Kommentar von Zaynah

I found the instructions for this could have been a bit clearer:

After "Add 5 fuel to the forge" and "Open a vent", you get to the "Hold the heat steady" stage.

There is a bar above the forge that shows you the current heat level: black on the left = too cold, blue in the centre = just right, black on the right = too hot.
The aim is to keep the heat in the blue zone by adding fuel or opening one or two vents when the heat surges up. When the heat starts to get steady, an additional percentage counter appears on the screen that will go up as long as the heat is in the blue zone until it reaches 100%.

~~Note that the heat bar is anchored just above the forge, so depending on your viewing angle, you may not be able to see it, which would make the quest basically impossible to complete!~~ (This seems to have changed since Beta)

Kommentar von Boxofbeer

To complete this quest you need to assist Forgelite Sophone in crafting a piece of armor.
First, speak with Sika and add fuel to the forge five times (a place where you dropped the crate during the previous quest onto)
After that just open either right of left Animaschmiedeabzug and keep throwing fuel to the forge. Make sure the heat mark kept within the blue section.
Finally, interact to the armor piece when its on the anvil and stand still while the castbar is being in progress

Kommentar von Remorseless

Ok easy guide.

Throw 3 "fuel"
Open vent
Repeat.

You should keep heat between medium and high no problem.

If the meter doesn't move abandon quest and take again.

Kommentar von kehet

It seems currently any nameplate addon will mess up this indicator bar. So if you can only see one color, try to disable all addons.

Kommentar von tomchee

my stupid ass thought that the blue bar in the middle is the "too cold" state, so i was doing my best to keep the heat above it... *facepalm*

If you don't see the blue bar and only see a red bar, abandon the quest and pick it up again.

Kommentar von miyukitty

Currently unable to complete this quest due to the "no blue bar" bug.

I have disabled all add-ons, and abandoned and retaken the quest upwards of 20 times on three different computers, two with fresh WoW installs, and I still only see the brown/red bar. The blue bar shows up for a moment, or if I move away from the forge towards the door, but there is currently no way for me to complete this quest and progress with the story,

Kommentar von royalecheese

It can get crowded in the room, so just know you must add "fuel" to the forge when the bar goes too far to the left, and clear the vents if the bar goes too far to the right. The fuel is located to the left of the forge opening. Even though the fuel was sparkling,I could not see the fuel pile because people were standing on it. You will get a hand icon if you move your cursor to the left and you can then pick up the fuel.

Kommentar von Lintian

Somehow the kyrian manage to make cloth and leather armor in a forge. Their craftsmanship truly knows no bounds!

Kommentar von alpanhell

More RNG (you know you can't get enough). So once you get this going, it's all RNG as to whether the forge gets too hot (need to open vents) or too cold (need to add fuel).

The only time the percentage increases is when the bar is flashing blue, if it's too cold or too hot the percentage doesn't increase. So keep it as on blue as you can, but you're limited due to the RNG. One time I had it get hot 3 times, so all that time (until you get it down to flashing again) the percentage doesn't increase. So it took quite awhile to finish..

Kommentar von Alensia

Yet another quest you feel that now you're making something truly astounding, get your reward, check it, walk to the vendor nearby and say "Hey, want this hunk-a-junk? Toss me a coin and take it away".

Kommentar von Techhead7890

I really hope this becomes a WQ at some point, because Sika is adorable and the Forgelite is pretty awesome too!

Kommentar von Wyr3d

I found this quest be a bit broken. After the creepy mutant owl-thing instructs you to throw in some fuel, and open a vent the rest would seem to be intuitive, however it continues to rant about "the forge is cold" and you see a debuff to refeclt this - regardless of where the indicator is on the slider. I kept the damned thing in the right zone for ages but still got this incessant whining and debuff. I cranked up to max, and somehow, despire the dangerous heat levels it mist be at, I again got the debuff. In the end I just ignored it, let the slider drop to empty and threw in more fuel. This apparently completed the quest. Great design Bliz ==

Kommentar von Daedaluz2005

if the bar turns completely red drop the quest and start over.

The object is to keep the gauge in the center of the blue bar

Kommentar von Lafeoverde

While you are holding the armor Forgelite Sophone totally looks like she's playing with an invisible smartphone!

Kommentar von sitecow09

I don't know if it was just me, but I think this quest was changed. The "events" that made the bar go higher and lower didn't happen, so it was very easy to just keep the bar in the center as the quest completed. It might have been random, or maybe they realized how annoying the quest was and nerfed it?

Kommentar von DaemoniKira

Ha, at the start of the armor-holding part (the last step), Schmiedin Sophone will say:

Come, I have need of your hands.
Hold the armor steady, now.
This is the most delicate part of the process. Precision is key.

So I jumped in the middle of the "cast".
...to which Schmiedin Sophone said:

I cannot work like this.

That just made me laugh.
I imagined some super famous musician being told they will have to "endure" not having the comforts of everything that they listed on their rider, and the musician yelling

WHAT? I cannot work like this.

...and storming off.

Amusingly, you can still use Dunkelmond-Pfeife while you're holding the armor for her --
she will be startled, but she will continue without issue.
