What does this information mean?

Starting the quest[]

  • The shiny is directly to the right of the zone line; you can zone in, get the shiny and zone out without engaging any mobs at all. If you are using a Gnomish Divining Rod or the Track Harvestables skill, it will show up as "a mysterious thread" in the list.
    A Thread of Hope quest - shiny

    The quest starter

  • Only one person may loot the shiny per instance, but looting the shiny does not lock you to an instance for more than 30 minutes. Clicking on the shiny will place "a mysterious thread" in your inventory; however, it is not tradeable or shareable via lottery with a group. When the quest starter appears, should you click "Decline", the thread will disappear from your inventory and you would need to go into a fresh instance of Deep Forge to get another one.

Note[]

  • You need to be a level 55 crafter to make the armor.

Consolidated shopping list for all items needed to make the Magmatic Bronze Armor

Note: Collect the Magmatic crystals before going to the library, the burnt recipe page 4 did not show up for me until I collected the crystals

Recipes (looted in Deep Forge):

Materials:

Please note: You must make this armor at Ruddybupp's forge in the Deep Forge instance. Each recipe requires 2 Brick of iron ore, but the crafter receives 1 back for each successful combine. If you have these pieces made through the commissioning system, be sure to uncheck the Crafter receives side products checkbox.
