To get the robes of arcana, you must get someone else to make it, or make it yourself. The pattern is hard to get, and doing this quest is a real pain, so it might not be worth it. People selling the pattern and the robes in the auction house usually sell them for a lot of money (if it is even being sold at all, I rarely see it in the auction house).

This quest is not needed for any Warlock abilities, and if you want, you may skip this quest, just look at the Gold Bloodrobe and the chain of quests. But however, after this quest, the rest of the chain is much easier, and much cheaper. If you can complete the whole chain of quests, the robe's stats are nice and helpful. But before you continue on, please consider the above first.

Comment by Reeku

The robes can be farmed in the tower, North of Darkshore, in there are level 30-35 mobs. Your main target would be the Dark Strand Voidcaller's (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=2337). the drop rate is really low, around 1.25% so don't expect to get it right away.

The Robes of Arcana (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=5770) are not as great as the Enchanted Gold Bloodrobe (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=6900) given at the end of the quest.

I would suggest to buy the mats to make the robes and then find a tailor to make them for you. It would come out cheaper than buying it at the AH from someone who is trying to jack up the price.

Comment by 7055

I would highly recommend trying to get this completed, the reward will last you a good 20 levels easily if you want, I'm still wearing mine at 55 as I've not found a suitible replacement yet. Easiest way is to either buy the robes of arcana on the AH or find a tailor who can make them for you, the result is well worth the couple gold it'll likely cost you.

Comment by 30210

yea robes of arcana are rarely sold at AH.. i myself had seen 3 pairs being solf for about 2g 50s but didnt have enough gold and missed the chance to get them.. so take advantage of u see them in the AH

Comment by Napolie

If you happen to play on Sylvanas, Napolie could make you one
for a small fee of course

Ye i whas waiting waiting a week or so till the robes wor finally on a.h i whas gona buy em. but when i talked to the action guy and scrolled to "cloth" and chest some1 had allready bought em.... BAH :(

Just got the quest with my warlock and, after reading the comments on this page, seriously thought about dropping it. Things like these have been even harder to come by on the AH after TBC was released. But for once I gave into the idea about farming, sent my 60 hunter to Auberdine, and I got the Pattern: Robes of Arcana around my 20th kill of the Dark Strand Voidcallers. :)

So despite the low drop rate, if you got a high level main it's really worth giving farming the pattern a try. The reward is worth it, and the mobs in question are really, really easy to kill.

Comment by 65867

The pattern is not that hard to get. Deviance enchanters (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=910) in Duskwood Level 26-27 will eventually drop it. If you are a tailor yourself that's all there is to it.

Comment by 72187

After reading about what a pain in the butt this would be trying to farm this and pray for drops, I just went to the AH in SW and bought out an auction for it for 5g 90s. The current price was only 2g 50s but I know how hard these are to come by so I just took it when I could. Check the AHs first because these are very hard to find and getting the mats together to tailor one is just a big a pain as getting someone to make it.

Comment by 4723

Everybody has pretty much said all there is to say, but a little tip is (especially if you're buying the robe off the AH) to bring a Gold bar with you. This way, you can hop on the ship to Booty Bay (for Horde anyway) and turn in the gold bar for the next part of the quest. Just a little time saver.

Comment by 96853

I can craft the Robes of Arcana for anyone seeking it.
Just post the supplies below in game to Redoak ,I will then reply with the Robes.
You will need to supply me with:
x 20 Silk cloth (This item is dropped by any Humanoids)

x 3 Spider's Silk (Any spiders, but the Giant Plains Creepers in the Arathi Highlands has the highest drop rate for this item)

x 3 Gold

Hope to hear from you......
Happy hunting!!!!!!!!

Im not sure what has changed but I did this yesterday and the first 2 Burning Exiles that I killed dropped both Smoldering Stones. Very easy quest although you had to go back and forth a lot, but the robe is very nice and the XP you get for this chain is very good. I believe I received about 10k XP for the chain.

Unless you are a lvl 37 or higher, Id bring help for the burning exiles. As stated above, they are 38s and 39s

Comment by Speeddeath

NOTE!

