<The Scarlet Crusade> RP in Classic WoW (Ironman Challenge)

Von dunkelheity Letztes Update: 23.04.2020 Änderungsprotokoll Patch: 1.13.2

DispositionRoleplaying as a member of <The Scarlet Crusade> was for years deemed as an uneducated choice for RP. This was the case, because many non-Roleplayers jumped into guilds such as <The Scarlet Crusade> or even worse - <Scarlet Crusade>, just as a complementary aesthetic to their Wams des Scharlachroten Kreuzzugs. The trend continued down the expansions, where the lore arguably changed for the worse, and such RP was deemed as completely obsolete. With the advent of Classic WoW, new opportunities arise for this concept, and a throughout view of the timeline helps one understand what can be improved in terms of RP, aesthetic, mechanics and ideas.This guide aims at showing an in-depth analysis of how one can correctly pull off a RP character, as a member of the <Scarlet Crusade Emissary>, without going into too much detail on lore, as that information is easily accessible on other platforms.<Scarlet Crusade Emissary> is a brand new idea for Hardcore Roleplay that I developed for the Hydraxian Waterlords (RP) realm.

Requirements

You must to create a new character

This is the first and most important task needed to start following the guide. Even if you have yourself a character suitable for all the below mentioned tasks, you still have to make a new one, as the guide will take you through a unique path, crafted from the very beginnings of your character's creation.

Your character must be a member of <The Alliance>

This is a major priority task, as <Scarlet Crusade Emissary> operates as followers of Lordaeron's rule. Untoter characters are not viable, as their lore differs on many points from what we're trying to achieve here. Hochinquisitor Schönufer is not an excuse, since he's actually a sort of an enemy to the <Scarlet Crusade Emissary>, hence why he's imprisoned.

Your character must be a Mensch

Another major step-stone in your character development. Yes, there is a Zwerg statue inside Das Scharlachrote Kloster, but that's not a valid excuse, as those statues were raised in the very early days of <Scarlet Crusade Emissary>. In the timeline of Classic WoW, no dwarves were ever present or allowed near Das Scharlachrote Kloster.

Your character must be a Priester

Another unavoidable task for a good RP. If the player wishes to choose to play as a different class though, Paladin or a Krieger are still suitable choices, though not tailored to the guide. An excuse can hardly be made to RP as a Magier class though, because it could be deemed as a snowflake. A proper RP works best when it fits all criteria perfectly and delivers a character that correctly resembles moral and ethical expectations. In the case in which the player still wants to play and follow this guide with a Magier, he should consider using an advanced character arc and eventual split from the <Scarlet Crusade Emissary>, which would ruin the initial idea of this run. It's something I would definitely not recommend and this is the only time it's going to be noted.Preparation

It would be best to have another character of the same faction

This other character will be your "friend" that we can look up to, when we're in dire need. This "friend" character can be played unrelated to your main character's RP. It's extremely useful to have such a "friend", as he can help you out with anything you can't solve on your own. In the future I'll take you have such a "friend" character, as the guide will be built around this.

It would be best to have at least 100 Gold at your disposal

That gold is to be used mainly for transportation. This task is not mandatory, as the gold can be acquired later by your main, although it could cause problems with timing. I would recommend having a high-leveled character (around level 40 or more), before starting on this guide, and that character to be used as your "friend", after your main has been created.

Join the <Scarlet Crusade Emissary>

This is mandatory if you want other players to understand your RP. Look for that particular guild or similar guilds in your realm and candidate to join them. This could be done by your "friend", so that when your main character is created, he can immediately be invited to join. Although not esscential, this is another task that's better off to be done. If there are no such guilds in your realm, make one yourself with the help of your "friend". Code

Be Strict

Be Conscious

Be Aware

Be Righteous

Be Loyal

Be Educated

Be Trained

Those are more of a needed player qualities, rather than RP-related tasks, and are not essential, but could be very useful for one to understand the concepts and reasoning behind the decisions taken in this guide.Rules

Follow the guide strictly

Below are noted all rules for the challenge, as well as RP suggestions on how to pull it off correctly. This means that any detours from your predestined path could ruin your experience and it's possible for them to invalidate your RP. This is the most important rule, but it's still only a recommendation, more than an actual strict measure. All of the rules can be manipulated at the player's wish, but that will surely take you further away from this guide. If you wish to follow the correct experience, it would be necessary to follow all of the rules.

