I completed this solo as a 16 priest.

The book is in the inn-like building, in right-hand room on the second floor. It is guarded by a 16 elite.

I went in the gate, the around behind the buildings to the left, and into the inn. I was able to pull single mobs the whole way.

Not too bad.

Solo'd as a 17 rouge.

Just go stealth and haul ass down to the last building staright down. It looks like one of the buildings in Brill on the inside. sap the last mob upstairs next to the book case and your good to go stealth back to leave the place .... very easy.

Exactly 42,73 , placed in library , in the inn, on 2 floor.
The room with Apothecary Berrars ( thats the name of the guy inthere :)

I did it like this as a lvl 16 mage: to the left of the entrance of the village stands a hill i jumped from the hill up on the wall then to the nearest house and then i roof jumped all the way to the inn. Ran in died ressed in Berards room spam sheeped him (i aggroed a sentry when was i was taking the book so i had to frost nova him) ran back the same way on the roof ressed and jump over the wall and ran home.
(at the third house the town hall or something u gotta go to the left and run on the wall abit)

i ve just managed to solo this with my alt, a female prist 19lvl.As kattla said above(nice description btw :)..thnx..)there's a hill outside village.From hill jumped to the fence and consequently to the nearest roof.After 2 roof-walkings i reached a high building and donw again nearby the fence which i followed until i got behind the house i had to go into(koords are 43,79,in 2nd floor,2nd room to the right of stairs).There i used power word shield to manage get into the house without get killed by the 15lvl elite guard.Actually using psychotic scream(priest's fear),i managed to have my corpse exactly in front of the library with journal!!!...I res,feared the 2 guards(15&16elites),took journal,powered word shield again and renew so that i was able to die for 2nd time exactly in middle of stairs where i could res and teleported back to undercity in safe without agroing no1.As a priest i dont believe there's a better way to solo this.(dear angelflonne, i can't believe that u pulled only single mobs and thats why there arent any single mobs inside the hole village.Perhaps u confused).

After patch 2.3, this quest is no longer tagged as Group, making it look like Blizzard nerfed it as they did with many other former Group quests. Don't be mislead: the mobs are still Elite, so it's not exactly very solo friendly at the level you obtain it. For priests it't definitely possible at level 14 the way stasko1 described, but only if you are willing to die three or four times.

soloed as a 15 warlock, jumped down from sfk bridge, went to inn following the fence, used vw to help me get upper floor, died in front of the bookshelf, ressed, feared the mob and got the book...

ROGUES ---

This can be pretty easy and you dont actually need to kill anything to do it.

Stealth into the village and find the inn at around 43,73. Sneaking inside and up the stairs wont always be a problem (there was only two mobs in there when I went). Go into the third door from your left. Sap the guard (giving you about 20 seconds) and then run in to Berard's room. Slumber powder him and half inch (pinch) the journal.

Then peg it outside, dropping back to stealth if you can (evasion worked for me).

If you die after getting the book (I got stuck on the doorway and killed) then take your ghost round the back of the inn and resurect there. You can go into stealth mode again and sneak around the wall of the village to get out.

It's actually easier than that for us Rogues. If your about level 18 then it's just a case of walking into the room with the bookshelf in it, sapping the 16 elite guard, stealing the book, re stealthing and walking out. Oh and If you are around level 18 (Horde) you can pop into the town hall and do 'Pyrewood Ambush' - https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=452 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=452

Solo'd this as a Level 16 Warlock, instead of fighting my way to the inn i found a place the i could jump on the fence just to the right of the entrance then i ran along all of the buildings. Once inside the inn i took 1 mob at a time with Voidwalker tanking, if the Voidwalker got low on health i would spam health funnel till the mob either ran or was dead. be careful not to pull more than one at a time, i pulled 2 on accident and was health funnel'ing my voidwalker the entire fight (i used 2 Lesser Healing Potions, 2 Bandages, and Cannibalize to stay alive and keep Health Funneling it). I used all DoTs and didnt bother with curses then just shadow bolt spammed until it was dead. dont bother drinking either...just Life Tap then use Drain Life while VW is tanking.

Solo'd as 18 mage. Unequipped my gear, ran into the inn. Corpse run of course, then sheeped the guard, took the journal. This certainly is NOT a regular level 15 quest.

