You have to stand near the lava lake, on the north 'shore', where Blazerunner is. Don't stand in the lake (it will kill you) or on the other side of the lake (it won't work).

Comment by kreghx

Both locations of 52,42 for the ramp up the mountain and 48,48 as to where to stand for the lake were of great help. Solo'd as a 56 hunter which was very easy to do. Took all of 5 minutes.

For clarification, you must stand at 48,48 on the SOUTH shore of the lake, below Blazerunner. There is a river of sorts coming out of the south end of the lake, I stood there and was able to forge the key.

Careful with pets here that are on Attack or Defense mode.
Sometimes this pool have some fire shooting creeps in it. If you're pet is gonna run into them and into the lava, he will most likely die. :}

Don't forget to bring the two thorium bars needed to forge the unfinished key.

Comment by 68380

To forge the key I stood at 48,47

Comment by magazine

Actually stand at the South shore at 48,48

Comment by Darkfire

When the item is used it forms a green aura around you and shakes the screen (Pretty cool huh?) You can stand on the other side you just have to be more to the south than north

It's also nice to have these two quests in your quest log since they can both be completed by or on the mountain. =)

Um... anyone else notice that this says to return to "Chillwind Point" and not "Chillwind Camp"? Chillwind Point is in Alterac Mountains.

Erm, maybe that's because it IS called Chillwind Point....

-I read a few other quests concerning Chillwind Point. They all said it was Chillwind Point.

-I hovered over Chillwind Point on my minimap. It said Chillwind Point.

-I even WENT to Chillwind Point, in the south point of WPL with Ally NPCs and Argent Dawn ones. It was called Chillwind Point.

I honestly have no idea what you're babbling on about armuri...

Comment by Nashtana

Just completed this and found that it won't work standing next to the edge where Blazerunner's cave is located. Won't work standing in the stream either as an elemental in the water keeps getting you into combat. So, I walked over to the opposite side across the stream going down the hill and completed the quest with no problem and not combat issues. Don't know if it matters that I have upgraded to Lich King or not.

Comment by 335067

The only place I could get it to work was the west side as none of the other locations worked. When I tried other locations around the lake and inside the lake, it said I had to be closer to the magma lake. Solo as a 60 Warrior

Can somebody map it for those who refuse to use add-ons?

Comment by Thottbot

If you're a Rogue and near 300 lockpicking, skip this and save yourself 15g. Just get to 300 :)

And FYI, only one person in your group or raid needs to be able to open the door to the instance.

Comment by Thottbot

stood right to the lava pool and it worked...

guess some ppl just like to inflict unnecessary pain on themselves....

Comment by Thottbot

his instructions worked great! but watch out for the 56 elite blazerunner he smoked me.

Comment by Thottbot

Head to the Auction House and purchase your 2 thorium bars. (if you're already a miner, skip this step)

Then head to Un'goro Crater. In the center of the crater is the ugly Fire Plume Ridge where you can find many farmers farming the fire elementals.

Find the bridge on the NORTH side of the mountain, follow it all the way up - to your right you should see the lava lake. Then stand in the little nook facing NORTH (when facing NORTH you should be facing the lava) - get as close as you can and use the mold.

Bada bing - quest finished.

Comment by Thottbot

You will need to kill him again, because if you dont have *that* quest when you kill him, he doesn't drop *that* quest item :) So hold off on doing Alas, Andorhal till you decide to do this quest, get everything in one shot.

Comment by Thottbot

I second the guy above that said "use the bridge". This is way easier than trying to follow the lava trail which just didn't work for me. The bridge entrance is on the N side at 53,42. Just look for the huge tree with the fallen tree bridge next to it.

Comment by Thottbot

when u get to un'goro crater, head directly south. when you get to fireplume ridge, look for a wooden bridge on the northern side. just go up to the very top, hop into the lake of fire (i used divine protection) get the key, hop out, head back to chillwind camp. you will prolly have to fight a few lvl 55 range fire elementals, so be ready, unless someone is there farming them.

Comment by Thottbot

Begin your climb at 52,41. Follow path over bridge to pool of lava.

Comment by Thottbot

Definately get the Thorium bars before you go to the Fire Plume Ridge. There were none on auction so I thought I'd do the lava bit first - stupid I shou;ld have read the Quest more carefully

Comment by Thottbot

There was an elemental that kept killing me from the lake. I'm a warrior so if I go in the lake I die, and if I don't, I'm dead too... But a druid came and killed it. So I guess have some help if you don't cast.

Comment by Thottbot

ima charging da bubble!

Comment by Thottbot

Hey, get the bars FIRST. Don't go to the zone until you have the bars.

Comment by Thottbot

Adding insult to injury the greedy b#$@*'s at gadgeton auction house want an additional 15 gold for thorium bars! Don't do it! You can get them for a fraction of that back in Ironforge.

