The Tuyere is only dropped by Dark Iron Steamsmiths. There are only a few that spawn, about 5 or 6 i think. They're near the steamery at 39,50.

The spyglass is dropped by Dark Iron Lookouts. You can find them near the towers that surround the cauldron.

Kommentar von Kejek

Just to help clarify, the steamsmiths are directly south of Kalaran Windblade. They are up top, before the elevator that lowers you into the gorge.

I spent a lot of time wandering around in the caves below and couldnt find em... heh

Kommentar von 14590

I got the Tuyere on my first kill but the Spyglass took a while.

Kommentar von akafortes

drop rate is realy a pain in the a*s...
i've been killing for about 20-25 mins and still haven't got any of the items:(

Kommentar von 45595

I got the Smithing Tuyere from a Dark Iron Steamsmith after my 4th kill at around 43,51.

I got the Lookout's Spyglass after my 9th kill from a Dark Iron Lookout at around 53,59.

Kommentar von 43354

Drop rate on this quests sucks.
Took me bout 50 of each.

Kommentar von 22114

Been at it for 2 hours now. Got half a level, an epic, a blue, several greens... but no tuyere!

Kommentar von Linkn

even though it may take som time, the xp is ok

Kommentar von 61719

The drop rate is somewhere around 4%, it's just a matter of your luck. If you don't get it soon, then just keep trying, the quest should take no more than 20 minutes.

Kommentar von 39185

wow i can't believe its that low a drop rate, i got my tuyere on my fourth steamsmith and my spyglass on my third lookout.
I guess you just have to get lucky

Kommentar von 65001

ok so this quest has not been fun at all.

The lookouts are just west of the cauldron on the top. There average level is about 47 and I was lucky and got the spyglass on the second kill

The steamer dudes are right at the elevator that takes you down into the cauldron and they are on the top level. There are only 5 there that i could find and killed them and there respawns for over an hour. Still hasn't dropped. The only reason i haven't abandoned this quest is because the monetary reward is pretty good and even though I can't use the quest rewards I can disenchant them.

Good Luck all.

Kommentar von 65146

Ok, i killed probably 300 lookouts trying to get the spyglass, it took FOREVER! At level 48, i got over 40 000 exp just from grinding these guys trying to find the glass, soooo lame.

Kommentar von 67552

lol i must be lucky... got my spyglass from the 33.6, 53.7 Dark Iron Lookouts and got my Tuyere from the Steamsmiths at about 40, 50, 2nd kill on the Dark Iron Steamsmiths....

oh and for lore purposes its called Dark iron tuyere for a reason, it's not really stolen but were stealing it for them.. but who liked Roleplaying... lol

Kommentar von 15032

There are 6 Dark Iron Steamsmiths in total. 2 at the Tents to the west of the Cauldron Smithy, 3 at the smithy, and 1 at the tents to the east of the smithy.

It took me just over 1 hour and 22 minutes to complete this quest. The hangup was the Smithing Tuyere. It just would "not" drop.

Kommentar von 15389

OMG this quest is annoying, I swear to god I have been trying to get the smithing tuyere for about 1hr and a half, its really annoying. I don't know if it will ever drop for me

Kommentar von 15389

lmao, 2 kills after i posted the previous post it dropped!!! omg im so made up now

Kommentar von kainr

The spyglass dropped on first kill. The Tuyere on the other hand hasn't dropped after an hour+ of killing the steamsmiths.

I recommend running and doing other quests while they respawn. Such as killing golems, or spiders/etc.

Kommentar von 44665

Haha!! Got the Tuyere first guy I killed!!! What kind of luck is that!

Kommentar von 70534

I still haven't finished the quest and I've been killin these guys forever. You guys are right, smiths are just right from the elevator, but the lookouts aren't only on the west side of the cauldron. They're all around it, any tower.

Kommentar von 67271

I've been killing the Lookouts and the Steamsmiths all day, neither will drop, I say this quest is a complete waste of time for anyone at all.

Kommentar von 50149

The "Dark Iron Steamsmiths" are around the steamery, there are in total 6 of them, they drop the "Smithing Tuyere". "The Dark Iron Lookout" drops the "Lookout's Spyglass". They are at every watchtower in and around the "The Cauldron", but be sure you don't go in a watchtower, there's a lvl 48 elite "Dark Iron Sentry" in it and no "Dark Iron Lookout", not really hard to kill that "Dark Iron Sentry" either.
Tower locations are:
33,53
36,59
44,61
49,55
Steamery location:
39,50

Kommentar von 81953

I seem to have the exact opposite luck. The smithing tuyere dropped on 5th kill and i spent the following 1.5 hours killing lookouts. Still hasn't dropped. I'll come back to it when I'm less frustrated....

Kommentar von 68681

I got so lucky! Got boht on first and second kill:D Quest done fast as shit:D

Kommentar von Luciferi

ugh im so sick of this quest. ive been grinding the lookouts for over an hour now and the spyglass just wont drop. luckily i have tons of quests in this area.

