This quest is easily soloable as lvl 34, regardless of your class. I've done it as rogue, druid, warrior and hunter. As rogue and druid it's of course easier, since you have stealth, but the way you do it is basically the same:

Enter the ruins from the WEST, not on the road. Go to the Growless cave (38,68) and continue around the ruins clock-wise. There are some lvl 32-34 yetis roaming there, no big deal. Avoid or crush. When you are directly west of the ruins you will see a part of the wall with a hole in it. Enter there and very very carefully negotiate the ogres in there. They are 38-39 elites. I walk along the northern-most mountainside inside the compound. Your goal is *not* the main building, but the smaller house with a belltower. There is one ogre that'll probably aggro on you. If he does, run behind the target building and continue along the mountainside until he drops, or simply stand behind the house and let him smash you. Resurrect on that spot, behind the house.
From above, the house looks like a "T" with a short base.

X marks the spot you're looking for. Move the cursor along the wall until you see it shift into the "use"-cursor. That's the bookshelf you're looking for. Simply right-click it to get the book, right through the house wall! Negotiate your way out from the compaund the way you came. If you get aggro, make a run for it and die in a good spot (there is a space in the wall you got through at its northen-most end where you can exit and the ogres won't follow you outside)

Still works with 1.12 as of Sep 20th 2006.

Comentario de Doranos

You can actually solo this quest without even dieing. I did this at level 34 with no problem and no deaths. To do this go in the building with the book case. When the level 40 elite ogre aggros on you run outside of the building and take a right and go around the side of the building and then run westward along the side of the hill away from the building. Do not attack the ogre so it loses aggro. Once it does, the ogre will not have a clear path back to it's starting location. It will then freeze and become temporarily evasion bugged. As soon as you see it stop, run back to the building and you should have just enough time to grab the book before the ogre is ported back inside the building.

Comentario de sjonkel

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

Comentario de peeweesweden

As of patch 2.0, taking the book through the wall is no longer possible.
Still soloed the quest as lvl 32 paladin. Died a total of 0 (zero) times. As I pass the first ogres on my way to the house, I bubbled up and ran in behind the building as I've done before, then I waited for the Forbearance debuff to wear out. Then I ran into the house, aggroed the ogre and let him beat my other shield while I took the book, Hammered him and ran out.

As a hunter you run in and pull the ogre into a freezing trap. Have your pet tank him while you get the book. As the trap drops, arm another one to catch him as you run away. Love the new Hunter v. 2.0!

Comentario de redaxe

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.

Comentario de 22023

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

Comentario de 10517

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 ^^

Comentario de 21564

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...

Comentario de 29495

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

Comentario de 29495

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

Comentario de 36544

i soloed the worn leather book as a lvl 36 rouge it was easy once i put some thought to it i just sapped the lvl40 elite grabbed the book and used vanish for good measure

Comentario de 31259

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.

Comentario de 34701

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.

Comentario de SaintStryfe

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.

Comentario de 13166

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

Comentario de 807

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. :)

Comentario de 49545

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.

Comentario de Thottbot

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

Comentario de Thottbot

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.

Comentario de Thottbot

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

Comentario de Thottbot

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.

Comentario de Thottbot

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.

Comentario de Thottbot

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. :)

Comentario de Thottbot

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 :)

Comentario de Thottbot

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.

Comentario de Thottbot

you can still grab the worn tome from outside of the school house at 38,46

Prowled in, found the gear icon, got the book, prowled out. Got the Recovered Tomes off the ogres at Gallow's Corner...

Cosmos-coords: ~38,47

Easiest. Elite. EVAR.

Comentario de Thottbot

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.

Comentario de Thottbot

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!

Comentario de Thottbot

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

Comentario de Thottbot

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

Comentario de Thottbot

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

Comentario de Thottbot

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!

Comentario de Thottbot

Soloed at lvl 41 warrior i killed all the ogres (elite) that i saw no problem actually

Comentario de Thottbot

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!

Comentario de Thottbot

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.

Comentario de Thottbot

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. :)

Comentario de Thottbot

lure him outside, cast entangling roots, run in and loot and get out

Comentario de Thottbot

This no longer works. Myself a lvl 40 warrior waited a couple of minutes and a paladine came along and helped me. But this wall tip didnt work for me or him

Comentario de Thottbot

I am a 31 druid. I stealthed in. I threw a engineer box and the 40 lvl attacked it while i grabbed the book. he then killed me but i got the book. :)

Comentario de Thottbot

this is a pain for pallys. my stun only last for 4secs >.< i get about 3/4 into getting the book but he atks me. and i cant bubble and get the book at the same time grrrr...

Comentario de Thottbot

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)

Comentario de Thottbot

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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

Comentario de Allakhazam

31 lvl mage. Nova the ogre(40 lvl elite - so lucky) and open the bookshelf. Then die and res from SH. 7 k so easy and luckily:)

Comentario de Allakhazam

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!

BTW I'm a lvl 35 rogue

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Solo'd as Mage.. just freeze Mudrake and get the book. Fear if you're a priest.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Man! The tip bout looting from outside are genious! Worked as !@#$!

Compl. as 32 rogue!

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

3550 exp @ lvl 33

Comentario de Allakhazam

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!

36 Rogue. Stealthed in, sapped level 40 elite, grabbed book, flashed, done.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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?

