ArmoursmithFollow

I just reached level 50 and have completed all the Imperial Plate Quests in Tanaris. I was surprised to find out that I recieved almost no reputation increase with the Thorium Brotherhood? I am not even half way through neutral. I also didnt appear to get any XP. Is this because I am already 300 armoursmith and already made lots of thorium gear prior to doing this quest?

As an armoursmoth, where do I go now to get more recipes/quests ? It seems that there is nothing more on AH to buy either. I have some enchanced thorium quests that I have purchased from AH but cant turn them in until I can do DM which seems like a while to go.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Most of the good armorsmithing plans at the higher levels are rep-based. The "...of the Dawn" stuff comes with Argent Dawn rep, the Dark Iron stuff with Thorium Brotherhood rep, and apparently some really nice stuff with Cenarion rep. Like Leawond says, the best way to check is under "Trade skills - by trade" - armorsmithing has a separate heading in the blacksmithing area, and you can click on the plans to find out who sells or drops them.

The Dire Maul library really isn't very hard to get to if you know someone with a key - at your level you might need to corpse walk to the DM north door (if you can't stealth) and an invisibility potion to get to the library entrance, but if you already have all three books it's worth the trip.
