The bookcase containing the Worn Leather Book can be found at coordinates 39,46.

redaxe의 댓글

As a mage you can sheep the L40 elite, loot the bookcase, re-sheep the elite (you may get a few resists). Hearth out or run out to the north. Run up and over the ramp on the wall to the north and jump off. All those chasing you will lose aggro.

As a priest, just run in and fear him. Gives enought time to get the book.

I got the book by luring him out and using entangling roots to win some time to get the book. He did kill me, but details.. meh ^^

Used mostly the same tactic with a lvl 34 Shaman, I rez in the adjoining room, run in, aggro the lvl 40 elite, and place a stoneclaw totem, while he was aggroed to that, i had just enough time to grab the book and make a dash for it...

Could it be done with a level 31-32 warlock?

Or could I just send my void in and aggro him and take it then?

Soloed as a 33 warlock. Went in backway as before, went inside house, sent VW at guard, ran in, grabbed book and HS. Was ready to sacrafice VW incase it would die to fast so I wouldn't have time to HS but made it with 20% HP left on VW.

Very easily soloed as lvl 36 Rouge. Enter from west side, near the yeti's cave. There is a wall to the right hand side, you can jump it, but be careful, as soon as you pass wall, you will find the ogres, all elite. As a rouge, if one of them attacks you can use vanish. Find the house with the tower, exactly opposite the ruins. Enter and you will find a lvl 40 elite. If rouge, you can sap him, get the book from behind him off the shelf, you have plenty of time to stealth again, and get out.

The Shaman way is simple - just draw aggro, draw the beastie into the second small room (where the door to the outside is) and drop a stoneclaw. Then dash back in and collect your book. You'll likely die either escaping or just after you collect the book, but hey, it's on your mantle.

for warrior - equip your shield, max stam gear you have and defensive stance. run in > bloodrage > intimidating shout, make sure you DON'T attack the ogre or put dot on him as damage will break fear. loot the book, run out until you lose all aggro

Tried this today, 2.01 with my pala and I can't take book while bubbled. So, it looks like paladins are only class wich cannot solo this pre-40. :)

I solod this at lvl 34 on my Mage. All I did was run into the Clock Tower Building and let all the npc orges kill me. After I ran back to my body and rez'd and I sheeped the 40 elite ogre in the room and got the book.

I'm sure Hunters could do this also with their frost trap, Warlocks with fear, Druids with Entangle roots.

Solo'd as a level 34 Warlock, using my imp. I fear/dotted every elite ogre. I did have to SS once because of an add however it was sloppy and easily avoidable. Once you can walk into the town hall containing the 40 elite, use your voidwalker to distract the elite and loot. You can hearth before your pet dies.
Hunters can probably do something similar, as well as rogues with excellent stunlocking abilities.

A really easy way for rogues is to sneak in as close to the bookcase as you can, Blind the Ogre, quickly loot the book and hit Vanish.

i did this with my 34 warrior, but i picked the wrong house :( that cost me 2 deaths, and it is a LONG way to run. so you should not just run into every damn house u think is big enough ^^

am i in the wrong place or something? it is lvl 40 elites everywhere and the big house i overfloathing with them.

did this yesterday with my lvl 35 Draenei priest, shielded down to the wall of the building then used lesser invisibility potion(15 secs) to get to the bookcase. Went for the book and the invisibility goes, Phsycic screamed the lvl 40 elite took the book, shielded and ran. As luck would have it there was a blood elf outside being aggro'd by three ogres so to help him out i flipped SWP on one while passing. Didn't die either which was good

37 Druid Solo. Stealth in, Pounce, Faerie fire, Shred, attack a bit, ferocious bitee. get out of bear form, rejuv regrowth, bear form. heal, bear. Keep demoralizing up, use bash before you come out to heal. Have a mana pot or health pot ready just in case you run low on mana. Dont forget frenzied regen.

You might want to grab fp in western plaguelands while you're at it=]

I did this just 5 minutes ago on my level 36 warrior, without dying. It's really easy. Get to that belltower, but take off all your gear (besides things that can't take damage, like rings, capes, shirts, etc) incase you die. If something aggro's onto you, you have the oppertunity to get away from it no matter which ogre it is (unless you're stupid, and didn't follow along the wall as the first poster indicated you should do). Usually running behind a building will get you out of dodge if you're in trouble. Anyway, once inside the building with the book you need, you have to deal with that damn 40 elite, Muckrake. Put your gear back on. The trick is to go into Defensive Stance, press Bloodrage, walk in to the room with the bookcase and Muckrake, get 25 rage, then hit Intimidating Shout. If the fear works, you got JUST enough time to run to the bookcase and get your book, if you did this in the very center of the room. If your fear is resisted just run out of the building and to the right until he goes away. Once you finally loot the book you need, run out the way you came in until Muckrake goes away.

Goodluck!

Just did this as a 38 lvl nightelf druid. just used stelt in too the right house, than stelt in. Used pounce on the lvl 40, (all in catform) and then I just hit him with claw, one rake, and later on with Ferocious Bite, and healed myself with healing touch. Had to heal twise. Was easy. Then I just stelt out.

Falkor의 댓글

Could not solo as 37 feral druid with decent gear...on best attempt i had him down to about 5% and i just couldnt pull it off...main reason is he's orange so i couldnt crit and barely hit him in bear&cat. I also ran oom stance dancing and healing, bashes were missing and such...so basicly just get a rogue to sap it for u like i did and its gravey.

If you have a high level main character, you can just blaze a path to the bookcase, and then log on your alt to get the book. Made this super easy! If you can stealth, just log-out in the room, log-on your main, kill the guy, and then just log back in on your alt to grab the book.

ok, this guy is resisting my fears, and my bubble cant make it through his beating. im a lvl 34 priest.

for mages you can sheep the ogre guarding the book case and it should last long enough for you to get the book and get out.

