Crest of Lordaeron is the treasure-hunt quest of Ruins of Lordaeron. Somewhere in the dungeon lies an old crest of the fallen kingdom. You click it to start the quest and take it home. Both factions can do it; only the turn-in NPC is different. The hard part is finding the crest, because it is not in the same place every run.

Step by step
- Enter Ruins of Lordaeron. You do not need to pick anything up first.
- Search for the crest as you clear. It has no minimap marker and moves between runs. Places where groups have found it:
- the towers around the spider courtyard (Witherfang’s area)
- near The Abandoned, the wraith on Market Street
- the room behind the banshee door
- the area around Bjork
- Click the crest to start the quest.
- Turn it in. Horde take it to Oran Snakewrithe in the Undercity. Alliance take it to Lady Dena Kennedy in Stormwind City.
- Open the Small Sack of Gems from your bags.
Rewards
- Small Sack of Gems: a bag you open for gems. The exact contents are not documented yet.
- About 5,450 XP for Horde and 6,200 XP for Alliance.
Tips / common problems
- Look up. The crest is easy to miss on tower floors and in side rooms. Ask the group to call it out when someone sees it.
- Not where a guide said? That is normal. The spot changes between runs, so check the other places on the list before you give up.
- Do not leave the room with The Abandoned unchecked. That fight starts from a statue on Market Street, and groups often walk past the area once the boss is down.
- Who can loot it? Sources do not say whether each player gets their own crest. Check after the first person clicks it; if it is gone, keep looking or come back on another run.
