Scarlet Monastery: Library
Boss order, key drops and quests for the Library wing of Scarlet Monastery, from the Classic Era database database (Classic Era baseline). Back to the Scarlet Monastery guide. Other wings: Graveyard · Armory · Cathedral.
Bosses in their original Classic Era listing order for this wing.
Library bosses (Classic Era baseline)
| Boss | Top drops (Classic Era rate) |
|---|---|
| Houndmaster Loksey | Loksey's Training Stick (14%) |
| Arcanist Doan | Hypnotic Blade (48%), Illusionary Rod (47%) |
Key drops (Classic Era baseline)
Rare and epic boss drops with the best Classic Era drop rates. Blizzard has re-examined dungeon loot for Forever, so this is the original table, not a promise.
Arcanist Doan · 48% · req. level 34
Arcanist Doan · 47% · req. level 34
Houndmaster Loksey · 14% · req. level 31
Scarlet Monastery Library quests (Classic Era baseline)
Quests whose Classic Era objectives name a boss in this wing or an item one of them drops.

| Quest | Level (req.) | Faction | Quest giver | Giver's zone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In the Name of the Light | 40 (34) | Raleigh the Devout | Hillsbrad Foothills | |
| Into The Scarlet Monastery | 42 (33) | Varimathras | Undercity |
Boss profiles (Classic Era baseline)
| Boss | Level | Type | Abilities (Classic Era) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Houndmaster Loksey | 34 | Elite | Bloodlust |
| Arcanist Doan | 37 | Elite | Silence, Arcane Explosion, Detonation, Arcane Bubble, Polymorph |
Houndmaster Loksey is the wing's first boss and one of Scarlet Monastery's four leaders. Third-party coverage notes that he trains the Scarlet Crusade's hounds, so expect dogs near him. Arcanist Doan is the last boss. His kit is mostly spells: he silences, polymorphs and does arcane damage around himself, so casters and healers need to watch their positioning.

Quest rewards from this wing (Classic Era baseline)
Both leader quests ask you to kill Loksey along with leaders in other wings, so you'll come back to this wing more than once.
| Quest | Faction | Reward choices |
|---|---|---|
| In the Name of the Light | Sword of Serenity, Bonebiter, Black Menace, Orb of Lorica | |
| Into The Scarlet Monastery | Sword of Omen, Prophetic Cane, Dragon's Blood Necklace |
The Library's book quests (Classic Era baseline)
Several quests ask you to bring back a book. None of their objectives name a boss, so they aren't in the table above. Third-party player notes say the books are found in the Library.
| Quest | Level (req.) | Faction | Giver | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mythology of the Titans | 38 (28) | Librarian Mae Paledust, Ironforge | Explorers' League Commendation | |
| Compendium of the Fallen | 38 (28) | Sage Truthseeker, Thunder Bluff | Vile Protector, Forcestone Buckler or Omega Orb | |
| Test of Lore | 36 (26) | Parqual Fintallas, Undercity | Continues the chain (find Beginnings of the Undead Threat) | |
| Rituals of Power | 40 (30) | Both | Starts with Magus Tirth; the book goes to Tabetha in Dustwallow Marsh | Continues the chain |

What Forever changes in every dungeon (Blizzard)
Blizzard hasn't posted notes for this wing yet, but its dungeon-wide changes apply here too:
Every dungeon drop was re-examined. Boss-unique items are now blue and set bonuses were improved. See [dungeon loot changes](/dungeons/loot-changes).
Dungeon kills give about 20% more XP (8 Oct). Dungeon quests give 50% less bonus XP (1 Oct).
Various dungeon quest rewards dropped from Rare to Uncommon, with stats adjusted to match (8 Oct).
Dungeons stay tactical. Crowd control, threat and careful target focus still matter, and Blizzard says to use AoE only when it's safe.
Forever status
Blizzard hasn't published wing-by-wing changes for Scarlet Monastery in Forever. Bosses, drops and quests above are Classic Era baseline. Any Forever change is [Unconfirmed] until Blizzard posts it.
How this page is checked
Wing boss lists come from the Classic Era database's Scarlet Monastery zone page. Drops come from each boss's Classic Era database page, filtered to rare or better with a 3%+ drop rate and only Classic Era items listed. Quests are matched to a wing when their Classic Era objectives name one of its bosses or that boss's loot. Checked 3 Nov 2026 (AEDT). Updated 3 Nov 2026.
