The Sons of Hodir - Hated! Help!

My friend has recently pointed out to me that I can get some good enchants from The Sons of Hodir. But then I noticed that I am hated with them.

So I went to wowhead to check and see if I could get myself unhated with them and I noticed that I am nearly finished with their list.


Q u o t e:

Here are the quests needed to open up The Sons of Hodir Faction.
They Took Our Men! (Starts from Gretchen in K3) - Kill mobs around 40,70 for Cold Iron Keys, use keys to open cages and free Goblins.
Leave No Goblin Behind - Enter the mine at 42,70 and Lok'lira will be on the left.
The Crone's Bargain - Kill Overseer Syra for quest item. Syra pats around the mine a bit.
Mildred the Cruel - Go up the stairs and speak to Mildred.
Discipline - Use Disciplining Rod on 6 Exhausted Vrykul inside the mine, sometimes they attack back.
Examples to be Made - Slay Garhal, who is just behind Mildred
A Certain Prisoner - Go down the stairs and talk to Lok'lira again.
A Change of Scenery - Go through the mine and exit on the other side. Lok'lira will be standing on the right.
Is That Your Goblin? - Talk to Agnetta (48,69) and kill.
The Hyldsmeet - Talk to Lok'lira and give proposal.
Taking on All Challengers - Go around where people are dueling and talk to the ones that are standing alone, then kill. Opens up Daily.
You'll Need a Bear - Talk to Brijana at 53,65.
Going Bearback - Mount the bear next to her and shoot flaming arrows at the Worgs and Giants.
Cold Hearted - Fly to 64,59, find drakes attached to chains and mount them. Use the frostbolt to unfreeze 3 prisoners, and head back to Brunnhildar Village. Rinse and repeat till done.
Deemed Worthy - Talk to Astrid at 49,71.
Making a Harness - Fly to the cliffs aorund 48,75 and kill Yetis for the 3 Hides.
The Last of Her Kind - Enter cave at 55,63 and Mount the bear at the back of the cave.
The Slithering Darkness - Go into cave (55,63) and kill 8 Jormungars
The Warm-Up - Use Reins of the Icemaw Matriarch, mount it, and kill Kirgaraak (50,67).
Into the Pit - Use the Reins and kill 6 bears inside the pit. Opens up Daily.
Prepare for Glory - Speak to Lok'lira again (48,69).
Lok'lira's Parting Gift - Speak to Gretta (50,65).
The Drakkensryd - Arguably one of the funnest quests in Wow. The drake will take you to the Temple of Storms. Once there, use the Harpoon given on other drakes flying. You will then grapple onto that drake and you must kill the rider. Once done, use the Harpoon on a Column Ornament to hook onto the temple. Turn in quest at Thorim.
Sibling Rivalry - Listen to Thorim's story.
Mending Fences - Fly to 73,62. Loot the Boulders on the ground and use the Item given to throw them at the Giants. One of the giants will drop This, leading to
The Refiner's Fire - Kill 10 Seething Revenants in the area for Furious Sparks.
Turn in these two quests back to Thorim and you will now be Neutral with The Sons of Hodir.



I know I've done "The Drakkensryd" quest, so just recently I checked with Thorim to see if he had any quests for me. But he doesn't. Which leads me to assume that I'm on Mending Fences or The Refiner's Fire. The only problem is, I don't have either of these quests and I can't seem to get the Slag Covered Metal to drop in order to give me the last quest.

Can anyone help me? Is there an NPC I have to visit? Is this even the right forum for this?

Thank you for your help :)

Okay Keeby, I've done a little research, and I think I can set you on the right track.

You've done every quest in this line leading up to The Refiner's Fire. Your question was, I believe, about the Slag Covered Metal - fortunately, that item is already in your inventory, inside one of your current inventory bags! You can accept this quest from that item, and that should set you back on the correct path.

I can see how she would miss it. It looks like Truesilver Ore.


Indeed, and several other things. It's a very easy to miss item icon.

Q u o t e:
I am one of the unlucky people who accidentally deleted the Slag Covered Metal item from my inventory quite some time ago. Since it only drops while doing the Mending Fences quest, there was no way for people like me to start the Sons of Hodir quests. Last I heard, it was a "known problem" that was not resolved. Do you know if has been fixed? Thanks.


Hrm, may I ask which creatures you are attempting to acquire this item from? Please keep in mind that it does not drop from Seething Revenants.

Q u o t e:
This post is 4 days old...


True, but I figured I'd answer the question since it was different but related.

Dear readers,

For the record, Pricilla is correct, and it is far better to post a new thread than to bump an old post with a different question.

Cheers,
