To scout the Spire of Blood, go to the top floor of the spire.

Comment by 194329

Did that misstake to equip before, it did not work!

Comment by Guadah

Temple City of En'kilah Entrance: 84.00 : 31.50

Spire of Blood: 88.05 : 20.88
Spire of Decay: 83.97 : 20.77
Spire of Pain: 89.00 : 28.59

NOTES:
Spire of Blood requires you to go up, into the building. When you are walking up the Spire, you will come to a doorway that leads down, with two staircases leading up to either side. Go up either way and then into the upper level of the building to receive credit.

Spire of Decay & Spire of Pain require you to go into the building. Just go straight in.

You can mount up or shapeshift while wearing the shroud, and still remain invisible to enemies.

Comment by 64646

Or you can just mount.

Comment by Mindhead

sindce today you can also wear the cape before you enter, then its fairly easy to do it... all mobs disappear except the big trolls... wich are lvl 71 and easy to take out

Comment by cawfee

Note that rogues can still stealth & distract the Abominations while wearing the cloak (it phases you), to make matters even easier. Mounting is also possible without calling extra attention to yourself.

Comment by Chrizz

Tip: if you equipped your back at the village. just re equip the back.

or u wont scout the spire's.

You have to see a blurry blue environment . Once u have been attacked you will see normal again. Re-equip the back again and you can scout again.

Very funny quest

Comment by rzzr

Be careful about putting on the cape before you enter the tunnel as it probably won't work. You can tell if the cape is working because your screen goes a sort of misty blue.

Hunters CAN use aspects in this "form"

Comment by ntuysliu

lol, you must equip the cloak after you step in the temple city zone. Otherwise you won't get credit for completing though you are in the right place.

Comment by ryan058

my cloak isnt working i put it on i get blurry and the aboms and other scourge still see me.

Comment by Black2lip

For the Spire of Blood you need to be on the first floor, not like the other Spires where you could walk straight in and get the objective done.

Comment by 166711

You must reequip the shroud in order to receive the effect again.

I didn't realize it was a equipped item at first, so I was left searching through my bags for it.

Comment by 84777

If you have a combat pet summoned, I suggest you dismiss it, as it's not covered by the shroud. It's pretty annoying to be tagget "in combat" without any enemies around you! Not to mention that you can't mount!

Comment by 257474

You can do everything you can do in "normal" which means, cast spells, mount and what ever you want to do.

Comment by 274087

After you put the cloak on, you no longer see the scourge (except for Abominations). You also do not seem to see characters from the opposing faction. Not sure about other players of the same faction -- didn't try it. If anyone else can add confirmation, that would be better.

Comment by 460422

i think my quest is bugged, because when I wear the cloak.. it dosn't do anything.. :s
i just can't do the quest --'

Comment by Kiwiblue

I ran into an issues doing this quest. You have to be not on a flying mount and in the city when you equip the cloak and stay dismounted until you get the objective complete message. If you fly into the Spire and then equip you will not get credit. If your on a flying mount in the city and equip your cloak then fly into the spire you will not get credit. Took me a little bit to figure that out but.

Comment by akafortes

It reminds me of Lord of the Rings,when Frodo puts on the Ring and can only see the 9 human kings and they can see him :)

Comment by 574670

Completed this quest today as 73 Rogue with cold weather flying manual from main, was able to equip whilst mounted and fly into each area to get the "scout" part of quest, also got 8000XP simply from discovering Temple City and then each spire, with the 24,360 XP from the quest (Heirloom bonus). For a sub 1 minute quest this is some good going.

Comment by Sh4ad0wPriest

I got to the first area, not knowing I had to use the costume. So once I realized that, I used it. I didn't know that the abominations could still attack me. After I killed him, I could not find the costume anywhere. I could not get another from quest giver. I abandoned and restarted to get a new one. On my way to the last one I had to walk up some stairs with an abomination on each side. One of them got me, and again I lost it. So, I am now on my way to do it for the third time. So, just remember, don't get attacked.

Comment by 274984

I myself thought this quest was bugged, as I couldn't get credit for scouting the Spire of Blood, however you need to scout the top room, and not the bottom room of the Spire of Blood in order to get credit.
Also fellow hunters, with the ability to use flying mounts in northrend at lvl 68, your pet WILL NOT be dismissed for you if you put on this cloak while you're on your flying mount. I learned the hard way, and my pet was being attacked by random invisible mobs, which made trying to mount up while being stuck in combat quite annoying.
Hope this helps!

Comment by 803475

To scout the spire of blood go to the second floor on the side of the temple.

Comment by 611135

Fly into the city, land on the top of one of the buildings, put on disguise and mount up. You keep the disguise on while flying. Much faster than walking.

Comment by 938258

I found this pretty frustrating, as I experienced a glitch. I scouted the Spire of Decay just fine, but I ran in to an "invisible" mob in the Spire of Blood. It kept me in combat the entire time, never took damage from me, but every now and then my ghoul (I'm an Unholy DK) would randomly take damage (also note that my ghoul, who was not on Passive, was not attacking anything, so it didn't detect the mob either). It was pretty irritating to me as the entire point of the shroud was to avoid the mobs inside the spires. I couldn't mount and fly to the next spire or anything. It kept me in combat until I got into Transborea (of course, I had to kill both of the Abominations guarding En'Kilah). I know it wasn't an Abomination or anything I ran into as you can still see the red names, which I avoided. Like I said, the mob was entirely invisible, I even waited around for it a bit.

Comment by Daralyn

there is possible bug here, but can't confirm myself

when you finish quest and go back to village you get credit, but Chieftain talk about you confirming some lieutenants in the spires, but once I put on cloak during quest, spires were completely empty, only abominations remained

Blending In

Chieftain Wintergale at Taunka'le Village wants you to wear the Imbued Scourge Shroud in the Temple City of En'kilah and scout the Spire of Blood, the Spire of Pain, and the Spire of Decay.

	Spire of Decay Scouted (1)
	Spire of Blood Scouted (1)
	Spire of Pain Scouted (1)

Provided item:

	Imbued Scourge Shroud (1)

Description

Sage Aeire has finished the shroud. Take it with you and travel to the Temple City of En'kilah. Don the cloak within the city's bounds to hide yourself from most of the Scourge there. This will be our best opportunity to gather information about the enemy's fortifications and leaders.

While wearing the cloak, scout the three large spires on the grounds of the city. While the shroud will shield you from most of the Scourge, the En'kilah abominations will be able to find you if you get too close.
