Quest text (Classic reference)
Begin collecting the disarming materials immediately, adventurer. Lurker Venom can be found on the indigenous spiders in Loch Modan. Crocolisk tears are found here in the Loch as well. But a Mo'Grosh crystal will be very difficult to procure. The ogres to the northeast mine them but the crystals are a very rare commodity.
We need to be prepared to defuse a Dark Iron attack! Return to me once you've collected the needed items and I will prepare the mixture.
