When getting the blacksmith plans in Strathome an elite skeleton will appear.

Comment by Mongatsumi

There are actually two plans within the instance of Stratholme.

The first one is next to the second ziggurat and actually does spawn a Black Guard Swordsmith, a skeleton.

The second one is within the scarlet bastion and spawns the Crimson Hammersmith, a human.

As for Blackrock Depths, they are usually tucked away within the little cubby spaces along the walls and on the tables in the golem construct area with all the gnomes. Any plans looted within Blackrock Depths will NOT spawn adds.

Plans: Dark Iron Mail, Plans: Dark Iron Shoulders drops in BRD, one spawn per instance in different positions

West Garrison
- near General Angerforge in the wall (bets)
- on the middle table as you go downstairs to General Angerforge
The Manufactory
- goblin construct hall on the bench (need to kill one group + golem)
- left side of Golem Lord Argelmach on the ground (as are 3 barrels)
Mold Foundry
- right next to stairs

there may be some other spawns

In regards to Blackrock Depths, there are two spawn points in one run, so it is possible to acquire both of the Dark Iron recipes with one trip. I found the first next to Golem Lord Argelmach, as mentioned above. The other I found in one of the rooms behind the High Interrogator Gerstahn during the same sweep.

Really poor design on Blizzard's part IMO. Just like the Unforged Rune Covered Breastplate in UBRS and the unfired plate gauntlets for the blacksmith quest in LBRS, these items can be looted by anyone in the group, but if you're not on the quest, all that happens is that you despawn the item, preventing anyone actually a blacksmith or on the quest from completing it until the instance is reset. So if you're not a blacksmith and/or don't have the quest, DON'T TOUCH.
If you are in the instance to get these plans, make sure everyone in your group understands this. Unfortunately, some people are selfish and WILL try to ninja it unless it's clear from the start that they have nothing to gain.

I was only able to loot this item once on my blacksmith character. (Plans: Corruption for those wondering.) Blacksmiths will need to visit the other plans - listed in above comments - to be able to keep collecting.

(Plans: Dark Iron Shoulders always):

* Just after you go up the ramp and to the left in the room after the Shadowforge Lock.

Here is my screen-shot but from a different angle. I hope this is helpful.

(No insult intended, collector - I'm just that bad at directions and I actually pray there are no other people like me in this regard. :\ )

Well I think it's worth noting that Plans: Corruption IS infact dropped by the plans on the ground near the second ziggurat in Stratholme. But you will not be able to loot it, unless you have blacksmithing, AND the quest Weapons for War wich is given by Master Craftsman Wilhelm who stands inside the lookalike church just as u open the gate.

However, if u wanna take this plan to AH and give other BS a chance to get all recipes aswell, u can abandon the quest, and retake it after a reset of the instance and the plans will be lootable once more.

Comment by Mondoblasto

On my DK BS in Legion and other alts, I discovered the plans for the first time, having not really delved into it before. One thing I found is that only a BS can use the Plans now, they won't even show as being interactable for other professions.

Comment by Cerms

If you are farming this in Stratholme Undead, the plans weren't interactable until I grabbed the quest from the dwarf hammering the water fountain inside the chapel when you enter stratholme.
