You can get this quest too in Ironforge. You can get it from the Expedition guys. I forgot the name, but he gives it too. No need to head to Dosolace.

Point of note. They updated the mobs' pathing, and you're best clearing the places first, if you don't want a huge force of mobs chasing you, or helping the Bosses. Herod has friends now. 10 students, non-elite, will come to attack you, after you killed him.I think it was 10. I know there were a lot of them, and my pet took care of most of them. Even for a lvl 60+, this quest is still a good fight.:)
Locksey, a Robin Hood hint, had 3 hounds when I met him.

For chuckles, use your toy greench, and watch it go argro things. that little toy kicked booty.:)

The Graveyard and the Library can be accessed immedately, but the remaining instances require a key. Completing a run through the Library and killing Herod grants you the key. Don't do as I did- loot him and them leave. The key is actually in a chest at the back of the room.

As a 48 Hunter I had little trouble soloing the Library through to the end. Very time consuming, but if you play conservatively you should have little drama. I never had more than 3 mobs at a time. The mobs will all run when they are badly hurt and this should be your biggest concern- use concussive shot and wing-clip as necessary.

Herod was surprisingly very easy to kill. He is all alone in his room- sheeped me once. No worries. The Houndmaster on the other hand well and truely ripped me and my pet a new one and should not be tackled alone- at least not at level 48. He is surrounded by 4-5 hounds and it makes for a difficult fight given the combined DPS they all output.

A final tip- if you are soloing, you will come across rooms where it is possible to walk through without agro. Don't be tempted- KILL THEM ALL! You never know when you'll be back-tracking through there chasing a monk (or 2).

Good luck!

For those Alliance (like myself) who had never been there before, here's how I got there. It may not be the easiest way, but I didn't have any problems except 1, and since I'm going to tell you how to avoid it, you shouldn't have any at all. For me the trip took only about 10 minutes, but I had a mount. For PvP people... you might have more issues than I did. I play on a normal server and don't keep myself pvp flagged, so passing places like the Undercity turnoff were no problem.

- Start at Southshore.

- Leaving Southshore take the first left on the road (Sign heading toward Silverpine Forest / Hillsbrad). Keep going toward silverpine.

- When you get to the silverpine zone, the first road sign, take a right toward ambermill

- In ambermill there is a road sign leading toward pyrewood villiage, shadowfang keep, the sepulcher and gilneas, go that way (left)

- At the next sign, take a right toward tirisfal and the sepulcher

(All mobs so far are alliance and animals in the teen's, but at this point you'll start to see some very low lvl (like around 10 - 13) undead.)

- Don't take any turnoffs off the long road, just keep heading toward tirisfal

- Around the time your zone changes to Ruins of Loraedon, you'll see the sign pointing the way you're going show that you're heading toward Brill and Plaguelands - keep going that way. (Warning to anyone pvp - at this point you're pretty much walking right past the turnoff to the Undercity.)

- Shortly after that sign, you'll get to a fork in the road with a sign. DO NOT take the right fork to get to the Monastary. There is a camp only about 20 feet away from the turn off and I rode here as a 45 and got two hit killed by a ?? death guard elite. You have to turn left at that camp anyway, so instead, go straight through the fork (through the grass in front of you) to make a wide curve around the camp.

- Cutting through the grass in front of you away from that camp should basically have you run right into a path leading to the monastary (more of a 'path' than a road now). Follow the path.

- It will come to a T and a sign will tell you to go right toward the monastary. You'll see the instance stone to your right also. Shortly after you pass the stone on the road, you'll start seeing some Scarlet Monastary bad guys that are around lvl 30.

Hope that helps!

As I said, probably lots of other ways to go, but this was a pretty easy way for me.

i got this final quest from him at lvl 34

and mograin and whitemane was done with a 41 shaman and a 41 priest duo :)

ok, for this quest you must have completed these quests first:

Down the Scarlet Path - Part 1
(Destroy 30 Undead Ravagers, then return to Brother Anton at Nijel's Point.)
the undead ravagers look like giant skeletons located in south-west Desolace.
THE RAVAGERS ARE LEVEL 37 AND 38
NOTE: there are agressive level 40's walking around where the ravagers are

Down the Scarlet Path - Part 2
(Take Brother Anton's Letter of Commendation to Raleigh the Devout in Southshore.)


Then you can do In the Name of the Light.

