Horde Searing Gorge Guide
Level 52

At Orgrimmar, train your skills.
Make sure you have 15 Silk Cloth in your inventory.

Fly to Ratchet. Take the boat to Booty Bay.

At Booty Bay, turn in Whiskey Slim's Lost Grog and Deliver to MacKinley as well as all the Rescue OOX quests completed, including An OOX of Your Own if you completed all three.

  1. Fly to Kargath, Badlands.

  2. Ride to southwest into the Searing Gorge.

  1. Head south along the road, then west to Kalaran Windblade and get Divine Retribution. Then, talk to him and finish the entire dialogue nd turn it in and get the follow-up The Flawless Flame.

  2. Head northwest to Thorium Point and get the flight path.
    Pick up the quests:

    • JOB OPPORTUNITY: Culling the Competition
    • STOLEN: Smithing Tuyere and Lookout's Spyglass
    • Incendosaurs? Whateverosaur is More Like it
    • Curse These Fat Fingers
    • Fiery Menace!
    • WANTED: Overseer Maltorius
    • What the Flux?

  3. Head southeast to the forge and kill all the Dark Iron Steamsmith around. There are only six on the entire map at any time, and they all spawn here. They also drop the rare Smithing Tuyere which you need. Therefore, whenever you're near this area, run here and kill the steamsmiths again and again until you get the Tuyere. When you get the Tuyere, you can drop this point in the loop.

    The next couple steps are all making laps to get the two rare items, the Smithing Tuyere and the Lookout's Spyglass, so make sure to kill all the scarce mobs each time.

  4. The first step of the circular lap is heading southwest. Kill the Heavy War Golems along the way. Go straight towards the lookouts.

  5. Reach the Dark Iron Lookouts at the first tower and kill all of them. They rarely drop the Lookout's Spyglass. Similar to the Tuyere, this spot will be visited several times along this lap. When you get the Spyglass, you can drop this point in the loop.

  6. Head northwest, then circle around east and clear Greater Lava Spiders. As well, kill the Magma Elementals around if they're up. As you're turning south, kill Heavy War Golems.

    Repeat steps 4- 6 until you've killed 20 Heavy War Golems and 20 Greater Lava Spiders. Hopefully, you'll have gotten the Smithing Tuyere and Lookout's Spyglass by now, but as they are rare drops, you may not - don't worry, we'll visit the areas again later.

  1. Head southeast of the steamsmith area (Opportunity to kill steamsmiths if you still don't have the Tuyere!) and get on the elevator. The elevator goes to the top floor (where you enter), a upper-mid floor, a lower-mid floor, and the bottom floor. Get off at the bottom.

  2. Inside The Cauldron, focus on killing Blaze, Magma, and Inferno Elementals on the cauldron floor until reaching 4 Heart of Flame.

  3. Head out of the Cauldron by heading up and around northeast.
    Return to Kalaran Windblade and turn in The Flawless Flame and get the follow-up Forging the Shaft.


  1. Head back to the elevator. (Opportunity to kill the Steamsmiths if you don't have the Tuyere yet!) Once again, get off on the bottom floor.

  2. Take the first entrance to the east to go into The Slag Pit.

    Head straight down the one-way path and kill the Dark Iron Taskmasters and Dark Iron Slavers along the way to collect 8 Thorium Plated Daggers. (Note: its likely that you'll get an Outhouse Key which starts The Key to Freedom while killing dwarves.) When you hit a Quarry Gate, open it and go through and continue down the path. Continue and you will see Obsidian and Enslaved Archaelogists. Ignore them and continue up the ramp. On the ramp, take the straight, upward path.

    You'll arrive at the Dark Iron barracks. Finish killing 15 Dark Iron Taskmasters and Dark Iron Slavers. Look around for Overseer Maltorius who is in a side room guarded by one dark iron lookout. Kill him first since he's a squishy caster and loot his head. Pick up the Secret Plans: Fiery Flux behind him.

  3. Continue onward and exit the cave.

  4. Re-enter the cave here by just following the path west. Inside, kill 20 Incendosaurs. Then, exit the cave.


  1. Head northeast and then west to Kalaran Windblade and turn in Forging the Shaft and get the follow-up The Flame's Casing.

  2. Head northwest and kill the Twilight Cultists until you get the Symbol of Ragnaros, a rare drop.

  3. Return to Kalaran Windblade and turn in The Flame's Casing and get the follow-ups and complete all of them to get the follow-up Set Them Ablaze!


  1. (Opportunity to kill the Steamsmiths if you don't have the Tuyere yet!)

    Head southwest to the first watch tower. Kill all the Dark Iron Lookouts to get the rare-drop Lookout's Spyglass if you haven't already. Climb the tower and click the Sentry Brazier to set it ablaze.

  2. Head southeast to the next tower. Kill lookouts if you need the spyglass, and set the Sentry Brazier ablaze.

  3. Head east to the next tower. Kill lookouts if you need the spyglass, and set the Sentry Brazier ablaze.

  4. Head northeast to the next tower. Kill lookouts if you need the spyglass, and set the Sentry Brazier ablaze.

  5. Head east to the Wooden Outhouse and turn in The Key to Freedom at the outhouse. Get the quests Caught!

  6. Head north and kill all the 8 Dark Iron Geologists, then return to the outhouse and turn in Caught! and don't get the follow-up.

  7. Return to Kalaran Windblade and turn in Set Them Ablaze! Click the chest and get the quest Trinkets... and complete it by clicking the chest again. Make sure to keep the Molt.

    (And finally, here's the final opportunity to kill the Steamsmiths if you don't have the Tuyere yet!)

  8. Return to Thorium Point and turn in:

    • JOB OPPORTUNITY: Culling the Competition
    • STOLEN: Smithing Tuyere and Lookout's Spyglass
    • Incendosaurs? Whateverosaur is More Like it
    • Curse These Fat Fingers
    • Fiery Menace!
    • WANTED: Overseer Maltorius
    • What the Flux?
