Worn Parchment (4)

Description

A group of warlocks has taken up residence around and inside the tower. I would have returned to Auberdine to report to Elissa earlier, but I was afraid that I might miss something while I was away.

Delgren suspected such a company might be gathering at the tower, but did not know why.

A few scraps of parchment that the warlocks carry have found their way to my hands, but I need more to complete the puzzle. I warn you not to venture into the tower, however, the warlocks there are much more powerful!

Reward

Also, you get: 10

Progress

Have you found any more of their scrolls? I should be able to piece together a larger picture of the cult if you can find them.

Completion

Many thanks, <name>. This should shed some light on this warlocks' gathering...

Hmm... the Cult of the Dark Strand... I have never heard of this group before. Having no knowledge of their history, it is all but impossible to say what their plans must be.

There is no more time to delay. Warning must be delivered to Delgren immediately.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 135 experience (8 10 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Darnassus

The tower is just to the right of the quest giver ""Balthule Shadowstrike"" (55,26) and just begin killing Dark Strand Fanatics. They occassionally drop the ""Worn Parchement"" that you need.

All I can say is that the drop rate is really horrible and I ran out of warlocks very fast...

Didn't take me too long, died a few times as a 16 rogue. I didn't think it was that hard

If you're doing this quest when it first becomes available, stay out of the tower itself. The mobs within don't drop the parchment and are level 28-29.

While doing the Exploration Achievements I stopped off here for Darnassus rep and did this quest line.

The first 6 mobs I encountered in total dropped 4 Worn Parchments.

Not a bad drop rate for myself.

Got all 4 parchments in just 7 mobs. Started at the southern campfires and worked north to the hill. Mobs are very far apart and easy to pull singly.

Got them in 10 kills and only 1 death on a level 17 Feral Combat Druid.

OK, does anyone else see some references to Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail w/ this quest? Ie.

Tower of Althalaxx = Castle Anthrax
https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=3663 Delgren the Purifier = Sir Galahad the Pure

Oh, and the fact that all the mobs around the Tower are females...<div class=""quote"">Zoot: Welcome, brave sir Knight. Welcome to the Castle Anthrax.
Sir Galahad: The Castle Anthrax?
Zoot: Yes... it's not a very good name, is it? Oh, but we are nice, and we'll attend to your every need.There are probably more, but I'm only halfway through the quest line. :D
