I completed this solo as a 16 priest.

The book is in the inn-like building, in right-hand room on the second floor. It is guarded by a 16 elite.

I went in the gate, the around behind the buildings to the left, and into the inn. I was able to pull single mobs the whole way.

Not too bad.

This journal is found at 43,73

There is a back way to get to the inn. There is a break at 47,75

Once you reach the inn there are people inside ranging from 14-16 Elites.

Once you reach the bookshelf , Berard will be standing next to it ( Lvl 16 Elite )

Hope this helps.

@angelFlonne

I am lvl 18 ShadowPriest now and I have to tell you that I really doubt you soloing this quest hence I really had a hard time killing those lvl 14 elites. There was no way in heaven I could take the last elite guarding the book shelf but I advise everyone at this lvl with fear to clear the room before Berard and then once in a fight with Berard to just fear him and loot the book shelf. Then bubble and use your hearthstone or die and rezz at spirit healer or else.

Besides this everything else was correct. The room with the quest object is indeed 2nd floor right-hand room. Actually you can pass the 2 elites in the other rooms without aggroing.

Solo'd as a 16 rogue.

Took a health pot and evasion

Solo'd as a 17 rouge.

Just go stealth and haul ass down to the last building staright down. It looks like one of the buildings in Brill on the inside. sap the last mob upstairs next to the book case and your good to go stealth back to leave the place .... very easy.

Kommentar von Gann1

Soloed as a 15 mage.

Ran into Berard's room, died, came back, sheeped him, and looted the book.

Kommentar von 60666

Solo'd as a 16 Lock. Use the side entrance break in the fence and sneek behind the buildings till you get to the inn, and you don't have to fight anything until the front of the inn.

Kommentar von 65960

Ran around to left along outside fence till I found inn, bubbled and ran up stairs till I was in Berard's room. Was killed just then, so dead, ran back into his room. Rez'd, bubbled, lesser healed, than hit him with wand. Had to flash heal and lesser heal, keeping my HB ahead of his, wanded him down. As he got down to 10%, used some slumber sand from some Brill quest to put him to sleep. It wore off just after I got book, so I died and rez'd at cemetary. Hey, I had the book!... :D

As lvl 22 BE priest, using wand from Beren's Peril quest.

Kommentar von 71070

Exactly 42,73 , placed in library , in the inn, on 2 floor.
The room with Apothecary Berrars ( thats the name of the guy inthere :)

Kommentar von Kattla

I did it like this as a lvl 16 mage: to the left of the entrance of the village stands a hill i jumped from the hill up on the wall then to the nearest house and then i roof jumped all the way to the inn. Ran in died ressed in Berards room spam sheeped him (i aggroed a sentry when was i was taking the book so i had to frost nova him) ran back the same way on the roof ressed and jump over the wall and ran home.
(at the third house the town hall or something u gotta go to the left and run on the wall abit)

Kommentar von 95662

i ve just managed to solo this with my alt, a female prist 19lvl.As kattla said above(nice description btw :)..thnx..)there's a hill outside village.From hill jumped to the fence and consequently to the nearest roof.After 2 roof-walkings i reached a high building and donw again nearby the fence which i followed until i got behind the house i had to go into(koords are 43,79,in 2nd floor,2nd room to the right of stairs).There i used power word shield to manage get into the house without get killed by the 15lvl elite guard.Actually using psychotic scream(priest's fear),i managed to have my corpse exactly in front of the library with journal!!!...I res,feared the 2 guards(15&16elites),took journal,powered word shield again and renew so that i was able to die for 2nd time exactly in middle of stairs where i could res and teleported back to undercity in safe without agroing no1.As a priest i dont believe there's a better way to solo this.(dear angelflonne, i can't believe that u pulled only single mobs and thats why there arent any single mobs inside the hole village.Perhaps u confused).

Kommentar von mindphlux

After patch 2.3, this quest is no longer tagged as Group, making it look like Blizzard nerfed it as they did with many other former Group quests. Don't be mislead: the mobs are still Elite, so it's not exactly very solo friendly at the level you obtain it. For priests it't definitely possible at level 14 the way stasko1 described, but only if you are willing to die three or four times.

Kommentar von 28771

soloed as a 15 warlock, jumped down from sfk bridge, went to inn following the fence, used vw to help me get upper floor, died in front of the bookshelf, ressed, feared the mob and got the book...

Kommentar von 110240

ROGUES ---

This can be pretty easy and you dont actually need to kill anything to do it.

Stealth into the village and find the inn at around 43,73. Sneaking inside and up the stairs wont always be a problem (there was only two mobs in there when I went). Go into the third door from your left. Sap the guard (giving you about 20 seconds) and then run in to Berard's room. Slumber powder him and half inch (pinch) the journal.

Then peg it outside, dropping back to stealth if you can (evasion worked for me).

If you die after getting the book (I got stuck on the doorway and killed) then take your ghost round the back of the inn and resurect there. You can go into stealth mode again and sneak around the wall of the village to get out.

