A five-quest Horde chain from Nathanos Blightcaller at the Marris Stead in Eastern Plaguelands. Every step is level 60 and needs level 56. You run an errand to Varimathras in the Undercity, kill a courier and walk into Tyr's Hand in disguise. Then you hunt down the Scarlet Crusade's Oracle on the road. (Blizzard's beta notes don't mention this chain).

Steps

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

XP, money and reputation are the values on each quest's page. All steps are level 60, so if you do them at the level cap The XP into extra money instead: 39s, 3g 96s, 3g 96s, 1g 98s and 4g 98s for steps 1 to 5. Nathanos' Ruse shows no reputation.

What each step asks

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

1. The Call to Command (6144). Travel to the Undercity and speak with Varimathras. It's a travel step with no fighting.
2. Nathanos' Ruse (6146). Nathanos gives you Nathanos' Chest, a quest item you right-click to open. It holds the doctored command and the Rotten Apple. The apple has 5 charges and reads "Use to disguise yourself as a member of the Scarlet Crusade." The quest says to travel to Tyr's Hand, south-east of the Marris Stead, eat the apple once you cross into the city, and hand the command to Crusader Lord Valdelmar.
3. Return to Nathanos (6147). Valdelmar tells you the Oracle will be on her way to Stratholme shortly. Take the news back to Nathanos.
4. The Scarlet Oracle, Demetria (6148). The quest text says that somewhere along the road from Tyr's Hand to Stratholme you'll find Demetria and her entourage. Kill her ("Demetria slain") and return to Nathanos to choose a reward.

Finding the Courier and the Oracle (the patrol road)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Neither target stands still. Has 456 logged positions for the Crimson Courier and 442 for Demetria, and they trace the same road. The Courier's range runs from about 26–88 across and 16–86 down; Demetria's from about 20–86 and 18–85. Read together, that's the road from the Stratholme end of the zone in the north-west, east across the north, then south down to Tyr's Hand in the south-east corner. It fits the quest text: the Crusade sends a daily report from its central command to Tyr's Hand, and Demetria is said to be moving out of Tyr's Hand towards Stratholme.

Don't look for a pin. Because both NPCs patrol, any single coordinate would be misleading, so neither is pinned on the map above. Pick a stretch of the road and wait rather than chasing. How often each one respawns is.

Group and elite note

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

• The Crimson Courier is a level 60 elite. A well-geared level 60 may handle it alone, but at 56 to 59 bring help.
• Sharing. Steps 3 and 5 can't be shared. Everyone who wants the reward has to do the whole chain from 6144.
• Tyr's Hand is full of Scarlet Crusade NPCs. Valdelmar is a level 60 elite logged at 22 spots inside the town. The apple disguise is what lets you walk in and talk to him.

Rewards (Classic Era baseline, choose one)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

All three are rare (blue) quality, item level 62 and bind when picked up. Step 5 also pays 1g 80s and 150 Undercity reputation. Logs a Righteous Orb on about 13% of Demetria kills.

WoW Forever notes

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

• Level cap. Blizzard's beta notes say "Players can now level up to a maximum of level 30." This chain needs level 56, so it needs the live game.
• XP and rewards. These aren't dungeon quests. The notes also mention "Adjusted experience values on various quests" and "A number of quests have had their rewards updated to be the correct item level." Whether either touches this chain is.
