Seven SFK quests in WoW Forever can be picked up for Shadowfang Keep: three Horde-only dungeon quests and four class questlines, including a Horde Paladin chain. Pick up all three dungeon quests before you enter — Arugal Must Die, Deathstalkers in Shadowfang and The Book of Ur — and add your class quest if you play a Warlock, Rogue or Paladin. Horde characters can gather the three dungeon quests in one trip and finish them in a single clear.

Horde dungeon quests
The three general dungeon quests are Horde-exclusive, need no long prerequisites and can be shared with party members.
Arugal Must Die
Dalar Dawnweaver hands out Arugal Must Die at (44.2, 39.8) in The Sepulcher, Silverpine Forest. Kill Archmage Arugal, the keep's final boss, and loot the Head of Arugal; the quest completes as soon as the head is in your bags.
Seal of Sylvanas is a strong early ring, which makes this the first of the three to pick up on a Horde caster or healer.
Deathstalkers in Shadowfang
High Executor Hadrec offers Deathstalkers in Shadowfang at (43.4, 40.8) in The Sepulcher. Deathstalker Adamant is the NPC who opens the gate into the keep's main area once Rethilgore is down, and from there you speak to the corpse of Deathstalker Vincent in the courtyard just past that gate.
The Book of Ur
Keeper Bel'dugur gives The Book of Ur at (53.6, 54.0) in the Apothecarium of the Undercity. Loot the book from a shelf in Fenrus the Devourer's room; if several group members need it, it respawns on a 10-second cooldown. Its reward is a pick-one rather than a single item.
Class quests
The class quests are locked to their class, and beyond them the SFK quests in WoW Forever split by faction: the Warlock and Rogue questlines are open to both sides, while each Paladin chain is faction-specific.
The Orb of Soran'ruk (Warlock)
Doan Karhan at (49.2, 57.2) near Camp Taurajo in The Barrens starts this questline; he is neutral, so Warlocks of either faction can take it. For the Shadowfang Keep step, loot a Large Soran'ruk Fragment from the Shadowfang Darksouls past Baron Silverlaine — the drop is not guaranteed, and the Darksouls are immune to Shadow damage.
The Horn of Xelthos (Rogue)
Rogues of either faction start this one from the Dead Drop at (47.1, 71.1) near the Shadowfang Keep entrance in Silverpine Forest, and it must be completed solo. Pickpocket Gemela in the dining hall where Baron Silverlaine stands for the Sister's Half-Key, and Gefell on the stairs past Silverlaine for the Brother's Half-Key, combine them into the Twin Key, then use it on the chest in the Stables.
Work Order and hand it to Veenix for a Breaching Charge.
The Test of Righteousness (Alliance Paladin)
Jordan Stilwell at (52.4, 36.8) in Dun Morogh starts this Alliance Paladin weapon quest. The part inside the keep is recovering Jordan's Smithing Hammer from the Stables, the area where the Fel Steed bosses are found.
A Moon-Kissed Blade (Horde Paladin)
Added in patch 1.60.1, A Moon-Kissed Blade is a Horde Paladin questline open to Undead and Tauren. It needs level 20, starts with Lumina Windsinger and ends with Trevan Rol, and cannot be shared. The chain sends you after a weapon capable of bringing down the worgen Old Fire-Eye.
The Tome of Dalaran
Have the whole group loot the Black Tome in Archmage Arugal's room before you leave; it is not a quest, but every player needs it. Bring it to Ambermill's town hall, then connect it with the Leyline focus to make the Tome of Dalaran; this item is required to summon an extra boss within the City of Dalaran dungeon.
Are the class quests worth it?
Many players find the class questlines long and difficult, and one described fighting all the way to Arugal only to find the chest they needed was back in the Stables. Some players say the chains are enjoyable and worth doing for the experience, while others feel the rewards do not justify the effort.