Kommentar von 110402

It's actually easier than that for us Rogues. If your about level 18 then it's just a case of walking into the room with the bookshelf in it, sapping the 16 elite guard, stealing the book, re stealthing and walking out. Oh and If you are around level 18 (Horde) you can pop into the town hall and do 'Pyrewood Ambush' - https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=452

Kommentar von Warlem

Solo'd this as a Level 16 Warlock, instead of fighting my way to the inn i found a place the i could jump on the fence just to the right of the entrance then i ran along all of the buildings. Once inside the inn i took 1 mob at a time with Voidwalker tanking, if the Voidwalker got low on health i would spam health funnel till the mob either ran or was dead. be careful not to pull more than one at a time, i pulled 2 on accident and was health funnel'ing my voidwalker the entire fight (i used 2 Lesser Healing Potions, 2 Bandages, and Cannibalize to stay alive and keep Health Funneling it). I used all DoTs and didnt bother with curses then just shadow bolt spammed until it was dead. dont bother drinking either...just Life Tap then use Drain Life while VW is tanking.

Kommentar von 113125

Solo'd as 18 mage. Unequipped my gear, ran into the inn. Corpse run of course, then sheeped the guard, took the journal. This certainly is NOT a regular level 15 quest.

Kommentar von NinjaPirateTaki

Soloed this with my level 18 UD shadow priest with no real trouble. I went up to the Pyrewood entrance, then followed the fence to the left, where I found the previously-mentioned break near the town hall. I then continued left (west), following the fence behind the buildings, to the end, where the inn is. The coordinates 43,73 are accurate. I pulled the two guards one at a time, then pulled the one mob near the inn door. The other two mobs on the ground floor did not aggro as I went upstairs. I was able to enter the right-hand room without aggroing the mobs in the other two rooms and killed the mob there before killing Berard. All single pulls, if you're careful. I relied heavily on sw:p, pw:s, and my wand to conserve mana in case of adds, which worked out well.

Kommentar von 105800

Directions if you want to fight the least:

At village entrance take a left. Hug the wall all the way to the back of the village. You'll come to a ledge, jump down. You'll come to big tree, maneuver around and keep going. You will hear the ocean when you get to the right place.

Go to the front of the lodging, kill what you need to get in. Enter, this should be an Inn with the sound of talking and dishes clanking. Kill to get to the stairs. Go up the stairs and take your first right. Kill Pyrewood Sentry in anter room. Keep going to back bedroom. Kill Apothecary Berard. Loot his bookshelf.

worst quest ever.

Kommentar von 81181

This is soloable by any class, just save your sleeping powder you get in brill for a quest and then take of all gear, die at house, res at Berard and use the powder, loot and hs. all easy

Kommentar von 136280

the people are no longer elite as of 2.4

Kommentar von 138837

Solo'd this at a lvl 17 Priest after patch 2.4. Pretty easy. I entered the compound, went left, and hugged the fence all the way to the inn. Pulled a few lvl 14 to 15 mobs (singles and pairs). Book is upstairs in the room to the right.

!Only for Rogue players!

I did this mission solo with a level 14 undead rogue, and I'll tell you how!
Make sure you have:
- stealth skill
- ranged weapon (I prefer crossbows)
- a decent weapon (the best is dualwield with two swords with minimum 8.5 DPS, I have two scimitars - bought from the armorer in Undercity for 34s80c)
- a few restoring potions in case you mess things up
The trick:
First activate stealth, then follow the wooden citywall behind the houses till you find the big inn-like house (look at the map), when you stand at the angle behind the house shoot the guard from a distance that blocks the way when he is alone (he will notice you if you go around him), kill him and restore sitting or taking a potion. When you are in full strength activate stealth again and walk into the house. You will have to go upstairs, but the guy in the center blocks the way and will not move! Jump from the table to the stairs and go up (make sure this is all done in stealth mode!). When you are upstairs the quest-room is behind you, BUT DO NOT GO IN THERE, first take out the guards in the other two rooms (stay in the room while you fight them) so they will not come help the boss. Then shoot from a distance the last guard to lure him to you and kill him. Restore in one of the rooms and enter Berards room. Now you can fight Berard without him getting helped by his annoying guards, when you kill him, he may give you a nice item. Take his journal and leave the house like you entered it (always in stealth mode). Leave the town and VOILA, mission accomplished!
Have fun!

Kommentar von 215071

was easy as a level 16 frost mage, jumped the fence just north of the gap in the fence, so that I could loot the chest first. Then I ran around the edge of town along the wall until I got to the end building, pulled all the mobs one by one, had to kill maybe 7 or so to get to the room with the book. All non-elites and none were hard kills.

Kommentar von yunusual

This quest counts for both the Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms and the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievements.

