I got 20800 Reputation at the end of the test. I guess there weren't joking about 'joining' the Argent Dawn.

Use the Scroll in the center of the last chamber of the crypt
You will get a buff that helps you defeat waves of mobs
The event lasts roughly 2 mins

Comment by Mormolyce

So yeah... if you're after Argent Dawn rep, this quest actually makes all the rep you get up to this point a waste of time. So make sure you do this quest ASAP.

Comment by 342582

Got 24960 rep as a human (10% extra rep) with 2 ranks in Mr. popularity (Another 10% extra rep). 20800 is probably the standard amount of rep you get, as 20% more of that is 24960 rep. (20800x1.2= 24960). Which means the bonuses are cumulative too.

Doing this with Mr. Popularity is recommended as rank 2 gives you 2080 extra rep (rank 1 should give you 1040 extra rep) no matter what.

Comment by 311320

the entrance is at 77.50.Go downstairs and use provided item then 8-10 mobs spawn.

Comment by 831198

Reputation with Argent Dawn increased by 22880. =)

Comment by gajackson

July 2013: I don't know if it was ever discovered, but when I had the 2 Pallys buffing me, and qould queue for BGs? The buffs they would apply would be on both me AND my pet (DK Ghoul, in my case - but guessing same for warlock & hunter pets) - and these would persist into BGs. I'm guessing you could wait until a BG pops, dismiss pet, resummon, grab the buffs (they auto-apply)(or used to, anyway), and enter the BG.

If I find time, I'll try to see if that still 'works'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No one mentioned this above, but a useful tip:

Tarenir and Gidwin, being good pally types, will throw out 2 auras and 2 blessings to anyone/everyone in the party. For me, it was devotion, ret, might and kings. If you are a pally, or there is another, they may have more available.

Why am I mentioning this? 2 reasons:

1) They buffed my ghoul. And after the 5 minutes, re-buffed him again. I would guess it would be the same for both hunter & warlock pets.

2) after the crypt, I decided to take them for a 'stroll' before turning it in. First, out the camp. Then over to browman's hill, and then into the noxious glade. they NEVER left/evaded. With my ghoul, they took out a rare and an elite 45 without much help on my part. I don't know what their range is, but you could find lots of spots, I'm sure.

Sooooo, if you are 39/low 40s, and looking for fast exp, do this. Take the caravan +2% exp buff, and happy grinding :) It is VERY similar to the 3 dwarves you can grab in badlands for Rhea's questline!

The big rep reward is gone. I only got 660 points for completion. It wasn't even enough to get me out of friendly.

Comment by 143816

I just finished this quest on my lvl 42 rogue, and I got 20800 rep in reward and got instantly revered.

Comment by Keristrasza

With guild perk I was given 22,880 rep! I was shocked. I was expecting a REALLY long grind.

Comment by 575154

I do not know if anyone else has had this problem, but if something goes horribly wrong and you die when trying this the first time, Gidwin and Terenar do not respawn to help after you resurrect. I tried abandoning the quest and re-accepting it, as well as running out of Light's Hope and back in, but nothing worked.

As a side note, if this happens to you as a Rogue, you can solo it anyway by keeping Recuperate up on the beginning mobs, vanishing when George comes out, and then just alternate Hemorage/Gouge stuns and Kidney shot stuns until he is dead. Works better for Sub Rogues since they can premeditate and get the ambush bonus.

Comment by Moleculor

If you're doing this at a high level and decide to be lazy and let the two spawned NPCs take care of doing all the fighting (say you go AFK or something), they'll handle it fine, but if you don't deal damage to the last guy you fight (Lord Raymond George), you don't get credit for the quest and have to reuse the scroll given to you at the start.

tl;dr: Do damage to the last guy you fight for credit.

For me if you log back out and log back in then go to the chappel they respawn. Its to hard without them at level 42 for me anyway. Hope this helps somone lol, was quite frustrating when they wouldnt respawn.

Comment by BigZZZ

You cant abandon this quest and retry it, for massive xp, because it sends you to min revered rep, it doesn't defaultly give 20800rep :P

Trial and error as a Level 100 Warlock. I hate killing myself and taking off my armor, so I'm always looking for ways to do these quests with a minimum of fuss. This one needs to be reprogrammed.

Here's what doesn't work:

1. The first time I used Conflagrate to burn down Lord Raymond George in one shot when he became an active target. This does not work. Godwin and Tarenar must participate in order for you to get credit.
2. This was covered in another comment, but you cannot let Godwin and Tarenar kill him. You have to hit him at least once. What wasn't mentioned is that they will one-shot George if you do nothing.

This is what worked for me: Just before Lord George became active, I toggled Shadowfury (an instant stun attack) and hit him just before Godwin and Tarenar hit him. He died in one shot and I got the credit.

YMMV, but this is what worked for me. Stuns and Fears seem to count as damage.

Comment by Dekes

The Crypt is now a Sanctuary. Inside has changed to two floors. I can't complete the quest since there's no NPC inside.

Nevermind. The videos showed differently. I completed the quest.

Comment by sailorvivi

I don't know why but when I attempt this quest with my frost mage the guards inside stun me and say I do not belong there, and teleport me outside the tower. How can I finish this quest?

Comment by Tgrbnny

So my questing addon kept telling me to go all the way to the side of the room to read the scroll, and it wouldn't let me do use the quest item when I got there. Don't pay attention to your arrow, if you've got one, too!

Simply go down to the lowest floor, stand in the middle of that room, hit the quest item and ta-da! Happy questing! :)

Comment by mikochu

I couldn't find the right spot for the life of me. I thought the quest was broken, which wouldn't be surprising....but there was a level I couldn't see. If you get stuck like me, go into one of those rooms on the left or right of the stairs and turn around until you find another opening, go through that and you'll find more stairs down. It can be easy to miss!

Comment by SpFxAnimator

Tarenar Sunstrike died while fighting Lord Raymond George and did not respawn. I was unsure as to whether his fate was to die during the trial or if I had made a mistake, however Tarenar having died and not respawned, was still recognized for passing the trial by Lord Maxwell Tyrosus upon returning to the chapel.

If one or both of the paladins die during your fight do not worry. They still receive recognition for their ability to overcome the challenge.

Comment by margalitkaufman

Coords in the crypt are 77.74 51.26 .

Comment by xLunacyx

I tried abandoning the quest and doing it again to see if I get more reputation, you don't, you just go straight to 0/21000 revered.

Comment by Sarthorius

Just a notice about the 'questline to do for Fiona untill you reach Tyrosus part'... You actually can skip the entire Darrowshire part starting with Little Pamela and ending in Hidden Treasures, 10 quests you'd waste your time, if what your intention is to get to Tyrosus and his whooping Rep Quest for the Argent Dawn reputation (to hit 0/21000 Revered instantly).

Took me ~20 minutes with the 'skip', instead of another ~20 minutes or less in that particular part.