If Your currently using robes of arcana and you turn this in,
Be sure to have a backup robe :)

Comment by 130288

I killed 60 void's and still nothing.And they are about 28-31lvl

Comment by 146145

I bought the robe for 3g in Ironforge, later the same night after i told a buddy to get it cause we were both doing the quest the robe went up to 5g.

Comment by ahmad

hi plz wheres the tailor to buy it

Comment by 180903

I had been farming for the pattern on my 70 in Darkshore for half an hour when I read here that people were getting the drop from Geomancers in 1k needles. So I logged onto my 30 warlock since I had a quest in that area already-- the pattern dropped from a geomancer as I was clearing the area. There was no farming about it!

Comment by 146819

People get upset when a quest for their character's class is hard because you have to gather a lot of materials (ones that are relatively easy to find, just not in the numbers you need). I guarentee, NONE of them are as hard as this one. The highest drop rate for the pattern is less than 2% (how many other classes have to farm a pattern for their quests?), and if you don't have Tailoring (like I did; took up JC and Mining instead) you need to either make a Tailoring character and level it up or find someone who can use the pattern and make one for you.

If we're going to have to keep getting Robes of Arcana for this chain, it wouldn't hurt to make the pattern drop more often (or to make it a trainer-learned one).

Comment by FathalbazookA

it took me one voidcaller to get the patterns, nice :))) but i dont have a tailoring skill, how do i put them together?

Comment by 160108

I agree, with so many people taking up warlocks, the pattern should have a better drop rate, then again if your a warlock, and tailor, the plan should be taught to you be doing a quest or something easier like "here you go, youll need this <name> to make what youll need " you know something. However if your on Windrunner, Shendrock has the plans, nvr dropped for me, and found it on the AH, pricy but w/e. Have the plans now for it, so look me up and ill make for you. if not on that toon look up trainwrekag, my main. ill make for free just provide the mats. PS must be horde toon. sry allies, no luck for you.

Comment by erhudy

This quest series does not count towards any of the Loremaster achievements, though they will increase your completed quest count.

Comment by 290256

althouth guys if you press on this mob you will see that it has NOT at his drops the robe of arcana:s i have killes like 200 mobs but nothing...:(

Comment by Ramus73

My advise is dont bother with this stupid quest. 1% drop rate on a couple of mobs. The pattern when it did appear on AH was 200g so only gold buyers (cheats) can purchase it. The robe itself never appears on AH and the blue robe you get at end of quest, imo, is nowhere near worth the time and effort. I used lvl 80 toon to farm for this recipe in Darkshore and Duskwood and after over 100 kills still no drop! Ridiculous. Dont take this quest, spend the time levelling instead because in the time its taken me looking for it I could have gained 3 levels.

Comment by 309518

I was going to do this quest (lev 35 Warlock) but I came to the conclusion that my current robe was better (conjurers vest of the owl) https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=9844

The auction house was asking 22 gold for the robe of Arcane. Maybe when I get my tailoring skill up or earn more $ later on I would not do this quest. Like stated on other posts. Unless you want to move up on the quest chain I would not waste my time.

Comment by 365872

I'm a level 32 warlock and read all the above comments. I went to duskwood ready to grind forever to get the pattern. I don't know what happened but I got 2 patterns for the robe out of 3 kills ! The co ords were 56.2, 26.0. I was able to make the robe as a tailor. Thanks to all for the good advice.

Comment by 402720

Okay so I ended up going to Thousand Needles on Darkcloud Pinnacle. You have to kill Grimtotem Geomancers to get the pattern for the robes. It took me like an hour or more because you have to kill everything for new ones to respawn. The drop rate was .5 percent which is really bad but i did get one so it can be done and dont give up.

Comment by Cutthroat

With prices for Spider's Silk having gone through the roof since a few patches back (at least on the servers I'm playing on), you'll most likely want to not only farm for the pattern, but also for the silk. Your best bet are the Giant Plains Creeper in Arathi Highlands; next best chance are the spiders in Duskwood, if only for the masses of them running around.

