Mithril Order quest chain

The Mithril Order quest chain provides a blacksmith with the recipes they need to complete the quest

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.

Preamble
An older smith in town (Orgrimmar for the Horde, Stormwind for the Alliance) offers to teach you something new.
 * Horde: Aturk the Anvil asks you to bring back 4 Steel Breastplates and 4 Steel Plate Helms. In exchange, he will teach you how to make.
 * Alliance: Hank the Hammer asks you to make 6 Golden Scale Bracers. In return, he offers you.

Part one: Galvan the Ancient
Hank the Hammer (or for the Horde, Ox) recognizes your achievement, and asks you to take a 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...

McGavan is happy to find another worthy of induction into the Order. And he knows where the smith is! He directs you to take a token to Galvan, to show that McGavan sent you.

Galvan, you are told, is deep in the wilds of 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):