Kommentar von 343366

I Did this rather easy. I soloed with a 15 rouge. They are not elite. While I was there I also did the quest in the building to the left when first walking into the town. It gives a quite amount of xp. Anywho, back to A recipe for death, i stealthed around the right side of the building around the building and killed the guy to the left of the entrance. I stealthed again and the building has the inn format so i just stealthed up the stairs and only killed two things for the quest. you take the right and there will be a sentry and there he is. I just had to kill a 13 and 16 easy peasy.

Kommentar von soritong

I solo'd this as a level 15 priest.

I ran through town until I hit the Inn-like place where the book is. I ran up the stairs and ended up just dying there.

Rezzed my body on the stairs, no mobs nearby so I was able to heal and buff up. From there, just pick off the mobs one by one until you get to the book.

Kommentar von 103703

I did it as lvl 14 mage just went inside and killed everyone on the way 1 by one. Middle of the village (46,74) in one house you will find Deathstalker Faerleia how will give u a quest https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=452 so i advise to do this one as well if u are over there already. After that i went to get journual.It took some time to go by killing everyone on the way but got some xp finished 2 quest so it was worth it, i don't see any point to run through town until the Inn.

Kommentar von 456675

just finished it as a 14 rogue with ok equips. Wasn't exactly easy since I did die once but only because I managed to pull three at the same time.

Just remember to use those all mighty potions as needed.

Kommentar von 335827

I solo'd this as a level 13 rogue, didn't kill a single dude. Wearing nothing but vendor whites, i stayed in stealth, sapped the level 16, stole, stealth and left. Simples :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Journal is in the inn layout building all the way straight back from the gate. It is in a bookshelf upstairs.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This journal is found at 43,73. It is in the back in a house, and you need to run upstairs. When you get there, there will be 3 rooms. Take room #3 on your right hand side. It is in there.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Several questions:

1. Can I enter the village from the back side and is that a better route in?

2. What level do you recommend to solo this - I'm currently 18 and it seems tough even at this level (based on my first attempt).

3. Is it possible to sealth one's way to the inn and upstairs?

Thanks.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Stealth to the upper level of the inn, kill the 3 guards, then stealth in the back room, sap the apothecary, grab the books, and sprint out. Or you can kill the apothecary if you want, he's level 16+. I accomplished this at level 19.

Kommentar von Thottbot

there is a break in the village wall on the south side. jump through the break into the village. you can then skirt the inside of the wall all the way to the back. you still have to kill everyone in front of the inn, but it is much quicker. i did it solo as a level 20 hunter, even though my melee skills suck. (don't freak out when you can't click on any of the books in the room like i did :) the journal is in a bookcase.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This is a fun quest. I did this as a L19 Mage. The guy who posted "Got to the left and walk behind the buildings" was right. As a mage you just need to killed two of the guards walking around the front gate. Then high tail it behind the buildings on the left. Once you get behind the Inn, kill the guild between the Inn and the house on the right. Watch for wandering guards and kill 1-2 of them if you can. Once inside the Inn, there is a caster just inside. Freeze or Polymorph him and then run upstair and end the 3rd furthest to the right. You'll see hairy Apothecary Bernard in the room. The guards from the other rooms will aggro you and kill you in Bernard's room. There's no way to avoid this death soloing, unless you're a Rogue. If you're a Rogue, you can just SAP Benard while Stealthed and take the Journal.

Once you come back, rez all the way in the back of the room, so none of the guards outside or in the other rooms with aggro you. Heal immediately with a potion and when Bernard attacks, Polymorph his ass into a sheep and then take Benard's Journal from his book shelf. Then Hearthstone back to U.C. If Bernard come out for the sheep. Polymorph him again and then Hearthstone. Piece of cake.

Kommentar von Thottbot

soloed it as a lvl 15 hunter...ran to the inn from the side path. ran upstairs, died. came back and rezzed. sent pet to hold aggro and grabbed the book...died last time and spirit healed to turn in quest

Kommentar von Thottbot

I started off just as others said: get inside through the break in the south wall. Hug the wall 'till you get to the inn.

There's another way to get in to the inn, however. Instead of running in through the front door, you can go to the side of the inn closest to the south wall and get in there. You'll see a few windows with ledges on them. Jump on the one to the left. Get as close as possible to the wall. Hover your mouse around the wall in front of you, until you hover over 'Wooden Chair.' Right click, and it'll teleport you inside.

I did this as a level 15 Warlock. I went inside through the wall, feared the first guy I saw, ran upstairs feared a few up there.. Sadly, died. I went back as a ghost into the room where Berard is. Got into the corner, resurrected, feared Berard, opened the bookcase, grabbed the book.. Then died again. But I got the book!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Use south east entrance.
Died twice to reach the room.
(Could have made it with 1 run but i didn't know where it was)
Rez between the guard outside and Berad

*Psychic Screm*!

It'll take some time before they get back, one of the guys actually aggroed another guard next room but I was still able to get it and run almost out of the house. (whcih was not necessary) Rez and walk behind the houses along south wall. shield up and get prepared to scream again on your way out.

