One of the more complicated keys to get, but extremely useful to have. Well worth the effort involved in my opinion. It allows you to open a few key doors and unlock the Shadowforge Lock in BRD, which gives you access to the bar and allows shortcuts throughout.
The starting quest is easy to miss. You have to be dead in order to get it because you get it from a ghost. His name is Franclorn Forgewright. He is located in the floating island in the middle of Blackrock Mountain (near where the summoning stone is). If you enter the inner area of the island, there is a tomb in the middle of a room on the way down. Forgewright is standing on the tomb, and will give you the quest Dark Iron Legacy.
1) The quest asks you to kill Fineous Darkvire, one of the mini-bosses in BRD. Ironically he is far easier to access if you’re partied with someone who already has the key, but so long as you know where you’re going, you’ll be fine. Kill him and collect the quest item Ironfel.
2) Once you have the quest item, you have to go BACK to near the beginning of the instance. Go into the Ring of Law, and kill the mini-boss there. Then go up and out.
3) Instead of continuing on through the instance, keep going up into the spectator section of the Ring. Because you killed the boss, the spectators should be neutral and you can just run through them all.
4) Run to the far side of the Ring, and you will enter a hallway filled with several groups of 5 elites at a time. Go to the right, and mow all of them down.
5) At the end of the hallway is a statue of Franclorn Forgewright. If you use Ironfel on the statue, a small compartment will open near the base. Inside is the Shadowforge Key.