Comment by Thottbot

Okay, that sucked. On my server there is an elemental in the lake right by where you stand. Can't fight it (evade) and can't pull it out! Finally moved around to south-west area (48,47). Waited for agro to go away, stood by lake of fire and it finally worked!

Comment by Thottbot

Tried to get to perfect "48, 48" and couldn't make it work. 48.1, 47.3 worked perfectly.

Comment by Thottbot

Stand on the south rim of the lake facing north. If the system says "Entering Combat" and there is an elemental in the lake that you cannot attack, just keep clicking the mold. Every 30 seconds or so the attack resets and says "Leaving Combat" for that instant you can access the mold. So you just have to keep clicking on it and it will eventually work.

This worked for me! Died once before I read this post. You don't need to enter the lava lake (where I died),or kill an elemental, just do what it says above, stand on the "land" south rim of lake facing north and keep clicking mold. It will eventually work.

Comment by Allakhazam

I stood RIGHT on the edge of the lava for this; 48, 48

Comment by Allakhazam

if go to 48,48 there is a "off" colored patch near the lava, stand on that patch and create key

Comment by Allakhazam

Just be careful, there is a 56 Elite Fire elemental up there, knocked me into the lake.

Comment by Allakhazam

Both locations of 52,42 for the ramp up the mountain and 48,48 as to where to stand for the lake were of great help. Solo'd as a 56 hunter which was very easy to do. Took all of 5 minutes.

Comment by Allakhazam

Buy first in AH the two bars of thorium

Comment by Allakhazam

The easiest way to get to the top is to start climbing from the north side of the Fire Plume Ridge (coordinates are 52, 42).

Once you get to the Lava Lake, as others have said, go down right next to it (but not into it) and use the Skeleton Key Mold in your inventory.

Comment by Allakhazam

As deadline as stated look out for the 56 elite Blazerunner who knocks back. Agroed him by accident and knocked me close to the lava.

Comment by Allakhazam

Checked AH in Stormwind City - no listing for Thorium bars. Where did you get yours?

Comment by Allakhazam

Go up the crater at 52.84 41.88
You must go to point 48.23 47.53 to use the mould

Comment by Allakhazam

I have a pretty hard time on FirePlume Ridge and using coordinates doesn't seem to make it any easier for me so here is a hint:

(A while after I finished this quest chain I had to go back for something different and found my way more easily.)

Start by approaching FirePlume Ridge from the east. Look on your mini-map to see a wide "lava flow" path. Stand as if you are about to use that path and look to your immediate left. Scamper up the rocky ridge.

If you can use this to find Ringo's cave you can then look to the right of the cave for a narrow path up beside it.

Rather than going over the little bridge that it leads to, twist around a path to the left. As you continue up and around you will also continue to encounter fire elementals. When you get to the plateau with the "hotspot" you just have a little furth to continue going around to the left. to find the cave that Blazerunner is in.

I noticed as I was standing in front of the cave entrance, but out a bit towards a short drop off that I was almost on top of the spot where I had needed back when I was doing the quest chain for the key to scholo. Just a short drop down would have put me right there. (That spot is at the edge of a lava lake that you can see on your mini-map.)

There are other ways, but if your having a hard time and getting frustrated this will get you there.

Comment by Allakhazam

Its the lake on top of the mountain. Dont go into the lake, stay at the edge.

Comment by Allakhazam

Once you have reached the ridge, you have to make your way to the south side of the lake near the overflow to the southeast. You will be able to forge the unfinished skeleton key. Good Luck.

Comment by Allakhazam

You can access the lake at any point now.

Comment by koirint

48.48 is the correct co-ordinates.

I had an issue with 2 evading mobs that were bugged out in the actual lava pit. Every time I got up to the edge and clicked on the mould it would stop and say "in combat" - The workaround for me was to just wait 5 seconds (standing still at the edge) until the mob reset and then try again.

Wasted a few mins before I figured it out so thought it might help someone else!

Links

Fire Plume Forged

Take the Skeleton Key Mold and 2 Thorium Bars to the top of Fire Plume Ridge in Un'Goro Crater. Use the Skeleton Key Mold by the lava lake to forge the Unfinished Skeleton Key.

Bring the Unfinished Skeleton Key to Alchemist Arbington at Chillwind Point, Western Plaguelands.

	Unfinished Skeleton Key (1)

Provided item:

	Skeleton Key Mold (1)

Description

You need two bars of thorium and a powerfully hot heat source to forge the key stem. You're on your own for the thorium, but I can help with the heat.

To our west in Un'Goro Crater is Fire Plume Ridge - a simmering volcano. The lava lake up top is hot enough to fuse thorium and bone together. Your gold has bought you a mold that simply requires you to dip it in the lake up top; the lava will take care of the rest.

That's it on my end. To finish your key, you'll need to talk to Arbington again.