Kommentar von Thottbot

There is an easier way to get to the inn.
First, go to the Shadowfang keep. Before the entrance, there is a drawbridge. Jump off it. You will take about 200hp damage. Heal it, and go towards Pyrewood village. There is a big hole in the wall and only 2-3 guards between you and the inn. Figure out the rest yourself.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Warlock lvl 18:
Just get to the inn somehow, run or fight ur way there. I prefer running and dieing.

Resurrect in the corner of stairs, summon voidwalker and kill the center rooms mob first and then head for the Apothecary, kill the mob in the room before his room and IF you get the aggro from the apothecary just put ur voidwalker take his aggro and open bookshelf, run down, sacrifice voidwalker and run away from the village. I used a healthpot when my shield faded but I didn't even had to use it for real, just in case :p

Kommentar von Thottbot

Creep in the hole in the southern side of the fence and hug the fence all the way to the inn. Pull the mobs 1 by 1 and kill them. I just used a 22-41 dmg wand and shield on myself. Heal when I get low. Make sure to aggro them and then draw them away from others so that when they run they don't attract more.

Once in the inn you can carefully pull them 1 by 1 and kill them. For the journal run in, Psychic Scream and IMMEDIATELY shift-right-click the bookcase.

Once you have the book, shield, heal, and wait for the scream to recharge. Psychic Scream once more and IMMEDIATELY use your hearth stone.

Far less time consuming than dying over and over. More fun too.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I soloed it as level 16 priest even with 2 red items :D

i used the backdoor entrance(jump from top).

Walked around the inn and killed one by one, i have to say i got lucky i didnt aggro more than 1 of them at a time, but it wasnt problem at all, even the lvl 16 elit

greater magic wand ftw! :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Stealth your way to the 2nd floor of the house. Go to the most right chamber. Now you have 2 options: kill the Apothecary Berard or just sap him and take the recipe out of the closet.
I killed him as a lvl 17 rogue, but i have the wingblade equipped (leaders of the fang quest in WC)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Stealthed in, Sapped Mutt, opened chest, re-stealthed and walked out.
5 point in master of deception, 2 points in Improved sap. Easy. :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Found the wall break! Coordinates 47.74

Kommentar von Thottbot

I did this as my lvl 14 Priest with a lvl 14 Rogue. We just killed the first few, went along the side to the back of the inn and killed our way up to Berard and the journal.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I soloed this as a lvl 15 warlock, me and my friend voidwalker took out the guys in the front( after going from the backside), tried to take out those in the inn, but aggroed and died. Went upstairs as a spirit and resurected, feared the Berard and looted the journal, then died and resurrected at a spirit healer. Might be a bad way to do it, but xp is xp:P

Kommentar von Thottbot

1. Get naked.
2. Run naked into village to the inn.
3. Let them kill u.
4. Res upstairs in room with book.
5. Sheep werewolf in room, get book, run out or die and res at back of Inn and HS.

Grats 5 min Q.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This was realatively easy. I went to through the breach and followed the wall to the inn. Jumped up on the window ledge as one person previously suggested, and waited for a sentry to come kill me. I then ressed inside upstairs by the bookcase, cast psychic scream, grabbed the book and waited for the guard to return and kill. Ressed at shrine, and I'm done. Easy as could be.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Why do so many people have to explain in painstaking detail how they completed the quest? People need to know:

1) The cords, or n.s.e.w. directions from a wellknown area to the location of the quest.

2) Simple and effective instructions to best complete quest

3) Your lvl and if soloed.

4) Where to turn in quest in case someone forgot.

5) I suppose if it includes collecting items then a drop rate is appropriate.

Please do not repeat what has already been said over and over again in previous posts. Some people would like to find what there looking for quickly and get back to the game, rather than deal with 50 posts all saying the same thing!

Kommentar von Thottbot

As a mage, you can use the spell "Blink" on the wall corner and get throught it. Then you just need to kill 1 mob and get the journal, inside a shelf.

Kommentar von Thottbot

lol i made it as a 14 warlock died about 4 times but did it....thnks for the coords

Kommentar von Thottbot

It is solo-able at 19 (I'm a warlock). But its incredibly tedious...
Group only I say.

Kommentar von Thottbot

where is it?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Soloable as an 18 mage if you've put pts in fast frostbolt and frost nova. Sneak to back of inn as per usual. Kill guard outside door (lead him to back of inn and kite back and forth with Frostbolt, flameblast and nova). Then just repeat this sequence for all mobs inside. Tag one and draw him outside behind the inn to kill him. May have to kill the outside guy again so watch for respawns. For the final 2 mobs I was able to kill them by running between the rooms upstairs.

It's tricky and an unlucky patrol can ruin your day, but if you play it smart a frost mage can do this at 18 at least (provided you have greens boosting your int, you'll need every drop). Much more satisfying then the typical 'run in and die' technique :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I did this quest easy as a lvl 16 rogue. You an stealth all the way through to the back house. Once inside, stealth up the stairs and look to the room on your very right. The werewolf paths in the room before the bedroom where the bookcase is located. If you time it correctly you can hug the right wall of that room and slide past him. Once you are in the bedroom just sap the wolf in there and grab the book. After that, pop evasion and sprint and book it out of there. If you head to the left after exiting the house you can run behind the stable and leash all the wolves after you. It's that easy.