Soloed this with my level 18 UD shadow priest with no real trouble. I went up to the Pyrewood entrance, then followed the fence to the left, where I found the previously-mentioned break near the town hall. I then continued left (west), following the fence behind the buildings, to the end, where the inn is. The coordinates 43,73 are accurate. I pulled the two guards one at a time, then pulled the one mob near the inn door. The other two mobs on the ground floor did not aggro as I went upstairs. I was able to enter the right-hand room without aggroing the mobs in the other two rooms and killed the mob there before killing Berard. All single pulls, if you're careful. I relied heavily on sw:p, pw:s, and my wand to conserve mana in case of adds, which worked out well.

Directions if you want to fight the least:

At village entrance take a left. Hug the wall all the way to the back of the village. You'll come to a ledge, jump down. You'll come to big tree, maneuver around and keep going. You will hear the ocean when you get to the right place.

Go to the front of the lodging, kill what you need to get in. Enter, this should be an Inn with the sound of talking and dishes clanking. Kill to get to the stairs. Go up the stairs and take your first right. Kill Pyrewood Sentry in anter room. Keep going to back bedroom. Kill https://vanillawowdb.com/?screenshot=view&1.2106#29703 Apothecary Berard. Loot his bookshelf.

This is soloable by any class, just save your sleeping powder you get in brill for a quest and then take of all gear, die at house, res at Berard and use the powder, loot and hs. all easy

the people are no longer elite as of 2.4

!Only for Rogue players!

I did this mission solo with a level 14 undead rogue, and I'll tell you how!
Make sure you have:
- stealth skill
- ranged weapon (I prefer crossbows)
- a decent weapon (the best is dualwield with two swords with minimum 8.5 DPS, I have two scimitars - bought from the armorer in Undercity for 34s80c)
- a few restoring potions in case you mess things up
The trick:
First activate stealth, then follow the wooden citywall behind the houses till you find the big inn-like house (look at the map), when you stand at the angle behind the house shoot the guard from a distance that blocks the way when he is alone (he will notice you if you go around him), kill him and restore sitting or taking a potion. When you are in full strength activate stealth again and walk into the house. You will have to go upstairs, but the guy in the center blocks the way and will not move! Jump from the table to the stairs and go up (make sure this is all done in stealth mode!). When you are upstairs the quest-room is behind you, BUT DO NOT GO IN THERE, first take out the guards in the other two rooms (stay in the room while you fight them) so they will not come help the boss. Then shoot from a distance the last guard to lure him to you and kill him. Restore in one of the rooms and enter Berards room. Now you can fight Berard without him getting helped by his annoying guards, when you kill him, he may give you a nice item. Take his journal and leave the house like you entered it (always in stealth mode). Leave the town and VOILA, mission accomplished!
Have fun!

was easy as a level 16 frost mage, jumped the fence just north of the gap in the fence, so that I could loot the chest first. Then I ran around the edge of town along the wall until I got to the end building, pulled all the mobs one by one, had to kill maybe 7 or so to get to the room with the book. All non-elites and none were hard kills.

This quest counts for both the https://vanillawowdb.com/?achievement=1677 Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms and the https://vanillawowdb.com/?achievement=1680 Loremaster of Kalimdor achievements.

I Did this rather easy. I soloed with a 15 rouge. They are not elite. While I was there I also did the quest in the building to the left when first walking into the town. It gives a quite amount of xp. Anywho, back to A recipe for death, i stealthed around the right side of the building around the building and killed the guy to the left of the entrance. I stealthed again and the building has the inn format so i just stealthed up the stairs and only killed two things for the quest. you take the right and there will be a sentry and there he is. I just had to kill a 13 and 16 easy peasy.

I solo'd this as a level 15 priest.

I ran through town until I hit the Inn-like place where the book is. I ran up the stairs and ended up just dying there.

Rezzed my body on the stairs, no mobs nearby so I was able to heal and buff up. From there, just pick off the mobs one by one until you get to the book.

I did it as lvl 14 mage just went inside and killed everyone on the way 1 by one. Middle of the village (46,74) in one house you will find Deathstalker Faerleia how will give u a quest https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=452 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=452 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=452 so i advise to do this one as well if u are over there already. After that i went to get journual.It took some time to go by killing everyone on the way but got some xp finished 2 quest so it was worth it, i don't see any point to run through town until the Inn.

just finished it as a 14 rogue with ok equips. Wasn't exactly easy since I did die once but only because I managed to pull three at the same time.

Just remember to use those all mighty potions as needed.

I solo'd this as a level 13 rogue, didn't kill a single dude. Wearing nothing but vendor whites, i stayed in stealth, sapped the level 16, stole, stealth and left. Simples :)
