We’ll provide a brief walkthrough of each quest below.
The Battered Hilt
You can pick up this quest by right-clicking the Battered Hilt in your bags. It will direct you to speak with Myralion Sunblaze, who can be found just south of the Argent Tournament Grounds in Icecrown.
What The Dragons Know
This quest will send you to speak with Krasus, Consort of the Queen, atop Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight. You can stick around to watch a short conversation between the dragons, but you don’t have to. You’ll then have to head to the inn inside the Sunreaver’s Sanctuary in Dalaran and speak with Magister Hathorel.
The Silver Covenant’s Scheme
This quest sends you to the Dalaran Underbelly to find a Silver Covenant Agent at the bar in the Cantrips and Crows Tavern. Kill the agent and loot the Silver Covenant Orders, then return to Magister Hathorel in the Sunreaver’s Sanctuary.
A Suitable Disguise
For this quest, you’ll need to head to The Threads of Fate, the tailoring shop in Dalaran. Go up the stairs and you’ll find Shandy Glossgleam with his water elemental, Aquanos. He’ll put you to work doing some laundry – just click on the sparkling piles of clothes as he instructs you to add them to the wash. When you’re done, you’ll be able to click on a bag of Clean Laundry next to the tub, which will net you a Borrowed Tabard. Return to Magister Hathorel in the Sunreaver’s Sanctuary once more.
An Audience With The Arcanist
The magister will place an enchantment on you that lasts for five minutes and allows you to enter the Silver Enclave, the Alliance area in Dalaran. Go there and go up the stairs to the upper level. You’ll find Arcanist Tybalin in a room with a lot of bookshelves on the wall. Speak with him to acquire the Ancient Dragonforged Blades, then return again to Magister Hathorel in the Sunreaver’s Sanctuary.
Return To Myralion Sunblaze
Head back to Myralion Sunblaze at Quel’Delar’s Rest south of the Argent Tournament Grounds in Icecrown. You’ll witness a scene involving Blood-Queen Lana’thel, one of Arthas’s servants and a boss in Icecrown Citadel. She’ll give some background on the weapon and why it now lies shattered. The Sunreavers will now task you with reforging it.
Reforging The Sword
Reforging the sword takes you back to the Frozen Halls dungeons, starting with Pit of Saron. These quests can be done on either normal or heroic mode, so don’t worry if you were already locked to the heroic version.
You’ll need to gather 5 Infused Saronite Bars from the piles around the quarry. There are some that can be picked up near the entrance without pulling any mobs, but you will need a party for the other half of this step, which requires killing Forgemaster Garfrost to loot The Forgemaster’s Hammer. When you’ve done this, approach one of the forges nearby and right-click on his hammer in your inventory. This will net you a Reforged Quel’Delar, which you can bring back to Myralion Sunblaze, who has moved to the hallway that leads to the Frozen Halls dungeon entrances.
Tempering The Blade
Next you’ll return to The Forge of Souls, where you’ll have to clear the entire dungeon in order to access the Crucible of Souls, which is a fiery brazier right behind the last boss, Devourer of Souls. You could actually enter an instance that has already been cleared for this quest, as all you need is the object behind the boss. Approach the crucible and click on the Reforged Quel’Delar in your bags to get a Tempered Quel’Delar, which you can bring back to Myralion Sunblaze outside the instance.
The Halls Of Reflection
For this quest, you’ll enter the Halls of Reflection, but don’t start the dungeon by speaking to the NPC. Instead, approach Frostmourne in the center of the room, and Quel’Delar will fly out of your bags and attack you. Depending on your gear and class, you may be able to solo this. If you fail to defeat the sword, it will be waiting for you the next time you enter the instance. Defeat it and you’ll get a Subdued Quel’Delar, which you can return to Myralion Sunblaze near the entrance to the dungeon.
Journey To The Sunwell
This quest sends you to the Isle of Quel’Danas, where you must speak with Halduron Brightwing just outside the entrance to the Sunwell raid. The easiest way to get to the Isle of Quel’Danas is by portal: take the portal to Shattrath in your faction’s area of Dalaran, and from there you can take a portal directly to the isle.
Thalorien Dawnseeker
Now you’ll seek the blessing of Quel’Delar’s former owner, Thalorien Dawnseeker, who was killed in the Scourge invasion. His remains can be found in the Dead Scar on the southern part of the island. You’ll have to fight some mobs here, but nothing too challenging. Speak with Thalorian and you’ll get a Tempered Quel’Delar to bring back to Halduron Brightwing at the Sunwell entrance.
The Purification of Quel’Delar
This quest is slightly different based on your class and race, but plays out the same regardless. Here are the different versions of the quest for Horde:
- Blood Elf: The Purification of Quel’Delar (sword)
- Other Races: The Purification of Quel’Delar (sword)
- Blood Elf: The Purification of Quel’Delar (mace)
- Other Races: The Purification of Quel’Delar (mace)
For this quest you’ll enter the Sunwell, but not through the raid entrance. Instead, speak with a Warden of the Sunwell by the entrance to be teleported inside a solo version of the instance. Run down the rampand enter the glowing room. Click on the Tempered Quel’Delar in your bag, and you’ll receive a Restored Quel’Delar. Take this back to Quel’Delar’s Rest in Icecrown to deliver it to Myralion Sunblaze.
A Victory for the Sunreavers
Again this quest will be slightly different based on your class and race. Here are the different versions of the quest for Horde:
- Blood Elf: A Victory For The Sunreavers (sword)
- Other Races: A Victory For The Sunreavers (sword)
- Blood Elf: A Victory For The Sunreavers (mace)
- Other Races: A Victory For The Sunreavers (mace)
This final quest sends you to hand in your Restored Quel’Delar and receive your chosen weapon in return. The weapon you receive, and where you go to get it, depends on your class. There are different versions of the quests for blood elves, but they don’t affect your reward.
Druids, priests, and shamans can’t use swords, so they will be sent to Justicar Mariel Trueheart in the Argent Tournament Grounds to receive a mace.
All other classes will be sent to Vereesa Windrunner in the Violet Citadel in Dalaran to receive a sword.
