WoW Forever SFK Quests at Launch: Rewards & Which to Pick

Updated November 4, 2026 for WoW Forever Launch.

Horde characters get three Shadowfang Keep dungeon quests: Deathstalkers in Shadowfang, The Book of Ur and Arugal Must Die. Warlocks, Rogues and Paladins each get a class quest, and Horde Paladins get a separate chain. Pick the reward your class can use, and gather the quests before you enter the keep.

WoW Forever SFK quests at a glance

Deathstalkers in Shadowfang

High Executor Hadrec at the Sepulcher in Silverpine Forest gives this quest. Deathstalker Adamant opens the gate to the keep's main area once Rethilgore is dead. Deathstalker Vincent's corpse lies in the courtyard just past that gate, and talking to him finishes the quest.

The Book of Ur

Keeper Bel'dugur in the Apothecarium in Undercity gives this quest. The book sits on a shelf in Fenrus the Devourer's room. When several group members loot it, it respawns on a 10-second cooldown. One creator reports it respawns so everyone can take one.

Arugal Must Die

Dalar Dawnweaver at the Sepulcher gives this quest. Kill Archmage Arugal and loot the Head of Arugal; the quest completes once you have it. Everyone on the quest can loot one head.

Which reward to pick

Choose the reward your class can use. The Deathstalker and Book of Ur quests let you pick one item each. For Affliction Warlock leveling, the Staff of Soran'ruk offers Shadow damage and Stamina.

The rewards are not worth the effort, a few players say, since they are strong only briefly and players outlevel them first.

The Orb of Soran'ruk (Warlock)

Doan Karhan in The Barrens, at 49.2, 57.2, gives this Warlock quest. Bring him three Soran'ruk Fragments and one Large Soran'ruk Fragment. The small fragments drop from Twilight Acolytes in Blackfathom Deeps, and the large one drops from Shadowfang Darksouls in the keep. The large fragment is not guaranteed, and the Darksouls are immune to Shadow damage.

The Horn of Xelthos (Rogue)

Rogues of both factions start this quest at the Dead Drop at 47.1, 71.1 in Silverpine Forest, near the keep entrance. It must be done solo. Take the Master of Deception talent first, especially at lower levels.

1. Pickpocket Gemela in the dining hall, where Baron Silverlaine stands, for the Sister's Half-Key.
2. Pickpocket Gefell on the stairs past Silverlaine, taking the right branch, for the Brother's Half-Key.
3. Combine both halves into the Twin Key.
4. Open the chest in the Stables with the Twin Key.

Gefell and Gemela appear only when you are alone in the keep. The door that Rethilgore unlocks needs a Breaching Charge, which Veenix gives for a Venture Co. Work Order pickpocketed from Venture Co. enemies in Stonetalon Mountains. After the first turn-in, a letter in your mailbox sends you back to the Dead Drop for the ring.

Stealth is a major obstacle, say players who tried it, since guards and mobs near the kitchen and the first enemies spot them even with stealth skills. On September 24, a rogue reported an Internal Bag Error opening the chest, which used up the Twin Key; clear bag space first.

The Test of Righteousness (Alliance Paladin)

Jordan Stilwell in Dun Morogh, at 52.4, 36.8, gives this quest. It is the fourth step of a chain that starts with Daphne Stilwell in Westfall, and it cannot be shared. Inside the keep, recover Jordan's Smithing Hammer from the Stables, where the Fel Steed horses are. The chain ends with Verigan's Fist.

A Moon-Kissed Blade (Horde Paladin)

This chain was added in patch 1.60.1. It is open to Undead and Tauren Horde Paladins at level 20. Lumina Windsinger at the Sepulcher starts it. The Enchanted Silver Ingot lies on a table next to Archmage Arugal. Two more parts come from the Deadmines and the Blackfathom area, and you hand them to Trevan Rol to end the chain in Wolfsbane.

Tome of Dalaran

Loot the Black Tome in Archmage Arugal's room, and make sure every player in the group does. Take it to the town hall in Ambermill and link it to the Leyline focus to make the Tome of Dalaran. The tome is needed to summon an extra boss in the City of Dalaran dungeon.

Route and pickup order

Horde players fly to the Sepulcher in Silverpine Forest, ride south and turn west to the keep. Horde characters that are not Undead may instead ride the airship that departs Orgrimmar and lands in Tirisfal Glades. Alliance players take boats from Stormwind Harbor to Auberdine, then to Menethil Harbor, then to Southshore, and walk the road into Silverpine Forest. The entrance is just north of Pyrewood Village, at about 44.5, 68.0 or 44.7, 67.8.

Pick up the Horde quests before you go in, since they start at the Sepulcher and in Undercity. Once you're indoors, the stable horses all tug in one direction, so either handle them with care or leave them be. Go through the house door rather than the ramp on the right.

The keep is tuned for levels 20 to 30 or 22 to 30. The spirit healer is at the Sepulcher for Horde. The Group Finder lists the keep from level 18. reports that Blizzard halved the bonus experience of dungeon quests on October 1, while kills gave about 20% more experience from October 8.

The chain is long and hard, with many deaths and repeats, some players say.

I fought my way all the way to Arugal just to find out the chest was in the stables. I died 19 times.