I soloed this as a lvl 32 rogue. Simply stealth in to the first building straight off the road. Distract then Sap the 40 elite mob. Loot the bookcase. You get the worn leather book. Then you can pick off the 34-36 ogres on the outskirts ot the ruins for the Recovered Tomes

as a 30 warlock, i soloed this only dying three times, making sure to take off my gear ahead of time ((i know, im not as cool as you other guys))

i made sure to die right behind the building and rezzed inside the room NEXT to the one Muckrake was in. Got out my imp and had him attack while i got the book. died and rezzed back outside.

no damage and only took like 15 minutes

Everyone calls this location a "small house", and just for clarity's sake I'd like to point out that it is often the model of the town hall. Hopefully this will avoid confusion for people looking for a little house. ;)

Soloed as a 35 affliction lock, sent in voidy and let him build up aggro, then unloaded all my dots and drained life, sacced VW when he was at about 10% and finished off using DL and refreshing dots, pretty simple

Warlock LvL 29 SOLO. got to the back of the House jumped up on to the ledge were you used to take it thru the wall before update,,, soo i Tryed something different. (for warlocks only.) Use the EYE OF KILLROG. (or what ever server you are on.. ) Take the Eye around the house and enter thru the normal entrace. and the Ogre cant detect the eye go straight to the Bookshelf and once you are close enuf you may Right Click and get the Book thru the Wall :)

I found the worn book in the big building as you walk into the site. The coordinates for the bookcase is 38,46. It was in the third room all the way in the back, guarded by Muckrake, Lvl 40. Easy to take down by yourself though.

Recovering the tomes were found on the ogres throughout the site.

This quest was pretty easy unless you can upon the elites. I went at lvl 41 with a lvl 36 hunter and we were able to finish the quest with minimal damage.

This quest was good to do with Crushridge Bounty which you would receive loot for the quest off the same ogres.

I did this on my lvl 38 hunter but im sure this will work for any lvl hunter.
Just barely poke your head in the door lock on the guy send your pet in go in get the book while your pet and him battle it out (use mend pet if nessicary) and then either kill him or let him kill you and rez.

Got the first books at lvl 38 warrior. Got the last as lvl 42. The start was hard but came bac kas higher lvl got it in no time. The last book is guarded by lvl 40.

Did this as a 31 feral druid without dieing. Stealthed in from the side of the city near the growless cave, aggroed a 37 mage ogre and LOS'ed him into the building and killed him. Then took on the 40 ogre guarding the book, took some heals, and the guy has a nasty interrupt, but came out fine. Hearthed after I got the book.

at 3.0, the bookcase is protected by a level 40 ogre.

I did this as a level 32 mage (alt) and here's what I did...

- I ran in with the mobs I aggro'd aswell (only 1 caster came in luckily)
- Frost nova'd the ogre gaurding the book
- Grabbed the book
- Died
- Rez'd and got on my mount and rode off

Should work for other mages at my level or higher, good luck.

did this on a lvl 32 hunter died 2 times but when i was inside just sent my pet on the lvl 40 and took the book

SpitefulCrow의 댓글

Finished this solo as a 34 Hunter with no real trouble, no deaths.

As soon as you enter the Ruins of Alterac through the gates the Ogres start to go from Lv35-36 to about Lv39-40 or somewhere around there, so if you are low level be careful how you walk through here. You do not want to aggro too many. You are looking for the building with a bell tower almost straight ahead from the gates, it resembles the town hall in many cities (like Darkshire and Southshore) with the same layout. There is a 'boss' mob in the back that is level 40 (or was it 41?) that you will have to fight.

Just finished this as a 32 rogue. Steathed in, sprinted to building with the book when i got aggro, vanished, waited for cooldowns to reset, stealthed into building, lost about 1/4 health getting the book while being beaten on, vanished, went to the next room and hearthed out. Much easier than expected

Conal의 댓글

Level 32 BM hunter: Make your way inside the building wherein lies the book, have your pet take and hold agro, loot the book and hearth out. Done.

FYI, the book was not located in the far western area of the ruins for me; it was inside the first intact building you run into (straight ahead) inside the ruins (the one that looks like a schoolhouse). The book is 'on' a bookshelf.

Thottbot의 댓글

Its in school house in book case guarde by lev 40 elite

Thottbot의 댓글

The coordinates are 39, 48. I soloed this (lvl 34) effectively by running into the ruins and dying -- working my way to the schoolhouse and recovering in the schoolhouse foyer. If you're a hunter, distract the ogre with your pet and slow him down with a frost trap and you should get the worn leather book. Granted you'll want to revive in the graveyard, but it worked for me.

Thottbot의 댓글

im a 27 warlock and i ran in like a crazy madman...died, flash rezed after a safe distance ag got the book easy enough

Thottbot의 댓글

The schoolhouse is straight ahead through the gates, a large building with three rooms. The first two are empty, and in the large back room is the 40 elite ogre and the bookcase with the leather book. It is more difficult, I think, to get through the mobs in the ruins before the building than to actually defeat the 40. It took me so long to kill them as a 39 Paladin that they kept respawning, and I finally died close enough to the building that I resurrected inside it. Killed the guy inside on the second try. This quest was yellow for me, but it should have been orange judging by the difficulty.

Thottbot의 댓글

as mentioned b4 on another post by another player, u don't have 2 fight anything there to get the worn leather book.
u can get behind that building (even by dying all the way 2 there) and from outside the backwall of the building u can right click the book (u can c the yellow gear icon while moving on the wall). so u get it and run away and that's it.

Thottbot의 댓글

above post is correct... you CAN click on gear icon from the back of the building. when standing behind the schoolhouse (facing the building), it is on the left section in the corner. as far as seeing a bookshelf while dead --- you cant. in fact, quite often you cannot see a quest item in ghost form, tho it never hurts to try. :)

Thottbot의 댓글

Tomes are an easy drop from the Ogrest at and around Gallow's Corner (49,62) in Alterac. The book is at the coordinates stated above and like everyone has been saying, sneak around the backside of the house and open the bookcase through the wall.

I solo'd this as a 36 druid and it was the easiest elite quest I've ever done :)

Thottbot의 댓글

Lvl 37 warrior, solo, didnt go in main gate w/ elites went to next wall over to the east, able to climb mountains and run by gap between wall and mountain. school house to left with steeple on top. used back wall tip got book from bookcase backside of schoolhouse. ran back to wall and up ramp, alchemist vendor on parapet, jumped down from wall. not one encounter. thanks for backwall tip.

Thottbot의 댓글

It's January 9th, 2006, 12:39pm EST, the 1.9 patch has been installed for a few days now and I just got the book through the back wall. Some people are getting thrown off I think because the back wall isn't straight. There's part which jets out. When you're looking at the front of the building, go around the right side. I died on the front steps, then res'd after walking around the building to the right. Go into the logical corner around back where you'd res so as to not aggro any mobs, the place where you can clearly sit and eat before getting killed and turn toward the wall and try there. I was right in the corner and standing in the corner I got the sprocket symbol instantly. So, just to be extra clear, I was in kind of a pocket with two walls being the back two walls of the building and the third and fourth side being a hill. You really have to jump to get out of this pocket, but you can get the book through the back wall easily here, I plan on dying and ressing to return it now.