Kommentar von Thottbot

the guy was right, theres a hole in the south side wall. i ran into the inn, with lots of werewolves chasin me and died at top of the stairs. i resses in the room near the stairs got werewolves attantion and frost nova'd them to the floor and went in and took the book off of the shelf. then the werewolves killed me and i ressed at spirit healer. quest complete! lvl 15 mage;)

Kommentar von Thottbot

1) WHAT IS THE CORDS!
2) give the cords for the south wall

Kommentar von Thottbot

i tried...i died in the inn, rezzed in the far corner of the room...feared whatshisface and when i go to get the book the guy in the room next to the one with the book comes in and kills me. or if i fear him the main guy comes in and both kill me =/

Kommentar von Thottbot

After killing a few of the Elites in the area I decided doing it this way would take too long. So here is what I did with my Level 16 warlock:

1) Make sure you have a health stone or a healing potion ready to be used. Hop down from the bridge of Shadowfang keep and run along the inside of the village wall to the back of the inn. Pull any mob and let it kill you near the west wall of the inn.

2) As a ghost run up into the inn and go to the northeast corner of the room with the bookshelf.

3) Target Apothecary Berard before resurrecting. Upon ressurecting immediately cast fear. If Apothecary Berard resists fear then use a health stone or healing potion and cast fear again.

4) As soon as Apothecary Berard is feared immediately use the book shelf to get the quest item. Wait for the Apothecary Berard's return by the western wall of the room and get killed again.

5) Run back as a ghost outside the village wall and resurrect outside of the village near the inn.

6) Use your hearth stone to get back home to turn in the qust. Done.

Dying twice is not elegant, but it does save a lot of time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

1. Enter The Inn inside Pyrewood Village (43,73), you can stealth without a problem, just watch the patrols.

2. Climb to the 2nd Floor.

3. The item is at the room on your right, after you finish climbing the stairs. You have to go through one room in order to get to the room with the bookshelf. Each room has a level 16 elite mob.

4. Sap the first guard (be careful here, do it slowly, they aggro very easily)

5. Stealth ahead to the next room with Berard.

6. You can try sapping Berard but I found it impossible, instead I used the quest item I got from a Brill quest, Slumber Sand, I used it on Berard and had no trouble looting the quest item.

Kommentar von Thottbot

It's better to do this quest in a group. The town is all elites.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Did this as an Undead Rogue.
1. Easy stealth to the Inn
2. Kept on stealth through the inn untill i got to the stairs
(no-one comes here so your safe to have a breather)
3. Took the far right room at the top of the stairs
4. Sapped the guy in there and went through to the last room (still in stealth)
5.Sapped the main guy which was a bit tricky as he kept moving. 6. Opened the wardrobe and retrieved the book just in time for them both to escape form the Sap
7. Ressurected at SH and handed in Quest

Solo'd this as a 19 Warrior (with decent gear I bought from my main lol) Go to the entrance of the village and pull each of the guards to you, should only need to pull 2. All the above posts are correct about the pathway along the fence to your left. Hug the fence and you can get by the one pat infront of house to your left. Go alllll the way around and you'll come out on the left side of the inn. Watch the house in front of you there are two guards there. Pull the guards one by one from the front of the inn to the bushes and kill em. Upstairs, the far right room kill him, then the big werewolf guy. Open the bookcase and done! Hearth to UC.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Okay, after multiple deaths and god knows how much in armour repairs I finally did this quest with a level 18 mage, using the die-and-resurrect method outlined by switchblade327 (kudos), above.

But there's something deeply unsatisfying about completing a quest in this way. You haven't, after all, solved the problem - you've just found a hack which means that you don't need to solve it.

When you see a level 14 mob, you know it means that it can easily be killed by a level 14 player, and can be killed by a level 10 player who's good (or gets lucky).

So what's the point of "elite" mobs? These level 14 elites aren't level 14 - that's just a lie. They're maybe about level 22 or 23 - I can't defeat one at level 18 without using a health potion. The quest, however, is rated level 15.

The only way to do this quest properly as a solo player is to wait until you're high enough level to take them on - by which time you'll earn 0 XP because the mobs pay the same XP as real level 14s! They're also highly unlikely to drop anything usable by the solo player - everything will be too low-level and will simply have to go to the AH (assuming it's not BoP).

I know, it's meant to be a group quest (and I'm strictly a solo PvE player), but there's got to be a less dishonest way of arranging that than simply under-rating the mobs. Maybe the rewards could be made inversely proportional to the number of players in the group. Or perhaps elites could be confined to instanced dungeons, where at least the solo player knows in advance that she's wasting her time (I did Ragefire chasm once with a hunter - kept trying until I completed it. I made a lot of money from all the greens, but I scored 0 XP because the quests are all 14-18 and the hunter was nearly 30. I still died over a dozen times, too).

