While many types of dinosaurs exist, most are carnivores and thust share the same basic traits. Their forelimbs tend to prove ill-suited for combat, so they attack with their horned heads and teeth. They stake out territories and guard them fiercely. (This territorial instinct exists in herbivourus dinosaurs as well, but they tend to more peaceful behavior, attacking only when a creature wounds or threatens them.)
The quester learns 7 blacksmithing plans in the course of this chain, and gains
 
two trinkets. The quester is '''not''' obligated to specialize in
 
[[armorsmithing]] to start or complete this series of quests.

Dinosaurs have rough reptilian skin, thick and pebbly in texture. Their coloration varies, but many dinosaurs tend to blend in well with their natural surroundings. As cold-blooded creatures, they avoid areas of extreme temperatures, such as the Arctic regions. Most dinosaurs nest in the [[Un'Goro Crater]] and the [[Sholazar Basin]], which possess a pleasing climate as well as abundant territory and prey. One exception is the [[threshadon]], which lives in several places throughout Azeroth. Some dinosaurs make excellent riding mounts.<ref>{{ref book |author=Blizzard Entertainment |authorlink=Blizzard Entertainment |title=[[Monster Guide]] |isbn=9781588469366 |pages=25}}</ref>

; {{questlong|Alliance|40|In Search of Galvan}} / {{questlong|Horde|40|Booty Bay or Bust!}}
 
[[Hank the Hammer]] (or for the Horde, [[Ox]]) recognizes your achievement, and
 
asks you to take a {{item|Mithril Insignia}} to [[McGavan]] in [[Booty Bay]],
 
at the southern end of [[Stranglethorn Vale]].
 
 
This is, of course a test. Those not worthy of joining the Mithril Order will
 
accept the insignia and not turn it over. But those who ''are'' worthy...
 
 
; {{questlong|Neutral|40|The Mithril Order}}
 
McGavan is happy to find another worthy of induction into the Order. And he
 
knows where the smith {{NPC|Neutral|Galvan the Ancient}} is! He directs you to take a
 
[[Mithril Pendant|token]] to Galvan, to show that McGavan sent you.
 
 
Galvan, you are told, is deep in the wilds of
 
[[Stranglethorn Vale]]{{coords|50.6|20.5|Stranglethorn Vale}},
 
between [[Zul Gurub]] and the [[Mosh'Ogg Ogre Mound]].
 
 
Indeed, you find him there. And more, seeing the pendant, he wants to start
 
your induction into the [[Mithril Order]] immediately!
 
 
Galvan the Ancient gives three quests (these may be completed in any order):
 
; {{questlong|Neutral|45|Smelt On, Smelt Off}}
 
: Materials Required:
 
:* 40 {{item|Iron Bar}}

Complete any one of the above three quests, and Galvan will direct you to
 
his finest pupil, {{NPC|Neutral|Trenton Lighthammer|The Mithril Order}},
 
in [[Gadgetzan]].
 
 
;{{questlong|Neutral|45|Expert Blacksmith!}}
 
Complete all three of the above quests, and Galvan declares you to be The

=== Part 2: Trenton Lighthammer ===
 
 
Trenton gives you three quests. Like Galvan's quests, these can be completed
 
in any order. Trenton teaches you the plans directly; there is no separate
 
item "Plans: Ornate Mithril Boots" (or breastplate or helm).
 
 
; {{questlong|Neutral|45|The World At Your Feet}}
 
:
 
:* 2 {{item|Heavy Mithril Boots}}

:* 1 {{item|Ornate Mithril Shoulder}} (from {{quest|The Art of the Imbue}})

Each of Trenton's quests use knowledge you got from Galvan the Ancient and rewards you with something you will need for the final quest.
 
 
 
; {{questlong|Neutral|45|Did You Lose This?}}
 
If you complete all three of these quests, Trenton rewards your dedication
 
by offering you another trinket:

These ancient lizards inspire awe and respect wherever they go. While animals, dinosaurs possess a might and magnificence that places them above other creatures of the natural world; many sapient races revere dinosaurs, or consider it a test of personal honor to hunt one of the great beasts.

While many types of dinosaurs exist, most are carnivores and thust share the same basic traits. Their forelimbs tend to prove ill-suited for combat, so they attack with their horned heads and teeth. They stake out territories and guard them fiercely. (This territorial instinct exists in herbivourus dinosaurs as well, but they tend to more peaceful behavior, attacking only when a creature wounds or threatens them.)

Dinosaurs have rough reptilian skin, thick and pebbly in texture. Their coloration varies, but many dinosaurs tend to blend in well with their natural surroundings. As cold-blooded creatures, they avoid areas of extreme temperatures, such as the Arctic regions. Most dinosaurs nest in the Un'Goro Crater and the Sholazar Basin, which possess a pleasing climate as well as abundant territory and prey. One exception is the threshadon, which lives in several places throughout Azeroth. Some dinosaurs make excellent riding mounts.[1]
