by nelandinThe epic mount for warlocks, is attainable at level 60, as all other classes. However, for us is slightly cheeper, although perhaps more difficult. But the finally is well worth it, not to mention over 70,000 experience!
REQUIRED MATERIAL
As you are doing these quest, you should also be collecting the following materials, as you will need them to finish this quest. I spent approximately 100 gold on these in the auction house.
Elixir of Shadow Power X 2
Large Brilliant Shard X 6
Dark Iron Ore X 25
Black Dragonscales X 3
Arcanite Bar X 1
Crescent Key (or a 300 Locksmith)
406 gold (156 gold if you know anther warlock who has J’eevee’s Jar, Black Lodestone, and Xorothian Glyphs.)
Upon reaching level 60 all warlocks should high tail it to the trainer in Orgimar or Ironforge for the usual even level training. While your there, pick up the quest:
This will make you next target Burning Steppes, coordinates 12, 31. Speak to Mor’zul and Gorzeeki, pick up:
Rage of Blood
Lord Banehollow
Once you have collected these two quests, head to Kalmidor. It is recommended you have a soulstone, healthstone, and a few health potions. Also, BE SURE YOU HAVE 150 gold BEFORE DOING THIS! Fly to Bloodvenom Post, and head to Shadow Hold(35,57). Drink your shadow potion at the beginning of Jaednar (no one will attack you except the oozes) and walk to Lord Banehollow at the end of Shadow Hold, which takes about 10 minutes or so. Talk to him and get the follow up:
Go back to the hollow part of the cave where the bridges are and look for Ulathek(41,49) in one of the rooms. Take out your voidwalker, if you have not already. Talk to him and go through the dialogue. About four guards will attack you along with Ulathek. Focus fire on him and make sure voidwalker area taunts(suffering). When he is dead, loot him. You can keep taking out the guards if you like, but I just ran away. You don’t need to kill them. I just sacrificed my voidwalker and walked away. Run back to Banehollow and turn in the traitors heart and get the follow up:
Purchase some dust from the guy behind him and we are off to Winterspring.
I hit up around The Hidden Grove(65,19) for these raging beast blood. Took about an hour.
Before returning to the Steppes and turning in these quest, you should have the above mentioned materials, so you knock out all the quests at once. Also, if you haven’t found another warlock to assist you, you will also need 250 gold. this will be a good time to star putting together a group for Scholomance and Dire Maul West.
Once you have everything you need, go back to Burning Steppes, and turn in your quests. If you have all your mats, you willl turn over quite a bit of experience. Pick up and turn in the following:
–Bell of Dethmoora
–Wheel of the Black March
–Doomsday Candle
–Arcanite
Also pick up Imp Delivery, and get your party for Scholomance. Once there head to the southern most room, were Ras Frostwhisper‘s alchemy lab is, clear the room, and open your Imp in a Jar; watch J’eevee do the work. That done, we are back to Wildeyes for the last quest!
If you still haven’t found any warlock assistance, bite the bullet and buy J’eevee’s Jar, Black Lodestone, and Xorothian Glyphs from Wildeyes. Quickslot the Lodestone. Also, grab Dreadsteed of Xoroth from Morzul. Now get your party of five and head for Dire Maul in Feralas.
The climax!! This the end, and you are an hour away from your epic mount! Nervous? I know I was.
Clear your way through to Immol’thar, who is imprisoned in the west end of the west wing. On your way, be sure to collect as many soulshards as possible, about twenty, to be safe. Also, to break Immol’thar’s prison, you must find the five pylons scattered through out Dire Maul.
One pylon is located in the Capital Gardens;
Two pylons are located in the Court of the Highborne (the upper balcony);
Two pylons are located in the circular area right outside Immol’thar’s prison
They are powered by arcane-immune Arcane Remnants and Arcane Aberrations, which must be killed to deactivate them. Be sure to clear the Garden area prior to defeating Tendris Warpwood. My party almost wiped here. Once defeated, you will be attacked by anything left alive behind you.
Once he is dead, head through the door and clear the circle surrounding Immol’thar, rest, buff and head in for the kill.
Now that the area is clear, rest again, and prepare for a long battle against felguards and imps. Activate the jar, and watch J’eevee work again. Once he is finished, the demons begin to roll. Tell you party to focus on the felguards, and AOE the imps when you can. Your main focus as the warlock is the bell, wheel, and candle. As the ritual continues, they will randomly sag. Use the lodestone “repair” them (this uses your soulshards). Any hit taken will interrupt your casting. If all three items go down, the ritual will end and have to be restarted. The ritual takes about 6 to 10 minutes to finish. Once complete, a swirling red vortex will appear. Clear the rest of the demons and take a deep breath, your almost done.
Rest and rebuff and prepare for the finally. When your ready use the Glyphs. This will summon your dreadsteed,which you must fight to about 50%, at which time Lord Helnur’ath will appear. Defeat him and the horse is all yours!!
Hope this guide has helped you all out. Big thanks to wowwiki and wowhead. And if your on my server, I’ll help you out.

