The Active Agent

Travel to Stratholme and search the ziggurats. Find and return new Scourge Data to Betina Bigglezink.
Scourge Data

Description

You will have to delve deeper into Stratholme, <name>.

Beyond the first gates you will find the ziggurats. We know that the Scourge draws great power from these structures. Search the Ziggurats and return with any information that you may discover.

Reward

You will receive:
Seal of the Dawn

Progress

We are on the verge of discovering what this new active plague agent may be!

Completion

Astonishing! This will take months to dissect and analyze. The Argent Dawn thanks you for your efforts, <name>.

With our blessing, take your pick between either this Seal of the Dawn or this Rune of the Dawn. You can use either of them instead of a standard Argent Dawn Commission to collect scourgestones on our behalf. Should you lose yours, speak with me and I'll get you a replacement.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 685 experience (41 10 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Argent Dawn

You will find the data in a box that randomly spawns in the Ziggurats.
They can spawn in Nerub'Enkan's Ziggurat, Baroness Anastari's Ziggurat or in Maleki's Ziggurat

I managed to pull this quest off solo as a lvl70 rogue thanks to this http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?wquest=5213;page=1;howmany=50#m119795908282333476 post. Start by entering the side entrance and then opening the service entrance gate, pass through it and stealth. Continue up to the gauntlet gate and distract the stealth detecting mobs when needed. After you've opened the second gauntlet gate you'll see the boss you want to kill straight ahead. The door behind her will open when she dies and the chest you're looking for may be inside. If not, you can have a shot at Nerub'enkan located to your left after the second gauntlet gate. But keep in mind that this fight will be alot harder because he's melee and he spawns two adds, at least he did for me.

I had to use 2x evasion and a healing pot to survive even though I'm almost fully epic geared. Now, there's a risk that the chest is not located inside that place either and if so you'll have to reset the instance and try again (unless you feel like going for the third boss, which I never tried myself). MoD is strongly recommended, camouflage helps as well against the gargoyles. And remember that there's stealth detecting mobs in there that's also cloaked, called ""Eye of Naxxramas"", which you can only hope you won't encounter. It's also worth noting that the chest you're looking for is not trackable with the dwarf racial ""find treasure"".

You can get the 2 trinkets (ap and spell damage), by dropping the one you got, and then speak with Betina Bigglezink, ask for one of them, and then ask for the other one faster.

The ""Ziggurats"" are the green towers on your mini-map in the undead area of the city. Each has a different boss. Note that the first tower's boss on the right, Baroness Anastari (female ghost appearance) will turn the first attacker against the others repetatedly and this includes minions. This can be tricky. I advise reading up on her. If you solo her the mind control does not occur it seems.

Note that the Scourge Data needed for this quest spawns INSIDE the Ziggurats, so no need to look for it around and outside of them.
