Quest Order Inside the Keep
wowf.io's guide runs the objectives in this order. The cell after Rethilgore matters most, because that NPC opens the courtyard door.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: wowf.io: Shadowfang Keep guide, Route; checked Nov 8, 2026.
Swipe sideways to see all columns.
| Stop | What to do | Quest |
|---|---|---|
| Rethilgore's cells | Free Deathstalker Adamant, or Sorcerer Ashcrombe for Alliance | Deathstalkers in Shadowfang |
| Courtyard | Find Deathstalker Vincent and turn in | Deathstalkers in Shadowfang |
| Courtyard stables | Collect Jordan's Hammer | The Test of Righteousness |
| Commander Springvale | Objective stop for the Warlock quest | The Orb of Soran'ruk |
| Lower Observatory, after Fenrus | Pick up the Book of Ur | The Book of Ur |
| Lord Godfrey's Chamber | Kill Archmage Arugal for his head | Arugal Must Die |
Kami Labs logged the Head of Arugal at 47.7% over 241 kills, which may include kills by players without the quest. wowf.io marks the horses in the stables as three elites that pull together, so clear them right after Rethilgore.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Kami Labs: Shadowfang Keep, Archmage Arugal; wowf.io: Shadowfang Keep guide, Fel Steed and Shadow Charger; checked Nov 8, 2026.
The Test of Righteousness also asks for Whitestone Oak Lumber, Bailor's Refined Ore Shipment and a Kor Gem, so a Paladin needs more than this dungeon. The Orb of Soran'ruk asks for 3 Soran'ruk Fragments and 1 Large Soran'ruk Fragment.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: wowf.io: Shadowfang Keep guide, Dungeon quests; checked Nov 8, 2026.

Fit the Quests Into Your Route
The two Sepulcher quests sit in Silverpine Forest, close to the keep. The Book of Ur needs a stop in Undercity first, so take it while you are in town.
For a full leveling route around these stops, see the RestedXP Forever guide, the Zygor guide, or the Zygor vs RestedXP comparison.