Dungeons for solo players, anyone? I'd start a petition to Blizzard, but that would involve teamwork ;)

Priest version is slightly different, and will involve exactly two deaths if you do it right:

1. Sneak into Pyrewood at 47,74 and sneak around the wooden wall until you reach the building furthest west.

2. Go behind that building and hit your shield, then run around the corner into the inn-style building.

3. Hit 'Psychic Scream' once you're inside the inn. It will buy you a couple of seconds for you to get up the stairs.

4. Die (don't worry the guards will take care of this for you)

5. Walk back and position yourself *right next to* the bookcase that contains the journal.

6. As soon as you hit res, do psychic scream again - make sure you get both Berard and the guard in the antechamber.

7. Immediately grab the book. You will get the book and then die. (again this will be done for you).

8. Res at teh spirit healer or outside the back of the inn

Kommentar von Thottbot

Previous statement is true-- room is the one on the far right.
If you are a Rogue, you can Sap the guard, Sap the Apothecary, and right click on the bookshelf. Make sure you right click on the journal to take it and complete the mission. Then, you can Hearthstone out of there before the stun effects from the two Saps wear off.
Yes, you can Stealth into the house. Hug the walls. Resign yourself to not taking out any of the mobs inside. They are all Elites, and one at level 16 gave me a run for my money.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was able to do it with a lvl 14 rogue, with stealth, to get into the building is simple, u can enter even by the main entrance, just remain behind the guards. To the inn u have to go around a building, and up to the inn's first floor. there when u see the bookshelf u have to be cautious for the werewolf(forgot his name) would see u in ure stealth, but when it attacks, i gauged him, and looted quickly, then he killed me, but the job was done already... and at least this was an exciting way to complete it:D

Kommentar von Thottbot

this quest showed as yellow to me, so i wasted my time walking all the way out there only to find out that its a town full of elites? by the time i'm high enough of a level to solo, it won't be worth doing. guess its another quest to abandon :) that sucks.

Kommentar von Thottbot

As of today, March 26, 2008 they are no longer Elites. Maybe it was a glitch, maybe a fix.. Dunno, I solo'ed it with a 15 priest. None to Shabby.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I noticed as I went passed this entrance on the way to SFK that the mobs aren't elites out the front. I saw a few inside, but didn't go all the way in.

Mobs are 14-15 and not elite...of what I saw.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

ive done all the quests in pyrewood as a 17 lock, solo

i remember that the enemies used to say elite on them, but they dont anymore,

maybe post 2.4 this is not an elite quest?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did this as lvl 15 undead priest:

went from shadowfang keep bridge.. jump down and sneak behind the stables. Suicide ran inside to his room in the back and died.

Came back as a ghost to his room and used psychic scream to buy some time and shield of fortitude to loot the book from the shelf before dying again.

Death can be a part of the plan: Quest complete.

AS said, go straight forward past the fountain and straight into what looks like an inn, go upstairs and its in the right-most room.....

Did this as a lvl 13 mage (Undead), first time ive found it, died getting to the building, then ran around dead looking for the right room...

Died again getting to the building, didnt bother trying to kill anyone....
Rezzed in the room next to the one i wanted, "Frost Nova'd" the two guys and got to the book case..... just in time too!

I let them kill me and i rezzed back at sepulcher and haded in q......

Got 1350xp 'nice'

Mage name: Qoon

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I thought this quest was pretty difficult, I did it solo as a level 21 Warlock. I went in the front and dragged the first couple out with my big blue buddy, after that I went back into the village and to the left I hid and ran behind all the buildings. After searching for the inn for ages I found it in the very back, around the center.

If you're doing it solo just try to fight one mob at a time, sometimes two.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This quest is almost impossible to do solo.
You need a "raid" party.
I did this quest with a lvl 14 (me), a lvl 19 warlock, and a Lvl 22 Druid.
Cords are:
43.1, 72.9
Go upstairs in the inn, go to the first dor on the right, then go into the next room straight ahead
MAKE SURE TO KILL ALL SENTRYS UPSTAIRS BEFORE KILLING THE WEREWOLF!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

At the back of the village in the Inn. 42,73.

My 15 rogue snuck in, sapped Berard, grabbed the book and ran. Almost made it out of the village.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Me ( lvl 14 warlock ) and a 14 rogue made it without die once! just ran and kill, very easy quest! :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just did this as a Lvl 15 Warlock. I just ran into the room with the book, died, then ressed back in the far corner of the room, feared Berard (luckily the sentry in the hallway didn't see me) and grabbed it, before dying and spirit healing at the Sepulcher.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found out the hard way about the Werewolves. My level 15 Warrior and a level 15 mage took this quest on. We were about 1/4 of the way through the village killing every villager 1 at a time. We went into a building and cleared it and healed. While we were inside, it became 9PM server time. All the humans we had killed respawned in their new form as Moonrage Elders. We couldn't even fight our way out. Be careful of when you go into this town.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The werewolves that used to populate Pyrewood Village have been replaced with humans.