Kommentar von 95292

The elites on the watch towers drop a key starting a new quest

The Key to Freedom: https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=4451

Happy questing :)

Kommentar von 86500

As of Patch 2.3, the dwarves are no longer Elites. Quest much easier. Still low drop rate on the Tuyere

Kommentar von 101161

hehe as the hell of lycky i killd 1 loock out guy and got the glasses and 2 of the others teamsmith or something i killd 2 of and then im done! ;D as lycky i am =) Good Luck to u others!

Kommentar von 7577

In 2.3, the dwarves are no longer elite, but there appear to be environment issues, because many times I've ridden by and there's only 2 or three Steamsmiths to kill. I can't find ANY at the Steamery, only one per camp, if they're there at all.

I suspect they may be stuck inside of buildings or something, like so many other 2.3 mobs.

Kommentar von 80615

Over two hours on the the Steamsmiths and I haven't gotten the Tuyere yet. Did manage to get the spy glass in about 15 minutes though.

Kommentar von dalle

They should either increase the Tyere droprate or increase the number of steamsmith spawns -_-

Kommentar von 113633

now normal mobs lvl 50 caster overseer and one ranged guard really easy but cords are 40, 35

Kommentar von Sgtown

WARNING: I just had a GM confirm that THIS QUEST is the one that BUGS the Gnomeregan teleporter quest line!!!!

If you complete this quest before you complete Chief Engineer Scooty (https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=2842 ), you can NOT pick up that quest anymore, and you will NOT be able to get your Goblin Transponder (https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/item=9173 ) to teleport to Gnomeregan.

Reminder: Chief Engineer Scooty is obtainable after you talk to Nogg next to Sovik and accept Rig Wars (https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=2841 ).

The GM escalated my ticket to a Character Specialist, said it will take 3-5 days for him to respond. Currently waiting for the response.

Kommentar von 115640

Dropped both items on the second kills.

Kommentar von 124104

Took forever to finish, i only did it for the items at the ends and xp. It almost wasnt worth it.

Kommentar von 111155

ok the drop rate for the steamsmiths suck

i killed them all 8 times before i got it

Kommentar von 131671

u have to wait 3 full spawns kill them all the 4th spawn u will have it
the same thing with the look out

Kommentar von 96035

took for freaking ever! give 1g 40s

Kommentar von 127601

i dont really know why it took me so long.
i got the Tuyere about my 3rd kill
but ive been trying to get the spyglass for about 30 minutes
and everyone sayd the Tuyere is the one that never drops... :/

Kommentar von Fredzilla

It took me like 5 kills to get the spyglass, but ive been trying to get the tuyere forever now, I got a Flurry Axe before I got it D:

Kommentar von 16636

Spyglass was easy. The tuyere took 22 kills and over an hour. I suggest you skip this quest.

Kommentar von 148619

Tuyere dropped from steamsmith #32. Try your luck but don't stick around to farm this.

Kommentar von 143923

Had no problems as a lvl 50 dranei shaman. Just did the quest, took about 2 kills of each "type" of dark iron dwarf to get quest items.

Kommentar von thoon

The drop rate for this quest seems like PURE luck.... I got it on my fourth lookout and about my 17th steamsmith. Also you can group up for this quest and you will both get the loot if more than one person are doing it at the same time.

Kommentar von mrdummy

After 10 Steamsmiths, i got one.... that is 10% chance actually.
Keep watching around the big steamery (with huge wheel), i see there 5 mobs, but don't know where 6th mob...

Two mobs by big wheel, 2 tents at left has each one, one tent at far right has one (with another mob). 6th mob is not seen there, but perhaps another tent behind wheel in the north. But that tent with anvil and forge has nobody.

Edit: There are just 2 seen by the steamery. Not 3 mobs. That makes 5 mobs in total.

Kommentar von slicerace

Took > 20 minutes, but I finally got it. Keep trying!

Kommentar von Kyulan

Both propably have the same droprate but as mentioned, the problem is that there are way too few Steamsmiths. I've done this quest 3-4 times with different characters and always gotten the Smithing Tuyere in the first few kills but right now when just finished it with my shaman I killed 40+ Lookouts for the spyglass.

Kommentar von 145273

I must have killed a good 25 of those guys before the item finally dropped, it is pretty low for a quest item in terms of drop rate.

Kommentar von bernlin2000

Terrible droprate for the Tuyere. Some people said it's gotten better recently, but I cleared the camp of Steamsmiths at least 5x while questing and it never dropped. I'm hanging on the quest just for the heck of it (I have all the other objectives done), but I'll probably end up abandoning it: this droprate is just plain stupid.

Kommentar von 170336

If youve killed at least 25 steamsmiths and still havnt gotten the tuyere then just re take the quest

Kommentar von Zeluha

Respawn on the Steamsmiths seems to be approx 6-8 minutes depending on what you kill around them.

