In order to complete the swordsmithing quest you have to open the blacksmithing plans by the first Ziggurat on the undead side of Stratholme, just after you fight the abominations. The Baroness is at the top of the stairs. The plans are up against the wall directly to the right of the Ziggurat's stairs. When you click on them an elite named mob, the Black Guard Swordsmith, spawns that you have to kill and loot an item from, the Insignia of the Black Guard. Return that item to Seril Scourgebane in Everlook, Winterspring and you're done.

If you're only doing this to become a Swordsmith, you can just talk to the NPC and he will teach you Master Swordsmithing without doing a quest. This is new in The Burning Crusade, as far as I know.

In my previous post above, I was actually wrong! Please ignore it!

The Swordsmith is summoned in Strath from a scroll/smithing plans.

The scroll is to the right of the tower which houses the 'Baroness', and is on the floor by some barrels.

When I set out to finish this quest I was in a ten man raid. The blacksmithing plans were right where the above post said they'd be next to the Baroness' ziggurat. The plans themselves were laying out on the ground, and the gear appeared over them and I was able to open them. This summonned the keeper, but after killing him the item needed to complete the quest was not on him with the rest of his loot, I'm guessing because I was in a raid. Other people in the raid mentioned that with the new patch you are not able to leave a raid to get items like this anymore either, that you have to go in as a party. Don't have any hard facts on that yet. Anybody else shed some more light on this?

How do i get to the back enterance and where is it located?

Комментарий от Thottbot

is the back entrance the need key to open? if so, where can i get it? is this the entrance to the east in the cave?

thanks

Комментарий от Thottbot

how do you get to the back entrance and where is it? thanks

Комментарий от Thottbot

You gotta be a weaponsmith, level 50 or higher, and my blacksmith skill was around 270 when i was able to take on the quest. Be careful once you decide which of the 3 quests, sword, axe or mace, the other 2 will no longer be questable.

Just did it with a 60 paladin, 59 paladin, 58 druid and 60 rogue. Was way over kill...

This could be duo'd by two paladins or a warrior with a priest. He doesn't hit hard and doesn't have a lot of hp.

Комментарий от Thottbot

The back door into Stratholme is located along the northern wall north of the graveyard near Plaguewood in EPL....You will notice the back door as it will look like a brick structure on side of the northern cliff...There will be a gate that is locked, so you either need someone to pick the gate open or get the off the undead mini boss just before the abominations!

The plans that are looted to summon can be looted by only one person so random rolling would be fair!

Комментарий от Thottbot

What you need to do for this quest is to enter Stratholme (Baron run side - Use the back entrance). Once inside you need to find the shop called "Cash & Sons - Pawn brokers", this shop is right next to Baroness Anastari (NOT the Baron).

On the ground right next to the shop is a piece of paper called "Blacksmithing plans". When these plans are looted, a Blackguard swordsmith is spawned and attacks you.

The Blackguard swordsmith himself is relatively easy, you should have no problem killing him with a level 58-60 group. I was able to duo this guy with a level 60 priest by my side, me being a level 60 paladin with less than tier 0.5 gear.

Комментарий от Thottbot

I just soloed this at 68 being a paladin I was able to do enough damage and stay alive to make it.

Комментарий от Thottbot

The plans are just before the Baronesses ziggurat on the right side of it

Managed to do this quest solo at 70 as a paladin. I�m sure other classes could do it too. I threw on shield and 1h, and retribution aura. I went in the strat back door opened the first gate and hit holy wrath immediately. Then target one of the elites and keep spamming consecrate while whacking on the elite till he�s dead, then target the next elite and repeat, if you get low on health and the non elites are dead and u have to run, when u come back and there�s only 1 or 2 elites left in the group you can probably sneak past them

Turn right and go around the back of the church to the next group. The next group is basically the same, exorcism one of three elites, then LoS (line of site) pull around the back of the church building and hit holy wrath and spam consecrate again till they�re all dead while targeting the elites and whacking on them.

Next I went through the 2 gauntlet gates and put my 2h weapon on and Sanctity aura, I would suggest retribution if u don�t have sanctity but its no biggie imo, the next bunch of mobs are solo pullable, go get rid of them, banshees, crypt fiends and the patrolling gargoyles. LoS pulling back through the gauntlet gate and behind the wall helps to not get adds or gets feared by the screechers. Watch out for the eyes of naxx too as this s a popular place for them to come out from.

