Quest Log

Altruis

Altruis is a quest for level 25-30 in Nagrand. It is step 104 of 147 in the Shadowmoon Valley storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Nagrand at 27.3, 43.1. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 2,050 experience.

Description

It is rare in this day and age to hear of those who follow the path of the demon hunter. It is rarer still to find someone who does and has no allegiance to Illidan.

There are rumors of one such individual here in Outland. One name is said to be feared in the Legion fields of Nagrand more than any army of Aldor vindicators. That name is Altruis.

Go to western Nagrand and find him. He might be willing to shed some light on these new demon hunter training grounds.

This is part of the Aldor version of the Book of Fel Names chain. As well as reputation with your chosen faction, if you complete it you can choose from:
Ceremonial Kris (+heal dagger)
Slayer's Axe (2H +str axe)
Sunfury Legguards (+AP mail pants)
Hauberk of Karabor (+AP leather chest)
Summoner's Blade (+dmg sword)
Wildcaller (feral staff)

As with the Medallion of Karabor line, this chain starts different depending on whether you're Aldor (A) or Scryer (S). All the quests are rated level 70 - though the chain is available at level 68, it sends you to the Shadow Labyrinth to kill Blackheart, which you might want to hold off on until level 70.

Aldors pick it up from Exarch Onaala at the Altar of Sha'tar:
1. (A) Karabor Training Grounds
2. (A) A Necessary Distraction
3. (A) Altruis

Scryers need to visit Larissa Sunstrike at the Sanctum of the Stars:
1. (S) Karabor Training Grounds
2. (S) A Necessary Distraction
3. (S) Altruis

Here the chains converge on your old friend Altruis the Sufferer in Nagrand. He gives out three quests that need to be completed (in any order) before you can continue:
4a. Against the Legion - Netherstorm
4b. Against the Illidari - Shadowmoon Valley
4c. Against All Odds - Zangarmarsh
Having gone around the world killing stuff, you can now return to Altruis and receive:
5. Illidan's Pupil
which leads directly into
6. The Book of Fel Names

Now it's time for a venture into the Shadow Labyrinth to kill Blackheart! Once that's done that and his body has been looted for the book, it's back to Altruis where again the chains diverge depending on your allegiance.

Aldor:
7. (A) Return to the Aldor - back to Altar of Sha'tar
8. (A) Varedis Must Be Stopped

Scryer:
7. (S) Return to the Scryers - back to Sanctum of Stars
8. (S) Varedis Must Be Stopped

Varedis Must Be Stopped is the final part. It's a 5-man group quest that sends you to the terrace outside the Black Temple to kill four elites: Varedis, Netharel, Theras and Alandien. Look them up for co-ordinates and tips on killing them - they're pretty straightforward, really.

When they're dead it's a simple matter of returning to the questgiver to choose a prize.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Necessary DistractionShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    The weapons are authentic, as we feared. Illidan is training demon hunters at the Ruins of Karabor and we must put an end to it. Do not be fooled by their name, <name>, their power will be used against us as often as against any demon.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Karabor Training GroundsShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    Our scouts have reported a massive influx of Sunfury blood elf recruits heading to the Ruins of Karabor. Normally this would represent a purely military threat, however we believe something else is amiss.