I have killed approximately 30 of them and still no drop of the Tuyere, so the droprate's still not too amazing. Hopefully it'll drop soon tho :)

Edit: actually, the respawn can be as fast as 3-4 minutes, but it's crazy random (aka- not in the order you killed them first)

Kommentar von 173053

The droprate on the Spyglass is absolutely TERRIBLE

ive been on this quest for ages.

Kommentar von 71783

I'm currently still doing this quest, (started about an hour and a half ago). Took about an hour to get the Spyglass from the Lookouts and i'm still waiting for the Tuyere to drop from the Steamsmiths. What makes it worse is that there aren't that many Steamsmiths that spawn and that there are other players killing them as well for the same quest.

With the Lookouts, you could combine killing them with the quest, Set Them Ablaze! as you'd find them around the towers you need.

I agree with Kainr's comment and that you should do other quests nearby whilst waiting for the mobs to re-spawn.

Good luck.

Kommentar von Wufygirl

If you're lucky, the spyglass will also drop with the lookout with the Overlord. (https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=7701) It dropped for me, so I don't know if this occurs often or not, but it was an excellent way of killing two birds with one stone.

Kommentar von 121138

Drop rate for the Tuyere was practically nonexistent for me. Got it after 2 hours of farming these little suckers. Not to mention that there are only 6 of them and their respawn rate is so slooooooooow!

Good luck with this one peeps!

On to Spyglass now...

EDIT: Acquiring a Spyglass also took a few billion kills. The mere fact that there are a lot more lookouts then steamsmiths around made this one a bit less tiresome, but still pain in the butt.

Do this quest only if you have policy of solving all the quests there are or you are EXTREMELY bored, otherwise stay clear of it!

Once again, good luck!

Kommentar von 57826

I don't care if I get downrated for this, but this quest is the mother of all the !@#$ty quests in WoW! I hate it so f*cking badly! I just don't understand how blizzard could design a quest like this! 5 mobs! with about 5 min respawn rate! AND LESS THAN 5% DROP CHANCE!

Kommentar von 208707

lol. I got it in three kills. i read this review before I went to do the quest and was pretty bumed but when i got there I killed three and got the drop. lol. I love this quest!

Kommentar von 208707

funny thing is the spyglass dropped in about two kills so maybe im just awsome....

Kommentar von Garmheim

This was unquestionably the longest and most frustrating quest I've undertaken in a very long time. The easy part was the Smithing Tuyere. As noted already it dropped from the Steamsmiths on the north rim of the Cauldron. I had to wait for a couple Steamsmiths to respawn but got the item after killing 9 Steamsmiths. Then the frustration began. For the next 2 hours and 40 minutes, I killed Lookout after Lookout without getting the Spyglass. I killed every one of the Lookouts (5 or 6 Lookouts per tower plus the odd Golem who was in the way) at each tower at least 3 times each with some going as much as 5 times before the Spyglass finally dropped. I got a good deal of silver coin but that was small consolation for the time invested. The Spyglass finally dropped from a Lookout at the eastern-most tower. If the appearance of an item on any given MOB is random I must have paid dearly for others who got it after killing just 1 or 2 Lookouts. It's no fun on the long end of the bell curve.

Kommentar von 186549

This quest is ENTIRELY luck.

I got both items on the 6th and 7th kills respectively; took me all of 15 minutes, minus travel times.

Kommentar von 118494

This quest took me a LONG time to complete. The Spyglass took me the longest to get, which was over an hour. Good luck everyone!

Kommentar von 301280

The quest was long, and very time consuming. I agree with the above comment to perhaps work on other quests in the area while doing this one. Both drops for me, it took over an hour.

Kommentar von 261669

I dont know if this is the case but i killed MANY steamsmiths w/o getting the drop. i then went and killed 2 lookouts, got the drop, and then came and got the drop on my first steamsmith. so maybe go for lookout glass first?

Kommentar von 338242

This quest couples well with https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=7729 as you can kill the Taskmasters and Slavers while waiting for the Steamsmiths to respawn.
Another quest that couples well with it is https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=7723, as there are lots of Golems nearby.

A chest also spawns at 37.8, 48.7.

Kommentar von Apiecost

Does count towards Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms

Kommentar von kinggrills23

lol been killing these guys for about 30 minutes now and no luck still..hopefully the steamsmiths will drop one soon : (

Kommentar von 93069

Important read this!

The logging in and out works simply find the mobs log out then log back in kill them and the item will drop go to the other set of mobs and repeat and I guarantee you will get the item within the first kill. I had been working on this quest for half an hour when I saw the comments on here to try it and it does indeed work.