There�s a group of 3 mobs on the right, and a group of three on the left near the cart. You can walk through the middle of these without agroing. Then just past the wall on the right there�s 2 ghouls with the blacksmithing plans behind them, pull them and kill them both, they�re fairly easy.

Now this is the tough part, there�s a gargoyle patrol that fly�s close to the ziggurat solo pull this guy when he comes so he doesn�t agro.

Then wait till the banshee floats over near the ziggurat and u can sneak past the plans and past the group of three humanoids so you�re close to the back of the ziggurat. Pull the banshee when she�s close to the LoS, you wont be able to do a complete LoS pull so just get her back as far as possible and the run up and melee and you shouldn�t agro the 3 humanoids.

Now go back up close to the wall and loot the plans and run back toward the back of the ziggurat, the mob will spawn and he�s easy to kill, loot him and then go back to Winterspring to hand in the quest

axesmith quest next although i dont know how soloable it will be, a lot harder i think since its in brs

Комментарий от Thottbot

really easy if you are a lvl 70 rogue. clear the 2 mobs and pick the plans. take out the spawn. barely lost health

Комментарий от Thottbot

well i did the quest from the masterswordsmith guy and all he says just ask nicely and ill teach you master swordsmithing and then nothing else.. and im at 350bs and level 70. anyone know what i should do

Комментарий от Thottbot

what side of strat is the quest on? im really confused cuz no one says what side

Комментарий от Thottbot

70 rogue solo
if you go in the back gate you need to go strait to the next gate not left. I just used distract on the mobs by the gate then opened and ran in. stealth past all the mobs on the right and around the wall you will see 2 ghouls. those are the only 2 you need to kill. the plans are along the wall by those 2 guys. right click scroll to summon the 61 elite. stealth back out how you came in.

Very easy for me to solo. I stealthed into UD Strat. There are a few zombies that have enchanced vision, but not too many, so it wasn't too hard for me to zig zag past them.

I walked to the "Cash & Sons - Pawn Brokers" and grabbed the plans laying on the floor. The LVL 61 Elite appeared at the door of the store front. No other Mobs were aggro'd by me or the fight that ensued. I turned on Evasion and killed him easily.

Комментарий от Thottbot

i solo'd this as a 70 hunter easily. u dont even half to kill any groups except the two man group right in front of the plans. walked from the gate along the wall (i do mean HUG the wall) and didnt aggro any of the mobs in first room. pull all the single's in the middle and make sure u get all the flyers. turn right and there is the one 2-man mob pulled one ice trapped the other, when he unfroze killed him. grabbed plans killed the smith and booked it out. talk about a cake walk

Комментарий от Thottbot

ive read in various threads, that the quest "corruption" is required for a weaponsmith to become a swordsmith. i'm lvl 52, bs241. got to WS, talked to the NPC, but he didnt offer any quest. he just asked me if i want to become a swordsmith, and when i answered "yes", the swordsmith skill was added in my skill book. Has sth changed, or have i done sth wrong?

Комментарий от Thottbot

If u did the weaponsmith specialisation quest, u just walk in Everlook and pick what spec u want.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Any bs can learn this recipe now btw. armorsmith/weaponsmith, doesn't matter.

Only req is 280 bs skill.

Well, it looks like I'm completely screwed.

45 Paladin, with 270 smithing.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

is there a prereq for this quest?

Festivmaggot
60 Pala on Shadowsong EU

Комментарий от Allakhazam

No prereq on the quest, other than you beeing an artisane weaponsmith, get it in Everlook, Winterspring.

What I wanna know is; Is there any known way to solve this quest if you are member of a raidgroup ?,

Or is it ONLY solveable in a 5 persons team ?

If yes to the last question, i'd say 5 x level 60 of certain professions are needed.

I'm a lvl 53 Warrior and i recently completed this quest with some guildies... a 60 pali (as the main and only healer) 59 mage and 2 60 rouges... it was pretty easy, even with a pali healer... if u know where the guy is and u can avoid the baronesses aggroits not to hard at all... besides completing the quest u get the plans for corruption good xp and in our case 2 blue drops on the way to the black guard

Комментарий от Allakhazam

As of this post, I was unable to loot the corpse in a 10-man. Must have been fixed or something.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

it is getting there that is the problem.

