Scarlet Monastery Armory guide

Overview

The Armory has a single boss, Herod, at the end of the wing, so a run is quick and easy to repeat. Herod spins with Whirlwind, gets more dangerous at low health, and his death pulls a wave of trainees into the room. His loot is Ravager, Herod's Shoulder, Raging Berserker's Helm and Scarlet Leggings. Before you can enter, someone needs the Scarlet Key from the chest behind Arcanist Doan in the Library; the same key opens the Cathedral at 38-46.

WoW Forever runs every dungeon on a single difficulty, with a limit of five instance resets per hour. Unique boss items are blue, and Uncommon or Rare bind-on-pickup drops unlock their appearance for every eligible looter, so repeat runs still add appearances for the rest of the group. Since the 8 November hotfix, dungeon enemies give 50% more XP.

The Chain of the Scarlet Crusade set drops in the monastery: +10 Shadow Resistance at 2 pieces, +30 attack power against Undead at 3 pieces and +1% hit with spells and attacks at 5 pieces. Each threshold adds its own bonus, so the set pays off piece by piece as you run the four wings.
