The Graveyard is the first and lowest wing of the Scarlet Monastery in north-east Tirisfal Glades, usually run at levels 30–38 in WoW Forever. Here is the way into the monastery for both factions, every monastery quest with the wing it needs, the two bosses, the three rare spawns and the new Forever loot.

Overview

Inside Scarlet Monastery: Graveyard

The Scarlet Crusade holds the old monastery above the Whispering Gardens, and its four wings are four separate dungeons behind one hall. The Graveyard is short and linear: a torture chamber where Interrogator Vishas works on his prisoners, an open graveyard full of restless dead, and a crypt underneath where Bloodmage Thalnos waits. The first rooms hold Scarlet humanoids, the rest is undead, and many of the spirits are not even elite.

Vishas is level 32, Thalnos 34 and the three rares 33, the same as in Classic. The beta raised its level cap to 30 on October 1, and players have run the Graveyard and the Library since October 2. Killing Thalnos counts for the Experienced Spelunker achievement, which wants the last boss of every wing.

What Forever changed is the loot. The old boss blues were reworked into better items, Vishas and Thalnos drop a new item each, and the rares got stronger gear too.

Level 30–38 is the range the dungeon is tuned for, not a minimum entry level. This is the Forever level range as it stands today. It can still shift before launch.

Forever vs Classic

What changed in Scarlet Monastery: Graveyard for WoW Forever

What is different from the Classic version you may know. Everything else works as it did in Classic.

The boss blues were reworkedBeta data
Vishas's Torturing Poker now burns its target with a fire effect that grows with every hit, and his Bloody Brass Knuckles went from a white item to a blue fist weapon that binds on pickup and hits harder against humanoids. Thalnos's Bloodmage Mantle is blue now, with spell power and health regeneration in place of Spirit, and his Orb of the Forgotten Seer has a little more spell power and can be used a level earlier.
Two new boss dropsBeta
Vishas drops the Painwalker Buckler, a shield, and Thalnos the Polished Skullcap, a mail helm. Both are new in Forever, and beta players looted them in the first runs after the level cap went to 30.
Better loot from the raresBeta data
Azshir the Sleepless's Ghostshard Talisman now gives attack power and extra attack power against undead, his Necrotic Wand adds some spell damage and Shadow resistance, and his Blighted Leggings lost their Shadow spell power. The Fallen Champion's Embalmed Shroud trades Intellect for spell damage, and Ironspine's Eye is no longer unique.
Patterns from the bossesBeta
Since October 1 crafting recipes drop at random from dungeon bosses. Beta players got Leatherworking and Tailoring patterns from Vishas and Thalnos, and the crafted Defender's Leather Helm from Thalnos. Bosses of other dungeons drop the same ones, so they are not part of the boss loot below.
Softer damage over timeBeta data
Vishas's Shadow Word: Pain does about a fifth less damage, and Thalnos's Flame Shock hits for about half of its Classic damage. Both bosses still use the same spells as in Classic.
A new Alliance questBeta data
Past Due is new in Forever. A Kirin Tor scholar wants The Lost Magic of the Runemasters, a book Arcanist Doan took from the old library of Dalaran, so it is done in the Library. Nobody has reported where the quest starts yet.
Less quest bonus, more kill experienceConfirmed
Since October 1 dungeon quests give only half of their bonus experience on top of a normal quest. Dungeon kills pay more since October 8: about 20% more experience, and in a group your own level decides your kill experience, not the highest player in the party. One player far above the mobs' level still means no experience for anyone in the group. Take the monastery quests along on your Graveyard runs.

Location

Where is Scarlet Monastery: Graveyard? Entrance and how to get there

Scarlet Monastery stands in the far north-east of Tirisfal Glades, on the hill above the Whispering Gardens. Climb the stairs into the building to the monastery hall at about 85.1, 31.4. The four wings open from its far end: the Graveyard portal on the far left at about 84.8, 30.3 (usually 30–38, Vishas and Thalnos), the locked Cathedral door on the left (38–46, Fairbanks, Mograine and Whitemane), the locked Armory door on the right (36–44, Herod) and the Library portal on the far right (33–41, Loksey and Doan). The Scarlet Key from Doan's Strongbox in the Library opens the two locked doors, so groups go Graveyard, Library, Armory, Cathedral.

4With a mount at higher levels, fly to Chillwind Camp in the Western Plaguelands instead and ride into Tirisfal past The Bulwark at about 84.3, 70.0.
5Climb the stairs into the hall at about 85.1, 31.4 and take the open portal on the far left. Beta players call the Alliance trip long, so meet at the monastery.

Group Finder

The Forever Group Finder lists the whole monastery as one entry at level 30, not one per wing, and the portals let you in from level 20.

After a wipe

The nearest spirit healer stands south-west of the monastery at about 79.0, 40.8, by Faol's Rest. Run north-east up the hill, up the stairs into the hall and through the far left portal. The Graveyard is short, so a wipe costs a few minutes.

Interrogator Vishas

BossHumanoidLevel 32

2 abilities3 loot items

Interrogator Vishas runs the torture chamber at the start of the wing and drops the new Painwalker Buckler.

Abilities

Shadow Word: Pain · A word of darkness that causes Shadow damage over 18 sec.
Immolate · Burns an enemy, then inflicts additional Fire damage every 3 sec. for 21 sec.

Tactics

In Classic he is a simple tank and spank. Clear the Torturers around him first so you fight him alone.
Immolate and Shadow Word: Pain stack damage over time on the group. Both keep ticking for a while, so the healer should not drink right after the kill.