This is a 5 man quest. However, I learned how to spawn the encounter when I was part of a raid.

If you have a the key to the Service Entrance, the problem lies in the mobs between the back door and the Baroness' ziggurat.

Once you step out of the service entrance, you will face 3 mobs with 7 baddies each. Head forward and follow the passage into the area where the Baroness' ziggurat comes into view.

In this area, the mobs are more manageable, since most groups are between one and three monsters. Simply pull to where you came out off (the drop gate) and fight each group there.

Move towards the ziggurat. If you look to the right of the ziggurat, you will see a side street, some boxes and a set of plans on the floor. Clear the area as a precaution, then interact with the plans on the floor.

This spawns the undead smithy, with a quote along the lines of "You will pay for these plans with your bones" (or something similar). 61 elite, if I recall. Not difficult. Once he drops, those with the quest can loot the insignia.

And, yes, Undead Stratholme can be 5 manned. The problem lies in getting a group together. We got as far as the Slaughterhouse, but it ended there due to dmg to our gear. 60 tank, 60 and 58 pallies, 57 hunter and 60 mage.

Scarlet Strat... well, that's another story.

Hiya!

My Paladin is now Lvl54 and i got that Quest! Now i want to complete it, but there's noone willing to help since they say i'm dead meat when entering!

Now i'd like to know if there's an opening to complete it when i'm with 4 Lvl60s around?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Can anyone tell me where to get the key to the service entrance and can anyone give detailed instructions for completing this quest?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I'm a lvl 53 warrior and i fairly easily completed this quest with a few of my guildies... we had a 60 pali 2 60 rouges and a 59 mage... so the pali was our healer... which seemed like a chalange in itself... but basicly we just enterd the back door to strat killed the first 3 groups of undead... hung a right into the gauntlet part aggroed the mobs there one by one or in groups of 2 or 3... avoided the baronesses aggro, i grabbed the plans, black guard apeared it was an easy kill and he droped the quest item...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Soloed as a lvl 70 holy pally

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Im level 58, and cant get help doing this quest. am half tempted to offer to pay people to go with me, just so I can complete the quest. Have 4 sets of plans in the bank, just waiting on me to get swordsmith. LBRS, and UBRs have been good to me. But cant read till I get swordsmith.

So being level 52, and talking about not getting help for it. think how I feel at level 58.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

it is possible to obtain this at lvl 51 (prolly hard to do it tho :-P)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

strat isn't really a 55-60 then, exclusively 60s. very difficult quest.

Staring at seril and No quest at level 44 :) Lil too early.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This quest is very difficult it seems as I cannot find anyone, let alone my own guild to help me out with it :(

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Found this on another website. Hope it helps. Will be trying this soon.

Stratholme is a difficult instance for a 5-Man group at level 60, let alone lvl50. In order to complete the swordsmithing quest you have to open the blacksmithing plans by the first Ziggurat on the undead side of Stratholme, just after you fight the abominations. The Baroness is at the top of the stairs. The plans are up against the wall directly to the right of the Ziggurat's stairs. When you click on them an elite named mob, the Black Guard Swordsmith, spawns that you have to kill and loot an item from, the Insignia of the Black Guard. Return that item to Seril Scourgebane in Everlook, Winterspring and you're done.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Hi
I just finished this quest as a 60 Pally with 60 priest, 60 hunter, 60 mage and with a 60 druid tank. It is not easy to get to the swordsmith as most pulls you will get 2-3 sometimes 4-5 mobs at a time along the way. Swordsmith was easy to take down tho but I would definatly suggest you get to 60 before going in here :).

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Did it last night. The party consisted of a level 65 Hunter(myself) and a level 60 Rogue.

Followed the advice in here and eventually completed it. We were a bit under powered, but pulling, killing, feigning death, over and over eventually worked.

As soon as you come out of the servants tunnel, the first group of 7 (3 elite/ 4 non) is so close to the gate it was tough to finesse this. The other big thing was the patrol of a group of about 9 flying gargoyle things. There was no way for the two of us to take them out, so after some time and a number of deaths, we figured out the pattern well enough to avoid the patrol.

With the two of us alone, we could manage two on two pretty well, but anything more and it was death and/or feign death.

Good fun though.

The plans for the sword Corruption are all but worthless as the mats would cost a fortune that I think few, if any, would pay.

The Blazing Rapier rocks though!
