DUNGEON · LEVEL 31-45
Scarlet Monastery
The Scarlet Crusade, an order of zealots born to fight the undead Scourge that ended up seeing enemies everywhere, made this monastery its great stronghold in Tirisfal Glades. Behind its walls lie torture chambers, a graveyard that no longer rests, a library of forbidden lore, an armory full of soldiers and a cathedral ruled by Commander Mograine and Inquisitor Whitemane. It is one of the most farmed dungeons for leveling, because each wing is quick to clear.
How to get there
Tirisfal Glades, in the far northeast. Inside the main building there is one portal per wing: Graveyard (the leftmost open one) and Library (the rightmost open one) with no requirement; Armory (locked door on the right) and Cathedral (locked door on the left) need The Scarlet Key, which is in a chest behind Arcanist Doan in the Library (or have a rogue pick the lock). The Horde gets there easily from Undercity; the Alliance comes through Silverpine Forest from Hillsbrad Foothills or the Alterac Mountains.
What changes in Forever
Four wings, each with its own portal. Warcraft Tavern ranges (Forever guides): Graveyard 30-38, Library 33-41, Armory 36-44, Cathedral 38-46. It was already available in the beta before the level 30 cap increase (notes from 1-10). Whitemane's Chapeau (Cathedral) doesn't appear in Wowhead's Forever database, a sign that that wing's loot has changed. General beta changes: dungeon quests give 50% less bonus experience; several dungeon quest rewards drop from blue to green (notes from 8-10); dungeon enemies give 20% more experience.

Tips
- Do the wings in level order (Graveyard, Library, Armory, Cathedral) and don't leave the Library without opening the chest behind Arcanist Doan: without The Scarlet Key you can't get into the Armory or the Cathedral.
- On Arcanist Doan, when he puts up his shield and warns, everyone get away: his Arcane Explosion wipes out half the group.
- In the Cathedral, save interrupts for Whitemane: if she heals or resurrects Mograine unchecked, the fight drags on a long time.
