Scarlet Monastery: Cathedral


The cathedral is very similar to the library and armory: pull carefully and stop runners.

There is one trash mob in particular that is really nasty: the Scarlet Wizard. He comes into melee range to cast Arcane Explosion. As with all AoE spells, grounding totem is useless. The Arcane Explosion will also cause casting pushback. Make them your priority target, even over melee.

One thing to remember is to clear out the whole cathedral as engaging Mograine will aggro any remaining mobs.

Drop wise, it's one of the best instances. You will get tons of good caster items in here, as well as mail items for level 40.

A hidden boss in the left chamber on the right side of the cathedral. You can open the door by pulling on a torch on the wall. He only drops greens, but as mail will be available with level 40, the boots are quite nice. They have lots of armor and stamina which is lacking on the cloth caster stuff.

Do not overnuke! If you accidently kill her, she will not resurrect Mograine and you will be missing out on half of the loot.

Her drops are awesome: caster necklace and hat, a healing mace and one design for jewelcrafters.
Scarlet Commander Mograine

Total wuss. Can be two-shotted with Elemental Mastery and Blood Fury.

I cannot stress enough how incredibly awesome his shield is. It gives 1548 armor. At level 40, with a mix of mail and cloth items, it more than doubled my armor when I equipped this shield. The next best shield that can be farmed effectively is the Battered Viking Shield from Olaf in Uldaman. It comes with considerably less armor. If you have an Alliance shaman team then even this is not an option as the three vikings can only be attacked by Horde.

Anyway, get it! With all 5 shaman. The other crap he drops can be safely sharded.
