What to do

Read the Encrypted Rune and speak to Solm Hargrin in Anvilmar.

The quest giver's words

<name>, this rune was given to me to pass on to ye. Take some time to read it when ye have a chance. I'm thinkin' it came from the rogue trainer Solm. Take a gander at it and go find him inside Anvilmar.

Progress

You made it! Great!

We've got an influx of activity lately, so I'm glad to count another of the Ironforge clan among our numbers. Nothin' like a cold blade in your hand and a shadow to keep you one step ahead, and if you're here, you know exactly what I mean!

Completion

Anyway, as you start peekin' around Coldridge you'll probably have need of training at some point. You just come back to me whenever you feel you need it and I'll teach you what I know--a trick here, a maneuver there. You know, the stuff that keeps you alive and makin' a little extra coin.

Keep an eye out on our gnomish friends too... they kinda got the short end of the stick what with Gnomeregan being... destroyed. They'll need our help to feel welcome.

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 (Coldridge Valley), 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.
