This is a non-progression task. It is a group mission (3-6 players) that begins with Boldger Bristlebeard (click for map image) in the Norrath's Keepers camp of the Lavastorm Mountains.

Pre-requisites for requesting:
- Minimum "indifferent" faction with Norrath's Keepers

Hail him to get a quest window pop-up.

You have been assigned the task 'Diving for Lavarocks'.

We suspect that the dragon residing in the delve may share some sort of life force with the lava in the volcano and we are very interested in the source of this power. Venture into the dragon's lair and slay his followers. Bring back six calcified lava rocks from the depths of the churning magma and you will be rewarded. Good luck, my friend and may Tunare speed you back!

Note: This group mission scales to your group's level. The highest is 68+, outlined here.



Touch the cave entrance to Lavaspinner's Lair 0/1 (The Broodlands)

This is marked on your compass (far southern instanced entrance).

Loot 6 Calcified Lava Rock 0/6 (Lavaspinner's Lair)

Slay 15 Denizens of the Delve 0/15 (Lavaspinner's Lair)

Here, kill any 15 drakes in the zone. For the item updates, you need to look around for big, purple rocks in the lava (sometimes sticking out of the lava) called "lava rock". Upon /open'ing one, you see one of two emotes:

Add Spawn: You hear a loud screech as something breaks free of the stone.
Loot Item: You feel a blast of heat as you open the rock and see a dark stone inside.

Deliver 6 Calcified Lava Rock to Boldger 0/6 (Lavastorm Mountains)

Once you have six of these, return to Boldger Bristlebeard and hand them in:

Your work has proven invaluable. We will make sure these stones are put to good use.


Rewards:
Up to 35 Radiant Crystals (number varies according to group's level)
1x "Norrath's Keepers Token" (faction turn-in item)

I will NEVER do this one again. The Calcified Lava Rocks seemed to be less than 50% chance to loot, the egg-like containers they are looted from are beneath the surface of the lava half the time where you cant see them whatsoever and it takes forever waiting for them to spawn.
Horrible Mission

Things things appear to spawn sporadically throughout the whole mission. I've swam right past a spot that was blank only to come back later and see an egg there. And rarely can you see them sticking up out of the lava. Worse, you have a 50-50 chance of getting either a lava rock or a drake. Fun. Worst mission ever. And to top all this insanity off is that the instance respawns. So, no fair clearing ahead of time b/c you'll just be fighting again as you search. This is one of the worst missions to do.
Tirranun?

Because technically, Lavaspinner's lair is the entrance to Tirranun's Delve.

Why is this listed as related to Tirranun's Delve? This seems to instance Lavaspinner's Lair...
Lava Rocks

The calcified lava rocks are found in the lava. They are large purple stones that need to be hit a few times. Sometimes they will spawn a drake.
Not a solo task

Minimum players for this should be listed as 3 as we were unable to get it with two.

Calcified Lava Rocks

Just attempted this mission. The Calcified Lava Rocks are largeish purple egg looking things in the lava. You will be able to see the tops of them sticking up out of the lava. For us they were straight in, and then to the first right. Probably around 12 mobs in or so is when you'd hit where we found them at.

I've attempted this task today. The reward is 23 crystals and a Keeper's token.

But we didn't manage to finish it though : we did not found the calcified eggs in the lava. We'll need to retake it once at least;
