The mobs you need to kill are all around the lake (tloc 70,59). The non elite Sething Revenants.

turnin at 77, 62

I experienced a 100% drop rate for the furious sparks, thus making this quest relatively short compared to other "collect x of y" quests.

Comment by 277853

Confirmed, the mobs that drop the furious sparks are Seething Revenants that patrol all around the lake at about 70, 59. 100% drop rate.

You have to kill the giants to get the iron forged giants to get the quest item. Make sure you don't already have the item in your inventory (its blue). I read on thottbot that someone had abandoned the quest and destroyed the quest item, but they were able to get another one, so you should be okay... =)

Turn in location: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/maps=67:773629

Comment by decimator22

As monkeyclaw stated earlier, you can get the drop off of one of the elite giants roaming around. i too abandoned the quest after getting hated with sons of hodir. First kill of a Stormforged Iron Giant dropped the item for me.

If you try to turn in while Fjorn is there he will attack you. Not sure how to get around this though.

Comment by 228393

Fjorn will walk away for a few seconds. I used this time to turn in the quest. Just be fairly quick about it.

Comment by Darkmeat

wheres the anvil?

Comment by 147614

The Anvil is near Fjorn at 77,62. My QH showed the turn in point at 63,63, but this was obviously wrong.

Who aren't immune to fire btw - fire-using mages/shammies/locks rejoice.

Comment by Fallbrook

You can do this safely without aggroing him or any of the revenants if you have a flying mount. Fly to the opposite side of the anvil from him and creep forward, you'll be able to turn it in from far enough away that he won't attack.

Comment by 150529

there is an anvil were the storm giant king is next.There are usually 5-6 revenants.Plus I confirm 100% drop rate
edit:The:As you ponder where in this frozen waste you might find something hot enough for the job, a fire revenant crosses your path...
made me lol hard

Comment by 75147

if you're using questhelper, it's turnin location shows the anvil @ dun niffelem, which is not what you want!

You want the anvil to the east at 77, 62 as commented on earlier.

Comment by 88411

Mind that if you've completed "Mending Fences", you can no longer pick up granite boulders to help you against the giants, so when you accidently walk into one of them while killing the guys for this quest, watch out! If you happend to aggro a giant, you're on your own! :(

Did that mistake 5 times in a row. Stealthy for being iron giants, they are.

Comment by lemele

Had no problems turning in the quest while Fjorn was there. Simply stayed the far side of the anvil and he didn't aggro me at all. Level 79 paladin.

As previously stated, quest helper gets this wrong - the anvil at 77,62.

Watch out for the giants when getting the quest items!

Comment by Xanice

Maybe a few people noticed but the Seething Revenants can fly. I just thought it was kinda interesting. You could use this to your advantage and lure them to higher grounds away from those elites.

Comment by feck

Big assist for druids on this one - get into flight form, hover over the anvil, and you can turn in this quest and get the next one without aggro from the Giants. Of course, be careful of the Seething Revenants, they can fly and you will get aggro if you get too close.

Comment by 197558

My rogue got around it. I flew in air dismounted and vanished.

What you need to do though if your a rogue is keep vanish off CD if u dont wannt get attacked after turning in.Make sure sprint is also up cause usually there are two Seething Reverants right there.

What i did exactly was get the 10 Sparks from the Seething Revs flew to the Anvil.Dismounted Vansh cause i had only like 5k HP turned in quest grabed other quest and vanished again then i used sprint to get away before second aggro.Then i flew away. BTW Fjorn was litterally right behind the Anvil when i turned it. He was like say blind distance away from me too.

As you ponder where in this frozen waste you might find something hot enough for the job, a fire revenant crosses your path...

It's more like...As I pondered where in this frozen waste I might find something hot enough for the job, a fire revenant crossed my path and I said to myself..."What in Sam Hill is something as hot as the side of the sun doing pattin across a frozen lake in the middle of the tundra waste lands?"