NOTE: The bosses you need to kill are in:

Armoury
Cathedral
Library


NOTE: to finish these quests
and be able to do the
whole chain you need to
at leist Level 34

Had a member of Bloodbath (a L60 Paladin) ask if any guild members wanted to go to SM. I had never been there, but I had two quests to complete so I said "Yes".

The L60 Pally, myself, and three other guildiees L43-46 Night Elves, one was a Druid) went.

All I can say is Wow! The Pally led me to where I needed to go for both quests, and we absolutely slaughtered everybody in the entire Monastery. I don't think my damage level ever got below 70%.

Whatever spells the Pally was casting...were awesome. He would aggro about 5-8 elites around him, cast some spells that dropped mulitiple fireballs around a huge area...or another spells that would freeze the elites. Then the rest of us would wade in and hack and slash.

The Druid "sheeped" elites in the last room where Whitemane and Mograine were. Then we went after them and absolutely clobbbered both of them.

As an added bonus, the Druid teleported me back to Ironforge so I could complete one of the quests, and I flew back to Southshore to complete the other one. Picked up about 8,000 XPs for both!

Ok, well im lvl 33 right now and i havent started the chain yet and i was wondering if i could attain this final quest for the Black menace at 33? or imight lvl doing the quests so could I attain it at 34? im planning on dual wielding with hypnotic or the Ziggler

for those of you that think you cant use the orb... think twice....

Illussionary Rod
+7 Stamina
+15 Intellect
+10 Spirit


Orb of Lorcia + Sorcerous Dagger (the more common drop off Doan)

+14 Intellect
+14 Spirit
+9 damange and healing

If you dont mind sacrificing that 70 health and 15 mana, then the extra spirit isnt half bad, along with the +9 damage to spells. though it is more of an alternative for those that run the library many times and still cant find the dagger... at least you can have somthing.

To low-30s toons who want one of these rewards "early on", you need to complete the first quest in southern Desolace killing 30 ~lv39 skellies first. Either wait til you're about lv36-37 and solo it (perfectly doable for any class, I did so on my priest at lv36), or have a higher-lv help you (ie. do all the work for you). Then go to SM and run the 3 major wings where the mobs you need to kill are (Loksey in the Library, Herod in the Armory, Mograine & Whitemane in the Cathedral).

IM A 35 ROGUE AND I CANT GET THE QUEST CUZ THE QUEST IT STARTS WITH I CANT ATTAIN TILL LVL 39....

I'm doing this quest now. I'm thinking which reward i would take when i'm done. My Class is Warrior. (Lvl 38)

I already have the Whirlwind Axe so i thought maybe the sword is better to take in combination with dual wield?

Could anyone give some advice about this choice for my class? My sombody have some expirence with it?

SM can be solo'd by a 60 easily- so yeah
if you can get the quest and run it with
a 60 then you'll get the reward. Quest
rewards don't have a level requirement-
only the quest.

To the mage who wanted to sell his reward-
quest rewards and 'most' quest items are
BOP.

Where can i get the DOOR key ???

4700 xp at 39, 200 Stormwind Faction

For a mage which reward is recommended? The Dagger is good, but I dont melee much. The orb? The intellect is nice. I can use swords but havnt found one in awhile and would need to get my skill up before it is of any real use, but again I don't or at least try not to melee much. Or should I just take the Axe and sell it?

What do you need todo before he gives the quest? He givesit to other people, but not me, do u need rep or somthing?

which one of these is best for a hunter
?

I know this is sort of stupid but when Brother Anton sent me to see Raleigh the Devout I was Stoked. MY NAME IS Raleigh, Blizzard even spelled it right. Someday I'm gonna go there and stroll around like I own the place.

Be sure to clear both side rooms before attacking commander and DO NOT kill the priest and let her rezz him otherwise you wont get loot OR the credit or kill and there is also another boss guy (not very hard) in one of the rooms to the right you can pull a torch down and youll find him there kill him and there is usually a good drop

I think that it's not quite fair, that the Alliance gets an Offhand-Items with 11 Spi and 6 Int, but the Horde gets one with 12 Int and 5 Sta, namedProphetic Cane.

u dont need a full group i go with a 60 and i get all the drops and a sh*t load of XP
p.s it takes long as hell tho but its worth it

I'd like to point out that the axe sells to a vendor for around 2g30s, double the price of most of the other stuff.
