Warlock Infernal and Doomguard quests (Classic Era baseline)
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
Warlocks get two big summoning spells from class quests. At level 50, a three-step chain from Niby the Almighty and his imp Impsy in Felwood ends with you killing the elite demon Kroshius and learning Inferno. At level 60, Daio the Decrepit in the Blasted Lands sends you to Dire Maul and Winterspring, then has you trap a Doomguard Commander to learn Ritual of Doom. Everything below is the Classic Era baseline. Forever changes are covered in their own section.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What Niby Commands | 50 (50) | Sharable | Niby the Almighty → Impsy | — | — |
| Flawless Fel Essence | 55 (50) | Sharable | Impsy → Impsy | 5,650 | 3g 39s |
| Kroshius' Infernal Core | 55 (50) | Elite, not sharable | Impsy → Niby | 7,050 | 4g 23s |

Sharable means another warlock in your party can pick up the step from you. The other classes in your group can still help you kill things, but only warlocks can take the quests.
Part 1: Inferno (level 50, Felwood)
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
Niby the Almighty (level 56) and Impsy (level 56 demon) stand together in Felwood, around 41.4 to 41.6, 44.8.
- What Niby Commands. Talk to Niby. He passes you straight over to Impsy, standing next to him.
- Flawless Fel Essence. Impsy wants three essences, one from each of three demon groups in three different zones. They are listed below. All three essences are "progressive loot", meaning the drop rate rises once you're on the quest, and every member of a group can loot one.
| Essence | Drops from | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Flawless Fel Essence (Jaedenar) | Jaedenar Legionnaire (level 55 to 60) | Jaedenar, Felwood. Spawns around 36.2, 55.4 and 36.6, 46.4 |
| Flawless Fel Essence (Azshara) | Legashi Satyr, Legashi Rogue, Legashi Hellcaller (level 51 to 53) | Northern Azshara, around 50.4, 19.4 |
| Flawless Fel Essence (Dark Portal) | Felguard Sentry (level 54 to 55) | Near the Dark Portal, Blasted Lands, around 53.4, 54.2 |
the listed raw drop samples for the Legashi demons look very low (well under 1%). That's because they count kills by players who aren't on the quest, so the real rate on the quest is higher. Expect to clear a few packs anyway. The Felguard Sentries have the best sample of the three.
What Inferno does
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
| Detail | Classic Era (tooltip) |
|---|---|
| Requires | Warlock, level 50 |
| Cost and cast | 100% of base mana, 2 sec cast, 30 yd range, 1 hour cooldown |
| Reagent | Infernal Stone |
| Effect | A meteor deals 200 Fire damage and stuns enemies in the area for 2 sec. The Infernal fights for you for 5 min. Once control ends you must Subjugate it again. Outdoors only |
Infernal Stones and Demonic Figurines are sold by reagent vendors in the capital cities and many towns. There are 37 vendors for each. Treat the Infernal as a burst tool for outdoor fights. When control runs out it turns on you, so plan to Enslave it again or be out of range.
Part 2: Ritual of Doom (level 60, Blasted Lands)
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
Daio the Decrepit (level 60) lives in the Tainted Scar in the western Blasted Lands, around 34.0, 50.2. All three of his quests start and end with him.
- The Prison's Bindings. Bring 15 Satyr Blood. It drops from the Wildspawn satyrs (Wildspawn Satyr, Rogue, Trickster, Betrayer, Felsworn, Shadowstalker and Hellcaller, all elite, level 55 to 57) in Dire Maul's Warpwood Quarter. This step is Dungeon-tagged, so take a group.
- Suppression. Daio gives you the Glowing Crystal Prison, which is not used up. Use it on a Doomguard Commander (level 61 elite) in the southern Tainted Scar, around 32.2 to 33.2, 62.4 to 69.0. The quest text warns that the demon "will focus on nothing but you" while it tries to escape, and Daio recommends bringing companions who can keep you alive. A healer is the important part. Bring the Imprisoned Doomguard back to Daio.
Both drop items are progressive loot that every group member can loot, like the essences.
What Ritual of Doom does
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
| Detail | Classic Era (tooltip) |
|---|---|
| Requires | Warlock, level 60 |
| Cost and cast | 100% of base mana, 10 sec cast, 1 hour cooldown |
| Reagent | Demonic Figurine |
| Participants | You plus 4 party members who right-click the portal and don't move |
| Effect | Sacrifices a random participant to summon a doomguard, which must be subjugated at once or it attacks the group |
The Tome of Sacrifice differs in Forever. Lists +8 Stamina and "Restores 6 health per 5 sec." the listed tooltip, checked 3 Nov 2026, lists +12 Stamina, 12 health per 5 sec and up to +13 Shadow damage. The card above shows the Forever tooltip. Shard of the Green Flame is identical in both databases.
The grimoire shortcut
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
You don't have to do the quests to learn the spells. There are two books that teach them: - Grimoire of Inferno (requires level 50, binds when picked up) drops from the Scarshield Warlock in Blackrock Spire. The listed sample shows it in about 7.5% of recorded kills. - Grimoire of Doom (requires level 60, binds when picked up) drops from Dreadlords and Doomguard Commanders in the Blasted Lands. The listed sample shows about 5% from each.
The quests still give the off-hand rewards and the XP, so most warlocks do them anyway.
Where the quest givers are
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
Horde and Alliance
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
Nothing changes between factions. Niby, Impsy and Daio are friendly to both, and all six quests are listed as both factions. The only difference is the trip to the Blasted Lands. Alliance warlocks can fly to Nethergarde Keep in the zone itself, while Horde warlocks usually fly to Stonard in the Swamp of Sorrows and ride south.
WoW Forever notes
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
- Not doable in the beta. Blizzard's beta notes say "Players can now level up to a maximum of level 30." Both chains need level 50 or 60, so you can't test them until the level cap is raised.
- XP. The notes say "Dungeon quests now reward 50% less extra experience beyond normal quest values." The Prison's Bindings is Dungeon-tagged, so it may pay less than the 6,600 shown above. Exact Forever XP is.
- Tome of Sacrifice buff. See the stat comparison above. Final Forever stats may still change.
FAQ
What level is the warlock Infernal quest? It requires level 50. The first step is level 50, the other two are level 55.
Can I solo Kroshius? He's a level 55 elite and the quest is tagged Elite. Impsy's quest text tells you to bring friends, and a group is the safe choice. Whether you can solo him depends on your level and gear.
Do I need a 5-player group for Ritual of Doom? Yes. The tooltip needs the caster plus 4 more party members at the portal, and one of them is sacrificed.
Where do I buy Infernal Stones and Demonic Figurines? From reagent vendors. There are 37 vendors for each, including ones in Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, Orgrimmar and the Undercity. [Unconfirmed]
