subject: Scholomance Strategy Guide [print this page] Scholomance (frequently abbreviated to "Scholo" and pronounced as "SKO-lo") is a school of necromancy located on the island of Caer Darrow, once owned by the wealthy Barov family. The school was founded by KelThuzad, who obtained the property from the Barovs by promising them immortality through undeath in exchange for their allegiance to the Lich King.
As such, the halls of Scholomance are populated by undead students and instructors, as well as all forms of undead cheap wow gold creatures. The dungeon is ruled by Ras Frostwhisper, once a powerful mage in Dalaran who gave over his life to the Lich King NerZhul so he could be raised as an immortal lich. But the schools headmaster is a mortal necromancer, Darkmaster Gandling.
Scholo is a level 57-60 dungeon that was recently capped at a 5-player limit. Prior to the v. 1.10 patch, the only reason to do five-man Scholo was to complete the few quests it offered. Groups frequented it for the rare item drops from the numerous bosses that inhabit the wow gold for sale place, including several tier-0 armor pieces. Post-release 1.10, the team size cap was lowered to 5 but drop rates on rare items were supposedly increased.
Darkmaster Gandling always drops one of the tier-0 head pieces. In addition to Scholo-specific quests, there are also several reasons to visit this dungeon, notably the paladin epic mount quest, as well as gather buy wow gold cheap quests for epic armor.
The Legplates/Legguards of the Chromatic Defier, and the Breastplate of Bloodthirst both require Skin of Shadow, which can be obtained in random buying wow gold spots in Scholo, usually in Illucia Barov's room. The Leggings of Arcana quest requires Frostwhisper's Embalming Fluid (among other things), which of course can be found in Ras Frostwhisper's laboratory.