Thottbot의 댓글

Did it as a 34 Mage, Mana shielded and ran all the way behind the school house, loot the book, hearth back.

38,46 is still correct!

Thottbot의 댓글

Okay, first off, GREAT advice in here guys!

Go to the Southshore inn and set your hearth to it.

When you get to the ruins, kill the first ogres you meet (level 34-35, easy to kill) until you have all your tombs.

I approached the ruins and when I came to the entrance and all those elites, I walked around to the right and around the mountain you see there on the right until I came to the hole in the wall mentioned at tloc 43,40. I didn't jump through the hole though, instead I went around the wall on the left side of it. There is a narrow gap between the left end of the wall and the hill, you can move through it with some jumping. Once through, move around the hill on your left until you're close to the schoolhouse (looks like the one in Moonbrook (westfall)), you can't miss it. Watch for two elite ogres there, be patient and wait for them to move out of your way then run across to the right side of the schoolhouse and around to the back, just jump over the hill at the back right corner and get close to the wall and start moving your mouse around, you'll find it, a gear will appear under the window. I got it that way and it is currently Feb 28th, 2006, so it isn't fixed.

Now use your hearth to get back to southshore and you're all set!

I done this and didn't die once, the only fighting I did was the lower level ogres for my tombs, they were easy.

Easiest elite quest evar! =D

Thottbot의 댓글

Soloed it as 32 Hunter! Be smart and its possible:) Gl Hf!

Btw, the bug is not fixxed so if u want u can go on the back of the school house and open the box!:P

thanks guys!

May 24th 2006
i just did this with my level 31 Warlock

basically... u can run all the way to the back where the Yeti are

(if you're a warlock, cast soulstone resurrection to save you the long walk back to your corpse)

When you reach the Yeti..
there's a gap between the mountain and the wall @ coordinates 34,47

jump through, go straight ahead, turn left before the building - the corner is right there! @ 38,46

(i like the description one of the guys above gave - the logical spot where you'd heal)

stand in the corner (you naughty child, you.. lol) and the cog symbol comes up on the left side

nb: i forgot to hearth to southshore.. but if i die, i guess i'll just res at the spirit and suffer the resurrection penalty :p

Thottbot의 댓글

Wow i can't believe how easy that was. I'm a lvl 33 druid, and I stealthed kitty style to the school house. Followed what someone said here on thottbot about being able to get the book through the wall and stealthed out. It was great! Just go to the backside of the school house to get the book. I also followed the road once i got in the gates. It's like butta!

Guys, I think they fixed this with 2.0. I spent about 15 minutes looking. . .nothing. Went in and did it the old fashioned way :-)

Thanks Anyway!

Thottbot의 댓글

This quest is still easily done without fighting the 40 elite inside. Go inside the building, and pull Muckrake outside. Exit the building to the left and hug the hill, and Muckrake will follow. After a short chase, Muckrake will de-aggro, but his pathing will malfunction and he won't renter the building, but rather he'll stand there out of combat. He'll remain outside the building long enough for you to go inside, loot the book, and leave.

Thottbot의 댓글

I tried all the tips, but it does seem like it's not possible to do it from the back of the schoolhouse anymore. I just didn't get a cog at all.

I made my way into the schoolhouse as a lvl 36 Mage, died right at the bookcase. After I resurrected I poly'd the Lvl40 elite, took the book, let myself die and rezzed at the healer hehe.

Good advice from all though, thanks. :)

First let me say the screen shot is "excellent". But 1st: the mobs 34-36(non-elite) at entrance drop the first 5 books needed. Pulled 1 at a time. Got all 5 after about 15 kills. Again: all in front area.
Second: the bug is fixed. I worked my way around the outskirts of the ruins. Using the ramp where the alchemy supply guy is and around to back of schoolhouse. Got on ledge and checked ALL the walls to pull thru wall. No sucess. SO--I ran around to front entrance sheeping and arcane explosion as i went. Found bookcase (See upper screenshot) Verified book was there and died.
Ran back Res'd on side of bookcase. Sheeped 40 Elite. Got book and ported to SW. Hope info helps and again: GREAT screen shot. (Loc 38,46 is correct)

Thottbot의 댓글

Get to the entrance of the School House.
Select the named Mob throught the wall.
Rage up till its maxed out at 20.
Run to the bookcase while letting the 40 Elite beat on you.
When you have enough Rage to Intimidating Shout (Fear), Let it loose.
Click on bookcase and loot quest Item Book.
Run around right side of house and around the back, loosing agro.

Worked for me at level 37, hope it helps.

38 Hunter, farmed the Tomes from the non-elite ogres outside first, then skirted outside Ruins to the back by Slaughter Hollow by the break in the wall, you can jump between the mountain & tower just left of break to get inside. You can see schoolhouse straight ahead. Put Pet on Passive. Used humanoid tracking to watch patrols, slipped between them to the back of the schoolhouse, went around back to the far side (can see Muckrack on tracking inside - can NOT gear bookcase from outside), waited out 2 patrolling ogres & ran in front door. I tried a freeze trap, but I have flying pet, I got to the book case ok and tried to gear it, but pet's wings got in my way, by time I got it started, Muckrack had broke free & interrupted. Put pet on defensive which pulled his agro. I then was able to gear the bookcase successfully & get book, and even was able to hearth back to Southshore while pet kept Muckrack busy. Me & Pet safely in SS, left Muckrack really frustrated! No dieing today!

"Worn Leather Book" part is soloable as a lvl 35 priest via the following method:

Enter the Ruins of Alterac area via the crack in the wall as described in above posts.
Use Mind Soothe to decrease the aggro radius of the elites.
Make your way carefully to the Town Hall building without aggroing any mobs.
Once inside, you will see and probably aggro the 40 elite named Muckrake. Fear him as you run to the bookshelf. (If he resists fear, stay alive until the cooldown is up, then fear again. Repeat until it sticks.)
While Muck is being feared, quickly activate the bookshelf. You should get the book just as fear wears off.
Use your preferred method of escape.