Kommentar von Slovak

This actually works. Having done this quest numerous times on a few alts, I decided to see if I was missing some steamsmith spawns or something of the like, in the hope of being able to complete this quickly on my hunter. As soon as I read this, I tried it, and got the Tuyere on the first kill. Not sure how it works, but it does

Kommentar von 303769

just tried the log in / log out thing... didn't work for me. i killed 3 lookouts and had no luck.
mind you, this is after killing lookouts and steamsmiths for about an hour and finally getting the steamsmith to drop his goodies. grrrr.
sooooo, i decided to try it yet again. logged and waited a few minutes, then logged back in, and got it on 2nd lookout.
idk?
hope others have less frustration with this than i did.

Kommentar von 477778

Must of got extremely lucky, got the spygalss on my 1st kill and the Tuyere on my 2nd. Though, I can see how this quest may be a pain in the butt. Good luck!

Kommentar von 470526

Drop Rate: Smithing Tuyere HORRID!
Drop Rate: Lookout's Spyglass Not Much Better!

By far the Smithing Tuyere is the hardest to get. Don't plan on just waltzing in and grabbing that thing quickly unless you have the gift of the WoW Gods on your team. And PRAY you don't have to fight with others to get it either. Been @ this quest for almost 2 hours now and still nothing. Got the Spyglass 1st shot. But that latter just SUX!

Note: Ok as I was posting this I killed 3 more of the Dark Iron Steamsmiths and nailed the Smithing Tuyere. w00t for me! 2 Hours 4 mins total time to complete this damn thing.

Kommentar von whichwitch

They may have upped the droprate on these items in a recent patch, because I just did this for Loremaster, and got both items within 15 minutes.

Or, I'm just really lucky and should drop everything to go to Vegas.

Kommentar von 174773

+250 thorium brotherhood reputation

Kommentar von 501083

Got the Lookout Spyglass and This on my first Lookout kill (I must be extremely lucky...). The Smithing Tuyere on the other hand, took 30 or so steamsmith kills. There are Heavy War Golems and a Taskmaster near-by the Steamsmith spawns, so you might want to do the other quest that involves them while you try to get the drops.

EDIT:

And here are some quests that would be good to do along with this one.

Quest 1

The Slavers and Taskmasters are all around, including 1 Taskmaster on the far eastern side of the Steamsmith spawns. The Easternmost Camp near this taskmaster also seems to sometimes spawn a taskmaster or Slaver in place of a steamsmith. (Or both.)

Quest 2

Quite a few of the mobs for this quest can be found right near the Steamsmiths, to the north.

Kommentar von 360166

I got the Tuyere on the first kill of the 3rd group of 6 steamsmiths

Kommentar von 694941

Okay so, I hadn't been doing the quest for too long, but it was my last quest in this area, so obviously I didn't want to wait for ages for the Tuyere. I read online about this /script LeaveParty() and tried it, but it never worked, I killed about 6 Dwarves. Then I read that smeone tried to click the macro while actually fighting, so I did that and spammed the hell out of it.

It worked ^^ Though I'm pretty sure it was just a coincidence, it was so good to be able to move on :P

Kommentar von Thottbot

Smithing Tuyere just dropped off a Dark Iron Steamsmith for me. Took me a while considering there arent many of them.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Tuyere drops from Dark Iron Steamsmith

Kommentar von Thottbot

I could only find 5 of these suckers. Respawn times varied, mine usually were about 8 minutes. I camped them for over 2 hours before I got the Smithing Tuyere. The Spyglass from the Lookouts was much easier. Could be just me and my bad luck, though.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found it in coords. (44,52) & (53,58) i need to kill the dwarves for the droop of items, good luck!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I didn't even have to kill a steamsmith, I stared him down hard and he gave it back and appologized.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The steamsmiths are located at 40.00,50.00

The lookouts are located around the towers that surounds the cauldron

Kommentar von Thottbot

Found steamers around 40,50 (or at least in that vicinity), and lookouts at 33,52.

Got the Tuyere on my fourth steamer and the spyglass on my second lookout. But liked the $$ and xp so much, I hung around and wiped the area...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got spyglass from lookouts at the tower at 33,54, Steamsmiths can be found at 38,50 , 40,48 , and 43,51

For those without co-ords the tower is the furthest to the west, and the steamsmiths are south of thorium point, along the edge of the cauldron going east

Kommentar von Thottbot

There's a 5 lookouts at 52,59. That's were the spyglass dropped for me.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was grinding for this spyglass for some 5 hours and got sick of it. In the meanwhile i abandoned and tool the quest perhaps 3 times. Then i submitted a ticket to GM, and got the following info:

Some addons are known to make problems with certain quests, try removing your addons and WTF directories.

I renamed them (didnt want to lose all the goodies in there), relogged, killed 4 lookouts and got the spyglass. Perhaps there is some wisdon in GM's words. Its hard to believe that it was pure luck.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Isent 52.1 59.1 abit wrong, that up in the mountain , tell me if you find them :)

EDIT : 37.49 did i found the and at 33.52 i found Lookout's Spyglass, ill hope it helps =) I just needed to kill 3-4 before it droped :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

You can find the lookouts at base of the large towers surrounding the cauldron.

