The quest is easy enough really 

1: talk to lord ravenholdt (sp?) in his manor in Hillsbrad (you know the place northwest of durnhold keep)

2: Pickpocket a sealed azure bag from a Furlbog Shaman in Azshara (if you are ally or friendly just declare war on them and pick away) the bag isn't a 100% drop rate (it took me 2 tries and my friend about 12)

3: Take the bag to Archmage Xylon in Azshara (speak to a high elf (Sanath Lim-Yo) south east of Timbermaw Hold to get ported up to him)

4: Get 10 (jesus save me) Book fragments (Encoded Fragmants I think they're called) from Forest Oozes in north east Azshara. This part was driving the whole zone crazy as no one realized that they had a placeholder (the oozes do) Kill Mistwing Ravagers to get the oozes to spawn (I had a path that I could kill 6 in a row and circle back to the first while in stealth just as it was spawning accounting for the spell they cast making you move at 75% normal speed)

5: Give the 10 fragments to Archmage Xylon

6: The next part was what killed me and to be honest I don't really remember the specifices .... Go to the Sunken Temple and kill some weirdly spelled mob and loot the key (quest key and all =/) ST is bar-none my least favorite zone in the game, so I just joind a group already headed there and we laid waste to the entire zone =/ .... and in the process got my key (hoofrigginray)

7: Return to Lord Ravenholdt and pick one of these three (I got the boots, though I kind of wish I'd gotten the head)

Ebon Mask
Head
122 AC
11 Stamina
+1% to crit
+36 Attack Power

Whisperwalk Boots
Feet
104 AC
18 Agility
4 Stamina
Increse Effective Stealth by 1

Duskbat Drape
37 AC
14 Agility
Reduces Damage from Falling

anyways the Shaman Pick is the easy part, the Fragments were easy, but time consuming, and ST is and will always be a drag

It took me about 2.5 hours to get to the ST part and about 2-3 to clear all that garbage

I was one of the first 1-5 people on my server to finish this and I figure its worth doing at 50-55, but not worth doing at 60 imho

hope this helps =)

what is ST?

not worth it at 60? Thats a pretty good helm, a lot better than my helm of fire at least :)

as a rogue im a leatherworker/skinner..and you wont find a better high lv instance to skin in then ST..till your 60 and doing ubrs...even then you get more skinning for your lv in ST..i ran it till lv 58...$$$$

I dont know what the guy is talking about, i have killed everything but the giants in the area and have not seen a ooze respawn in their place.  I have seen exactly two oozes in two hours and neither dropped a fragment. 

Is there a reward for bein Revered, or exhaulted with Ravenholdt?  SOrry if this has already been answered.

Just a heads up that I hope will make the fragment collection part of the quest less painful.  The oozes can be pickpocketed!  That means you get two chances for that annoyingly scarce spawn to drop what you need.  Good luck folks.

the fragments are very easy and quick. Go to where the quest tells you, I think it sounds something like north east part. Anyway, you go to north east (on top of the land mass, along the drop to shore). You 'll see 4-5 oozes spawns eventually (spaced, not all together of course). Some wossaname flying things and some elite giants are there.

Pickpocket and kill the oozes. I got all the frags from the 5 oozes. Took me maybe 15 min

First, go to 75,24 in Hillsbrad Foothills, you should see a ramp, go up and you'll see these humans, "Assasin's League."  Go through the short cave and to your right, you'll see a big house, go in, his coordinates are 84,17.

Is there a point in getting high rep with this place? you can turn in 5 junk boxes to get 50 rep and u get 200 throwing knifes (http://www.thottbot.com/?i=51417)
