Magistrate Barthilas Drop Location
The key drops from Barthilas at Alonsus Chapel at the start of the Undead side. A group without the key on its first run reaches this boss through the main gates of Stratholme and part of the Live side. But a group of five players needs one holder on subsequent runs. The holder opens the side gate for each group member.
Blizzard has preserved this item in World of Warcraft Forever under the classic ID 12382. Its tooltip lists Uncommon quality, item level 1, and a Unique tag. The game binds it to the owner upon looting. Its owner cannot transfer it to an alt or another player via mail, trade, or the auction house. That's why our booster will loot the key on the character you specified in your order.
Stratholme Service Entrance Shortcut
Stratholme's side entrance is the Eastwall Gate east of the city's main gates. The route from this gate goes along The Gauntlet through three Scourge ziggurats and Slaughter Square to the Slaughterhouse at the other end of the Undead side. Baron Rivendare waits for players there as the final boss. The key holder leads the group to him in a 45-minute run. This saves you from having to clear the Live side on every attempt.
Baron Rivendare Runs With the Key
The Dead Man's Plea quest from Anthion Harmon gives the group 45 minutes to rescue his wife Ysida from Baron's captivity in the Slaughterhouse. Its reward is Ysida's Satchel from Ysida Harmon herself. But Blizzard has removed Argent Dawn reputation from this quest.
The holder starts the quest timer at the gates of The Gauntlet. An experienced group spends 29 of the 45 minutes on the Baron run. Our team obtains the key for your character during the run to Barthilas. You won't have to search for a holder in chat before every attempt at Dead Man's Plea. We recommend placing this order for a character who organizes Baron runs for the guild.