Towers are easy to spot and theyre also marked on the map. theres 4 towers altogether with 1 to 3 lookouts each and sometimes golems.

dont go up the towers though, theres nastys up them =)

Kommentar von Thottbot

jsut keep grinding the smiths as they appear. Take time out to take on the odd wargolem, they seem to respawn quicker and the drop occurs in about 10 to 15 kills. Patience seems to be the key. Smiths sited around the large wheel and lift into the Cauldron for those without co ords.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I spent over an hour kiling Steamsmiths beore I got the last drop, it was the guy near the big spinning wheel that gave me the drop.

Kommentar von Thottbot

A lot of the frustration depends on what level you are doing the quests in this area at. I remember being driven nuts the first couple times because every kill had to be carefully lined up and buffs were usual. As I recall I was in the low 40s.

This time I didn't get around to it until I was level 50 and it was a breeze. So what if I had to kill 150 of the suckers, it was just like a relaxing grind with an extra bonus. Plenty of Mageweave, an occasional green, and lots of stuff around for other quests. Don't miss picking up the quest on the other side of the gorge where the big demon is sitting, just for a challenge at this level.

50 lock; all demon spec

Kommentar von Thottbot

Yeah, dropping and reobtaining the quest does help out. I got them both within 3 steamsmiths and 2 lookouts after trying to grind it out for about 3 days.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Easy quest really,

Dark Iron Steamsmith drop the Smithing Tuyere at around 37 50 under the tents.

Dark Iron Lookout drop the Lookout's Spyglass at around 36 60 by the big building.

This quest is great with Forging The Shaft - both of the quest mobs drop Thorium Plate Daggers.

For those of you who don't have coords, I suggest getting them but, follow the path south of Thorium Point until you reach Dark Iron Steamsmiths, then once you get the quest item go west and follow the edge of the Cauldron until you reach Dark Iron Lookouts .. hope this helps!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Maybe you guys are just really unlucky, i got my smith thingy on the 2nd kill, and the spy glass on like they 14th.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It always amazes me how people jump to conclusions when a quest item drops after a "totally unrelated" action is taken. I killed about 60-70 of those smiths and never got the tuyere. I left the comp, went to the fridge, got a glass of Merlot, came back, and it dropped on the second kill!
Does this mean if you want the tuyere to drop quickly, get a glass of Merlot and do it?

It's just a HORRIBLE DROP RATE, no matter how you look at it.

Addons have nothing to do with it, abandoning and retaking the quest has nothing to do with it, any of the so-called "tips" above have nothing to do with it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The tuyere actually dropped pretty quickly for me. About 20 minutes and 8 kills. (Waiting for the same respawns took most of the time.)
The spyglass though, I've been having more of a problem with. I finally got it after about an hour or so.

Kommentar von Thottbot

the smithing tuyere dropped for me after killing 2 people

Kommentar von Thottbot

during this quest its also good to pick up Forging The Shaft because you can get the Thorium Plated Daggers that you need while killing the Dark Iron Steamsmiths.

Kommentar von Thottbot

ya the spyglass was really easy for me it took bout 3 kills but the tuyere is a bit harder and im still on it and kill bout 30 of them so far

Kommentar von Thottbot

Dropped from the 14th steamsmith I killed, and the 8th lookout, took ages since the respawn is so bad, Blizzard should fix this quest in the next patch imo

Kommentar von Thottbot

Got this from the steamsmiths in 7 drops, but the looking glass from the lookouts in 25 drops. So overall, the 7.5% drop rate seems about right. I imagine most people only comment if they have unusually good luck or bad luck, but if things go as expected, most people don't bother to post.

Still a frustrating quest, and only did it to get Thorium brotherhood reputation since the reward wasn't too helpful for me. Do it while completing other quests in the area (lots of them) to break up the monotony.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I can confirm the terrible drop rate for this quest. It took me quite a number of kills to get the tuyere from the 5 dwarfs. Anyway, instead of whining about this, I just want to point out that this quest can take a very long time before you can complete it. I advise everybody to consider if this is worth the effort.

Kommentar von Thottbot

You shouldn't have to drop a quest to reaquire it because after 3 or more hrs of grinding it didn't drop.
This is the one thing this game is infamous for, the drop rate is probably the worse of any game in existence.
I wish Blizzard would do something about the drop rate in wow as it stinks. And the thing is this holds true in just about every quest. While I'm not saying don't make it easy I am saying don't keep it as terrible as it is now.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well, I've done this on three characters, now. The first time it didn't take all that long; somewhere around 10-20 mobs for each item. Good experience points, dark iron scraps, some greens and some moolah. Nice one.