I did this quest on my lvl 33 human warlock. It's rather simple if you have a high lvl alt/ main. I have a lvl 70 druid on the same server, and so I logged my lvl 33 lock out in front of the ruins and cleared quite a bit of the path to the schoolhouse, logged back on my lock and walked up a ways, then relogged on my druid where I cleared all the way to the schoolhouse and killed the lvl 40 elite, then relogged on my lock and grabbed the book =)

lol, isn't WoW just so much more fun when you have a 70? lol.

Thottbot의 댓글

Solo no problem. What I did was used my mana shield as I ran though, towards the schoolhouse. Hid in behind to be safe, by then everyone stopped chasing me. Used mana shield again, went inside schoolhouse, then it took about 5 or 6 tries but I managed to turn the elite in a sheep for like 4 seconds, it was enough time to grab the book. Worked first time. I died right after, however.

easy for a warlock just get behind the house right next to where the bookshelf is and use eye or killrog to right click on the bookshelf and done

34 Druid
No... I did not kill the 40 Elite, but what I did do was PROWL into the room w/ the elite, go back max range and used FAERIE FIRE(FERAL), popped DASH ran to the area behind the school house (Make sure to hug the schoolhouse wall so no other adds are pulled)

After beating the elite to the back area went into caster form and spam root until he came(For me I had 3 Resists) after rooted switch to cheetah and run to the house and quickly loot the bookcase.

If everything was done right you should loot the book with less then a second to spare. Unfortunately you will have to suffice ONE DEATH, but to finish the quest and get good xp it's a small price.

Good Luck!

Thanks to sheno especially + the other comments I completed this very easily as a 35 warlock solo, with no deaths!

Go along the road to the east of altarac, keep going north past the main gate (killing orges to get the other books)

When you get to the next wall section you'll find you can go up the mountain and get through at the southermost edge of the wall section (you can also get back out this way too - I did!)

Get to the back of the schoolhouse (one with the tower to the southwest of where you broke in) - I got attacked by a level 36 elite orge here, but just about managed to finish him before he killed me!

Now while you stand on the concrete to the back send your eye of kilrog into the main entrance. When you can see the cupboard you'll be able to loot it! No need to take on the level 40 elite!

As of August 2nd, 2007, the safe spot detailed in the screenshot still works perfectly.

If you're having trouble, just die once and res in the very corner of the wall and the railing.

Thottbot의 댓글

The safe spot at the corner inside the building near the bookcase does not work anymore.

Very simple if you have the foresight and patients.

I have a level 33 Night Elf Hunter with a level 29 Wind Serpent (the red one, not the usual brown) which is working the quest. I also have a level 53 Dwarf Warrior doing his thing in Un Goro Crater.

The Hunter used Cheetah to get as far as he could into the ruins, and being level 33, he died. He got close enuff to be able to rez inside the safe room in the school house. So with him resting safly, he signs off and I log the Warrior on and fly him into Southshore. He rides his cat to the gates of the ruins, has one fight to clear the way and runs right into the school house. He finds and defeats the elite 40 Muckrake and goes into the safe room. I log him off and bring back the Hunter with the quest. He stomps on the lifeless body of Muchrake on his way to the bookcase and gets the Worn Leather Book to go along with the 5 recovered tomes he got earlier. Then hearth to Southshore, turn in and sleep good tonight.

And that, boys and girls, is how one of your toons helps the other. Good Night!

As of 2.3 the guard is no longer elite - simply a normal level 40.

Any trick you have to stun/sap/sheep/freeze him for 5 seconds is more than enough to get the book - then run :)
The other books are a fairly low drop rate off the lvl 34-36 mobs outside strahnbrad - about 20%

Easily soloed at 33 (rogue) - could have done at 32

pretty easy quest.. if you're higher than 39 you can even try to complete 'the perenolde tiara' that is right behind this one and you only have to kill a 39 elite.
as a 36 warlock dont even needed to sacrifice the void. easy soloed it.

this was kinda easy for me, after 2.4 im lvl 33 nelf druid and i snook past all the guards and when you meet the lvl 40, turn into bear form, you should have 1800 hp to make this easier when in bear and just keep mauling him rank 3, until 1000hp than cast healing touch rank 6 than bear form and repeat :) gl

what a battle at lvl 34 hunter solo !

this one is no fighting all cunning

getting in thru the crack in the wall as stated below is a good trick but you still have bunches of lvl 39's to avoid. when you get to the building u will have to go inside cause the looting thru the wall doesnt seem to work anymore, tried that three times, ng. although if u die behind the building you can return and rezz inside it which is the thing to do. there are three rooms. the middle one is safe to rezz and reup, the book and the elite are in the last room.

finally got around inside the building. no way i could last w the elite (40?), so rezzed in the middle room, went back to just inside building entrance and set frost trap, then returned to inner room, transferred to pet w eye of beast and ran to elite, led him back to entrance, past me, to frost trap, left pet, and then ran to bookcase, just enough time to get book before he killed pet and returned and lights out, but no matter. 3550exp, not including returning books to stormwind library.
worth it from a technique pov and exp.

ps: repair bill from run :50s, outsmarting 40 elite: priceless

I killed ogres until I had the tomes..stealthed into the ruins ,into the schoolhouse (which is the first large buiding you come too...see someone's post down below for a picture of it). Sap Muckrake, open the bookshelf and get book. use Vanish to disappear from Muckrake, stealth out. Simple!

Hi,

Since 2.3 patch, the Mob in the library is no longer elite :-)

Allakhazam의 댓글

My group of 2 lvl31 paladins, a 33, and 34 paladin completely this quest without much difficulty. Just take the road north from southsore in Hillsbrad and you find the Alterac ruins. Kill the non-elite ogres wandering outside until you all have your dirty knuckles (bounty quest from marshal in Southshore) and your 5 tomes. Then take your time and single pull the elite ogres(with what we had it took a few minutes to take em down, but had the hp and mana between the 4 of us to survive easily). Cut a path to the large building still intact straight down the road. Go in, you will see a book case on the back wall...loot the Worn Leather Book and you are done. A 40 elite ogre will spawn named Mudrake. Alone we took him down in about 7 minutes just chipping away. All in all....and easy 7k quest.