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

It took me FOR EVER to find the school house. But then a lvl 60 showed me where it was. Once you know where it is..it's so easy to do, especially if your a rogue that can sap, or a mage that can use frost nova.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Level 34 rogue.

Is this guy (Muckrake) unsappable or am I just getting really unlucky? I'm going to have an extra inventory slot open from all the flash powder I am using.

Edit: OK, never mind. :)

i simply kill it....

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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!

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Jo.

Comentario de Allakhazam

You can go up behind the building at 38,46 and loot from the outside of the building

Comentario de Allakhazam

Woo Hoo! Good tip! Did the "Suicide / Rezz" trick and it still works. Went solo, so had to run into town with mages ablazin' on my arse. Used a 35 Pally, this post is logged as my EQ warrior. Just remember to set your H-stone to Southshore, I am replying while flying from Stormwind City...

Comentario de Allakhazam

38 frost mage....little daunting against these big boys solo.....kept dieing on the reach through the wall trick....heres what i did....I am also an Alchemist.... get a potion of Invisibility.....get as close as you can to the house (directions on location of house are throughout previous posts) without drawing agro.....once you are close enough....this has to be fast to work right....drink Invisibility potion and run like hell towards the house...Blink to cover distance....once inside the house...poly the lone fellow...snatch the book....wait for poly to wear off...poly again and hearthstone out....another easy way for those who found the trick in the wall not working for them....

Comentario de Allakhazam

The 5 regular books can be gathered by killing the regular ogres you find.
Here is a screen shot of Muckrake, the ogre that guards the book:

Additionally, here is a screenshot of me looting the book from behind the wall:

did this as a 37 mage:

- corpse ran to building where bookshelf is (cant be seen when as a ghost)
- 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

done

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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 :)

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

I'm a level 33 mage. I did this quest, the hardest part is definately getting that last book. Lead him out, freeze, run in asap. Get the book. Run. Coords: 38,46 as another post states. I'll call this nothing short of 'heart-racing.' at this level. Was really a lot of fun. :)

Comentario de Allakhazam

Can someone tell me where this got damn book is instead of telling their bloody lifestory?

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

where did u guys get the quest to start this i went to southshore and went to loremaster dibbs but he wouldnt give me quest any ideas?

Comentario de Allakhazam

results in a great increase in SW reputation

Comentario de Allakhazam

where do I get this quest?

I did completed it with my warrior a while back, but now can't find it anywhere in stormwind.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. You get the quest from an old history book that randomly drops off a defias in Duskwood.

It was a piece of cake with a 37 rogue, grabed the books from the 34-36 ogers, stealthed in, saped the oger in the school house, got the book and vanish!

Comentario de Allakhazam

solo'd as a lvl 32 human rogue =)

stealth'd in all the way through the main entrance to the ruins and straight into the building, he saw me... used vanish, then sap'd him and took the book.
Ran out and half way through I died. Angel helped me all the way back to town.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Soloed as a lvl 31 Ne hunter without losing a drop of blood. For worn leather book, found out I can enter from the north wall through a gap. Just jump and squeze between the walls and the mountain. Area after north wall has no orges and spent some time observing orge movements and ran to the back of house aggroed but which somehow, orge can't follow through the narrow path between house and hill. You CAN then loot the book from back of house, just watch your cursor. Hearth out and collect ur 3550xp

Comentario de Allakhazam

It's not in the "school house". It's in the building that 80% of human quests would describe as the "town hall" or "meeting hall". Looking for a school house f'd me up on this one... :(

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Did it as a 32 Rogue. Stealthed all the way to the school house, went behind it, and looted it through the wall. Will post screen shots of school house soon, was hard to find for me too.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I did this as a level 39 rogue solo .. I went in stealth mode bypassing all the elites outside .. got into the building .. tried opening the bookcase .. the elite 40 detected me .. i ran out of the building around to the left and behind .. he will follow you back there .. then i kicked in my sprint .. ran faster than him back into the building was able to open before he got back in the room

Comentario de Allakhazam

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

Comentario de Allakhazam

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

Comentario de Allakhazam

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).

Comentario de Allakhazam

Got the book can be hard to find if you dont know where to look ok its in the School at 40.47 go in and kill the Elite Muckrake and in the bookcase y6ou will find the book
Took me a long time to find this book was told it is a drop NOT so its in the bookcase on the wall getting all the tooms was easy so now you shold be able to find it easy now you know it not a drop

Comentario de Allakhazam

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!

Comentario de Allakhazam

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

Edited, Mon Mar 20 17:00:27 2006

Comentario de Allakhazam

- 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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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

Comentario de Allakhazam

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

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

3500 xp and another flight to SW, used up my 'stone on the quest, so I'm flying back again. Oh well, I needed to check the auction house..

soloed this at lvl 32 rouge the first 5 books to get from non elites where easy, then headed to the shcool lookin buildin sap the lvl 40 elite grab book and stealth out, was actually harder gettin back out the ruins then anything else 2 lvl 40 horde hunters spotted me, hit sprint then as i was far enuff vanished =) 3600 exp for 15 mins work

Comentario de Allakhazam

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

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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

Comentario de Allakhazam

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 ^_^

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.)

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de Allakhazam

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.

Comentario de NokoFace

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.

Comentario de Gymlea

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.

Comentario de Testmistress

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.

Comentario de odbod

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.

Comentario de Gothx0

2020

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.

Comentario de dradams2

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.

Comentario de linda535

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.

Comentario de fifth

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.

Comentario de PriestJohnBig

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.
