This is the quest to be able to smelt Dark Iron. More information can be found at http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=14891.

Comment by BlackZam

If I drop mining.
Can I do this quest again if I decide to pick up mining again?

Comment by unitepunx

I know the spell "Smelt Dark Iron" requires 230 mining, so you obviously have to be a Miner for this quest. But does it Require Mining?

If one doesnt have Mining as a profession, can the skill still be learned, in case mining is taught later on?

Sounds like a stupid question, but I'd like to know. :)

Comment by Blackthorn

The quest is only offered if you're a miner. I think you might also need to be 230, not positive but I dont remember being offered the quest til 230+

Comment by Dungeonz

So... can anyone give coordinates of the object that starts the quest to learn this?

Comment by Lombra

No, since there are no coordinates in instances.

Comment by melisma

This quest does count towards Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms.

Comment by okaive

where do I get the quest at?

Comment by Fithin

This is the quickest route but requires either BS made keys, or a Rogue. You enter the instance and open the door to your left. Go until you see a door to your right and open that as well. Go through and there is a door on your left. Open it and watch for the patrolling Fireguards. There are stairs to your right, you want to go to the left. You will see Shadowforge Lock and you need to click on it to unlock it. Be careful not to aggro any of the mobs. After unlocking it go back to the stairs and then go up them. Take the path to the left and continue until you find a door. Go through it and continue bypassing all mobs that you can. Watch out for Fireguard Destroyer's that patrol the area. You will come upon an open area, you will want to go right, down to the room with the lamps.

Go away down a bit and turn right to the last path before the dead end room. If you have gone right way you will see a passage with some Fireguard Destroyers on left and right. Go straight through and you will be in 'The Bar'. Go right up to the stairs. At the end of the room you will see Plugger Spazzring. Pick pocket him to get Grim Guzzler Key. After this he will yell and aggro the area to you!. Go back just after the stairs there is a door behind Phalanx. Open it with the key.

You will find yourself in a large circlular room. Bypass as many mobs as you can then on your left there is an entrance. Go down and you will see Ambassador Flamelash. Ignore him and go to the left. There is an entrance here. Take it and go down to a large room with Moltem War Golems. Go through them and keep going straight. You will see a stairs leading down, take them and go through the door. Congratulations you are in the 'Summoners Tomb'.

Talk to Gloom'Rel (2nd ghost dwarf on your right). Talk to him and a Spectral Chalice will appear. Click on it and turn in the required materials to complete the quest and talk to Gloom'Rel again who will now you know teach you how to smell dark iron!

This quest does count for your 3,000 Quest achievement. I tested it today and i saw my total go up :)

Comment by ksog

This is found in the Summoner's Tomb region of Blackrock Depths. Talk to Gloom'rel before starting the event and he will create the chalice.

Comment by Defca

Make sure to have items for quest with you when you heading there, because its an "instant-turn" quest.

Comment by Gilgalas

for this quest, the quick facts for it should say requires mining to obtain this quest. Thats one option or suggestion wowhead devs should put for some quests that require a certain profession.

Comment by rezputan

So I found gloom'rel and i spoke to him and turned in the quest for the chalice but wen i talked to gloom'rel again he doesn't teach me it.

Comment by CycloneDuke

There is a known issue currently with this-
If your mining skill is 526 or higher, Gloom'rel will not teach you how to smelt Dark Iron Bars after you complete The Spectral Chalice.

It's on it's way to being fixed, and I expect that people who completed the quest can just come back and talk to Gloom'rel again later to learn the smelting, without needing to complete the quest again and spend more materials.

Comment by Joyouslydead

Ah now that's gratitude for you. "teach me to smelt dark iron please"... "Thanks, now I'll just kill you & your 6 buddies off"...

Comment by parkerj316

Ok here is a very detailed account of what to do to be able to learn the ability Smelt Dark Iron. I am creating this one detailed as possible because it is annoying to get bits and pieces by reading through several posts to get all of the info needed.
1. Before heading to Blackrock Mountain to go into Blackrock Depths you should gather these items in these amounts for the quest Spectral Chalice.
Gold Bar x20
Truesilver x 10
Star Ruby x 2
2. Next you head to Blackrock Mountain to go into Blackrock Depths.
3. Once inside the instance Blackrock Depths, turn to your right and you will see a bullet like drilling machine(aka digger) sticking out of the ground. When you click on it choose the option "take me just past The Grim Guzzler". When you load back in from taking the digger there is a mob, after the mob you will turn right, go down a flight of stairs, turn right again and bypass Ambassador Flamelash by turning left in his chamber. Follow the little hallway to the Mold Foundry, once in the Mold Foundry you will follow the room around to the right where you will enter the Summoner's Tomb.
4 . You will speak to Gloom'rel which is the second dwarf on the right upon entering the Summoner's Tomb.
5. When you speak to him you will ask him to tell you all his secrets and he will summon the Spectral Chalice to the right of him that will have an exclamation indicating a quest. Pick up the quest and if you have brought the above mentioned items you will be greeted with a lit up question mark signaling you are able to turn it in.
6. Be sure you speak to him again after you have turned in the quest and you will tell him "I have paid the price now tell me your secrets" and he will grant you the ability to smelt Dark Iron.
When you get or if you have already aquired the Dark Iron you wish to smelt, then you can either kill the seven and the door will open. Once you have gone through the door there is a door to your immediate right that leads you to the bridge that takes you to the Molten Core. To the left and just before the bridge is a set of train tracks leading to where you actually smelt the Dark Iron.

Hope this helped!

Completed this quest a few minutes ago. I don't know why, but when I have 2x Star Ruby + 20x Truesilver Bar + 6x Gold Bar, quest just take 6x Gold Bar.

Comment by Gari22

This quest can be completed even if the required materials are in your bank.

Comment by Nashoto

By the way don't jump through the lava to the forge folks. It's not friendly since WOD

Comment by Ragestatus

Hey everyone, just wanted to add that, in 6.2.3, Gloom'rel taught me to smelt Dark Iron Ore for free.

I had the items mentioned in these threads (Gold Bar x20, Truesilver Bar x10, Star Ruby x2) but he did not take them OR spawn a chalice. I was given one dialogue box when interacting with him, then instantly taught the spell.

The spectral chalice floats in the air, slowing rising and falling... as if to the beat of a dying heart.