All in all I daresay the end result is not really worth all the trouble; if you're a tailor yourself, mats for Robe of Power will cost you about 10-20% of the amount you'd have to pay for pattern+silk to make Robes of Arcana, and the +SP are highly more useful in the 30+ levelrange.
Alternatively, Robes of Arugal are available through SFK at a much earlier point with a decent drop rate, and then there's also Robe of Doan from SM library. Both will probably serve you better than the reward at the end of the quest chain...

Comment by Thottbot

Does anyone know if you get something extra special if you make it yourself, as opposed to buying it from someone? The quest giver hints at this fact.

Comment by Thottbot

Took me about 6 hours of killing Warlocks and their Voidwalkers at the top level of The Tower of Althalaxx in Darkshore before the pattern (Robes of Arcana) finally dropped. It was a very loooooong and frustrating day. Made good money though and got some nice drops and upgrades.

The top level of the tower is difficult to solo because sometimes you get more than two Warlocks and Voidwalkers at the same time. Some classes may have an easier time that others, but overall you will find it challenging. Specially if you are 32 or below. I brought a friend with me and it made all the difference in the world in terms of being able to kill w/out getting killed and friendly company to help pass the time.

55,25 - Darkshore (North..have a fun run from the Ashenvale-based Zoram'gar Outpost. I know I didn't)

Comment by Thottbot

coord are 56,26

Comment by Thottbot

Let me recount my experience.

I read all the comments here on thotbott and sure enough, the recipe drops in
-Darkshore, Kalimdor in the Tower of Althalaxx (56,26)
-The Yorgen Farmstead in Darkshire (48,76) or
-Darkshire, Addle's Stead (21,27).

I started out farming at half past midnight on my lvl 60 warlock, and 3 hours later with a lot of time waiting for mobs to spawn I got impatient.

Then I moved my lvl 39 mage to darkshire and farmed the 3 defias enchanters there too for good measure.

By this time, I conjured up a plan to log on the mage, aoe everything, log on my lock, curse of agony all the mobs in the tower while letting my felhunter lap up the rest. And now it is 5.30am, when I finally got a mob in darkshore in the tower to drop it.

It might be useful for you to just park three characters if you have them, one at the Yorgen farmstead (48,76), one at the Addle's Stead (21,27), and one in the Tower of Althalaxx (56,26) and just log in each to kill all mobs, move on. That's 3x as fast if all your characters are at a decent level to quickly kill all the mobs. And hey, no need to wait for them to respawn ;)

BTW, if you want this crafted, send a whisper and a tip to bellanna (Alliance) on EU-Turalyon :)

Comment by Thottbot

After reading all the messages about how hard the robes of arcana pattern was to get...i just asked on the trade channel on my server. A high level warlock who had the pattern made it for me with my mats and a 50s tip. It was listed at 5g at AH.This was so much easier. So just ask around and hopefully some high level whose already done it may have mercy on you like they did me. And thank goodness they did!

Mats needed are:
2 Spider's Silk
4 Bolts silk cloth
2 fine thread

Comment by Thottbot

I went to The Yorgen Farmstead in Darkshire (48,76), Was there for less then 5 mins and got the pattern. I just killed one of the delfia enchanters and got the drop.

Im on crushridge server (Alliance) so if needed I can make bring mats

Comment by Thottbot

As you might expect, your mileage may vary. Rare random drops are just that - rare, so it will probably be a long grind. But they are random, so you may get lucky. I followed the advice above, and got the recipe with a lot of patience and stubbornness. As a level 31 undead warlock, ran up to Duskwood from Booty Bay with the voidwalker and a level 31 priest. One level 40 gorilla took out the voidwalker instead of us, letting us run most of the rest of the way up, and I escaped another gorilla only by sacrificing another voidwalker and running after it killed my companion. Waited for the (soulstoned) priest to res, and we had no more trouble getting through Stranglethorn. If I'd been thinking, would have taken a zeppelin to Grom'Gol and had a much shorter run.

