If you can't get into BRD or don't have the time to make a full run, I would like to second the farming of the Firegut Ogres. They don't drop them in bulk like some of the larger NPCs in BRD but they do drop them very frequently.

However, if you are farming these things for the Inisgnia of the Dawn, there are better ways to get insignias. Turning in Bone Fragments will also get you insignias.

Scourge warders in EP have fewer HP than the firegut and often drop more bone fragments than firegut drops dark iron scraps. Plus you can also collect scourgestones while you are in EP, thus increasing your rep faster and that means you need fewer insignias to buy your pretty items from AD vendor.

I did a little video to show where i (60 mage at that time) farmed Dark iron scraps. This ride takes 30-40 min Mobs are 50+ elite and drops an average of 2-3 dark iron scrap each. Sell or turn in your choice.

*Priced used were taken on AH while this patch came live.

Hope it'll help some people

A lot drops in BRD as well

I have found these in and outside of BRD drops from Anvilrage people, looks about 45% drop rate for me and they drop in stacks of 2-5

Комментарий от Thottbot

who drops these? all the quest says is mobs in Searing Gorge and Burning Steepes. Any info would be really helpful thanks a lot

Комментарий от Thottbot

I have been killing some Anvilrage dwarves in Blackrock Mountain, and they seem to have a fair droprate for there level.
They're easy to kill, and they drop Dark Iron Scraps, Dark Iron Residue and Runecloth.

30 Crypt Fiend Parts = 1 Insignia of the Crusade
These drop off of Crypt Fiends in northern EPL near terrordale or in the terrordale tunnel, also from Strat.

30 Bone Fragments = 1 Insignia of the Crusade
Drop off of any Undead in EPL or WPL

30 Dark Iron Scraps = 1 Insignia of the Dawn
Drop from most humanoids in Burning steppes and Searing Gorge. Drop in large stacks (3-5) from BRD.

30 Core of Elements = 1 Insignia of the Dawn
Drop from elementals in Burning steppes and Searing Gorge. Also from BRD elementals in stacks of 3-5.

Combine IotC and IotD for turn ins to get gear from the Argent Dawn. The gear and what you need can be found here.http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/factions/argent/
Select your current reputation rating with AD and see how many you need.

Good luck!

Drops from the orcs in Burning steppes, got 2 in ~6 kills. Also drops from the dwarves in Searing gorge, I think its about the same drop rate, but haven't tested it in greater numbers.

Комментарий от Thottbot

do you need to have the quest to get them to drop? I guess not but i wanted to see if anyone knew.

Комментарий от Thottbot

seem that the drop rate for these inside BRD is hugh.

only killed the first 3 mobs and got 9.

also core of the elements that are for the same sort of quest.

my recomendation.

try and tagg along with a "jail break" group or even just go in with some guildies and farm them.

good thing is that atm they are NOT BoP so if you feel as if you need to earn some money. Sell them on the AH. saw 60 selling for over 100g on my servers Ah last night.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I went in there with my ungeared warrior and got about 4 off every dwarf. Then I took my epic geared hunter in there and i got 2 for the whole first room.

?

I went back in there with my warrior and nothing dropped at all. I have no idea what the drop rate is.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Tried to farm these in Searing, but found that the best place (except instances, may be) is Burning Steppes, blackrock orcs (may be fire ogres, if orcs are too tough for you).

I suppose droprate of any argent trash depends only on mob level, so 56-58lv orcs are the best.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Ive been grinding them orcs and their droprate is great + i get runecloth for bandages iff they get some dmg on me. anyways they only drop 1 at a time while the brd dwarfs drop 4+ its all about what u can handle

Комментарий от Thottbot

I started out killing dwarves in Searing Gorge and had no luck at all. I went back to the npc in EPL that gives the quest to ask where the dark iron scraps drop from and he says "creatures" in Searing Gorge, Burning Steppes, BRD, etc. I wasn't sure what kind of "creatures" this meant so I started killing dwarves, spiders, golems, elementals, and everything else I came across in SG and still haven't gotten one to drop.
I rarely have time to do an entire instance so BRD is pretty much out of the question. I'm gonna try orcs in Burning Steppes like one of the previous posters suggested...
And as far as the quest for Elemental Cores, I killed lots of elementals in Searing Gorge and didn't get any of those to drop either.
For the skeletal bone fragment quest (or whatever the item is called) I had lots of luck in the crypt near Uther's Tomb in WPL. Good spawn rate there and not many farmers.

EDIT: I found the best drops off of Firegut Ogres in Burning Steppes.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Fire Ogres in Burning Steppes are the best place to farm them (aside from BRD)...I got 9 in 30-45 minutes. They also drop runecloth pretty frequently.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I played LBRS with my friend some days ago and i got around 1-4 from each other mob i could loot. I recommend too try it

Комментарий от Thottbot

Well it doesn't show on thott yet, but If you are a rogue, just grab a ton of Dark iron ale , head to the bar in BRD and do some fishing. Full bar clear takes 25 minutes and you should get about 35-50 scraps a run(takes me 15 beers to clear it all, kill plugger and loot the 5 off the table and you won't have to do runs just to stock up)

Use stones, and mongoose/giants/firewater to speed things up, and bring a buddy if you want things to go faster.