Only one werewolf is left. His name is Apothecary Bernard, and you won't miss a peek at him if you do this quest. He's the person occupying the room you have to enter (at the far back on the top floor at the Inn (Coords 43,72).

He's furthermore a lvl 16-elite, so it will be a good idea to take that into account when you plan your visit.

The book you need to lift is to the right of the door when you enter the room. But you can't get to it while Apothecary Bernard is awake and alert. He needs to be killed, put to sleep, sapped or otherwise taken out of consciousness.

I'm a rogue, so I had an easy time, just like another rogue here in the thread has described.

Good luck, folks! ^^

Kommentar von Allakhazam

it's quite simple for a small group (lvl16 warlock, lvl19 rogue and again lvl16 warlock). I did this with my 16 warlock, and gained 1350 experience points from Apothecary Renferrel.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Rule 1: Don't rush past the gates just because the path is clear. I did so, and ran face first into four of them. badd idea. However, I was a Level 20 Troll Shaman, so.. haha. It was more worse for them than it was for me.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just finished this with my 15th level rogue. I'll say up front that I got lucky. Stealthed to the inn and got to Berard's room without incident. Hid as far as I could in the corner and prayed he wouldn't see me when I clicked on the bookshelf. He saw me... Hit him with Gouge and opened the bookcase while he was stunned. Ran for my life with sprint and evasion on. LOL If I was thinking, I might have tried to sap him and then open the bookcase. he was Elite, but only 16. This is just what worked for me of course... results may vary.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Easy really, did the quest in pyrowood as lvl 19 mage with a lvl 19 priest.

We just sneaked behind all the buildings (there is an opening in the stockade if go left around the village instead of entering through the entrance). When we finally found the inn we just went in and took care of the 3-4 elites in there (they are seperated so it's a piece of cake) and voila... we got the journal and without fighting any unnecessary elite mobs.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this one this morning. I only died due to trying to kill one guy and then he aggroed two mre and I got raped. I went around the other side of the inn (using the shifty entrance as described below), snuck up to Beren, sapped him, opened bookcase and ran like a crazy ^&*!@. Evasion comes in VERY handy when running away. =D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Solo'd as a 19 undead warlock: Worked my way down the main path straight to the Inn, and then tried running as fast and far as possible into the Inn and up the stairs with the voidwalker attempting to agro everything. Died before I got to the stairs of course, then ghosted back in and rez'd upstairs in Berards room. This turned out to be a bad idea as he killed me rather quickly. I then rez'd on the stair mid landing, summoned big blue and picked off all the elites upstairs one by one untill just Berard was left.
While bigblue hammered away at him, I grabbed the book and then aided my big blue buddy...easy as pie.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you're a priest and doing the suicide mission version as Demincia posted for a priest, timing is really important. I died several times at level 18 and gave up and ended up doing Shadowfang Keep with a group, so the next time I tried it I was 19. I still died about 4 times after resurrecting.

It's best to put your shield up right away and drink a mana potion. Then go to the bookcase, and *then* Psychic Scream, and then renew the shield, if you can. I always ended up using Psychic Scream (when I remembered it, undoubtedly one of my problems was that I kept forgetting about it) too early, and then would be interrupted while getting the book.

If you wait to scream while you're at the bookcase, you will not be interrupted while getting the book. So, shield and potion first, then run to bookcase, then scream. Even if both the guy and the sentry run at you, they will run away when you scream and you will have enough time.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this at 15 with my rogue, stealthed in, saped the guy open the bookcase and walked out. Anyone besides a rogue should just get 1 or 2 other people....the mobs really arnt even that hard.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed this at lvl 18 with my rogue... :) Stealthed to Berard's room and sapped him... Then took book and sprinted out from there... Shaked all adds I got and then stealthed away from pyrewood village :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you go straight into Pyrewood Village, just keep heading straight. The Inn is the building right behind the fountain. The bookcase needs to be opened, and it's two rooms off to the right at the top of the stairs.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've found it, but I'm just a level 18 Priest and I'm having problems even taking a human at level 14... Its no way I can take anyone in this house, what do I do?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Funny how they have it tagged as a lvl 15 quest, when mobs are 14 + Elites

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Anyone know where in village the book can be found? Ive looked in all the houses in all the rooms and didnt see it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

A lvl 17 lock with void and 18 lock with imp did all the pyrewood quests easy.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

With a lvl 17 lock, i cleared the way up the middle then sacrificed my voidwalker and ran up to the room that has barard in it then died. Then i walked back as a ghost and waited in the room and logged off. Then i brought my lvl 61 hunter, killed berard, logged back out, logged in as my lock and got the book and hearthed back to sepulcher. Its cheap but it worked : )

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Easily done as a level 16 lock:

First, stock up on soul stones. You'll need at least two (you'll die once, and I'm assuming you'll use your healthstone before you die), and I suggest four in case you die twice.