It is confirmed this questIt is confirmed this quest chain is gone in the expansion. Moving it to the archive.
If someone could confirmIf someone could confirm whether this guide is still valid as of patch 4.0, that would be awesome. Also if anyone knows whether this quest chain is going away in the expansion, also awesome.
Thanks!
It is still fun to achieveHere I read people don’t do the dreadsteed quest line anymore.
That is a pity, I liked it a lot even with the costs included which is not much at lvl 80.
Now I have to say i bought the dreadsteed first, but I liked to have the feats of strength achievment aswell, just to show off in my guild 😉 So I decided to finish my once started questline.
Now at lvl 80 with standard pre-raid gear i was able to solo the whole event, it took some effort, but it turned out to be rather easy.
First clear everything and have Immol’thar killed. rest and eat..(I did not use potions at the time) get your voidwalker up. And start the ritual.
As soon as J’eevee is finished imps will come and enter the circle. You stay OUT of the circle on the grass surrounding it, and let your voidwalker aggro in the middle of the circle. Keep a close look to the outside of the cage before the imps and guards will enter the stay there, make sure you don’t bump into them. Your voidwalker will survive the first waves easy.
You will pay attention to the relics to keep them up. If any of the objects fail fix it without aggro because your voidwalker keeps all the mobs in the middle.
When your voidwalker is on half of its health health-funnel him to full and go on with the relics.
I also started a timer when J’eevee finsihed, at about 4 minutes a lot of felguards enter the circle and I killed some off them to get some stress off my voidwalker just make sure your void stays in the middle of the ritual circle. After 6 minutes al the drawings are completed and all the mobs will be killed outside the circle.
kill off the remaining and rest.
Stopping the dreadsteed and killing Lord Helnur’ath is easy 🙂
I said that because, in allI said that because, in all honesty, I doubt anyone wants to do all of these old world instances again. You may want to do the quests, but are not able to. You only have to get journeyman riding to learn the Dreadsteed now, though.
Hmm, how can I make itHmm, how can I make it clearer.

quest replaced?! I think not The quest was actually not replaced, unless they just did it Monday. I just completed this quest Saturday night. There has been, however, an “easy button” added for any warlocks who are not interested in doing things the classic way. From what I understand, you must make 61, train for journeyman riding, and buy a mount. Then you may go to your trainer and learn the spell Dreadsteed. I think.

Don’t be famous, be infamous
A good start!Its a good start. I say keep up the work and look it over a again. Just a few errors through out, and a few screenshots for the final event would be a good idea. Help show people what you’re talking about.
Don’t be famous, be infamous
Even though its currentlyEven though its currently not viable there will always be someone willing to try. Plus its just a lot of fun doing this quest, even though its very painful to perform the last step.
Don’t be famous, be infamous
Sadly, I don’t think this isSadly, I don’t think this is very useful anymore. The quest was recently replaced by being able to get it from a trainer.
Dreadsteed fixeddone. wish i could get a better explanation on adding pictures though. your guide guide was a big help, but i can’t wrap my head around the pictures
Wowhead tooltipsSuggestion:
Replace the wowwiki links with wowhead tooltips. It’s just more enjoyable for the readers.
Check my guide writing guideCheck my guide writing guide for the pictures, it’s all explained in there.
Thanks for the critique 🙁 Wow that is about the worst place to make a mistake :jawdrop:
i actually did you use the guide writing guide, couldn’t figure out the pictures though…
still working on it.
anything else?
SuggestionsFirst off, try using the correct name of the mount you’re going to talk about. It’s Dreadsteed, not Dresdsteed :P.
Also, the guide could use some text formatting. I recommend reading through [url=https://wow-pro.com/jame_guide_writing_guide]Jame’s Writing Guide[/url] for this.
You could also add an image of the Dreadsteed, just to show those warlocks how awesome the Dreadsteed really is! 🙂
check out the dreadsteed guide!! this is my first guide. would love to know what everyone thinks. 😕 :O