Yes the non elites can drop them in 2-4 stacks, much love in there right now as the scraps AH for 1g on my server, got my epic mount in 2 days.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I had a 90% drop rate off Firegut Brutes in Burning Steppes (Dreadmaul Rock).

Lots of runecloth as well, got nothing to complain.

Комментарий от Thottbot

i got about 90 off the firegut in about 2.5 hrs
you also get money, greenies, the chance of a nice drop and runecloth, there is also a few veins and a chest in the mountain.

WELL worth a grind now and then.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Been grinding the Firegut ogres in the cave in Burning Steppes.

3 hours grinding, 240 ogres (various kinds) 89 drops. Works out as a drop every 2.7 ogres.

Drop rate fluctuated over time, sometimes 20 ogres dropped 10, sometimes just 5 scraps. No pattern to it.

If someone could log the same kind of stats for solo grinding the orcs I'd be grateful.

Комментарий от Thottbot

The little keep just south east of the entrance into the Blackrock mountain, there are bunch of orcs inside and they have a great drop rate. I farmed for about and hour and got abotu 50 less than what I needed for 7 insignias. If you can get someone go to with you, you can farm the orcs right outside the BRS portal, they drop multiples, but they take a bit to down and you'll waste them all and have to wait for repops.

The keep is great, clear the guys outside, then inside and the outside guys will be back and after clearing the outside again the ones inside will start popping up one at a time depending on how you killed them. (rogue, I sap, kill one at a time cause there are patrols).

Комментарий от Thottbot

I love people who buy those scraps for 1g a piece. Theyre nuts but i love them and thanks to them, i got lots of gold now !

And the best place to get those is definatly BRD. Being 60 and geared out, i can 3-man this place, 2-man if we are just doing trash mobs.

So it gets pretty easy to farm BRD. And the drop rate is awesome for DI scraps or core of elements. Just ask a few buddy, farm that place, u will get about 60 DI scraps and 60 cores an hour. And if its not enough, theres always all the other crap, Dark Iron ore, Black diamond, the dark coffer ( always handy to have his libram rdy :P )

Have fun doing BRD, get ur quests done and get loots !

Комментарий от Thottbot

Is there a use for these items for the Horde as well?

Where does a Horde player turn them in?

Комментарий от Thottbot

People are farming 600000000 of them, is the argent dawn quest repeatable?

Комментарий от Thottbot

i have 20 of these and was just wondering what to do with all of them. are they still valuable after bc?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The scraps are easy to farm solo at level 60, as long as you can kill groups of two lev51 elites and three lev49-50 non-elites.
After killing the two dwarves guarding the first big room in BRD, you should be able to pull the three-dog patrols wandering the room. Even though the dogs are non-elite, they drop 3-4 scraps a pop (the dwarves do too, but they're more annoying). Once you kill all the pats, leave the instance and reset it, then repeat.
I got 30 scraps in 15 minutes this way.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Ive been farming this in brs,the drop rate is pretty good^^one every third kill or so.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This might sound unusually stupid but i cant for the life of me figure out where to turn these in.

Any prequests to the dreadnaught quest mentioned here I need to do in order turn these in ?

Any help would be apreciated..

Oh yah, the invasion is done with on my server, but it seems strange that these keep dropping if you cant turn them in, no ?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i think you got to be friendly to turn em in

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I was following a lv 52 through burning steppes and we were killing the orges there and numerous ones dropped alot i got 8 and we didnt kill very many went and killed the elite drags but i got 8 pretty fast i thnk Burning steppes off the ogres is good to get them.

The dark iron dwarves in searing gorge have a pretty high droprate, i got ten over the course of questing in a few hours, i imagine if you just farmed them, you could probly get one every 4-5 dwarves

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i get wya more than that i get about 30 in 20 minutes from the ogres

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I can not get him to start the quest

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I find that the non-elites drop one scrap per about every 15 you kill, with a preferance for DI Slavers.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I've been killing the orcs at Blackrock Stronghold a while ago and out of ten killed I got about 3 or 4. I don't know if I'm just lucky, or if the orcs there have a higher drop rate, but it may be worth checking out.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The non-elites out in Searing gorge drop 1 each, the elites in BRM/BRD/BRS drop 3-4 each

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I have killed 5 elites in BRD so far, 0 drops.

Sorry for the multiple posts... the submission page froze up so I didn't think it got through, and then I tried to edit the posts, but it wouldn't let me.
I'm not a noob, I swear.

The drop rate in Searing Gorge isnt too bad. I been questing here for a day or 3 and have 3 on me and at least 10 or so in bank.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The orcs in Burning Steppes have a rather high drop rate.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

These are easily farmed as a lev60 hunter.
First, go to BRD. Freeze trap one of the dwarves in front of you and kill the other, then kill the first. Repeat on the group to the left. (These four alone should net you at least one drop of 3-4 scraps.) The center of the large room should be open to you - use multishot to pull one of the 3-dog pats that wanders around the place, then repeat until all the pats are gone, reset the instance, and start over.
I got 30 scraps in less than 15 minutes this way.
