Walkthrough

• Head west from Prospector’s Point into Dun Argol. Follow the road uphill.
• Kill Iron Rune-Smiths to collect the three blueprint sections. The Rune-Smiths are found both outside and inside the buildings of Dun Argol, concentrated around [76, 55]. They’re often found in higher density inside the buildings, mixed in with Iron Rune Overseers and guarding golems.
• Drop Mechanics: All three sections can drop from any Iron Rune-Smith. You don’t need to find specific smiths for specific sections. Drop rate is decent (roughly 33% per kill), and it’s possible to get multiple sections from a single kill. You can also get all three from one drop.
• Combining the Blueprint: Once you have all three sections in your bags, right-click one of them to combine them into the completed War Golem Blueprint. The individual sections do NOT register as quest objectives in most quest trackers, which is the most common source of confusion on this quest.
• Return to Raegar at Prospector’s Point [77, 49].

Efficiency Tips

• Do Alongside: Pick up The Captive Prospectors from Mountaineer Kilian at Prospector’s Point before heading in. That quest requires freeing captured prospectors inside Dun Argol, and you’ll be killing the same types of enemies. The cage keys drop from any iron dwarves or their constructs in the area.
• Check Your Bags: This cannot be emphasized enough. The blueprint sections don’t flag as quest objectives until combined. If your quest tracker still shows the quest as incomplete after killing several Rune-Smiths, open your bags and look for the sections.
• Inside the Buildings: Rune-Smiths are found more densely inside Dun Argol’s buildings. Don’t waste time picking off lone dwarves outside when larger groups are available inside.
• Group Note: Blueprint section drops are NOT shared between group members. Each player must loot their own.

Lore Context

Raegar’s plan is bold: steal the iron dwarves’ own war golem blueprints and build a golem to use against them.

The iron dwarves at Dun Argol are churning out war golems, giants, and lightning elementals for an offensive against the Westfall Brigade. By appropriating their technology, Raegar hopes to sabotage their war effort from within. This sets up the chain’s progression into building your own golem and eventually infiltrating the iron dwarf ranks.
