We Have the Power

Quest Giver: Raegar Breakbrow — Prospector’s Point, Grizzly Hills [77, 49]

Objective: Kill Rune-Smith Durar and Rune-Smith Kathorn inside Dun Argol to collect Durar’s Power Cell and Kathorn’s Power Cell, then return them to Raegar Breakbrow.

Quick Facts

• Level: 75
• Location: Dun Argol, Grizzly Hills
• Chain Position: 4 of 5 in the Dun Argol chain (Check Up on Raegar → The Perfect Plan → Why Fabricate When You Can Appropriate? → We Have the Power → … Or Maybe We Don’t)
• Pairs With: Cultivating an Image (kill and photograph iron dwarves in Dun Argol, same area)

Walkthrough

• Both rune-smiths work in buildings on Dun Argol’s central level (the second-lowest tier of the hill). Enter Dun Argol and proceed up the main path to the first large platform where an Iron Rune Overseer patrols. Two buildings face each other across a small plaza here, each guarded by Runic War Golems.
• Rune-Smith Durar is at the back of the right building [75, 57]. He looks identical to other Rune-Smiths in the area.
• Rune-Smith Kathorn is at the back of the left building [77, 59]. Also identical in appearance to regular Rune-Smiths.
• Neither target is any tougher than the regular iron dwarves in the area. Each building has multiple Rune-Smiths inside, so clear the room before engaging the named target to avoid accidental group pulls.
• Power cells are guaranteed 100% drops (one unique cell per rune-smith).
• Both rune-smiths respawn in approximately 2 minutes if another player beats you to them.

Efficiency Tips

• Do Alongside: This pairs perfectly with Cultivating an Image, which requires killing 8 iron dwarves in Dun Argol and photographing their corpses with Kilian’s Camera. The trash mobs you clear while reaching Durar and Kathorn count toward that quest, so grab both before heading in.
• If you still need War Golem Parts from Why Fabricate When You Can Appropriate?, check the ground inside both buildings while fighting your way to the named targets.

Easter Egg

• Duracell Reference: “Durar’s Power Cell” is a play on the Duracell battery brand. Blizzard confirmed the gag in the quest’s own completion text, where Raegar explicitly refers to the power cells as “batteries” when he takes them from you.

Lore Context

With blueprints in hand and spare parts collected, Raegar’s improvised war golem project is nearly complete. The final missing piece is power: each golem requires power cells, and the only ones available are being produced by Dun Argol’s rune-smiths.

This quest continues the chain’s running theme of the Explorers’ League jury-rigging stolen technology they don’t fully understand, building toward the chain finale where Raegar’s cobbled-together golem is put to the test.
