to drop UNTIL I stood in the lava when I made my death blow. The last 2 dropped 100% for me. Could be a fluke, but is worth trying.

Also I was outside the cauldron, but I doubt that makes much a difference.

Comment by Thottbot

there is no specific way to get these items needed. I did this quest a week ago and got barely anything. Now all of a sudden im getting everything after just a few kills. I have 3/4 heart of flames and 4/4 of the burning oil.

Comment by Thottbot

Obtained the 4 Heart of Flame from 7 kills of Blazing Elementals in the Cauldron.

Comment by Thottbot

1 Inferno(outside)- No Heart of Flames
5 Magma(outside)- 4 Oil
4 Blazing(inside)- 4 Hearts
3 Magma(inside)- None

Comment by Thottbot

Kill - Drop

5x magma - 2x burning pitch
1x inferno - 1x heart of fire
5x blazing - 4x heart of flame

Comment by Thottbot

Got thise quest on lvl 48, did it at 53, cause I already tried it at 48, i killed about 10 of them and not a single drop. I think the droprate is around 20%, killed 15, had only one, then 3 in a row. just kill the magma's they respawn as Fire Elementals

Comment by Thottbot

I can confirm that Magma Elementals do drop Heart of Flame; in fact I have recieved as many of them as from the Burning Elementals, which is one.

Comment by Thottbot

I never got a from a inferno or a magma elemental only from blazing elemtals so good luck :D

Comment by Thottbot

I got all mine on the the first 4
Magma Elementals drop both,
the little Inferno things drop heart of flame
and Heavy War Golem drops the oil.

I went into the Cauldron to do mine.

Comment by Thottbot

I did like 20 min of The cauldron slaughtering every elemental i came upon... seeing that i only read the first 5 comments here... The only ones that actually give u the heart of flame are the inferno fire dudes. I did like 30 blazing fire elementals but noon dropped... Maybe just bad luck but would leave them alone. The funny part is that even b4 i got my first flame i found a #$%^load of heart of fire and elemental fire =). Keep it in mind that the inferno elemental's drop best!

Comment by Thottbot

I did this real quick. Magma Elementals drop both items. You can hunt Fire and Blazing Elementals but Magma's seemed to have a higher drop rate as well.

Comment by Thottbot

Magma Elementals also give the heart of flame inside the cauldron...still a low droprate but hey...

Comment by Thottbot

Dropped fine for me off of all elementals and golems near quest giver as stated in quest

Comment by Thottbot

this is a simple quest i just killed the magma and fire elementals and golems right near the quest giver right outside of thorium point
good drop rate too

Comment by Thottbot

I've killed 2 of those flame thingies in their lava pits, both dropped hearts of flame. Killed 2 outside lava pits now, no hearts. I think there's a parrent. Oh, and it's helluva lot easier to do the golem oil part along with Curse These Fat Fingers, if someone hasn't already mentioned it above.

Comment by Thottbot

57, 46 is the best.

Comment by Thottbot

easy quest, magma elementles drop BOTH items, i got drop nearly every kill

Comment by Thottbot

My last post i put heart of fire, its heart of flame, my bad :(

Comment by Thottbot

Inferno Elementals didn't drop Heart of Flame for me. So, I tried with Blazing Elementals and I got 4 of them for 4 kills.

57,43 in THE CAULDRON

Comment by Thottbot

Zomg! the guy you get the quest from and turn the quest into is at 39,39. i had a hard time finding him.

Comment by Thottbot

So you dont waste loads of time like me. Listen to the advice above only kill elementals which are in lava.
They were the only ones that seemed to drop. Co-ords given above confirmed

Comment by Thottbot

Kill Magma Elemental they drop both item

Comment by Thottbot

i agree kill the magma elementals... these drop both the heart and the oil..! :D all in all a great quest!

Comment by Thottbot

As of 9-10-07 the MAGMA ELEMENTALS drop both of the required items! I spent hours killing flame dudes and war golems only to find that they have a low drop rate. Magma Elementals had a 50% drop rate. Completed this quest in about 10 mins.

