Scarlet Monastery Library guide

Overview

Houndmaster Loksey is the first boss and brings three hounds; Arcanist Doan waits at the end of the wing, and his Detonation punishes anyone who stays close. The chest behind Doan holds the Scarlet Key, and the key opens the doors of the Armory at 36-44 and the Cathedral at 38-46. A group that skips the Library cannot enter those two wings, so make sure everyone loots the key on the way out.

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. Since the 8 November hotfix, dungeon enemies give 50% more XP, while the one-time dungeon quests still give most of the experience.

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.

Getting there

Scarlet Monastery is in Tirisfal Glades. The Library has its own entrance, next to the other three wings.

Bosses

1Houndmaster Loksey

Loksey fights with three Scarlet Tracking Hounds, and the hounds do most of the damage.

• Scarlet Tracking HoundsThree hounds join the pull. Kill them first, or crowd control one while the group burns the others. Beast CC such as Polymorph works on them.
• BloodlustLoksey casts Bloodlust, so he and the hounds hit harder. Expect a damage spike and keep a cooldown for it.

Tank

Build threat on all three hounds before anyone uses area damage.

DPS

Switch to the hounds first and hold area damage until the tank has them.

Healer

Watch the tank closely while more than one hound is alive.

• DetonationA heavy blast on everyone close to Doan. When the cast starts, move to the edge of the room or out of range.
• Arcane ExplosionArcane damage to the whole group when you fight close to him.
• SilenceBriefly stops casters and healers from casting. Keep the tank's health high so a silenced healer does not cost a death.

Tips

• Loot the chest behind Arcanist Doan for the Scarlet Key before you leave.
• Run the Library before the Armory and the Cathedral, both need the key.
• Keep the group close in level: XP is calculated per character, and nobody gets XP if one member is far above the enemies.
• Kill or crowd control Loksey's hounds before you focus him.
• Move away from Doan the moment Detonation starts.
