Hey everyone,
A small update was made to Dire Maul that flew under the radar. Gordok’s Shackle Key once again drops, meaning you can once again farm leatherworking/tailoring recipes that were previously made unobtainable when the key was removed in Cata!
Have fun 
Oh nice. Good callout.
Man, its been a hot minute since I done that dungeon and doing that weird quest. Nearly slipped my mind of all about it. Nice catch.
oh so that’s what the "Free Knot’ quest business is in my unlearned.
I thought there was a goblin NPC there anyways with a quest??
I swear there’s one that you talk to, to do the gordok tribute
You’re correct, but the key (the turn-in item) was removed 13 years ago. It has been reintroduced
I just did a two-toon run and received two keys. Both of them came from the same boss. The drop rate seems a little low, but it’s doable