Allakhazam의 댓글

First thing on this quest, if you haven't already done so, is go get the Knucklebone quest near South Shore's town hall. You're going to be killing the ogres anyway so double dip.
The Ogres just north of Tarren Mills drop both the Knucklebones and the 1st 5 books, finishing 1 quest and leaving just the one tome left to find.
After killing those ogres path around to the right and then north till you find a section of wall on the left. Here is the "crack" mentioned before.
Loc: 43,41
Not actually a crack. It's a gap between the hillside and the left end of the wall.
Go through and you're behind a tower with a mage inside. Ignore the mage, he won't agroe. With the wall at your back and the tower to the front go around left 'till you can see a schoolhouse looking building across the street. That's your target.
As a 36 Hunter, I had to kill one 36 Elite ogre to clear the path, then ran straight across the street to the right side of the schoolhouse, jumped aorund to the back and started moving cursor over the back wall. Get close to the wall and you'll see the cursor change about 2 ft. above the stone part 1 third of the way from the corner on the right.
Clicked, looted, hearthstoned out.

At level 36 I gained 3550 XP and 150 to my Stormwind Reputation.

Glitch behind the wall does not work. I entered the area from the "crack" in the wall, behind the mage in the tower.

Solo'd this as 33 human mage. Only cast 2 spells once inside the ruins- After watching the guards outside the schoolhouse and getting their pat timing down, ran across the road behind one and blink spell to get out of the guard's aggro range.
Tried for 20 minutes to get the behind the wall loot glitch to work, no luck. Walked out front and timed the patrol timing of the 2 headed guard in front of school house. Walked in, sheeped Mudrake and got the book. Took a death, and then 10 min of res sickness, but you gotta fly to SW anyhow for part 2.

Just solo'd this as a 38 NE Druid. Got the tomes while looking for something else dropping from the ogres outside the town. Stealthed through rest of Crushing Orgres etc to the schoolhouse, pulled the level 40 elite outside, entangling roots, then ran back in and got the book. Changed into travel form and RAN!

Just finished this as a lvl 34 Elf Hunter, didn't find a good way to access the house (the one facing the path from the gate) just died 2 times. somehow when in room, it is pretty easy, just as people have said about hunters, send pet, get book, healstone.

soloed as a lvl 33 druid. stealthing and getting the book from behind the wall worked like a charm. did not have to kill a single mob inside the city. If you cannot stealth go with a group or wait until you are higher lvl. You can also try some of the other suggestions mentioned by other people below.

I don't know if it was just my bad luck, but when I went to loot the book the ogre was a 40 elite... I hadn't read the tip about looting from outside but I was able to take him (I'm level 41, just doing this quest so I can get it out of my questlog.) Was he buffed or was I just unlucky enough to get him to spawn with a high level?

Very easy to solo as a lvl 33 human rogue - stealthed of course. Snailaim's pics helped and I didn't have to fight a single mob inside the ruins.

this was pretty easy as a 38 warlock, ran in through the gate directly facing the building, when I ran in there were 3 mobs, I timed it so I could run straight into the building with out gaining aggro. Muckrake attacked but my voidwalker held aggro. I looted the bookshelf ran out and once outside the house sacrificed the VW and ran out the gates.

Allakhazam의 댓글

If you are a warrior and need to do this alone, it can be done. You can go through the "crack" everyone is talking about and avoid the ogres that are around. They are spread far enough apart that you can pass between them without aggro. The schoolhouse is the largest building (it actually looks like a town hall in a normal town like Darkshire).

You can pass around the right side of the building, making a counter-clockwise approach to the entrance by hugging the walls. As you enter, charge at him to build up rage, get in a few whacks, and then use your Intimidating Shout. This should stun him for a good amount of time (make sure you click OFF of him so you do not attack him, thereby cancelling the stun). Take the book from the shelf, hamstring him, and proceed back out the way you came in.

Although everyone has excellent (if similar and repetitive) stories, there is very little here in the way of helpful direction. I found the yeti cave, but had absolutely no idea what or where either the ruins or this elusive 'crack in the wall' may be. The coords of 43,41 seems to put a person in the middle of nowhere and combined with Yeti cave references make many people think this is in Hillsbrad. So here goes; after receiving the book retrieval quest from Loremaster Dibbs in Southshore head North (by road). You should be lev 33 or more (WAY more preferred) to do this quest. On your way north kill as many ogres as it takes you to get the 5 books then take the road all the way north to the gate of the Ruins. There are several elites guarding the entrance, but if you head just to right (off road) and around the hill, the coords of 43,41 now make sense and you will be able to hop the wall into town. Either sneak, play frogger with the patrolling ogres, or rez rush to get to the main hall. Sap, distract, sheep, pet attack, or other inventive means occupy the large lv 40 while you get the book from the bookshelf (about 15 seconds). When you die, take the graveyard rez and turn in the quest. Gratz your done. Until the next quest....

- Preserving Knowledge and Crushridge Bounty work in conjunction.

- Kill the non elites first during Crushridge Bounty. They drop both the knuckles and tomes.

- When you go inside the elite zone, keep running. Die once or twice running into the schoolhouse. You don't need to bother with the elites at all.

- Mages, Druids, Hunters, and a few others who have stuns, freeze traps, or grapples can neutralize the guardian inside the schoolhouse (note the schoolhouse in Westfall for "The Legend of Stalvan" is the same schoolhouse here). Just don't do it from the bookshelf in the far back at the podium. That's where the book is.

- You have five seconds to grab the book from the shelf. So don't waste time because the traps go away fast.

----

- After you turn in both quests, you have to kill Warmongers where you will need a group to slay them all. They surround the schoolhouse.

Run trough the camp. Try to avoid getting seen. Even if you get seen, keep running until you reach the point 38,46 (the back-left corner of the building with the bookcase). If you die here it's no big deal. Just run there and ressurect. From that point you can open the bookcase through the wall! Use Hearthstone back if you have it loaded.

I have to say this was one of the EASIEST quests in the whole game. I killed 9 ogres to get the Tomes and ran into the ruins and snuck around to the back of the building where the final book is and reached through the wall and got it. The whole quest took 15 minutes (most of that was running to and from Southshore). Thanks for the easy one Blizzard!

I solo the leather book in the self at mage level 36.
I simply ran as far in the ruins as i could & rezz back inside the school.
In the small chamber right next to the hall were the bookcase is.
You will be out of sight the time to reg. back.
I polymorph the dude in a sheep & took the book.
Re-polymorph him to ran outside in direction of goblin on the wall.
Died on my way, but rezz back on top of the wall to by the special recipee from the troll who sells only every so often.

