What to do
Bring the Cask of Scalder to Furen Longbeard.
The quest giver's words
You really showed what you were made of when you ran the Rethban Gauntlet, <name>. And I'm true to my word. I'll get you the reward I promised...
Except it's in Stormwind.
Talk to my friend, Furen Longbeard, in the Dwarven District of Stormwind. He's the best shieldsmith you'll ever meet, and he owes me a big favor.
Here, take Furen this cask of Barleybrew Scalder and ask him for a shield. He'll give you a nice one.
Progress
Hello! Dry times, don't you think?
Completion
Ah, Barleybrew Scalder. Great stuff! So you've been to see Yorus, eh?
I can get you a shield, yes sir! You won't find a better one, and that's no lying!

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Redridge Mountains), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