Luckily, I'd played Duskwood as Alliance, and knew my way around. Still, had no map as Horde, and accidentally went to Addle's Stead, which is a longer walk than the Yorgen farm. Addle's Stead would be closer if you swim up from Grom'Gol and came through Westfall, though. Then we spent several hours going back and forth between the house and the barn killing enchanters and all the guards with them over and over and over. It took one death before we figured out how to deal with the crowd in the barn without dying. Then it got very tedious as we got into a pattern. Barn. House. Barn. House. We made a gold each just grinding, and there were a lot of green drops and one blue, plus chests, but no recipe after 3 hours. At that point, my (very patient!) friend was too bored to take it anymore and left.

I stayed because it was so much trouble getting to Duskwood as Horde. I died once taking on the crowd in the barn, but there is a safe place to res in the corner of the fields about halfway between the barn and the farmhouse, so I ran there when I was obviously about to die. Kept up the grind, using succubus, who was useful for crowd control and who does good damage to the Defias at this level. Just when I was about to give up and go to bed, probably getting close to 4 hours in, I cleared the 2 guards and 2 enchanters outside the farmhouse, and the second enchanter I looted had the recipe.

I didn't find there was a lot of down time, as one person wrote - certainly not much more than I needed to regenerate mana. Also, unlike what someone wrote, they didn't always all spawn together in the barn, but usually by the time we could get in there, it was a crowd. We mostly got 2 enchanters with 2 guards at once at the house, then over to the barn and kill guards outside, then pull out another couple enchanters and I think 4 guards. It was too hectic to count - they may only be level 20something, but taking on 4 or 6 or 8 at once (adds outside the barn, but we both prefer open spaces for fighting) isn't trivial at level 31. Even with 2 of us, there were a couple deaths over a few hours, and I went through health and mana potions to survive the barn fights.

The reward is nice if you have the patience for a really tedious grind of the same small spot over and over and over. Otherwise, it's probably worth the few gold at auction. In terms of fun, the best part was just getting to Duskwood as Horde. If you're a tailor, it may be a good moneymaker - if you get the drop. Robes were going for 2-5 gold on my server, though I don't know if people were buying them.

Comment by Thottbot

I am on the Maive Server, My main character�s name is Nafil. If you need this and do not feel like looking for it.. Let me know� I am going to use Blankgm�s pricing guide .

Regent Count Cost Ea
Silk - 32 - 1s 50c
Fine Thread - 4 - 1s
Spider Silk - 4 - 1g

So, for example if you show up with nothing and want a robe it will cost you 4g 52s. If you show up with enough materials for one robe it will cost you 2g 26s. If you show up with all the materials for two robes it will cost you nothing. All forms of combinations can be calculated using the info above.

If I am not on line.. Please just send me an in game e-mail.

I did this quest as hord in darkshore, i had to do tower over three times but i got it:)
i asked for coords before, for darkshore tower, they're:(56,26)

Comment by Thottbot

Darkshore around 56,27 is the tower. I found the pattern after about an hour on a voidcaller.

Comment by Thottbot

Well, as a level 32 lock I went into this quest without expecting to do near the ammount of work I had to for completion. I found the pattern on a voidcaller in the tower of whatever in darkshore after about 1 hour, then spent the next couple hours running VC for cloth to get my tailoring up to 150. After spending about 20 gold in training/AH I can craft the damned Robes of the Arcana (which look pretty sweet with the hood I found along the way). If you need these robes on Smolderthorn/Alliance send me a tell or mail.

... and accept the quest, and then complete the hand in, you'll be naked. As I've just found out ;p I really should have thought that through.

Comment by Thottbot

where is the place that i have to go?

Comment by Thottbot

Get the quest from Menara Voidrender in front of the warlock tower at ratchet (The Barrens), just behind the observatory.

This post assumes your lvl is around 31-36

Prices for the robe at the AH can be very different from server to server, and higher price I ever saw was 15g (a rip-off).
But if you want to farm for the pattern, there are some places, all of them are alliance territory, however.
Both Yorgen Farmstead and Addle's Stead are at Duskwood, Eastern Kingdoms. These are side by side with the road to STV and the ogre mound between them, you can keep killing defias enchanters at one of them and move to the other field, by the time you are done clearing one area, the other is probably filled with respawns again. These are easier but the drop rate is also lower.
At the northern part of Darkshore, Kalimdor there's the Tower of Althalaxx, with some warlocks who can also drop the pattern, but at level 31-32, they hit hard with shadowbolt and have a voidwalker pet. In both cases, the drop rate is low, but it's worthy if you want to sell the robes to other warlocks after that.

