Scourge Invasion Event Guide
What are the Undead Slaying Armor Sets?
There are four Undead Slaying armor sets, one for each armor type. For each set, there are Wrists, Gloves, and a Chest piece. Each piece provides a boost when fighting undead, and the 3 pieces together have a set bonus which increases your damage against undead by 2%!
Regalia of Undead Cleansing - Cloth
Undead Slayer's Armor - Leather
Garb of the Undead Slayer - Mail
Battlegear of Undead Slaying - Plate
Scourge Zone Invasion
During this event, you will notice Necropolises appear in six different zones. Underneath, you'll see groups of undead spawned around crystals. As you clear the undead in the area, the crystals will become damaged, eventually leading to the temporary removal of the Necropolis from the area.
You’ll find scourge invasions marked on your World Map with a purple skull in the following zones:
Eastern Plaguelands
Burning Steppes
Blasted Lands
Tanaris
Winterspring
Azshara
How to get the Wrists
In each Scourge Invasion area, there will be a chance for a rare spawn to appear: Lumbering Horror, Spirit of the Damned, or Bone Witch. Each has a chance to drop Bracers of Undead Cleansing, Wristwraps of Undead Slaying, Wristguards of Undead Slaying, or Bracers of Undead Slaying. Note that, unlike the other two pieces, these are Bind on Equip.
How to get the Chest
Head to an area under Scourge attack. By killing Scourge, you'll damage the crystal in the middle of each circle. Once the crystal is down, four Cultist Engineer will appear, attempting to repair the crystal. Interact with the Cultist Engineer and spend 8x Necrotic Rune to stop them.
They will transform into a Shadow of Doom, an elite undead mob. Upon its defeat, it will drop 30x Necrotic Rune, 1x Corruptor's Scourgestone (if you have your Argent Dawn Commission trinket equipped), and have a chance also to drop Robe of Undead Cleansing, Tunic of Undead Slaying, Chestguard of Undead Slaying, or Breastplate of Undead Slaying. Repeat this four times, until all Cultist Engineers are defeated, and the scourge circle in that particular area will disappear temporarily.
How to get the Gloves
To unlock the ability to purchase items, including the Undead Slaying Gloves, for Necrotic Rune, you must first complete Under the Shadow. This quest is started by talking to Commander Thomas Helleran in Eastern Plaguelands.
/way #1423 80.8 60.2 Commander Thomas Helleran
Check your map to find an area under Scourge attack. The Scourge in the region will frequently drop Necrotic Rune. Return 10x Necrotic Rune to Commander Thomas Helleran at Light's Hope Chapel in Eastern Plaguelands. You should collect these before picking up this quest to save yourself from unnecessary travel.
Once completed, to purchase your choice of Undead Slaying Gloves for 30x Necrotic Rune, visit:
Argent Quartermaster in Ironforge, Stormwind City, or Eastern Plaguelands.
Argent Outfitter in Orgrimmar or Eastern Plaguelands.
