had to run once when aggroed by two mobs. Pull the mages, run around a corner, use hammer of justice and they go down quick.
The Jailor is a different story at 27 5 levels above you. Was a long fight. Didn't have to bubble but used arcane torrent and all buffs available...

Key in house at drop from jail (62.41)
Gol'dir at the innkeerper house second floor (60.44)

Anything you can use to slow or root mages makes this a cakewalk.

Warriors, hamstring.
Mages, frost nova.
Hunters, wing clip.
Rogues, stunlock.
Shaman, earthbind totems.
Druids and Priests, use your imagination.
Paladins and warlocks, push your I.W.I.N. buttons.

type in /tar jailor and walk towards a building. if your target goes away(without someone attacking you) then the jailor is not in that building. Gol'dir is in the building that looks like the tarren mill inn.

he moves around jailor drops the key look in all buldings

Did this as a lvl 34 prot pally. had some trouble with the mages (so many of them) but i managed to do it without dying. Hes inthe second story of the two story building to the left. The guard is righ in front of him.

Easily soloable as a lvl 36 rogue :D

if you end up dying somewhere in the center of the building, you can rez at the corner where he is located and then you can just kill the jailor and get the quest... i am also realizing that sometimes if you do not chase the ones who run/disappear they do not aggro more...

Was good! I like this quest... very interesting!
I got the key from the human lvl 37 and used vanish to escape from the other 2 with him.
So using the Distract, went to the orc in the second floor in the "human Inn"...
Very good. one of the bests quests of the game.

I just did this quest with a lvl38 shadow/discipline priest. It's no problem with the directions you get from here. :)

Warlock tactic (I did this at lvl 33): Summon your Eye of Kilrogg and go into the inn & up the stairs, then select the closest Syndicate member to Gol'dir and immediately end the Eye enchant.

Send in your Voidwalker to attack that Syndicate member up the stairs, he will aggro and drawl attention of every single one on the way up there, simply follow him up the stairs as he takes the punishment, talk to Gol'dir and run out ASAP, if your Voidy is about to die before you can get out of the inn, then Sacrifice him for the Bubble and run.

As for getting the key from the Jailer, somewhat same tactic: Find him and highlight him via Eye of Kilrogg, then send your VW in there to tag him, then pull your VW back a bit to get the Jailor outside (VW Fishing) load him up on DoT's while backing yourself & your VW away from the camp, at this point the rest of the adds will run back to thier posts meanwhile your VW will have so much aggro on the Jailor he will follow you the distance, DoT & Drain/SB til dead.

To get back to Gol'Dir, use the original tactic I mentioned (EoK > Mark closest Syndicate > Sick VW > stay on his heels > free Gol'dir).

Im sure a hunter with a sturdy pet could do the same.

GL!

do u have to talk to Gol'dir first? cuz i went in the big house first, and the jailor wasent there. went here to check and when i got back im dead off a spawn grr. hate these quest.-.-

I cant take down 3 at a time, even at level 36. I sap one and 2 more attack leaving me with little life after taking them both, and then the 3rd kills me....

All right, so I read through most of the feedback left by other plays and none of it is very specific and or wrong about the location of the jailor and Gol'dir. First off, the Jailor isn't in a friggin' inn. He's in the town hall building, Gol'dir is in the top floor of the inn, the back room.

soloed with my 35 warlock + void. just let my void run in and dot, fear the other target, voila

I actually soloed this at lvl 33 as a rogue. The jailor is hard as hell, and I did die from when he ran away into other mobs that killed me... but I looted the key, stealthed upstairs, and finished the quest without any problems

Bear in mind that Gol'dir is on the upper floor of the ALLIANCE style inn, the same style as the ones in Lakeshire & Goldshire. At first I went into the Horde style inn (Tarren Mill style), the one with the low ceiling and the stairwell on your left. Fought all the way upstairs only to find he wasn't in there, but in the building opposite. The jailer was at the end of the long room in the town hall as previously stated.

Managed this as a 34 hunter without too much difficulty. Sent my pet in to manage the aggro while I stood off and used my bow. Only died once, that was when my pet got polymorphed, and all the aggro turned to me. The only mobs to seriously watch out for are the Argus Shadow Mages, they fire quite hard-hitting shadow bolts, then once they reach low health they morph into a large armoured skeleton that hits for hard melee damage.

Fairly challenging for a 34 hunter, even for hunter hard to single-pull, ended up feigning a LOT.

Jailor has multiple spawn locations, including right outside room gol'dir is being held in on second floor of inn, usually he's at the town hall though.

hardest pulls are probly the town hall and the upstairs of inn.

AREA LOCATION:
Alterac Mountains. Strahnbrad* Village. Almost true North from Tarren Mill.
NOTES:
The village is run by Rogues (levels 34-36) permanently in stealth mode, and Wizards of same levels.
KEY LOCATION:
To free Gol'dir you MUST find a red Key first. It was (2/2 times) in the hands of a human: Jailor Borhuin (level 37). He was (2/2 times) at the dilapidated City Hall in Strahnbrad.
GOLDIR'S LOCATION:
Gol'dir is at the second floor in Strahnbrad's ruined Inn (3/3 times that I found him he was there).
FINAL NOTES:
Gol'dir will give you a quest to be delivered at Tarren Mill.

*A typo where I called this village Stratholme has been corrected.

L37 Priest solo'd with ease

The inn where Gol'dir is held is at cords 61, 43. You have to get to the second floor. And in a house at 62, 44 was the house where the Jailor spawns.

I soloed this as 33 hunter though it was a bit of a challenge.
I had to use feign death ones and to kill the jailor melee style because of the small rooms in the inn.
But it can be done and the xp is nice :)

The jailer isnt in the 2 floor house, he's in the townhall. Maybe he is random, but check there if you cant find him.

I soloed this easily at L36 Mage. Cabon's info is incorrect. Goldir is on the second floor of the inn. Jailer is in the two-story house building across from the Smithy.

I agree, this quest is terribly difficult for most classes to solo even at much higher levels than the quest is listed... I'd find a partner if you want to finish the quest.
