The Hidden Key

Use the Small Brass Key to open Bookie Herod's Strongbox.
Small Brass Key
Provided Item:
Small Brass Key

Description

Although no mention of Private Thorsen is found in these records, hidden within the binding of one of Herod's ledger books is a small, brass key.

And after further study of his notes, a few references to a "secure strongbox" are contained among various papers. The box is somewhere within the Stockpile - the cavern complex at the back of Kurzen's Compound.

If this secure strongbox is found, and the small brass key can open it, then perhaps the mystery behind Thorsen's detection will be revealed.

Reward

You will receive:
Bookmaker's Scepter

Progress

The strongbox is bound in bronze, very sturdy, and very heavy.

Completion

Opening the strongbox, it's clear that this is where Herod keeps his more valuable coins and items.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 140 experience (8 40 at max. level)
  • 75 Reputation with Stormwind

Enter the cave at 45,8.

Directions to the box:
Follow the tunnel.
At the first fork go right down the incline (left is a dead end).
Keep going forward, do not turn and go down into the cavern below.
You will run into a bunch of boxes. Look around, the chest is in with them.

Yea, don't try to sneak into the stockpile to do this quest as a 32 rogue. It really doesn't work out very well lol.

By the way, around the cave and inside are stealthed ""Kurzen Commando""'es... Pretty much just stealthed rogues. Easy to kill, and don't run off so no big deal.

EDIT: I take it back. Those guys aggro like hell to me (lvl 35 rogue). If one spots me, three come at me. And then there's the casters around the cave as well, who aggro too and shrink you (reducing strength and stamina if I recall). Can get very annoying.

And the rogues ""smoke bomb"" you, stunning you for a lil bit.

did this as a lvl33 rogue and only had a problem by the chest. i just sapped everyone all the way or stayed close to the walls then i used vanish when i completed the quest and then used it again when getting the new quest. then did the same going out.
