Classic dungeon in WoW Forever

Scarlet Monastery Cathedral

The Cathedral is the last and highest Scarlet Monastery wing, for levels 39–45. In Classic it ends with Scarlet Commander Mograine and High Inquisitor Whitemane, one of the best-known encounters of the leveling dungeons. Its band overlaps the start of Krol'dok Stronghold, which takes over as the long-range option from level 40.

Before you go: getting there, keys and prep

The beta stopped at level 30, so nobody has run Scarlet Monastery Cathedral in WoW Forever yet. Each line says where it comes from: the final beta client (1.60.1.70532), Blizzard, or how it worked in Classic.

How to get there

  • Classic fallback The monastery stands in north-eastern Tirisfal Glades, one entrance building for all four wings. Horde characters are a short ride from the Undercity; Alliance characters have the longest trip of any dungeon in this band, through Horde land. Warcraft Wiki

Prep checklist

  • Classic fallback In Classic the Armory and Cathedral doors need the Scarlet Key, which sits in Doan's Strongbox behind Arcanist Doan at the end of the Library. One key per player; rogues can pick the doors. Warcraft Wiki
  • Datamined Dungeon enemies hit harder than in Classic: the client multiplies creature melee and spell damage by 1.2 in every dungeon, while their health stays the same. Expect more incoming damage per pull than old Classic numbers suggest. Daybreak Forever datamine
  • Classic fallback Collect the quests first: 2 more from the Classic list on top of the 1 in the Forever data, each with where it starts.

Bosses (Classic reference)

Unconfirmed

Classic reference — may change in WoW Forever. These are the main bosses of the original Classic dungeon. WoW Forever has not published this dungeon's encounters, so treat the list as a starting point until it is confirmed in game.

  1. High Inquisitor Fairbanks
  2. Scarlet Commander Mograine
  3. High Inquisitor Whitemane

What Forever changed about the loot here

Unconfirmed

Forever does not publish its loot tables, and no datamine carries them, so this is not a drop list and it has no drop rates. It takes the Classic drop list for Scarlet Monastery Cathedral and shows which of those items the beta client gives different stats. 16 of 24 have changed in build 1.60.1.70707.

Beta values from WoW Forever client datamine (1.60.1.70707, 2026-10-30 03:47 UTC). They change between builds, and an item missing from this table is one the current build leaves alone.

Quest prep

Unconfirmed

Only Hearts of Zeal is in the Forever data for the Cathedral. In Classic, both factions' long Scarlet chains end on Whitemane and Mograine, and they are listed below as Classic fallback. The Cathedral door needs the Scarlet Key from the Library.

  • Hearts of Zeal needs Going, Going, Guano! from Razorfen Kraul first, so a share fails for anyone who skipped it.

Alliance1 quest · Lv 33

1 quest cannot be shared: an item starts it, so everyone in the group has to loot their own. 1 quest needs an earlier quest, so a party share fails for anyone who has not done it.

2 more Scarlet Monastery Cathedral quests from Classic

Classic fallback

Classic fallback, not in the Forever data yet. The beta stopped at level 30, so the Forever quest data only holds the 1 quest above. These are the rest of the original Classic list for Scarlet Monastery Cathedral; Forever may have changed, moved or removed any of them.

Ordered by pick-up level, chains in step order. "Starts" is the giver's Classic spawn point; quests that show "inside the dungeon" are handed out past the portal.

Alliance1 quest

Loot and quests

Boss drop tables are not published yet. The beta client datamine lists new items but not where they drop, so no boss drop is tied to this dungeon here.

The beta client adds 146 new gear items with a required level of 39–45 (drop source unknown; beta datamine, may change):
