This CAN be enchanted through the trade window. Rogues and Druids can stealth run the BRD coffer for the Burning Essence, and give it to anyone once they turn in the quest for the arcanum.

stealth running the instance isnt all that simple though, the dogs can see through stealth from a decent distance and taking some of the groups of mobs can be challenging even for a well geared player. having imp sap is definitely a plus

Comment by zaber

If you are level 70 you can do this solo even without stealth. Helps to be a mage to blink past a few "tight spots".

Enter BRD, go through the locked door on your left, continue straight to the "highway", take a right and follow the hall to Incendius, melt his face, loot corpse, dance happy jig, disenchant BOP drop (if you can), continue straight and go up the ramp, avoid mobs by walking on the railing most fo the way. At the top fo the ramp go through the doorway and go to the left, take the next left into the Cofffer Room. Blink past the boss and the dog so you are standing against the Dark Coffer. Attack and kill the dog and ignore the boss until the dog is dead. At level 70 you should resist all or most of the bosses spells. Kill the boss, loot and dance again, DE, walk to the edge of the room (stand about where the boss was standing), adjust your camera angle so you can click the picture on the wall and read the caption n the picture to find where the NPC is that you need to kill to get the Dark Coffer Key. Backtrack to wherever that mobs is and kill him to get the key, then return to the Coffer Room, open the Dark Coffer, loot contents, hearth out to Orgrimmar or Ironforge... spam the trade channel til you sell the "enchant" or get ignored by everyone on your server.

If you happen to get ignored by everyone on the server, pay Blizzard to do a server transfer to another. Repeat as needed.

:-P

Can you use this infinite times or is it only once?

Comment by Vesper

with thanks to Zaber's comments I just did this a couple of times to help out the tanks for the illidan encounter. I would like to add the following:
- you can have multiple Burning Essence in your bag so you can reset the instance over and over (well untill 5x max per hour) until you have all the needed Burning Essence.
- you can have multiple Lesser Arcanum of Resilience in your bags aswell (they don't stack though)

I just sent all my Libram's through the mail and went flying back and forth to Redridge to pick them up.

This information below from another site (source) helped me out aswell.
The list of Dark Key holders and where they can be found are:
Dark Keeper Offgut West Garrison - room with Angerforge
Dark Keeper Bethek Patrols near Coffer room
Dark Keeper Vorfalk Grim Guzzler Tavern
Dark Keeper Zimrel Arena; upper seating area
Dark Keeper Uggel Top of ramp in Golem Room w/Fineous
Dark Keeper Pelver Domicile room (storeroom in center)

All but 2 are fairly easy to do.
Bethek spawns almost instantly outside the Coffer room, so be prepared.
Vorfalk is surrounded by patrons in the Grim Guzzler. To get to him, you have to pull the patrons around him, 1 by 1, with the Dark Iron Ale.
Just make sure you kill the patron before they drink it, as it's limited in supply.
After all that, the Burning Essence is still a 50% drop, so you may need a few attempts before you get it.

What do I do exactly with the Libram of Resilience? Someone told me that they thought it permanently adds mana to your shoulders, or head, or something of that nature. Is this true? The book doesn't really say anything, and it has about 5 pictures in it that I have no idea what they mean.

Can someone clear up what I do with this thing... Please?

Thanks in advance.

It will fit nicely on my Bloodfang Hood :>

Comment by Allakhazam

He won't speak to me :S what am I doing wrong?
Got all required items in my bag

Comment by Allakhazam

Yay 320 Unbuffed FR FTW!

Gotta be the most a druids had. : )

Comment by Allakhazam

sells for around 200g on Mal'ganis server.

was lucky enough to get one to drop off a winterfall furbolg.

Comment by Allakhazam

When it says it does not stack with other enchantments to the same slot, what does that mean, for example, if you already have a head item that natively has Fire Resist, does this Add to that resistance, or do you get the higher of the two?

I never really understand that stacking, no-stacking thing when it comes to stats?

Comment by Allakhazam

Really nice on emberweave leggings ^^

Worth the 100ish gold it costs.

Comment by Allakhazam

Good for Hunters to throw on a GS helm if you got a DS to switch to for DPS

Comment by Allakhazam

Of course there is the ridiculous 30g you gotta pay in addition to the mats to get the crystal ... greedy nightelves, what next?

Comment by Allakhazam

Turned in 2 of these last night.

Solo coffer run into BRD. Took 3 attempts/resets to get the right dark keeper (I got the one just around the corner in the Hall of Crafting). Sapped one guard, killed the named, vanished. re-sapped, grabbed the key and vanished again! W00t. 2 burning essences and an enchanting recipe out of the dark coffer. Got my +40 FR! yay

Comment by Allakhazam

Be aware, that this item is unique and don't do as i did:
i paid 35g for one of these in an auction, was happy to have it and put it in the bank...
...later on i was grinding them ghosts in winterspring and found the same kind of libram in a mob...

now i was standing there hearing "you can only carry one of there items"...

i was about to leave it there and keep doing what i was doing when i had the idea to quickly bind in everlook, than have a warlock port me to og where i got the book out of the bank (stupid me, forgot theres a bank in everlook, just now realized it), sent the book to someone else, portet back to everlook, rode my wolf to the corpse and lucky enough it was still there, i picked it up...

now i just need to put the 40% fire resi on my giantstalker stuff and i'm done ;)

so, keep in mind to always carry the book around with you, to quickliy be able to give it away to pick up another one =)

Comment by Allakhazam

I use mine on my Emberweave Leggings.

35 FR as standard with 20 more.
Plus some nice Stats.
17 Agility
22 Stamina
12 Intellect (Ok this is useless on Vael but Rag?)

This allows me to play with other items, retain my standard Fire Res and swap in some DPS gear.