Comment by Thottbot

um magma has good rate drop I say=50% inferno=10% and those metal dudes=10% but magma drops both items for the quest and i agree aswell go for magma i actually had trouble finding inferno.

Comment by Thottbot

The site worked fine for me as far as seeing all comments. BUT had to re-read as some are confusing. As to what actually drops what. I think it's Magma drops both? I'll be back when finished to let u know as of 10/14/07. TY

Comment by Thottbot

I got oil and flame of heart off of magma elementals

Comment by Allakhazam

Just so you all know, Inferno Elementals and Blazing elementals (basically the rocky and fiery guys) all drop the Heart of Flame, for those of you who were confusesd.

Comment by Allakhazam

41,57 in searing gorge, you have to go down but its only 45 and 45, some 47 golems with even lower hp then the lower lvl enemies. Got a on the first drop from a Inferno Elemental.

Comment by Allakhazam

Finally found a mob that would give them up after 2 hours at 49,49

Comment by Allakhazam

Go for 39,47 . Nice drop rate killed 7 dropped the 4 .. in caulderon lava areas .

Comment by Allakhazam

For the oils I had to kill about 5 Heavy War Golems, for the Heart of Flames I had to kill about 10 magma elementals - it's roughly a 50% drop rate.

Comment by Allakhazam

For the Heart of Fire's, go to the cauldron and kill the Magma and other elementals there, The Magma's can't drop it, but they can respawn into ones that do.

Comment by Allakhazam

well one thing is for certain this quest can really test your patience and i am very grateful for fire resistance aura (and so are my party members)

Comment by Allakhazam

I just did this quest and got the heart of flame in the cauldron. Kill the blazing and magma elementals. They both drop the hearts of flame. Have to have patience with this quest.

Comment by Allakhazam

Don't confuse the Heart if FLAME (quest item) with the Heart of FIRE (reagent). If you're killing fire elementals you'll likely get some of both on this quest.

I got the parts for this quest off Heavy War Golems (was killing them for a quest anyways) and Magma Elementals (the black and orange rocky guys), who seem to be immune to electrical/Nature damage (my sword has an electrical proc, but they were immune). Had to kill a lot of Magma and Inferno elementals to get the 4 Hearts of Flame (also go 2 Hearts of Fire and some Elemental Fires as well as lots of burning pitch).

Comment by Allakhazam

The Oil was easy to get, but i had to kill 49 elementals before i got all 4 hearts of flame.

though the 4000xp and 1.4 gold was worth it.

Comment by Allakhazam

wow totally oposite for me i had to kill a ton of things before i got oil and got 4 out of 4 on the elementals

Comment by Allakhazam

the golem oil is very easy to get off those heavy war golems but the heart of flames only seem to drop off those inferno elementals. i tried killing both those and the weaker 45 versions. you can make the inferno elementals spawn by killing the magma elementals in those little pits of lava. near the blackrock mountain there are 3 or 4 good spots u can do this.

Comment by Allakhazam

The Golem Oil is easy to find just kill the Golems and Elemental things next to where the quest is given but for the Heart of Flame seems you need to find Blazing Elementals I killed tons of things before I finally was down in the lava and found the mob that droped.

Exp reward for quest was 4400 exp

Magma Elementals drop both quest items

Links

The Flawless Flame

Collect 4 Hearts of Flame and 4 globes of Golem Oil and return the items to Velarok Windblade.

	Heart of Flame (4)
	Golem Oil (4)

Description

You have made the right decision, <name>.

We must strike where we will do the most damage: the four sentry towers.

With the four towers in flames, we can initiate an offensive before they have time to react.

You will need the proper tool to set the towers ablaze. To make the tool requires some materials.

Bring me four hearts of flame and four golem oil and I shall craft the torch of flawless flame.

The golems and elementals in these lands should be your first target.
