Route
1. Entrance (Silverpine Forest) → vestibule → Rethilgore. 2. → main hall → Baron Silverlaine (dispel Veil of Shadow). 3. → meat room → Razorclaw the Butcher (turn him away from the group). 4. → stables → Commander Springvale (kill the retinue first). 5. → tower → Odo the Blindwatcher (brace for the enrage). 6. → Arugal's chambers → Fenrus the Devourer. 7. → Wolf Master Nandos (AoE the wolves). 8. → balcony → Archmage Arugal, the finale (stack up for Shadow Bolt Volley).
Shadowfang Keep has dense worgen packs — use crowd control (Sap, Polymorph, Fear) and don't pull extras. Arugal teleports — the healer must always see the tank.
WoW Classic x5 tips
1. On x5 the optimal entry is level 20-22: SFK loot lasts past level 30. 2. Robes of Arugal and the Meteor Shard from the finale are a top base for casters 20-30. 3. The daggers Shadowfang and Assassin's Blade are signature rogue-twink loot. 4. A natural follow-up is the Deadmines and The Stockade.