I only post this because this was an accomplishment for me. I sorta accidentally found where this quest was when doing the knuckle thing. And after killing my first 36 elite was like "crap...they are all elites" and figured why not. Only had to use potion once when a 36 and 37 were attacking. I'm a L38 hunter, and it's not hard if you have patience and pick them off. also the building on right when you are facing the big huge castle thing, is where you wanna go, looks like a townhall. If you have pets or something to distract the L40, use it and run past. The bookshelf by the stairs on the right is where the thing is. Then, either hearth out, or kill the 40. I opted to kill the hearth. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. ^_^

The ogres in Alterac are no longer elites. They are pretty tough considering how tightly packed they are, but it's pretty easy to pick them off if you're careful

- kept corpse running up towards the corner the bookshelf is closest to
- rezzed, drank mana potion, sheeped muckrake (sp?), looted bookshelf for book, hearthed out

Don't go in the ruins from the Yetis, its a long run and not all of us can stealth or fake a heart attack.
Instead go north of the ruins, through crushridge hold area. Get in from the crack in the wall there, it's shorter.
In patch 1.11 the loophole still works and its ingenious.
Didn't need any sacrifice voidwalker or any class specific tricks.

Soloed as a 36 lock. Had to kill a 37 elite on the way.
Cake.

I soloed it as a 43(holy) priest no prob. I walked right through the front door and killed the fat dude (Muckrake) with no prob. He didn't drop anything nice but he did give me 1000 xp points for killing him. :) Then i farted in his face cause he was a little annoying. He likes to disarm you or stop you from casting shadow or holy cast (one or the other but not both) some how. Anyway, that trick through the wall really is no good anymore so don't try. If your looking to solo the quest you better be able to stop muckrake somehow (sheep or something) otherwise you will have to kill him. He had about 4200 hp(elite) to give you an idea. It would be best to do it with at least 2 people if you cant sheep or stun or something. If your good then solo, get all the xp and loot you want. :)Good quest, it was pretty fun.

Soloed as a 35 druid but it took a few tries.
Started as bear + enrage, ran in, used bash, then unbearformed and ran to just barely outside the door just in time to cast roots on him, I aggroed a caster as well but was able to run back inside and shift click the bookcase just in time.
Died on the way out, and sure it wasn't the smoothest way to do it but am still happy to have finished this quest.

Allakhazam의 댓글

Easy as a 39 priest. Slipped in through the gap in the wall and avoided the patrols. Once inside the schoolhouse i used pyschic scream which kept the 40 elite off me just long enough to grab the book, bubble and run out. Didn't die once despite being a squishy :)

No way did some of these people who say they did it at say lvl 33 did.

I solo'd it at lvl 38 shaman.

The level 40 elite is very hard, he hits 100+ and disarms. I had to use a health potion, all my mana and a damage absorbing bubble and still only just did it. Layed strength of earth, searing and health totems.

Also did with nice gear, 5 or 6 blues, lots of enchants and bonebiter weapon.

Well as a Warrior (no sealth or pet) I did this at 43. Simply take out the elites outside one at a time. Don't use any of your abilities with long cool downs, you'll need em. Get inside rest, use any scrolls and well-fed food you have. I did it with agility II, Stamina II and +8sta food. During the fight I used retaliation, sheild wall, and last stand and used a superior heal pot. I won w/ 60 hp left. I dont have the best gear, so some may do it easier.

Did this as a lvl 33 druid. Get the book thru the wall of the building - that way you don't have to fight the high level mob. Go to the back of the building and watch your cursur as you pass it over the building wall. You can get the book without going into the building! If you're higher level then go in and beat the mobs but for lower level folk this is a better way.

Though it's an elite quest, this is solo'able as a Rogue. I killed the non-elite ogres easily for the 5 tombs. Afterwards, I just stealthed past the elite ogres all the way until I reached the last quest item (It's in a house; see Cdubbs' guide).

Then all I did was Distract + Sap the lv40 elite ogre, ran to the bookcase and loot the book. I used Vanish to remove all aggro from that ogre. Then just stealth back past the elite mobs and go back to Southshore. If your sap missed, run a bit, Vanish, and wait 5 minutes for the cooldown timer and just retry.

I solo'ed it as lv36 Rogue, was a fun quest.

I was really confused about where to enter the ruins and where this "crack in the wall" is. The loc is 43,41. You have to enter the ruins through the northernmost part, by Crushridge Hold and Slaughter Hollow. Once you get over the wall you are in an area with no ogres

Yep, it's true. =( The glitch to get the tome from behind the school building is gone.

Allakhazam의 댓글

The weakest ogres in the Alterac Ruins are 37 or 38 elites (Enforcers). Just because you got the quest in your mid-20s doesn't mean you can complete it right away.

I was in Alterac to get the named Ogre Mage (something "the Miser") for the Perenholde Tiara quest at lvl 44 (meant to do it earlier but got busy in STV doing other quests and collecting ore for my Mithril Order quests). I knew where "the Miser" wandered (having seen him earlier when I was doing the "Preserving Knowledge" quest). I was fighting an Enforcer (still tedious at my level, but no danger of dying) when this lvl 32 Dwarf paladin comes up to me, AS I'M STILL FIGHTING, and asks "where's the schoolhouse"? Oh, I'm not busy or anything...
I say, "just a sec", which prompts him to start hitting the ogre (it was at >20% hit points anyways). Ogre dies and I point at the area where the book is (I actually think it is supposed to be a "city hall" not a schoolhouse (same layout as other city halls (like Darkshire))).
I go around the right to wait for "the Miser" and the dwarf goes left. About 3 seconds later I hear the "mua-ha-haaa" of an attacking ogre. So I go back and sure enough, he aggroed an enforcer - from the other side of the building! He's beating feet (he'll never make it, there are at least 8 ogres between him and the broken gates, or in any direction to be honest), so I jump the ogre and taunt it (Righteous Defense). To his credit, the dwarf sticks around and heals me as I kill the ogre. Then I figure, he's just going to get smooshed if I don't help so I say "follow me". I lead him into the city hall and fight Muckrake (he heals me as before) then I show him the bookcase to click on. He gets the book and we head out. He aggros ANOTHER enforcer before he even gets out of the building. I go and kill that one. Then we leave the building and I say, "you are drawing tons of aggro here. maybe you should go". Not getting the hint, he says "I'm just trying to learn my way around". I go "ok" and head off to the church or whatever where the ogre Targ hangs out ("the Miser" walks past there on his patrol). Never saw the dwarf again but I'm guessing that a quick bloody death, followed by a long run back his corpse and a hearthing out were in his future. I didn't know him from Adam, so I figure I had done more than enough already (more than anybody had ever done for me).