While you are doing this quest, you are in a phase that is not accessible to anybody who has finished this quest chain (i.e. the majority of the level 80 population since they want to get Hodir rep for shoulder enchants). These Seething Revenants drop Relics of Ulduar and Crystallized Fire which are both fairly valuable, so if you're hurting for cash when you get to this step of the chain, you may want to farm these items for a while to make some cash. Very few people will be competing with you or trying to kill you (on a PVP server) because not many people are on the right step of the quest chain to see these guys.

Comment by 29600

I picked up this quest today on patch 3.11 and got 5 Furious Spark drops on my first 5 Seething Revenant kills.
I then continued to kill 44 of them with no more furious spark drops. Also tried dropping and re-starting the quest but I couldn't get any more Furious Sparks to drop.

Appears to be bugged, maybe just for me...?

Comment by jujuness

Same thing happened to me not being able to loot the supposed 100% drop rate quest items, how stupid of me that I didn't realize I was in a raid group. Leave party and problems solved.

Comment by 120785

I completed Mending the fences without getting the metal slag to start the quest The Refiner's Fire. Can i still kill the elite 80's to get the drop? I killed about 50 of the fire gys & no drops. I cant pick up anymore granite boulders so killing the elites on my own is outa the question? any pointers? I dont want to be stuck on hated:( 22k outs 36k rep

Comment by 340653

appears to be fixed since the last restart, killed the fire guys and each one dropped the refiners fire and I died a lot b/c of the elite giants, my gear was all red, but I made it to the anvil, and now I am moving on on this quest chain :D

Comment by usmcpound

seems as though its bugged. ive killed countless amounts of these guys and not one has dropped the quest item.

just tried killing them again, and now they're dropping. WTH

Comment by Hador2

Turn in at "The Storm Peaks (77.11, 62.62)"

Comment by MarUlberg

It's on quest like this I thank myself for choosing human.

Comment by 207934

possibly a Bible reference referring to purgatory as a "refiner's fire"

Comment by 533264

The way to start faction with the brothers of hordir is began through here. When you kill a stormforged iron giant on froestfield lake you will get a piece of slag as loot. This item begins the quest. NOW! I am posting this as forever ago I started lvling my toon and did not complete this quest that the slag starts. SO for those who skip this believe me you dont want to! exalted faction gets you tons of awesome stuff.

Comment by Allakhazam

The anvil is at 77,62, East from Dun Niffelem, it's a volcano-like spot where the big elite giant Fjorn is around his smaller elite giants. They are lv80 elites so be careful. Slag Covered Metal drops from them in Dun Niffelem.

Comment by Allakhazam

I take it that I've messed up, since I didn't get around to doing this until after the giants were dead. Wish I had known...

Comment by Allakhazam

This is a quest you need to start getting rep with sons of hodir and you get it from getting Slag Covered Metal which drops from Stormforged Iron Giants. They're elite and hard to kill solo. There is a quest that gives you an item that helps to take them down though. Problem is, there are a lot of quests leading up to that quest. If you're planning on doing a lot of quests in storm peaks that won't be a problem but it helps to know where to start. Begin by doing the quest They Took Our Men!. That will start a chain of quest leading through the brunnhildar area. once you finish that chain you can do The Last of Her Kind. That starts another chain that leads to Mending Fences which is a quest requiring you to kill the giants and giving you an item to make it far easier.
First time I did these quests with a lvl 80. Second time I did them right from the They Took Our Men! quest with a toon that had just hit 79 and went straight through to the beginning of the sons of hodir quests without any side quests. Got about 8 bars of xp and about 200g just from doing that long line.

Comment by Rudolfo

If you click on the slag-covered thing and you get a message "You don't meet the requirements for this" no worries. It becomes available after you turn in the "Mending Fences" quest and start the rep grind.

Links

The Refiner's Fire

You must collect 10 Furious Sparks from the Seething Revenants at Frostfield Lake and then use the anvil at Fjorn's Anvil.

	Slag Covered Metal (Provided) (1)
	Furious Spark (10)

Description

Beneath its porous exterior, this hunk of metal gleams with a mysterious quality.

You feel it would only be prudent to burn off the slag at Fjorn's Anvil.

As you ponder where in this frozen waste you might find something hot enough for the job, a fire revenant crosses your path...