The second time, nothing dropped for ages. Decided to just keep going as I was getting good xp and all the rest plus some ore. Did other quests at the same time and just killed these mobs when I passed them. They eventually dropped though I lost count of how long it took. Didn't really care as I got some greens and a blue, several stacks of mithril, dark iron and some thorium, loads of hearts of flame, essence of flame etc.

The third time, took about 20-30 kills for the first item and not long after, the second one dropped. Got some nice ore, money, greens etc... Shall I go on or do you see my point?

When the drop rate gets frustrating, change the way you look at it. Instead of wishing that Blizzard would improve the drop rate, just take it on the chin and do something else.

Hope this helps someone, at least! =)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got the spyglass after first kill. However, still going for the tuyere...wish me luck!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well, I can't find the Smithing Tuyere, and I do not have any addons so, I don't have the cords. :/

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This went EXTREAMLY easy for me.Spyglass dropped on 3rd lookout,and tuyere dropped on 1st streamsmith..couldnt have went better =D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

got the glasses on the 4th drop, but the tyuere, ive been here for 3 hr. nothing....

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got mine in 2 kills - tower at 32,53.

i have try to find tuyere over 4 hours now..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

the tuyere droped fairly fast for me, but the spyglass im having a prob with.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

How do you get these items? Do you just kill the dwarves over and over?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got the spyglass on the first drop but i have killed about 60 steamsmiths and still nothing

Kommentar von Allakhazam

lol the spyglass dropped for me on the first lookout i killed havent tried for the other thing yet

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got it to drop from one of the lookouts UP on the tower.

I suspect that they're the only ones who drop it; I got it while on the quest "Set Them Ablaze", which you may as well do at the same time.

I've killed at least 3 dozen of the buggers and no psyglass. At elast there's a decent respawn...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i got mine in 7 kills

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Wiped 6 towers and found the Spyglass and killed 2 steamsmiths and found the Tuyere. i am 60 so it might drop higher for me? who know but easy...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

49 Orc Hunter and there is no "!" above his head. I talked to him anyways and he just does some talking (no quest giving).. Any ideas?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got both items on my first try. So i guess i am the lucky one.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Seems much easier than before- 3 mins.- 4th Steamsmith dropped, 1st lookout

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The drops are quite rare. I was lucky enough to get Spyglass with only one kill and the Tuyere with about 20 kills. The gloves are really nice especially for priests for raids. And i suppose the leggings are nice for tanks, too.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

got tureye somewhere near 10-15 kills. spyglass is a little harder since lookouts arent spawning for jack today

nm that - go to the west tower and there are about 7 lookouts there.

lol the spyglass dropped for me on the first lookout i killed havent tried for the other thing yet

Kommentar von Allakhazam

OK I do not know if this is just dumbluck or what but I broke one mouse cussed like a sailor and killed those damn SMITHS for days but then I tracked quest and next kill it dropped.:-(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Only had to kill around 6 smiths and 4 look outs, a few months ago when I was watching my bro do it, it took him about 2 hours to get the tuyere, and 30 mins to get the spyclass

Edited, Feb 9th 2007 8:09pm by Kulsoro

Kommentar von Allakhazam

look out: 32,53
smithing: 40,50

3rd kill on look out - dropped
1st kill on smithing - dropped

lucky i guess.

well bare in mind i put this quest to the side a while ago because of the drop rate.
tried it again later on and it was good to go.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

if you dont have any thing useful to say like where it is then dont post no one cares if you soloed it as a lvl 47 homo. k

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got the Spyglass from one of the Lookouts on a tower, that was about my 4th guy I killed while workin on the quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

the smithing tuyere dropped on my second steamsmith.
took me a while to get the spyglass.
level 50 human frost mage.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Using the drop %'s for any quest item is stupid anyway. If someone isn't on the quest the chances of the quest item dropping are zero, yet that kill will still be tallied in along with the rest.

Kinda skews the results.......

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got spyglass at 42,64 one of the Lookouts at base of tower

Kommentar von Allakhazam

lol got the spy glasses in my 5th kill :) soo lucky :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

both of these items dropped for me on the first try from both the lookout and steamsmith. i dont beleive the 4% drop rate. unless i just got really lucky

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have been working on this quest for days now and have not gotten either item. I am starting to feel the quest is bugged somehow.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Okay so I am doing this as a mid 50's druid. I killed a ton of the lookouts and got nothing - finally I gave up and went to kill Overmaster Maltorious - the lookout standing next to him had the spyglass. Awesome!

As far as the Tuyere goes - it's not happening. I've killed so many Steamsmiths I want to cry. BOO!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

OMFG I have been on this quest forever... I agree with the "Abandon Quest" theory

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Before you get to Thorium Point, there's a Quest giver -Karlaran Windblade and his friend. Directly opposite him is a large wheel. Steamsmiths are on the other side of the wheel and on the camps on either side of it - towards the gorge. 4-6 Steamsmiths spawn there. Had to clear the camps and the wheel 4 times before the Tuyere dropped.

