The mobs that drop these are elite, and they hurt. Bring friends, a tank spec, or a warframe.

Completing both this and The Power to Reforge leads to Forging a Key to the Past.

Glowing Key Fragment dropped for me by trash in The Seat of the Triumvirate.

The Power to Reforge (250 rep)
Recovering the Pieces Elite mobs (250 rep)

Rewards one of these ensembles, depending on your class:

You need to find 10 of Armory Key Fragment they are droping from elite mobs on norhtwest in Mac'Aree. Rate drop is like 50% but this elite mobs are pretty hard to kill i almos die 3 times xD.

To start this quest you need to find Glowing Key Fragment this is droping from mobs in The Seat of the Triumvirate or from mobs on north in Mac'Aree.

I can confirm you can easily get the 10 required items from inside the The Seat of the Triumvirate dungeon.

However a following quest after this will need you to go into the same dungeon to complete the quest chain. Meaning you will have to wait for the next day to compete it.

You can't enter the dungeon lockout you completed to do it (it's fairly difficult to solo) because as per most dungeon quests you also have to kill the final boss.

The mobs for this quest (if done in mac'aree) are ridiculously strong, precisely, they don't have much hp, but they deal tons of damage. The problem isn't the damage, though, it's that they drop a ticking AoE on the floor that stuns you. Watch out here, if you've got an active bodyguard, you're better off with a 3 min cd one, as their AI is bad and they might get the stun dot on them. However, you can easily take on a group of 3 if you've got a strong cc (like sleep effect, repentance, etc.). I even took 2 groups, although I've got healing bracers (ms warrior), should still be good with a defensive cd, just remember to avoid getting stunned at all costs. The 1 man patrol mobs hit really hard, though, don't take them together with groups, it will be a nasty pain train if you get stunned. Pull the patrols separately and then storm through the 3-man groups and you should be fine, in case you're undergeared, grab some cc talents. Interrupt the caster spells as much as you can as well.

I highly recommend using Lightforged Warframe, soloed a few on my rogue, but mowed them down with the Warframe. :)

Comment by Kukkaspoika

This quest is pretty BS. Blizz you give us what looks like a standard quest to kill ELITES that can basically 4 shot you even in 920+ gear? Why the hell do these mobs even exist anyway? There is no world boss up here and no rare elite, just packs of these guys standing around. There is literally no reason to have these mobs up here at all. In addition to that, you put them in groups of at least 2 or 3, and even up to groups of 5 if you include the groups with void tentacles. What the heck?

Oh and let's not forget that these guys can stun you. Fanfreakingtastic! It's like Suramar South City all over again but worse!

Comment by bwanadik

The fragments do not appear to drop as a raid. Killed a half dozen or more as raid, no fragments. Converted to group and they started dropping. I saw a drop rate of one fragment every 2 or 3 mobs. If someone does see drops with a raid please correct me here and I will update.

Comment by GazaC76

These mobs hurt. why Blizz would do this to us, just for starter quest is just pure BS.

However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel a Lightforged Warframe that is.

Simply just mount your Warframe pull all and the jump on them and use fire = nuked all at 1 go and no time wasted getting smashed.

Failing that, you can just do Seat of the Triumvirate and get the Glowing Key Fragment from trash.

Just wanted to add if you are a druid and get Thornstalk Barbs from your class hall, they work wonders for taking out elites for this quest.

Comment by Aqurum

My girl and I are rep grinding and it says she's not eligible and we have no clue why and it's really irritating because I can't find anything about what you need to do to be eligible for these and the quest chain gives out a ton of rep.

Comment by Nulgar

We see you liked farming the Ethereals for Glowing Key Fragment, so here are more Ethereals for you to kill :)

Links

Recovering the Pieces

Secure the missing key fragments from the ethereals around the Seat of the Triumvirate.

	Armory Key Fragment (10)

Description

The fragment you found is only one part of the key. I fear the other pieces have fallen into the hands of these ethereal beings you speak of... the Shadowguard. We must recover them all. The Shadowguard leaders and lieutenants in and around the Seat of the Triumvirate may well have the fragments in their possession. Get those key fragments, <name>... any way you have to.
