They will vanish if your dps is to low it seems, i tried to solo and did around 200 dps, Dark Rider vanished with about 20% hp left.

Comment by Bloodcharge

Just completed this at lvl 27 on my hunter, with lots of help obviously. Might be able to get it straight away at 25.

Dark Rider Location Guide - https://youtu.be/wIqX33Fyfqs

1. Pick up Ariden's Sigil from Dalaran Agent in Deadwind Pass
-Dalaran Agent is in a campsite (Ariden's Camp) in the northwest area of Deadwind Pass. Entrance is just north of the fork in the road coming from Swamp of Sorrows.
(Note: You do not NEED Ariden's Sigil to collect relics from Dark Riders. You only need Ariden's Sigil to SUMMON the Dark Rider. As long as at least one person in your group can summon the Dark Rider, all group or raid members who tag Dark Rider with damage can loot the relics.)

2. Collect 7 relics from 7 Dark Riders.
-Barrens, just to the southwest of Crossroads, next to a tree near the main road.
-Desolace, northern end of zone, between the two roads south of Nigel's Point.
-Duskwood, southeastern portion of Raven Hill cemetary (Western end of zone)
-Deadwind Pass, Northern portion of the zone, near a cliffside overlooking the river.
-Arathi Highlands, Northeastern end of zone, north of main road between Hammerfall and the neighboring farm.
-Badlands, somewhat in the center of the zone, slightly to the east in a large clearing between a ring of 5 mountains/plateaus on the map.
-Swamp of Sorrows, northeastern portion of zone, just to the southwest of fallow sanctuary and north of Temple of Atal Hakkar.

3. Return to Dalaran Agent in Deadwind Pass
-Turn in all 5 relics for some xp and silver.
-Pick up quest A Service To Dalaran which you immediatly turn in to collect a Supply Bag.
-Inside the Supply Bag will be your class rune.

Easily soloed as a fresh 40 hunter. Just stayed in Viper aspect and kept up Viper Sting to ensure that the dark rider couldn't cast anything, and then it was a complete tank and spank, casting Mend Pet every 8 seconds or so to keep my pet up.

Comment by elfomal

If you're mounted, the 'dark rider detection' buff / trigger wont happen, you need to go on the places said on the guide and dismount for the dark rider to trigger the trinket.

Comment by Ealyona

As of P4, completing the quests for the rune at level 60 only gives 34 silver and 60 copper.
The quest for the rune itself gives 1 gold, 23 silver and 40 copper.

Comment by y3ll

As of P5 the dark rider respawns instantly and you will also get the "dark rider detection buff" while on mount.
