The troggs needed for this quest is found around 50.67.

Comment by neelzfinch

You can also obtain these items from the Troggs at the Uldaman backdoor (63,42). These are elites though, be warned. I find the droprates generally low, so it might take a while to complete this quest outside Uldaman.

Comment by Totemizer

Yeah the drop rate is low ... Both Coord are correct and it would be easier to do at the 50.67 since they are non elites..

But you could get more exp out of the ones outside uldamin.

You also use more time each mob so it goes the same which ones you kill... Just to ensure you dont get killed (which is abit high chance at doing if you pull to much elites.)

Do the non-elites, or do the elites if you want to have a challenge. But then you should keep in mind you might die sometimes

To do this quest u have to go just below of the Valley of Fangs in a place called Agmond's End (50,65).
Kill the Stonevault and u will get the Indurium Flakes.
THE DROP RATE SUX.(sometimes)

The mobs (non elites) are 39-40. Do not even bother doing this quest if you are below 38. Mobs take a while to kill, and the drop rate is horrifically low. Personally I wouldn't even do this quest if you don't need the rewards (linked above), but for those of you that want to do it, wait until 38.

A lot of comments here about a crappy drop-rate. Perhaps this has been fixed in patch 2.3?

I had a drop rate of 10 / 25 = 40%

Sure it's not an 80-100% drop rate, but it's still pretty good.

The stonevaults run at low health, like most humanoids, but they don't run very fast.

I got my first flake off my first kill in the cave around 65,44 (Dustwind Gulch); however my next 20+ were dry around Agmond's End (area pointed out above.)
In the end, the 20% drop rate was still accurate for me after 2.3 ...

Comment by VanCleef

You can do this quest at Agmond's End in Badlands, at around 50, 68, or alternatively at the back entrance to Uldaman at about 65, 43 (those mobs used to be elite before patch 2.3). The indurium flakes drop from the Troggs in these areas.

If you're Alliance you should combine this quest with Murdaloc, since you'll have to kill the same mobs for that quest.

Comment by arten

Counts towards Loremaster of Kalimdor, presumably as the chain originates in Thousand Needles.

Horribly small sample rate but my figures from just now at Agmond's End (49,67)

Stonevault Shaman - 50% 4/8
Stonevault Bonesnapper - 38% 6/16

The Bonesnappers are L39 (1678hp) / L40 (1753hp). Shaman L40 (1471hp) / L41(1522hp).

The Shaman cast a heal totem at low HP and both mobs will run in fear at low HP so be careful as they are closely packed in.

The Bonesnappers swing for 26-33 dmg against my voidwalker, 50 dmg crits. Shaman 25-31 melee dmg.

There is also a L42 mob called Murdaloc who spawns there for an Alliance quest of the same name Murdaloc quest who does not drop the flakes and hits a little harder (73 crit).

Comment by Jilliene

The troggs in Uldaman don't drop the quest item.

Comment by 66148

The drop rate is just low enough (or I was unlucky enough) that I had to go through all the troggs available and wait for respawn. Then it still took about half the troggs there to get through it. If you can, combine it with another nearby quest for when you run out of troggs.

Indurium

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.

Bring 10 Indurium Flakes to Martek the Exiled in the Badlands.

	Indurium Flake (10)

Description

I'm not out here just to stay away from people. There is a wealth of metal in the Badlands, <name>, if you have the guts to get it.

The metal's called indurium and as luck would have it, it is rumored to possess high resistance to heat and stress. It might work for Fizzle's car.

But let's make sure. Get me samples of indurium and I'll test its properties.

True indurium ore lies deep in Uldaman, but the Stonevault troggs of the Badlands sometimes have flakes of it on them. Bring me those flakes.
