Components for the Enchanted Gold Bloodrobe

Bring Robes of the Arcana to Menara Voidrender in the Barrens.
Robes of Arcana

Description

The first item I will aid you in creating is a robe. You will gather the items for me, and we will put them together. Afterwards, assuming you succeed, you will have the first of many items that will make you more powerful and aid you in your struggles.

To start, you must have crafted Robes of Arcana. A tailor can make this for you, or perhaps you can purchase one from someone else--I'd be most impressed if you could make it yourself--but regardless, bring me the robes, and we shall go from there.

Progress

How goes your search for the robes, <name>? Have you created them yourself? Such personal touches I find make the imbuing of magic that much sweeter. It gives you a greater sense of accomplishment. But I understand if you choose the quicker path and have it made for you - there's something to be said for such... ambition.

Completion

This will do nicely, <name>.

All magical items must begin with an item of high quality. The more effort and skill put into an item, the greater the magics it can hold. Rare and more expensive components hold the magic better. You will not regret having the robes fashioned into the ones we will make for you later on.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 250 experience (15 at max. level)

To get the robes of arcana, you must get someone else to make it, or make it yourself. The pattern is hard to get, and doing this quest is a real pain, so it might not be worth it. People selling the pattern and the robes in the auction house usually sell them for a lot of money (if it is even being sold at all, I rarely see it in the auction house).

This quest is not needed for any Warlock abilities, and if you want, you may skip this quest, just look at the Gold Bloodrobe and the chain of quests. But however, after this quest, the rest of the chain is much easier, and much cheaper. If you can complete the whole chain of quests, the robe's stats are nice and helpful. But before you continue on, please consider the above first.

The robes can be farmed in the tower, North of Darkshore, in there are level 30-35 mobs. Your main target would be the Dark Strand Voidcaller's (https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=2337 https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=2337). the drop rate is really low, around 1.25% so don't expect to get it right away.

The Robes of Arcana (https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=5770 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=5770) are not as great as the Enchanted Gold Bloodrobe (https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6900 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6900) given at the end of the quest.

I would suggest to buy the mats to make the robes and then find a tailor to make them for you. It would come out cheaper than buying it at the AH from someone who is trying to jack up the price.

I would highly recommend trying to get this completed, the reward will last you a good 20 levels easily if you want, I'm still wearing mine at 55 as I've not found a suitible replacement yet. Easiest way is to either buy the robes of arcana on the AH or find a tailor who can make them for you, the result is well worth the couple gold it'll likely cost you.

Everybody has pretty much said all there is to say, but a little tip is (especially if you're buying the robe off the AH) to bring a Gold bar with you. This way, you can hop on the ship to Booty Bay (for Horde anyway) and turn in the gold bar for the next part of the quest. Just a little time saver.

Im not sure what has changed but I did this yesterday and the first 2 Burning Exiles that I killed dropped both Smoldering Stones. Very easy quest although you had to go back and forth a lot, but the robe is very nice and the XP you get for this chain is very good. I believe I received about 10k XP for the chain.

Unless you are a lvl 37 or higher, Id bring help for the burning exiles. As stated above, they are 38s and 39s

People get upset when a quest for their character's class is hard because you have to gather a lot of materials (ones that are relatively easy to find, just not in the numbers you need). I guarentee, NONE of them are as hard as this one. The highest drop rate for the pattern is less than 2% (how many other classes have to farm a pattern for their quests?), and if you don't have Tailoring (like I did; took up JC and Mining instead) you need to either make a Tailoring character and level it up or find someone who can use the pattern and make one for you.

If we're going to have to keep getting Robes of Arcana for this chain, it wouldn't hurt to make the pattern drop more often (or to make it a trainer-learned one).

I agree, with so many people taking up warlocks, the pattern should have a better drop rate, then again if your a warlock, and tailor, the plan should be taught to you be doing a quest or something easier like ""here you go, youll need this &lt;name&gt; to make what youll need "" you know something. However if your on Windrunner, Shendrock has the plans, nvr dropped for me, and found it on the AH, pricy but w/e. Have the plans now for it, so look me up and ill make for you. if not on that toon look up trainwrekag, my main. ill make for free just provide the mats. PS must be horde toon. sry allies, no luck for you.

This quest series does not count towards any of the Loremaster achievements, though they will increase your completed quest count.

I was going to do this quest (lev 35 Warlock) but I came to the conclusion that my current robe was better (conjurers vest of the owl) https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=9844 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=9844

The auction house was asking 22 gold for the robe of Arcane. Maybe when I get my tailoring skill up or earn more $ later on I would not do this quest. Like stated on other posts. Unless you want to move up on the quest chain I would not waste my time.

I'm a level 32 warlock and read all the above comments. I went to duskwood ready to grind forever to get the pattern. I don't know what happened but I got 2 patterns for the robe out of 3 kills ! The co ords were 56.2, 26.0. I was able to make the robe as a tailor. Thanks to all for the good advice.

Okay so I ended up going to Thousand Needles on Darkcloud Pinnacle. You have to kill Grimtotem Geomancers to get the pattern for the robes. It took me like an hour or more because you have to kill everything for new ones to respawn. The drop rate was .5 percent which is really bad but i did get one so it can be done and dont give up.

With prices for https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=3182 Spider's Silk having gone through the roof since a few patches back (at least on the servers I'm playing on), you'll most likely want to not only farm for the pattern, but also for the silk. Your best bet are the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=2565 Giant Plains Creeper in Arathi Highlands; next best chance are the spiders in Duskwood, if only for the masses of them running around.

All in all I daresay https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6900 the end result is not really worth all the trouble; if you're a tailor yourself, mats for https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=7054 Robe of Power will cost you about 10-20% of the amount you'd have to pay for pattern+silk to make Robes of Arcana, and the +SP are highly more useful in the 30+ levelrange.
Alternatively, https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6324 Robes of Arugal are available through SFK at a much earlier point with a decent drop rate, and then there's also https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=7711 Robe of Doan from SM library. Both will probably serve you better than the reward at the end of the quest chain...