Approaching the village, go left and beside the wall of stakes (instead of though the gates). The wall goes up on a hill, and resumes a bit left and at the bottom of that same hill, resulting in small gap. Walk through that, get as close to the wall as possible, then as the wall curves to the right, get slightly inside the inn before being killed. Rezz on the stairs, summon a voidwalker and create a healthstone, and after healing up mana and health, attack the guy in the RIGHT room (very important). Cast curse of weakness, immolation, and corruption, then stop and let your voidwalker get aggro. Use Health Funnel when your voidwalker is getting close to half health. You can cast a few Shadow Bolts, but you mainly need to focus on keeping your voidwalker alive & aggro'd.

After killing that first guy, focus on the one across from the stairs. He'll run into the room where the first guy was - that's why I said it's important to kill that first guy first. Be ready if the third guy (room next to the stairs) attacks right as the second guy is dying. After that, loot the bodies, heal up, attack Berard, let your voidwalker get aggro, get the book from the bookshelf to the left (as you enter the room), then kill Berard. Hearthstone out of there.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Zauil's post is incorrect. The humans turn into werewolves at night. I don't know why one would assume they have been "replaced."

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Level 22 priest and 19 mage completed together, no deaths. Went straight through the center slowly, never more than 2 at a time.

The Inn was still clear after we got the book, so i shielded and renewed and ran like hell. Threy stop chasing you not too far out of the gate.

Level 18 Mage

Since we all know that Pryewood is full of 14-16 elites...soloing the way to room is pretty difficult without dying. What I did was go around to the left side of the stockade fence until you see a small opening. Went straight to the inn in the back with all the mobs in tow...got all the way to the room with the book and Werewolf. You might have to use a Frost Nova on the way there to get to the room. Once there I just died. I released and went back to the room...stood in the corner and rez'd. Once I rez'd, I just sheeped the elite Werewolf (Bernard). Got the book from the book shelf and let the mobs beat me until I died...released...done.

Level 15? I have to wonder what the WoW designers are smoking for the suggested levels. The first critter is 13th level elite that proceeds to whoop up on my 17 level mage. I've only killed one and just barely once I got to 18th level. Do they expect to party up on all the elite quests?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I tried to tackle this today with my lvl 22 hunter and my lvl 21 pet... I killed the first guy w/no problem, but then got mobbed by three guys. I ran for the hills and was saved by a passing lvl 40 warrior. I think you need to essentially plan a raid on this village, just as you would to an opposite factions city!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I soloed as a 24 Warrior. Stayed to the far left, went in the Inn at 43,73 and was able to take out the elites one by one. Easy.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Solod as 15 Rogue without dieing once. Stealthed in and managed to get to the bookshelf alive. I sapped Apothecary Berard, took the book right when the elite dude from the other room spotted me. Evasion + Sprint and I got out of the village alive thanks to a gap in the fence next to a mountain.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

level 17 rogue just stealthed in all the way to the inn in the very back up stairs and then killed berard and got the book from the book shelf then hearthstoned it back and as the realm was counting down to get offline for maintence

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I Leroy Jenkinsed in the room and died then rezzed in the far corner. Immediately, I cast frost nova to immobilize the apothocary and ran over and clicked the book, looted, then died... rezzed at the graveyard. No mobs killed.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

the Eastmost building, be careful as there are some elites and more spawn as you leave, did this as a levl 16 w/ basically a raid party, so it was easy

Kommentar von mdemma

Slumber sand works fine on Berard

Kommentar von ZhaunRong

L18 Tauren Fury Druid. Came in through a break in the fence (not the main gate) on the south side (at about 44 or 45 - 75), and traveled west along the inside of the fence: Took out one guard close to the Inn then healed. Switched to Druid, amped up my buffs then raced in and through the Inn and up the stairs to Berard's room trailing a few humans. Ignored the humans and killed Berard then started on the humans and died. Resurrected in Berard's room next to the bookcase (out of sight of any threats), picked up the book and hearthstoned out.

Kommentar von Bonky

i was able to complet this quest alone on a level 15 warlock by using Slumber sand from trisfal glades as the npc in that room is humanoid
Schlummersand
Though if you havent saved these it might become a lite difficult if you cant cc him.

My exact steps is that i got close to the bookshelf and died and walked back, while in ghost form jump onto the bookshelf to avoid pulling the mob in the other room

Kommentar von Seirus

Soloed on my lvl 17 warlock with Slumber Sand and a couple corpse runs. I died inside the inn, did the run back, resurrected on the bookshelf and immediately used the slumber sand on Berard; then grabbed what I needed. I then jumped down and let the guard in the next room kill me, then I ran back and resurrected safely behind the inn and made a break for the gap in the palisade wall just to the north of the inn and behind the stables. Getting to the inn is easy to, just stick to the wall behind the houses from the main entrance, and watch for patrols.
