Overview
Inside Scarlet Monastery: Armory
The monastery once housed Lordaeron's priests and served as a place of learning. The Scourge's rise during the Third War changed that. The Scarlet Crusade turned it into a stronghold, treating outsiders as possible carriers of the undead plague and rejecting non-human races regardless of their allegiance.
The Armory serves as the monastery's military heart, with weapon stores and training halls guarded by disciplined soldiers. Those ranks stand between your group and Herod, the Crusade's celebrated champion at the end of the wing. Both Horde and Alliance players can take on this part of the monastery.
Getting there
Head to the Scarlet Monastery complex at Whispering Gardens in Tirisfal Glades, in the Eastern Kingdoms. Your destination is the Armory wing.

Main bosses1
Herod is a level 40 elite human boss. His fight alternates between heavy melee pressure and a spinning attack that forces nearby players to move.
Abilities
- Rushing Charge · Increases the caster's movement speed by 180% for 4 sec. and causes it to inflict an additional 610 damage on its first attack.
- Enrage · Increases the caster's attack speed by 60% and the Physical damage it deals by 50 for 2 min.
- Whirlwind · Attacks nearby enemies in a whirlwind of steel that lasts 10 sec., inflicting weapon damage plus 0 every 2 sec. Grants the caster temporary magic immunity.
- Cleave · Inflicts weapon damage plus 20 to an enemy and its nearest ally.
Tank
Be ready to absorb the extra damage on Herod's first attack after Rushing Charge.
Healer
Watch the tank closely during Enrage, which increases Herod's attack speed and Physical damage.
Damage
Avoid stacking beside the tank, since Cleave hits its target and that target's nearest ally.

- Alliance quest checkLook for In the Name of the Light and Mythology of the Titans before the run. Keep their objectives handy while planning your monastery visit.
- Set aside about 20-30 minutes for a full clear.
- Treat the Armory as a moderate leveling run, with a difficulty of about 4/10.
- Take a look around the Hall of Champions if you enjoy the setting. Its large statues commemorate the order's praised heroes.
