The Archivist

Travel to Stratholme and find Archivist Galford of the Scarlet Crusade. Destroy him and burn down the Scarlet Archive.
  •  
Archivist Galford slain
  •  
Archive Burned

Description

Anything taken to an extreme is hazardous to our world, <name>. Take for example, the Scarlet Crusade. Do you believe that their blind zealotry serves a greater good? How many innocents have they destroyed in the name of the Light?

Blasphemers, one and all!

One in particular interests me, though; the Archivist Galford of Stratholme: A man that watches over the Crusade's most valued documents. Destroy him and burn down his archives! Should you succeed, return to me and be rewarded.

Reward

Also, you get: 1 80

Progress

Remember, <name> - we must be tolerant yet rigid in our beliefs!

Completion

Outstanding, <name>! Years of intelligence, lost! The Scarlet Crusade will surely feel this blow in the coming weeks.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 830 experience (49 80 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Argent Dawn

Simple enough quest, but pay attention if you have the Other Quest in this area, ""Of Love And Family,"" &lt;&lt;https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5848 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5848&gt;&gt;

Because Once you Burn the Archive, The Painting &lt;&lt;https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=14679#z0zc https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=14679#z0zc&gt;&gt; Burns too!

You gotta get the Painting before you Burn the Archive and if you have no room in your bags, don't be impatient like I was!

When you burn the archive, the painting does not burn...you can still loot it. I know I did.

You can https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=6948 hearthstone back to http://www.wowwiki.com/Light%27s_Hope_Chapel Light's Hope Chapel, or alternatively port back to Undercity if you have a mage in your group. Hand in https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5251 The Archivist and make the run back to Stratholme. You should be ahead of most of the respawns. Keep your party together and don't delay. Kill any patrollers you come across as you make your way back to the Archivist's room. With the quest completed and turned in, you will be able to collect https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13250 Balnazzar's head and begin https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5262 The Truth Comes Crashing Down. You should engage and defeat https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=10812 Grand Crusader Dathrohan, whom sheds his disguise and becomes https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=10813 Balnazzar. Collect his head for this quest.

How do we do these dungeon quests in the random dungeon finder? It breaks up strat into different instances and I don't know which one to queue for.

Received 1000 AD rep for this at lvl 80 as a non-human. also received 1000 rep for other quests from AD as well, not 500. IDK why or when this changed from 500 to 1k.
