Shadowfang Keep: Bosses, loot and quests

The keep overlooks Pyrewood Village in Silverpine Forest. Horde players can pick up two quests at the Sepulcher on the way. Get the book quest in Undercity first. If you are an Alliance paladin here for Jordan’s hammer, your stop is the stables.

Quest overview

Pick up before the run: quests and quest givers

Quests are grouped by where you complete the objective. Each entry tells you where to pick it up and which quests come first.

Inside the dungeon

The Test of Righteousness

Pick it up from: Jordan Stilwell · Dun Morogh · 52.5 / 36.9

Alliance paladins can find Jordan’s hammer in the courtyard stables.

Using Jordan's Weapon Notes, find some Whitestone Oak Lumber, Bailor's Refined Ore Shipment, Jordan's Smithing Hammer, and a Kor Gem, and return them to Jordan Stilwell in Ironforge.

Do these first (5)

The Horn of Xelthos

A separate solo job for rogues. Read your letter at level 20, find the dead drop near Pyrewood Village and enter the keep alone for the horn.

Find The Horn of Xelthos inside of Shadowfang Keep. Then, return it to C's dead drop near Pyrewood Village. You must complete the job alone.

Bags & food

Before the first pull

Level 14: detour for a bag?

If you keep leaving loot behind, start the sleeping bag chain at the charred remains in Westfall (Alliance) or the Barrens (Horde). You can pick up a 12-slot bag at the Stepping Stones stop in Stonetalon Mountains. The Cosy Sleeping Bag itself comes at the end. If your group is already at the portal, save the detour for later.

Food for the run

An Herb Baked Egg is enough for your first run. Sit and eat for at least ten seconds: Well Fed gives you 1 Stamina and 5% more experience from kills for 15 minutes. It won’t increase quest turn-in XP. Pack a spare egg in case the group wipes.