Focus on killing Undead and Demons

Every step of the player should be focused on eradicating the Undead and Demons of Lordearon. Kill any of those mobs whenever you see them. Additionally, in this guide, the player will only take quests related to killing foul creatures. The killing of passive mobs and other aggressive creatures is not forbidden, but shouldn't be a priority and it should be avoided for as long as possible.

Do not attack, kill or pickpocket Tirisfal Farmers, Tirisfal Farmhands or any Scarlet or Scarlet affiliated mob or NPC

The player should not kill any Scarlet mobs. This will mean running away from them and dodging any possible occurrence, where one can meet them. This rule encompasses all friendly mobs to <Scarlet Crusade Emissary> too, including Bauer von Tirisfal and other citizens of Lordaeron. This point will be an important one in the future, so try to follow it from the very start.

No enchantments on your gear.

Beginning

Whisper a Hexenmeister with your "friend" and strike a deal to get a summon of your main to Deathknell, in Tirisfal

This is the first step of your journey. After that's prepared for you, log into your main and do not take off your gear. You must not move around Northshire Abbey, talk to anyone, or kill any mobs there. This part of the experience resembles your new beginning as a member of <Scarlet Crusade Emissary>. As it's necessary to work with a Hexenmeister and two other folks to achieve this, it's best to look for people in Tirisfal or Das Scharlachrote Kloster, that are either preparing to enter Das Scharlachrote Kloster or planning on finishing it soon. Feel free to use some of your gold savings for this, but don't mail anything to your main yet, just use your "friend", if it's needed. One could alternatively run to there, but this is a major compromise to the guide. In our realm we offer summons for a small price.

Destroy your Ruhestein

Once in Tirisfal, you can freely get rid of your Ruhestein, as you won't be needing it any time soon. A new one will be acquired at a later stage of the run.

Follow the progression as noted below

This means that every step from the guide needs to be done at some point. You can go back and finish things you haven't finished in Tirisfal, after you've progressed to Silberwald, but you can't progress to Silberwald, if you're below level 10. Additionally, those tasks can be done in any order you find fitting, as long as you fit the zone level requirements. Feel free to do anything else that fits the RP in between those steps. Keep in mind that this is mainly to ensure you survive - I've tried everything.Tirisfal (Phase 1) (1-5)You may not continue to Tirisfal (Phase 2) until you complete all of the tasks and get to level 5.

Exterminate Samuel Fipps, Stephen Bhartec, Karrel Grayves and Daniel Ulfmann

Those are the first undead you need to purge. Level up by killing other undead mobs around the area, and when you're ready, start killing these guys.

Acquire the Totmannsklinge

That drop can be sometimes hard to obtain and it's the rarest level 1 sword. It drops from the above noted undead. It's not like we can use it, but it's a good memorabilia to stick around to. It will serve us for RP purposes at a later stage, so if you lose it, you have to go back and farm those undead until it drops. This item will fill up your inventory until a very late stage of the run.Tirisfal (Phase 2) (6-10)You may not continue to Tirisfal (Phase 3) until you complete all of the tasks and get to level 10.

Exterminate Devlin Agamand, Nissa Agamand, Thurman Agamand and Gregor Agamand

Another batch of undead creeps that needs to be put to rest. No special drop required to take from these guys for the run, so killing them once is more than enough.

Find and kill Bayne

The rare demon dog needs to be put to rest too, as <The Scarlet Crusade> disapproves of all kinds of creatures related to foul and dark magic.

Find and kill Verirrte Seele and Gepeinigter Geist

Those ghostly creatures have no place in the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Put an end to their misery as a righteous judge of the living.Tirisfal (Phase 3) (10-12)

Head over to Pyrewood Village and Ambermill in Silberwald

You are now free to leave Tirisfal and progress to Silberwald. Pyrewood Village offers repair and vendor, but only at day, and Ambermill offers a vendor at night, if such is needed. Feel free to use these vendors to buy and sell and use repair, when needed, from now on.

Find and kill Fellicents Schemen

This apparition haunts the grounds near the Das Scharlachrote Kloster. Find it and dispose of it, but be careful. A Geringer Heiltrank is recommended.

Explore all of Tirisfal

This task is applicable at the end of every zone run.