Solo'd as a level 36 NE Warrior--sort of. I made it past the ogres, getting the tomes along the way, but once I got into the ruins I was lucky that some other groups were killing the elites. I walked into the building with the book and saw the level 40 guy standing there--all of the sudden a lvl 39 horde guy stealthed in and started attacking. We killed the thing, and the horde guy didn't seem to want the book, so I just grabbed it and went on my way! :)

Simple quest really if you are a NE hunter. Or if you're just quick in general. I saw a war going down so I decided to take the advantage and run past everybody like Forrest Gump and run the heck out. Needless to say that was the easiest Elite quest I have ever done. Can't miss the building that the book is in. Straight ahead and the bookshelf is on the far wall. How you get out is at your own discretion. Psssst. Hearthstone!

Me: Level 36 Night Elf Druid alt

Also did this as a then-level-39 (now 60) Paladin

Walkthrough:
1. Normal non-elite ogres in Alterac drop the Recovered Tome.

2. For the Worn Leather Book, the coords are 39, 48 in the Alterac Mountains. You DO NOT need to fight any elite ogres to get this, provided you time it correctly.

2a. Enter the Ruins of Alterac by following the path that leads around to the northwest from the Growless Cave (where Horde fight the named Yeti).

2b. You can get into the ruins by walking up a hill and over a crack in the wall.

2c. Much like certain tower flags in the Alterac Valley, you can access the bookcase from outside by pressing up against the outside schoolhouse wall and moving your mouse around.

No elite ogre battle necessary. Stealth or blink certainly helps to get around the ogres just inside the Ruins of Alterac wall, as you enter from the Growless Cave path, but it isn't strictly necessary.

I just did this as a lvl 46 Pally, was really easy, i killed a few of the elites to get the worn books, and the named book was a fight with one lvl 40 named elite, would be a peice of cake for a small two or three man grp as low as 32

- The tomes are off the non-elites. I completed it off of that and the Crushridge Bounty of the knuckles.
- On finding the Worn Leather Book I prowled through the maze of ogres to the schoolhouse. There I found one guarding the bookshelf. I spooked him to the outside, used my entangle roots, and then ran back to the bookshelf in time to get the book before he killed me. Then I just used the spirit healer to save the trouble of escaping again.

Allakhazam의 댓글

I soloed it at 36. you wanna know how? I went in there and DIED, Res'ed, Feared him and grabbed the book. After all of that, I let him kill me again. Let the spirit healer do her job, and got 3.5k xp. Woot.

all i really did was use aspect of the beast and run inside house then had my pet attack the orge and i grabbed the book and ran out

Allakhazam의 댓글

Just completed as a level 32 Arms/Fury warrior.

I ran into the town in Defensive, and died in the school house. Then I spirit ran back to the body, rezzed, bandaged, and used blood rage. I attacked the level 40 (now non-elite) and waited until I had 25 rage. I popped intimidating shout, and proceeded to grab the book.

Hearth->Turn in->Success

As a drood all i did was turn on track humanoid, find the building with Mudrake in it, go in, cast regrowth and rejuvenation on myself, aggro Mudrake ran outside, root him, ran back in, looted the book, regrowth & rejuv again, ran back out, went cat form dash teh hell out of there then went travel form and ran for my life.. being lv 37 it was fairly easy

Allakhazam의 댓글

I soloed this one at level 37 Hunter,

It's easy, just pas the front door through the crack, then run until u can no more, try to seek out a nice spot to Fake Die, then ress and wait for your Fake die to be enabled again, i than just ran to the house opposit to the gate, on the back side just go as far as you can get behind the house and get the book from behind the wall through the wall like the other guy posted it works again... guess sometimes an update un-does some other fixes :P

good xp i guess, gonna deliver it later.

Allakhazam의 댓글

Did this quest at level 32 ( frost mage ) ran in and sheeped, got the book and was done :)

Allakhazam의 댓글

Also soloable as a lvl 33 hunter. Simply snuck my way through, without stealth mind you, until I could peak around the corner to see the named ogre. Had my bear distract him, grabbed the book, and hearthstoned out. Didn't even lose the bear. Creativity... creativity.

Allakhazam의 댓글

Where is the school house... heck.. where are the ruins?

Allakhazam의 댓글

Phew, just solo'd this as a 34 rouge, wasn't too bad, just gets the heart racing, get to the schoolhouse stealthed, get in there and sap the dude loot the bookshelf and vanish. Easier than i though it would be ^_^

Allakhazam의 댓글

Completed with a 35 pally and 36 druid pretty easily. Got the 3500 XP plus lots of great loot and XP from the mobs. worth doing with the crushridge line of quests as they are in the same area.

Allakhazam의 댓글

Solo'd as a level 33 shaman, i ran to 43,41. There is a gap between a building and hill that you can jump through. Watch the patrolling enforcer, then run across. Don't worry about the named in the house. Then just watch the patrol in front of the school house and then run in.

Unless you have a way to draw aggro away from yourself it gets hard here. A level 40 elite ogre. I used a stoneclaw totem which lasted just long enough for me to grab the book. I did die on the way out as i was running, but reincarnation was up so it was fine.

Allakhazam의 댓글

this is very easy to get if you are a warlock you can kinda see were to locate it if you look on the map of this person http://i.www.wowhead.com/wotlk/search?q=s/o/7917.jpg just go onto a spot on the map were there is no orcs then use sacrife with void then run in and get the book just fear anything thats following you so it does not disturb u while u get it if u r demo lock it can be easyer just use fel domination if ur shield runs out and get another void out and sac. it this should give u enough time to run in grab it and run out you might die but at least u got the book it worked for me and im a demo lock and i didnt die at all.

The building wasn't as obvious to me because I came in what is apparently the back way from the west :P. The bookcase is at 38,46 in the back room of the building - it is the same style building as the schoolhouse in Moonbrook (for those of you that did the Stalvan series.)

