Objectives

Acquire 8 Smoldering Cores by killing Searing Guardians, then smash them against a Twilight Anvil.

•  [Smoldering Core] Destroyed x8

Description

These searing guardians are murderous! We destroy them, and within minutes, they reignite from the ashes.

I think there's a way to destroy them permanently, but we'll need someone who can fight through the front ranks.

<Name>, kill the searing guardians and take their smoldering cores to the nearby anvils. Smash them on the Twilight Anvils, and destroy them for good!

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards

	[Coreforged Girdle]			[Anvilcrush Bracers]
	[Drape of Smoldering Dreams]

You will also receive: 7 80

Progress

Are they dead?

It seems like nothing we do can cool this inferno...

Completion

Great work!

There was a time when adventurers would collect these cores in order to craft mediocre fire-resistant equipment. But for now, I'm glad just to destroy these fiends once and for all.

Notes

Pick up  [30-35] Forged of Shadow and Flame and  [30-35] Rage of the Wolf Ancient before heading out. Kill searing guardians and loot their Smoldering Cores. Find an anvil at ^{[29.2, 42.7]} on the right side of the path heading southeast toward the forgemaster and use the cores near the anvil to destroy them.