The robe requires 2 Fine thread, wich is sold by any <Tailoring Supplies> vendor, 4 Bolts of Silk Cloth (16 Silk Cloth to make, wich drops from. SM is full of it but if you don't want to find a group, you can farm humanoid and/or undead mobs around your lvl until you get it) and 2 spider's silk, wich drops from spiders around your lvl. You also need 150 tailoring skill to craft your robe.
After you're done, just go back to Ratchet and move to the next step of the quest.

Comment by Thottbot

Well I'm a 32 warlock and i'm tryng to reach 12g to buy that robe from the ah.But at the end when all steps are done u recive a robe what does it give? armor/int etc... pls tell me so i know what i'm working for :D

Comment by Thottbot

You can hunt in the above mentioned places, or perhaps message some people in the Trade or City general chat, and hope a kind soul will make one for you. If you have the mats, then all the better.

I hunted for 1 hour at the Darkshore place (inside the tower). No luck.

Comment by Thottbot

Pattern dropped on the second enchanter I killed at Addle´s Stead. Dunno if they've nerfed the quest or I'm just pursued by sheer dumb luck.

Comment by Thottbot

Well, my little warlock and her succubus started grinding for the pattern to drop. I only tried grinding in the Tower of Althalaxx in Darkshore, as https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=5773/pattern-robes-of-arcana said it would have a slightly higher droprate there, then in Duskwood.

I started out grinding being lvl 32, and unrested, when I had ran the tower up and down, killing everything, for about close to 5 hours, I was suddenly lvl 34. Then I gave up, took HS and bought it of AH for 15G. Completeted the questline, and got a robe I will not use. Since my warlock is a tailor, I find that the BoP Robe of Power, that I made myself, is better and looks alot better then the robe you get as a questreward here.

Robe of Power: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=7054/robe-of-power
Enchanted Gold Bloodrobe: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=6900/enchanted-gold-bloodrobe

Even if the EGB has alot of stamina and intellect, I find that my lock do not need that more then I need +DMG. Playing as affliction, Siphon Life and Drain Life, combined with Life Tap, I almost never need a bigger healtpool or more mana. The +DMG on Robe of Power makes the mobs drop quicker, and therefor I will continue to use it. And also again, my little gnome looks alot cuter in Robe of Power then in EGB.

WOW i was so lucky .. i was in stormwind and just asked can anyone make me the robes of arcana.. and some lovely Warlock just gave me the robe! i think it was my lucky day!

Comment by Allakhazam

Will make for you if your on Kel Thuzad server:

Need to supply own materials:

16 silk

2 spider's silk

2 fine thread

1 gold(currency) for time

Mail to Leviathon

I will make in a timely manner and ship back to you asap.

(By the way, I have no problem telling people where the drop is, but good luck trying for it, I've heard only 3 people have the pattern on the Kel'thuzad server...one of them me.)

There's 2 areas:

1. Darkshore tower, alliance territory, off of the void callers

2. Dire Enchanters in Duskwood...also alliance, good luck in that area!

Is the robe worth it? Well, the quest gives out like 6-8000 xp total, and the robe is killer!

After some farming i finally got the pattern, whisper Vrebor on EU Skullcrusher, Horde side if you need it.

Strategy for Darkshore

1 - Clear entrance to Tower
2 - Summon Fel Hunter(With Spell Lock)and set passive
3 - Cast Armor on self
4 - Wait for roaming Voidcaller to cross doorway(if u want use Eye of Killrog to get target on roamer)and instantly pull from outside using wand
5 - Cast Banish on the NPC's Voidwalker
6 - Target Voidcaller
6 - Cast Corruption, Imolate, and Curse of Tongues on the Warlock NPC
7 - Use Wand shoot until Corruption and Immolate wear off(if battle even lasts that long and make sure that you are still outside)
8 - Drain Soul or Life until dead then finish off voidwalker
9 - Next Kill warlock on ground floor in tower make sure to pull him outside and repeat above steps
10 - Move up left stairs and take out next warlock then go back down and move up right stairs and clear out next NPC

From there should be cake(even though I know it seems complicated) Be sure to summon a soulstone and cast rez on yourself.