The Spyglass dropped on my 3rd Lookout.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got the spyglass following the same instructions after grinding about 60 lookouts, and have been grinding steamesmiths for over 2 hours. I don't think the quest is worth the time I put into it, could have been doing other things.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

its took me 5 days to find the items

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Smithing Tuyere just dropped off a Dark Iron Steamsmith for me. Took me a while considering there arent many of them.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i guess im lucky cos i got the Spyglass between 10-20 lookout kills

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was really lucky, got the spyglass on the first kill and the blacksmith tool on the 3rd...:)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've had probably 60+ kills without a drop of either item, but hey, at least I got a pair of Boots of Avoidance out of it. My first epic. :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

God, do these ever drop? It took probably 50 dark iron steam guys to get the Tuyere. I've killed many lookouts but haven't gotten the spyglass yet. Others have said they had to kill like 60 of those.

So thats what you have to look for...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Location for Tuyere is 40,50

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I killed about four or five lookouts outside one of the towers, and a about the same number of steamsmiths that were on the northern side of the pit, centered around (what else) a forge. Tuyere and spyglass both dropped quickly. Just a note-the plate sells for much more than the leather gloves if you are planning on simply vendoring the item like I did.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I received the Tuyere at 43, 51 in 2 kills. The pyglass onlu drops off the "lookout" mobs... and the 4 towers... Start with the tower closest to the drop of the Tuyere then work your way around the Calerdon to all 4 towers... if you are lucky but the third on it will drop... if not keep working the towers and "lookout" mobs... They will drop it... Took 25 mins for me... Solo...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got both on first kill ^^

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got the Lookout's Spyglass after 37 kills.

I am currently on kill 218 of the Steamsmith's with no drop...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

lol the spyglass dropped for me on the first lookout i killed havent tried for the other thing yet

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got my drops off the 6th Steamsmith and 1st lookout dood.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

this quest was wicked easy it took me 1 try for the glass and only 7 for the tuyure thing.All thanks to my 74 leaf clover

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed with a lvl 47 Warlock...Got the Smithing Tuyere with the first kill and the Lookout's Spyglass with the third kill.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Spent an hour & a half killing the 5 steamsmith guys. Nada.

Logged out, came back in 5 mins & bingo! Tuyere dropped on the 2nd kill (at 43, 51).

Got the spyglass on the last lookout guy I killed (at 33, 53) while doing The Torch of Retribution quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

got mine fom 1st steamsmith and 22nd lookout

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tuyere dropped in about 5 smith kills, but the spyglass took me a good 45mins grinding. Good grinding XP i guess, if your a grinder.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i killed 2 lookout for spyglass and i killed one steamsmith for smithing tureye

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have to agree. This quest is the total suck. I've killed countless dwarves without a drop for either.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The Tuyere. Low droprate but 15 or 20 kills mobs steamsmith in 40,48

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got the spyglass in about 7 kills, the Tuyere took 50+

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed as 49 mage.

The lookouts were easy to kill but I suggest that you use the Ice Barrier (if you have it) when you are grinding those so they don't mess up your casting time with their shooting.

The Tuyere dropped on my first kill, so can't give you much information on those guys.

I weren't as lucky with the spyglass. It took me about 5 times grinding through all the 4 towers to get it.

Results:

4400 xp
Thorium Brotherhood, +100 rep

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ok, This quest is rediculous! Garbage rewards & The drop rates are stupid. I've killed 27 Steamsmiths & around 25 Lookouts and NEITHER have dropped sofar while being camped by Alliance who also get the same quest? WTF GG Blizz. /prays that first kill after post will drop it as usual

Edit: 54 Lookouts & FINALLY Dropped... Now im being camped by a 51 Warlock while trying to get the Other peice. WOOHOO. F*CKING HATE ALLIANCE

Edit 2: 1 Steamsmith later, Forgotten Wraps Blue BoE Drops... AND GUESS WHO KILLS ME THE SECOND I LOOT IT.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

arrg wasting 2 hours and no drop

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got the tuyere after 2 kills, the looking glass took me over 15.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

where i can find these mobs? pls help!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got the Tuyere on the first steamsmith and then the Lookout Spyglass on the fifth

Kommentar von Allakhazam

After you get this quest, open up your Quest Log, find this quest, and click "ABANDON QUEST".

The spyglass is moderately easy to get, since there are a dozen or more Lookouts. The Smithing thingy SUCKS - there are only five Steamsmiths, and the drop rate is only 6%. If there's anyone else doing the quest, you'll be at it for HOURS and/or several trips.

(Incidentally, the Steamsmiths are located on the northern rim of the Cauldron - the big hole in the middle of Searing Gorge).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Not much of a problem for me did it as a lvl 58 warrior, spyglass from lookouts all over the place (2 kills) and the Tuyere dropped on my first kill from the steamsmiths at 37,48.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ha, it dropped on the first Steamsmith I popped. Go figure.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got my spyglass in one kill at the below mentioned tower... Still looking for theTuyere though :-(

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just want to add that if you are doing this with multiple people; don't worry about the spyglass loot rights because Multiple looting per kill on spyglass.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you need Thorium Brotherhood rep, this quest is a must (250 rep); otherwise, can't recommend it, it can turn into a very long and annoying grind.

