Quest Basics:

Version : Alliance

Starts with  : Demisette Cloyce

Ends with : Menara Voidrender

Can start at : Level 31

Best at : Ranges in the 30's

When you reach level 31, Demisette Cloyce in The Slaughtered Lamb in Stormwind will provide you with the starting point of the quest to obtain your Enchanted Gold Bloodrobe, one of the best robes out there for Warlocks that level. In most cases, if you're a Human Warlock especially, you are already heading down there to start the quest to get your Felhunter, and as both quests direct you to Ratchet, you might as well pick this one up at the same time.

There are a couple of ways to get to Ratchet depending on what flight paths you have already opened. Since you are in Stormwind already, if you have the Booty Bay flight path open, its easy to jump on a Griffon to there and then hop the boat from Booty Bay direct to Ratchet.

If you don't have the Booty Bay flight path yet, you are going to want to catch a Tram to Ironforge, catch a griffon to Wetlands and take the boat to Theramore. From there you are going to have to make the long run through Dustwallow Marsh and The Barrens to get to Ratchet.

Once you are in Ratchet, head up to Menara Voidrender. At level 32 I received 625 experience just for that simple tast.

This is where the real quest begins. To start with, Menara wants you to fetch her the Robes of Arcana. I am lucky enough to have a Priest alt who is also a Tailor and has the recipe, so I changed characters really quick to make one. If you are a Tailor yourself, then round up 4 x Bolts of Silk Cloth, 2 x Spider's Silk and 2 x Fine Thread.

If you are unable to make one yourself, you could check the thread - Robe of Arcana. Who can make them on each server! - on the Warlocks Den forums which people had added their names for Warlocks to contact for the robe. If there is no one on your server, then head on over to the Auction House, as of January 2004 they sell for no more than 2 gold. Once you have that, head back to Menara.

Once you have handed in the Robes of Arcana, the next part is to obtain a Gold Bar and head to Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale to see Xizk Goodstith. There he will take the gold bar and turn it into Gold Thread for you to collect later on. If you have mining as your profession then you just need to find a Gold Vein and smelt the ore down. Alternatively ask any friends of guild mates if they have any spare, as you only need 1 x Gold Bar, I would be surprised if they said no :-) If all else fails, head to the Auction House!

Since you are in Ratchet, if you run down to the docks, the boat that arrives will take you directly to Booty Bay. Once you land there, you want to head up to where the griffon area is, up near there is a Tailoring hut in which you will find Xizk. Once you have found him, hand in the gold bar, which as you can see makes him very excited.

The Gold Thread takes some time to complete, so while he's doing that, head back to Ratchet to see what else Menara wants you to do.

Quickest way is to jump back on the boat. :-)

For the next part you need to collect 10 x Vials of Hatefury Blood and 1 x Lesser Infernal Stone. Both of these items come from Desolace. There's probably multiple ways to get to Desolace, but since I was already in Ratchet I ran out and across the Barrens to Stonetalon Mountains, through there to Desolace. Between Stonetalon and Desolace there's an area with heaps of Harpies, you can pick and weave your way through with care, but be warned if you get jumped by multiples they can hurt.

Once you hit Desolace, you want to head across to the top North East part of the map where you will find Sargeron, here you will find the mobs that drop your blood. Once you have killed enough to collect your 10 x Vials, head down to where I marked out on the map above, Mannoroc Coven. I had a blast in this area with all the Infernal, Felhunter, Doomguard and Succubus looking mobs. All the mobs you need to kill for these parts are around the level 36 to 38, but I was fortunate enough to have the boyfriend helping me out on his 42 Warrior. If you are going to attempt this solo, you might want to wait a few levels.

My Lesser Infernal Stone dropped on the first mob, so after only half an hour in the zone I headed back to Menara to hand in.

Just when you think Menara is done with you, she proves you wrong. Three last things to collect before you can obtain your robe.

The first one is easy, you need to head back to Booty Bay because your Gold Thread is ready, and since you are in Ratchet, just hop on the boat. From Booty Bay I flew to Stormwind, took a Tram to Ironforge and then a Griffon to Refuge Point, Arathi Highlands. This is where you want to go to collect your 2 x Smoldering Coal. I have marked a blue dot on the map above so you can find them with ease. Again these mobs were a bit higher then I was, most of them around 37 to 39, but if the boyfriend wanted to sleep that night he knew he had to come help me.