I need one Robes of Arcana asap Sunstrider EU server Horde side /w me Bael

Comment by Allakhazam

Ok this was very easy to get the pattern for, i did it solo at lvl 36 and did not die and i cleared the tower about 12 times before i got it (hope your luck is better then mine was ). First off teh tower you are looking for in darkshore is called tower of altharaxx located at 56,27. If you dont have a way of finding locations then its northeast just stay on the road and its after bashal'aran on the right. There is only the voidcaller's inside this tower with the exception of one night elf guy at the top, hes like 31 or 32 all the voidcallers were 29. There is a bunch of lvl 22 mobs outside the tower so if you get in trouble and run out be carfull. From the other post i have read here is where people failed, DO NOT USE A MEELE PET! when you attack tehm with a melee pet they will run around and try and get away from it agroing alot of the tower. Use your imp pet or set your pet to passive and dont use it. Banish there pet first then switch to the caster and kill it, i would just dot it up then drain tehre life or mana whichever i needed more of at the time then when banish wears off kill the pet. Watch for the wandering mobs tehre is quite a few that wander and they can be difficult when they gang up. Also the respawn time is fairly quick and i noticed at the top lvl the night elf guy spawns really fast and tehre is 4 VC's at the top and they will not nessicarly respawn in teh same order you killed them. I havnt exactly figured that part out but this is how to get it. Good luck all!

Comment by Allakhazam

The pattern can be located from killing Defias Enchanters in Duskwood at 49.77. I got mine after the second kill. The pattern requires 4 bolts of silks, 2 spider's silk and 2 fine thread. It requires 150 tailoring experience.

Comment by Allakhazam

Where did it drop? I love how they say a tailor can make it, you look in you're list and nada. No clue on where to even begin to hunt for this recipe drop.

Anyone point a fellow warlock in the right direction? Thanks.

Comment by Allakhazam

The pattern does still indeed drop off the Defias Enchanters in Duskwood. If you are a Tailor (150) who wants to farm it, go for the Yorgen Farmstead as you generally have lv 20-24 Defias Rouges well spaced. Its more easy to deal with them here thanks to the open space. The Tower can get claustrophobic at times.

I got lucky and got it on the first one I tagged. I am told results may vary.

If you don't have tailoring and are on Dragonblight, send a tell to Perplex. If you have the mats & a tip, I can make you some robes for a lot less than AH cost.

Comment by Allakhazam

Anyone have a pick of what the final robe is like and the stats?

Comment by Allakhazam

dont wast ur time goin to the crappy tower its no good for a start respawns happen in like 5 sec and thee drop rate on the robe is awful ur better off spending money on it or getting mats cos there is no point in bein ambushed every 5 seconds in that tower!

Comment by Allakhazam

You can farm the spider silk pretty easy from the creepers just south of hammerfall

Comment by Allakhazam

The pattern did drop at the Tower of Althalaxx. It took about 4 hours of gameplay and in the process the lvl 31 elf continually dropped a journal that I couldn't read as a horder player. One of the summoners on the top level actually dropped the pattern, not the lvl 31 elf.

Comment by Allakhazam

I am lucky enough to have someone within my guild make it for me. all I need to do is supply mats. Anyone know where i farm the spiders silk?

Duskwood at the farm they still drop. I spent an hour or so and got nothing, took a couple of days off from the aggravation, went back this morning and after the 4th kill the pattern dropped. Farm is not bad, 25-26, they drop coin, and a few other nice drops that can be put up for auction if you can't use them.

If anyone needs the robe I am on Fenris. Send me mail (Anthela) and I will make it for 1g.

I need one asap Sunstrider EU server Horde side /w me Bael

Comment by Allakhazam

is there a place to buy it from a merchant or do you have to have someone make it for you?