For enchanters, Thorium Brotherhood rep is worth it.

Your goal: Formula: Enchant Weapon - Mighty Intellect. Weapon Vellums are cheap and 19 twinks will pay 350 - 400g for this enchant (it has no level restriction).

Kommentar von Allakhazam

lol i killed about 3 of each class and got the items. sry for the bad luck guys.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

needed 1000 kills

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i actually gained 40% of a lvl while doin this quest, yes i spent that long, and still no drop from EITHER type of required mob. While i generally dont mind this type of low drop rate quest, this one just went to far. I abandoned and moved on.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i didn't even have to kill any of the mobs...i just asked them nicely/

0 kills xD

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tuyere dropped after about 3 steamsmiths, but the looking glass took about 30 lookouts.

Don't forget that the watchtowers go all around the cauldron. There is one tower, on the south side @51,58, that has 5 lookouts around it - nice cluster

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The spyglass i got on first kill, but the other thing i spents hours grinding.

I gave up, Relogged and what do you know? dropped off first kill lol

Try it!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

got the spyglass on my first lookout and got the smithing tuyere withing 15 min.... *shrugs*

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Dropped from 3rd or 4th Steamsmith at 37,49, and from 5th lookout from next to the easternmost tower (52, 58).

Kommentar von Destruktio

I've killed 30-40 steamsmiths without a Tuyere so far, I'm fairly sure the quest giver is misinformed these obviously didn't steal it.

Kommentar von Freepy

This quest seems madness in Classic WoW. We tried to do this as a group of 5 to share spawns, but we ended up killing steamsmiths for nearly an hour to no avail. We are unsure if the quest is intentionally bugged or not.

Kommentar von leens

I'm still stuck on this quest after 2 hours of trying to kill steamsmiths. Still no drop. Thinking is a waste of time trying to finish this quest.

Kommentar von Vanthalas

They really kept the classic experience for this quest. The quest item NEVER drops.

Kommentar von soneil

I can confirm that these still do drop in classic so it's not bugged. Just a low drop rate. I had to kill over 15 of each before the item I need dropped.

Kommentar von Birdman3310

Guys -- this is a just a grinding quest plain and simple. It's a low drop rate item. It's meant to help fill the gaps for lack of quest quantity. So just do the quest and move on. You get your grinding XP and your little bonus xp at the end. People don't bat an eyelash at "loot 30 of this item and 20 of this item" type quests, but if you have to kill 20-30 mobs to get one item people lose their minds.

This quest for me: I counted
Tuyere = 12 kills
Glass = 10 kills

Kommentar von Syous

At level 60 I received 10 reputation, not 100 :(

Kommentar von Etreum

Since bloody Alliance groups and their bloody jumping mounts (Why do they have to constantly do that? Bloody frogs!) were around, it only took me 57,563 kills to get it.

Kommentar von SadOrc

1 hour of camping during which time 10 Alliance players got their Dark Iron Tuyere even though I got almost all of the tags, I absolutely recommend skipping this trash quest.

Kommentar von Shamana

Killed 8 to get the Smithing Tuyere. Good luck yall.

Kommentar von Dreadalous

Blizz taking the piss with this. 2 and a half hours and still no Tuyere (Whatever that is even).

EDIT: Well I effectively gave up on trying anymore so I asked if some guildies could help me complete GESUCHT: Aufseher Maltorius, Was zum Fluxus?! and Die Ummantelung der Flamme which they very kindly did (3 60s might sound a bit OP but the boss hits hard and can take hits).

After handing those elite quests in I killed the first Steamsmith I saw and the Schmiedewindform dropped right away.
I have NO clue if it's connected some how but might be worth a shot for other peeps to try and confirm.

GL!

Kommentar von Aloradus

44 kills

Kommentar von Translokator

If you are here because you think it has low drop rate, then yes, it has terrible drop rate. If you didnt get item from first 5 mobs, just delete quest and dont waste your time, trust me. Vanilla quest design is like "eey, let's ask for 20 kills but spawn only 5 mobs, that's gonna be fun"..

Kommentar von SassyBeard

Awful quest, not worth your time.
I'm so glad they don't make quests like this anymore.

Kommentar von luciussuberbus

Quest is utter trash. Hardly any steamsmiths and drop rate sucks. Dropped after 20 kills and no tuyere. *!@# off blizz.

Kommentar von Jupedx

2023 and this quest still sucks so bad for the tuyere drop. did a couple clears last night with a group to no avail. already cleared it over 15+ times utilizing the 5+ layers to swap to respawns with still no luck...