Allakhazam의 댓글

The same as Socialism but I was lvl 33

Allakhazam의 댓글

Can anyone tell me what levels the normal mobs are and what level the elite mob is? Working on the quest now.

Allakhazam의 댓글

3550 XP at 35, 150 Stormwind Faction. I dinged with Gnomeragan Exiles as well although it was not listed. When I checked two hours ago I needed 5 more faction to ding Gnomeragon so its not much.

my post below refers just to the last book, the others dropped easily around the ruins about 1/3 kills

Allakhazam의 댓글

Just did it and soloed it as a lvl 38 druid. At first I used the trick and got it from behind the wall, then I went inside and after a couple tries managed to take that elite down somehow. It was close, I thought I only barely managed to beat him, and if it wasn't for druid's versatility. I'd say you need to be at least 39-40 to take him normally. But he irritated me so I was stubborn in trying a couple times till I did. I used a few items though.

Allakhazam의 댓글

Solo'd this at level 38. Paladin. Just have to be careful with his disarming. It makes it for a longer and harder battle. You'll have to wait out the disarm because as a paladin you have nothing better to do. Consecration and make sure to Judgement of the Crusader to make him easier to deal damage to with Seal of Command and Consecration. Doesn't attack fast enough to make self-healing ineffective so do it. Other than that, no drops from my adventure.

Allakhazam의 댓글

Stealthed to the house and when I walked in, he spotted me. Used Blind on him, grabbed the book and Vanished. Easy ;)

Easy solo as a druid. Aggro the elite inside and then run outside. Entangling roots the elite, then shift into cat and dash inside to the bookcase. Be careful of the ogres just outside.

CLASSIC: Read the highest rated by peeweesweden from 2006/09/19 (Patch 1.12.0). It is still accurate. Goto the south edge of the Dalaran bubble, the due east, up the grassy slope, now around clock-wise (turn left) until the second wall of Alterec. Enter on the left edge, and the building you want is the first against the hillside that is on your left side. It has the belltower, and is the "standard" cityhall building, seen thoughout Alliance lands.

I am a Hunter. I went in and let my pet take the Lvl 40 elite. Had to Feign Death to lose his agro. Then I looted the book and ran out. Pet died but I got the book. It is on the bookshelf; right-click and loot it.

Testmistress의 댓글

Soloable as Druid using Entangling Roots in Classic. Using cat form, sneak into the building with bookcase and Muckrake (lvl 40 elite). In the outer room, unstealth, cast regrowth on yourself, and then walk into the main room to draw his agro (do not hit him, just let him see you) and hightail it outside the front entrance. Once outside, cast Entangling Roots on him, then go back inside and get the book. Put yourself back into cat form and run like heck cause he'll no longer be in the roots and will be after you. The regrowth you cast on yourself should keep you healed enough to make a clean break away from him and any of the other elite mobs you may run into on your way out.

As a 39 dwarf hunter, crept past all & got into the entrance, sent pet to attack the 40 elite, looted the bookcase as it was busy & hearthed back to SS before pet died.

Quest -is- able to be solo'd in classic by 34 Paladins, regardless of bugfixes and no bubble looting. You will likely need 2/2 Pursuit of Justice in the ret tree, and Rank 2 Hammer of Justice learned from trainer (4 second stun).

It took me a couple tries to figure out how to solo this. You take the same path as others have mentioned, entering through the west, traveling past the yeti groups. Once you enter the damaged wall, run up the wall towards the mountain on the left. Stick to it and you can avoid the first elite mob. The second one will aggro you, stay to the left and jump through the crack, sticking to the walls of the house to not aggro anything else and it'll exit combat with you as you get inside.

Once inside the house, you have one possible play (without grenades which I didn't try because I'm not an engineer). Aggro the 40 elite and backpedal into the other room. Hammer of Justice the mob while running to the books. 2/2 Pursuit of Justice talents (+8% move speed) gave me just enough time to loot the book before I got hit from behind. If he resists, you'll have to either tank him for a full minute to try again or run out of the house to the left and reset.

As a level 34 mage, with lots of trial and error, I just soloed this quest. (4/5/2021) I died inside the room, ran back and then

1. Moved onto the stage up and moved against the wall with the book shelf.
2. I then got between the guard rail of the stage and the wooden column separating you from the book shelf (still huddled against the wall)
3. You should be able to select the bookshelf from this location. Now watch the mob and you will see him shifting around in a small area. When he moves farthest away from you (it may take a couple of minutes to figure out what that is) rez and collect the book.
4. Leave by your preferred technique.

I am really curious to see if this works for anyone else.

The Worn Leather Book is no longer obtainable from outside the house.
As a rogue, I sapped Muckrake and didn't realize I would have time to hearth. He started hitting me as soon as I ran. But I was able to run to the back of the house and hearth from there.

Wimbleton의 댓글

When I got there today, Muckrake was / is no longer an elite. Dumb luck? Maybe but it certainly makes that whole group of quests a bit easier.

For those without coords, its in the town hall style building in the Ruins of Alterac straight ahead if you come in from the road and gate. Level 40 non-elite ogre inside to kill.

PriestJohnBig의 댓글

Just did this as duo 25lvl in Season of Discovery preparing for phase 2.

1x Prot Pala (51% physical dmg reduction from armor and ~1900hp) & 1x Disc Priest.

Took some time tanking and spanking. 34 lvl ogres were showing as red of course but were killable. 35+ were showing as skull, took some more time but still killable. Don't go if you don't have a decent shield, each hit is a crushing blow or critical.

Drop rate for me was somewhere between 35%-40% so took a couple of hours to do on both.

For the last part, traveled all the way around the mountains and entered from the side, then ran in the city hall and died. Corpse ran back, had pala tank the elite boss in the room until priest looted the book. Lucky fear from the priest on the boss, pala looted too. Died and got res sickness in Southshore. Quest done. Waiting to turn in during SoD phase 2 for some sweet XP.

Most of these comments, except giving coordinates, are totally useless! A druid at level 36 stand no chance of rooting this guy, He will interrupt you or resist. In addition there is a wandering mauler (not sure if that's something new) you have to be on a lookout for. He seems to be on a 2 minute round where most of the round is within aggro range from the door where you're supposed to root him. Get to a level where he won't be able to resist your roots on a regular basis anymore before trying this as a druid. I'm guessing the same is true for other classes using any sort of root.

AND, YOU CAN NOT GET THE BOOK TROUGH THE WALL ANYMORE!
