Good Steel Quest in WoW Forever: Mining Tools Location
Good Steel is a level 7 Alliance quest in Elwynn Forest where Hagar Lowe at Eastvale Logging Camp asks you to collect 4 Mining Tools from Jasperlode Mine and bring them back, for 320 experience and 50 reputation with Stormwind. Those details come from Wowhead's Forever quest page, as of November 12, 2026, and the tool locations below are player reports.
Quick answer: Take the quest from Hagar Lowe at Eastvale Logging Camp (you need level 6). Go into Jasperlode Mine and loot 4 Mining Tools from small buckets inside the cave. Players report they sit in the first branch on the right. Return to Hagar Lowe to finish.

How do I start Good Steel?
Speak to Hagar Lowe at Eastvale Logging Camp in Elwynn Forest. Wowhead lists the quest as level 7 with a level 6 requirement, for the Alliance. The quest text says good steel is scarce after the war and that the Jasperlode miners used finely made picks, some probably still in the mine. Hagar says he will repurpose the steel. For the zone itself, see the Elwynn Forest guide.
Where do I find the Mining Tools?
Wowhead's objective says to collect 4 Mining Tools from Jasperlode Mine. The page gives no spot for them, so the rest is what players report in its comments:
- One player says to look for buckets with tools inside, and that they only spawn inside the cave.
- Another says the first branch on the right has 3 buckets that respawn in about a minute.
- A third gives a waypoint of 61.4 51.5 for the small buckets, and links a video.
These are comments, not confirmed data, so verify them in the mine. Warcraft Wiki has no page for this quest yet, so I could not cross-check it there.
Can I do it with friends?
Wowhead marks Good Steel as sharable, so one player can share it with others in a party who qualify. The tools come from buckets that, according to a player, respawn in about a minute, so a small group may not have to wait long for their four. That is a single comment, so treat it as a rough guide. The page lists no group size, no elite enemies and no skill requirement.
What do I get?
On completion you gain 320 experience and 50 reputation with Stormwind, per Wowhead. No item reward is listed.
The free Lore Forever add-on narrates the story of Elwynn Forest when each character first arrives there, which is a calm way to learn the area before you head into the mine; it works on its own and has no internet access.