Comment by Allakhazam

Anyone knows if Menara would still accept soulbound Robe of Arcana? I just bought it but I'm still lv22. Is it safe to wear it or must I keep it unbound before handing it to him?

Comment by Allakhazam

I finally got the pattern after searching 2 days off defias enchanters in Duskwood. I refused to pay 5g for the robe, but then it is kinda worth it since it seems such a pain to find the pattern and spider's silk. BUT if anybody needs the robe for their quest I will sure make them one free with their mats. Good luck in your spider silk search though...the pattern was a cake walk compared to the spider silk lol.

Oh forgot: Main is Taelira (Horde) on Hellscream. My tailor is Taeren. If you see I'm on and you need me to make one, dont send a tell cuz I turn those off due to gold sellers, but I pay attention to general and trade chats. Or you can send me a snail mail message. Hope I can help you 8)

Literally took like 6 hours but I finally had it drop.

Very cool looking robes.

Comment by Allakhazam

If you need a "robe of arcana" on Bronzebeard (for the alliance) give Lori or Daljit a whisper.

Comment by Allakhazam

Pattern dropped off first caster inside Tower of Althalaxx. Took a whopping 5 minutes.

Go ahead and drop off the coast into the water while your in the area and swim up the coast till you reach Moonglade, drown, res, and get the Horde or Alliance FP in Moonglade if you don't already have.

Found the pattern for this in Duskwood(Allaince TERR), I am Skellie Warlock so if ya need a robe for horde warlocks on Silvermoon Realm send me a tell or mail in Game. Character name is Flatlined. Be glad to make ya one if i have supplies, or if you have em will cost ya less. Need 16 silk, 2 spider silk, and 2 fine thread.

Comment by Allakhazam

If i feel like wasting my life away sometime, what lvl are the NPCs in darkshore tower and any guards etc that might be patrolling the local area.I play a lot, so a few days of searching for the plans is pretty routine.

Comment by Allakhazam

Anyone on Tortheldrin that wants it made message Vandene. If you provide mats i'll make it for free or you can give me 1 g 75s and i'll do all of it.

Comment by Allakhazam

do yourself a favor and skip this quest, my level 34 lock has the Robes of Arugal, i got it from SFK and if you can acquire this quest you are better off goin to SFK, killing Arugal and taking his robes....trust me 46 armor, and i forget which enchants, but its better, while this robe only has 43 armor...so yeah im done ranting

Comment by Allakhazam

if you can get the pattern, do the quest. if you can buy the robe fairly cheaply, go ahead.

but before you spend too much time and money on this quest, i have to tell you, by the time you hit level 40, you will be getting drops with better stats.

so consider that before spending too much time or money trying to complete this series of quests. by the time you hit level 50, you will not be wearing any of it.

Comment by Allakhazam

Skip this quest. AH price is 55 gold for the Robes of Arcana. There is better armor available much cheaper and many more quest. I refuse to complete a quest that creates such extortion. Who at lvl 34 has 55 Gold?

Comment by Jensis

This is a long chain that gives you Enchanted Gold Bloodrobe as a reward.

Long story short, it's probably not worth the effort. You have to buy or craft a somewhat obscure tailoring item (recipe only drops at certain spots in Alliance zones), then travel between Desolace, STV, and Arathi collecting items. Some of the mobs are higher level than the quest and immune to fire, which makes it more annoying. And some of the mobs are heavily farmed (IE the Arathi elementals), so it can be very tough to complete at the appropriate level.

There might have been a time when this was worth doing, but it has passed. The only real use I could see would be level 30 bracket PvP. Get Robe of Power instead.

Components for the Enchanted Gold Bloodrobe

Bring Robes of the Arcana to Menara Voidrender in the Barrens.

	Robes of Arcana (1)

Description

The first item I will aid you in creating is a robe. You will gather the items for me, and we will put them together. Afterwards, assuming you succeed, you will have the first of many items that will make you more powerful and aid you in your struggles.

To start, you must have crafted Robes of Arcana. A tailor can make this for you, or perhaps you can purchase one from someone else--I'd be most impressed if you could make it yourself--but regardless, bring me the robes, and we shall go from there.
