For the Horde version, see Quest:Tempering The Blade (Horde).

This quest is part of the Return of Quel'Delar quest chain.

Objectives Edit

Temper the Reforged Quel'Delar in the Crucible of Souls.

•  [Tempered Quel'Delar]

Description Edit

At last, the pieces of Quel'Delar are rejoined and the blade is whole, but it cannot see battle until you have tempered it. That jagged saronite edge is brittle and will shatter the moment it strikes anything.

Deep in Icecrown Citadel's Forge of Souls is a place where the blade can safely be tempered. Take Quel'Delar with you to the abode of the Overseer of Souls and look for the crucible. Plunge the blade into the crucible to temper it and bring it back to me.

•  [Reforged Quel'Delar] (provided)

Rewards Edit

You will receive: 7 40

Progress Edit

Until the sword is tempered, it will be useless.

Completion Edit

I... I don't understand. Tempering the sword should've restored the blade to its original condition. What has happened here?

Notes Edit

The Crucible of Souls is at the very end of the instance. Simply Use the reforged quel'delar, and get the Tempered quel'delar in return.

Patch changes Edit

• Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): Added.