Tank

Pull him clear of any Torturer left in the room.

Healer

Keep up with the burns on several players at once.

Watch out for: A Torturer joining the pull.

4 abilities3 loot items

Bloodmage Thalnos is the last boss of the wing, an undead caster in the final room of Honor's Tomb. He drops the new Polished Skullcap.

Abilities

Flame Shock · Instantly sears the target with fire, causing Fire damage immediately and Fire damage over 12 sec.

Healer

Watch the melee during Fire Nova.

Damage

Move out of Flame Spike before you finish a cast.

Watch out for: Melee standing in Fire Nova and Flame Spike at the same time.

Trash

Dangerous trash and diseases

Most wipes here start before a boss. These are the packs and effects to respect.

Scarlet Torturers
Elite humanoids around Vishas that put Immolate on you. Pull them away from his spot so he does not join, and let the burns run out before you pull the boss.
- Scarlet TorturerElite
- Immolate
Anguished Dead
Elite undead in the graveyard, with weak Unfettered Spirits around them. Veil of Shadow cuts the healing on its target by 75% for 15 seconds, so remove it from the tank or slow the pull down until it fades.
Haunting Phantasms
They summon an Illusionary Phantasm that fights for one minute. Focus the Haunting Phantasm and let the summon fade on its own.
Scarlet Scryers
In Classic Scryers stand with the Sentries in the first halls. Sleep takes a player out for up to 30 seconds and Shadow Bolt hits hard, so interrupt or kill the Scryer first, before it puts the healer to sleep.

Quests

Scarlet Monastery: Graveyard quests

This is the quest list of the whole Scarlet Monastery, so you can plan all four wings at once. The Graveyard itself only has Vorrel's Revenge and Hearts of Zeal. The book quests and Past Due are done in the Library, and the two big kill quests need the Library, the Armory and the Cathedral. Most quests are for the Horde. The Alliance has In the Name of the Light, Mythology of the Titans and Past Due, and Rituals of Power is a mage quest for both factions.

Known issue: Into The Scarlet Monastery has no rewards. The Horde quest from Varimathras still points at its three Classic rewards, the Sword of Omen, the Prophetic Cane and the Dragon's Blood Necklace, but none of them exists in Forever. What the quest gives now besides Undercity reputation is unknown.

Before you go

Pick up the quests firstMost monastery quests start far away, in Undercity, Thunder Bluff, Southshore and Ironforge. Grab them before the trip, the Graveyard itself only offers Vorrel's Revenge.
Bring CC for both kindsThe first rooms are Scarlet humanoids, the rest is undead. Polymorph and Sap work on the Scarlet Crusade, Shackle Undead and Turn Undead on the graveyard mobs.
Bring interruptsScryers sleep your healer and Thalnos casts all fight long. A kick or two in the group makes both easier.
Plan the whole monasteryIf you want the Armory and the Cathedral later, the Library comes next. Doan's Strongbox at its end holds The Scarlet Key for the locked doors.

Look over the Forlorn Cloister on the way in. If a rare is up, clear around it before you pull.
Unfettered Spirits are weak but pull the elite undead in with them, so take the cloister one group at a time.
Stay at range on Thalnos and keep the melee ready to step out of fire.

FAQ

Questions players ask

What level is Scarlet Monastery Graveyard in WoW Forever?

The usual range is 30–38. The bosses are level 32 to 34 and the trash 30–33. The Forever Group Finder lists the whole monastery as one entry at level 30, and the portals let you in from level 20. With the beta cap at 30, the Graveyard is the only wing whose usual range starts at the cap.

Where is the Graveyard entrance?

In the Scarlet Monastery in north-east Tirisfal Glades. Climb the stairs into the monastery hall at about 85.1, 31.4. The Graveyard is the open portal on the far left at about 84.8, 30.3, no key needed.

Which Scarlet Monastery wing should you do first?

The Graveyard, then the Library, the Armory and the Cathedral, in the order of their levels. The Library also gives The Scarlet Key from Doan's Strongbox, which opens the Armory and Cathedral doors.

What quests are there for Scarlet Monastery, and which wing does each one need?

Graveyard: Vorrel's Revenge. Library: Compendium of the Fallen, Test of Lore, Mythology of the Titans, Past Due and the mage quest Rituals of Power. Library, Armory and Cathedral: Into The Scarlet Monastery for the Horde and In the Name of the Light for the Alliance. Hearts of Zeal drop in every wing.

Which rare bosses are in the Graveyard?

Azshir the Sleepless, the Fallen Champion and Ironspine, all level 33 rare elites in the Forlorn Cloister. In Classic a lone Unfettered Spirit marks one of six spawn points, each respawn there has a small chance to be a rare, and respawns take 10–15 minutes.

What drops in the Graveyard, and what changed in Forever?

Vishas drops the Torturing Poker, the Bloody Brass Knuckles and the new Painwalker Buckler. Thalnos drops the Bloodmage Mantle, the Orb of the Forgotten Seer and the new Polished Skullcap. Most of the old items were reworked into stronger blues, and each rare carries three items of its own.

How long does a Graveyard run take?

In Classic a group at the right level clears it in under 30 minutes. There is one path from the torture chamber to Thalnos, so nobody gets lost.

What is the fastest way to Scarlet Monastery for Alliance players?

There is no Alliance flight path in Tirisfal Glades. Fly to Southshore, go north past Dalaran, swim through Lordamere Lake into Tirisfal and follow the road east past Undercity to the dirt path north. With a mount at higher levels, fly to Chillwind Camp in the Western Plaguelands and ride in past The Bulwark.
