The Azure Key

Return the Azure Key to Lord Jorach Ravenholdt.
Azure Key

Description

It will take some time to decipher the fragments and remove the enchantment. When I am complete, I'll deliver the bag to Lord Ravenholdt personally.

There is still the matter of the key, said to be held by a green drake known as Morphaz. The drake has made its home deep in the Temple of Atal'Hakkar, the entrance to which lies in the Swamp of Sorrows.

Gather your friends and venture to his lair. Lord Ravenholdt will await your return with the key.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Ebon Mask
Whisperwalk Boots
Duskbat Drape
Also, you get: 75

Progress

The bag has already arrived from Archmage Xylem, have you found the key?

Completion

The key! I thought it lost forever. Please, take an enchanted garment from my stores -- they are reserved for rogues of exceptional skill and loyalty. It should be known that <name> is not to be trifled with!

<Jorach opens the bag and is bathed by a golden glow from within. His eyes widen and he stares...>

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 635 experience (38 10 at max. level)
  • 350 Reputation with Ravenholdt

Believe it or not, once in a great while you will find a blue that is better than an epic. I'm not going to say that is the case here, but try to be a little more open minded that epics aren't always best.

And whats with all this talk about ""everyone should pick this one, the other two are worthless and will be replaced""? Anything you have at lvl 52 will be replaced. Maybe some people like the look of the hood. I know that I put alot of priority on my looks. If the stats are lower, who cares? I don't die any more than I do wearing the best gear. If you're just giving friendly advice then fine. But try not to make it sound like you are saying they are noobs if they don't choose the one you did.

Unless you're able to tank both bosses simultaneously, I suggest using Vanish to pull Morhphaz alone.

To Vanish pull:

(1) Distract Morphaz close to you as shown in the video (to single him out).

(2) When Hazzas is on the other side of the room, use your x/bow/gun to shoot Morphaz, and run back a few paces.

(3) When Morphaz has reached you, and Hazzas is closing in -- Vanish. Both dragons will reset, but Morphaz will get there first (if you timed it right so Hazzas was farther away from his return point). Immediately shoot Morphaz again with your x/bow/gun (while Hazzas is still in Evade mode). This second shot requires careful timing!

(4) If successful, you will have pulled Morphaz alone.

Or you can do it the easy way and just do this quest while in a group and get some xp from the other mobs aswell!
Good luck!

Just a culture reference FYI, but I believe the ""Golden Glow"" line is a reference to the briefcase in Pulp Fiction.

I'm amazed it hasn't been brought up yet, but if you want +Stealth, you can still take the cape, then have it enchanted for the effect. Same increase (+5 to stealth), and you get both effects. Admittedly, this will cost you money for mats (unless you happen to be an Enchanter/Herbalist yourself), but it makes the cloak multi-purpose.

Anything you have at lvl 52 will be replacedExcept some items with ""unusual"" attributes.
Stealth-boots can be obtained even before: https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=8197 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=8197
Head is definitely obsolete in Outlands with any green drop ment for rogue (like https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=24713 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=24713 - ""of the Bandit"" version)
Cloak is one of the rare ""parachute"" items in game (don't know if it is unique, but it sure is rare)

So, cloak will last longer than the alternatives, and it does offer very valuable ""passive ability"" for a rogue (to boost Safe Fall https://vanillawowdb.com/?spell=1860 https://vanillawowdb.com/?spell=1860 ), since even smallest damage from fall breaks stealth.

But it is true that people stick to the ""color"" more than to the attributes, which can often mislead them. Looks are important for me too, I even wear https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=23909 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=23909 around the city sometimes :)

Just as an update for everyone - it seems like you can no longer use the lovely idea posted above. I saw that and I was excited to think I'd be able to get the needed mob solo.

Unfortunately, they've linked the two mobs per another post I found. So, even when they reset, if you shoot again you get both. In my experience... this = bad ju ju ;)

Just wanted to let you know, before you take the trip.

And that is why those with no interest in looks always end up with the coolest and best gear. Prudence ftw!

Seriously though, Blizzard isn't always spot on with item appearances so always trying to look good will eventually get in the way of being at the top of your game at some time or another. (Has anyone seen a Tauren in the https://vanillawowdb.com/?itemset=162 Embrace of the Viper set? *shivers*) And I've noticed that, especially as a rogue, the only way to look unique is to wear the things that everyone else doesn't consider ""cool looking"" for a rogue. I mean, yea, https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=23909 Blood Elf Bandit Mask does look pretty cool, but who doesn't have it? (Or the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=29332 imitation?)

If you really want to be smart about this, you would get the cloak. If you want the mask because of pure looks, there are be plenty of other BA rogue masks that sort of match its style, and many that look cooler. The boots are good and would be a bit of help, but most people by now should be comfortable with the nuances of stealth to not really need the stealth level 1 increase (at least all the rogues I know). If you still want the boots, take a look at the list in the comments on this page...
https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=22003#comments -Stealth Boots List-

The cape is a wise investment for a few reasons...
I. It stacks with safe fall (which apparently lets you fall from the cliffs in AB and still keep stealth);
II. Unlike https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=10518#comments Paracute Cloak or the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=32539)#comments Skyguard's Drape, the effect is constantly applied (Equip effect);
III. And also unlike the above two cloaks, you do not need 225 Engineering or Revered status with the Sha'tari Skyguard for use.

These three reasons should be enough to convince anyone to get the cloak. It's just the fact that, like many have already said, it has lasting value, and is relatively unique for how easy it is to acquire. The other items are just not that unique. However, if you really want the mask or boots, its your loss (lets just hope if you're in my battlegroup your an ally lol :)

All that energy into complaining hydef, when a simple wowhead search for https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=5719#comments Morphaz would give you all the info you need. ;)

Since patch 3.0.2, Duskbat Drape's description says ""Equip:Improves hit rating by 10"". So no more safe fall from this item. :(

Heh. C'mon now, this page is chock full of rogues....you guys aren't rogues if you prioritize agility over looking cool. ;) I personally have my Red Defias Mask on me, it's been there since level 8....guys, grab what you want, i don't give a rip and neither does anyone else here...but don't boast about what's better than what. This quest is like a candy store owner giving you one free candy. Just one. Some people like the chocolate bar, some people like the licorice whips, some people like the bubblegum. We're all rogues here, don't bother arguing about which is better. Me? I'm just in it to look cool, i can skip the .15-something percent crit/dodge chance, cause hey. You might have a better stealth. Or hit more often. But all my victims will say ""wow, that was a stylin' guy in a black mask who just one-shot me."" xD

Prioritize. Rock on, rogues, rock on.

Can someone attach the ""Sunken Temple"" tag to this quest?

I was searching all quests related to the Sunken Temple to collect them before doing the dungeon. But unfortunately, I didn't know this rogue quest requires something from there, so I have to go back there again.

Oh my. But what's in the bag? It has golden glow yes...could it be some remnant of the Dragon Soul? I might wonder.

Well I'm not for certain on what you should pick since the nerf of the cape, but if you run dungeons like I do now with the new dungeon system, you should get some really good boots already and in my opinion since the goody bags don't give out helm pieces, I suggest you go with the helm because it is the most useful. If you don't like it's look, You can always run Zul'Farrak and get the Helm of the Lycan and get the cool wolf helm to wear for some decent stats...