This is also very nice to put onto a Crown of Destruction, if you have the GS set, as part of your FR "Kit", or alternatively on your GS Helmet if you have moved up to the Dragonstalker gear.

A tad pricey I personally think though, if it was an enchant people could learn it would cost so much less! But anything Blizzard put into the game costs a freaking fortune, they should up money drops to keep up.

The most notourious ingrediant I think is the burning essence. I have been on many BRD Vault runs for the essence and have seen people come up flat. Alot of luck hinges on this item, which is a pity.

Good luck to anyone after it.

Comment by Allakhazam

this baby is rather nifty for all them MC and onyx raids.. lovely!

Comment by Allakhazam

Finally cashed this bad boy in! I'm pretty happy about it, took alot of work to get the merc group together to hit the coffer.

Comment by Allakhazam

Got mine, and stuck it on my Dark iron helm today, very happy, 55 fire res on one item :)

Comment by Allakhazam

I got 2 burning essences from dark coffer. Is this common? and is there a way to split them so two people can get one?

Comment by Allakhazam

Repeatable Quest? Yes or No?

Comment by Allakhazam

Okay, so the Libram is unique, meaning you can only have one at a time (I checked and it's true). The "Lesser Arcanum of Resilience" though is not listed as unique. Does that mean I can have two of em on my char and wait to use em, when I have appropriate endgamegear to use em on? Anyone checked?

Comment by Allakhazam

this pwns for DI helm :D

Comment by Allakhazam

will applying the arcanum through a trade window render the armor piece soulbound?
can i meet up with the guild blacksmith to enchant say dark iron legs before he gives the legs to the next person, or will the blacksmith be stuck with them?

Comment by Allakhazam

Don't forget this costs 30G as for all the libram enchants you turn in.

Comment by Allakhazam

Yes, very very very useful in combination with a Dark Iron Helm for example :)

Love this in MC.

Comment by Allakhazam

it seems that in BWL fire resist is even more important than when fighting Rag -_-.....sooo everyone needs 2 of these on helm and pants that have base fire resist....it's insane

Comment by Allakhazam

Hmm, someone put one of these on AH for 10/15G. One other was at AH for 175G no buyout. Deal of the week! Black diamond I already had so now it's back to un'goro I guess....

Comment by Allakhazam

i paid 80g for 2 of the books (35 and 45) and then 60 for the quests - 140 - then maybe 20 for black diamonds (i might be able to nab these of guildies though)

damn expensive stuff :)

Comment by Allakhazam

I have no idea what to do with this book. I was hoping someone in here might actually explain the quest but I didn't really find any useful information.

A lot of abbreviations that I don't understand....

I read the book and it doesnt explain anything.

Can anyone explain what I do with this book? Thanks in advance =)

Comment by Allakhazam

and on my netherwind crown ! :)

Comment by Allakhazam

Did this quest with 2 warlocks (1 was me) and a priest.

Mind Control + 2x seduce 4tw

Comment by Allakhazam

This book is uber. just used it on my Molten helm so now it has 49+ fire res. Pretty neat.

Comment by Allakhazam

150g ++ @ bloodscalp

Comment by Allakhazam

Guys, but... "Does not stack with other enchantments etc." what does it mean?
Exemplum:
if i have an armor kit on my cenarion helm, and i put the arcanum on it, what's happen to the armor kit? And with the ZG enchant (Animist' Caress)? Can I have both on the same helm?

Comment by Allakhazam

Lmao, what a waste on Tier 2 items, better use it on Tier 1, as that give you a whopping 30 FR on your headpiece !

Comment by Allakhazam

Sweet...

Just a libram og resilience...

Gonna put it on my Dark Iron Helm..

Meaning 55 fireress on helmet only...

Comment by Allakhazam

I've got everything but the Crystals. My question is, when I go to the guy, he doesn't give me a quest. Do I only get anything from him aside from his rant when I have all parts of the enchant?

Comment by Allakhazam

Just farmed Blood of the tormented or whatever its called for a friend, this dropped 3 times before we got the blood :> I used these before for the FR enchant on my Molten helm, will have to do FR on legs soon too, and I now got 6 of these in my bank, got every one of them until the blood dropped :D no more BRD crap for me!

Comment by Allakhazam

To get the main (and hardest to get) ingredient, the Burning Essence, you first need to examine the Portrait on the wall outside the Coffer Room. By doing so, you then get the name of the Dark Key Holder. (1 of 6 possibles). Once you do so, and have the name, you have to kill him, and then reurn with the key to open the Dark Coffer. The list of Dark Key holders and where they can be found are:
Dark Keeper Offgut West Garrison - room with Angerforge
Dark Keeper Bethek Patrols near Coffer room
Dark Keeper Vorfalk Grim Guzzler Tavern
Dark Keeper Zimrel Arena; upper seating area
Dark Keeper Uggel Top of ramp in Golem Room w/Fineous
Dark Keeper Pelver Domicile room (storeroom in center)

All but 2 are fairly easy to do.
Bethek spawns almost instantly outside the Coffer room, so be prepared.
Vorfalk is surrounded by patrons in the Grim Guzzler. To get to him, you have to pull the patrons around him, 1 by 1, with the Dark Iron Ale.
Just make sure you kill the patron before they drink it, as it's limited in supply.
After all that, the Burning Essence is still a 50% drop, so you may need a few attempts before you get it. I still feel the drop is Quest related, so make sure you have the Libram of Resilience on you, and that you have already spoken with Mathredis Firestar in Burning Steppes, and that regardless of who gets the Dark Key, you open the chest. After weeks of trying and failing, I wasn't taking any chances. It is worth the effort!
And yes, it is BOP, and can't be split up; though, you'll want the extra one anyway! An extra +40 FR can make a big difference in MC.
