Deadmines Quest Guide – Season of Discovery Classic

The Deadmines dungeon features only a handful of quests, with all of them being Alliance-only quests. Almost all the quests can be instantly picked up except two which require you to complete a rather long chain quest to acquire them. In this guide, we will go over all the specific quests and showcase where they can be picked up and how they can be completed.

Quests

Red Silk Bandanas (Not Shareable ~ Requires Chain Quest Completion)

This quest can be picked up from Scout Riell in Sentinel Hill, starting with level 14 after completing The Defias Brotherhood‘s escort quest.

To complete this quest you will need to head into the Deadmines and collect the Red Silk Bandanas from any mobs that have the “Defias Tag”. This includes Defias Miners, however, the Red Silk Bandanas have a nigh-guaranteed drop chance from the elite mobs. The patrols formed of Defias Evokers, Defias Henchmen, Defias Overseers, and all the pirates such as Defias Pirates and Defias Squalshappers that can be found in the deeper parts of the dungeon are great sources of Red Silk Bandanas.

This quest can be completed both inside and outside the dungeon, as you will find plenty of elites outside that drop the item as well. Once you pick up the items you can return them to Scout Riel to complete the quest.

Rewards: Solid Shortblade/Scrimshaw Dagger/Piercing Axe

Collecting Memories (Shareable)

This quest can be picked up from Wilder Thistlenettle in Stormwind, starting with level 14.

This quest can be completed outside the Deadmines dungeon, in the undead-infested part of the mine. To complete this quest you need to collect 4 Miner’s Union Cards that can be collected from the undead. Beware that each undead is an Elite, meaning that you will most likely need a group to complete this quest. The Miner’s Union Cards can drop from any mob, including Undead Excavator, Skeletal Miner, and Undead Dynamiter. The cards won’t drop from Foreman Thistlenettle.

Once you pick up the items you can return them to Wilder Thistlenettle to complete the quest.

Rewards: Tunneler’s Boots/Dusty Mining Gloves

Oh Brother… (Shareable)

This quest can be picked up from Wilder Thistlenettle in Stormwind, starting with level 15.

This quest can be completed outside the Deadmines dungeon, in the undead-infested part of the mine. To complete this quest you need to collect the Thistlenettle’s Badge from Foreman Thistlenettle. You can find him at the end of the undead-infested area of the mine, surrounded by other unfortunate trapped souls. Beware that Foreman Thislenettle is a level 20 Elite that is surrounded by other elites, meaning that you will most likely need a group to finish this quest.

Once you pick up the item you can return it to Wilder Thistlenettle to complete the quest.

Rewards: Miner’s Revenge

Underground Assault (Shareable)

This quest can be picked up from Shoni the Shilent in Stormwind, starting with level 15.

This quest can be completed inside the Deadmines dungeon by looting the Gnoam Sprecklesprocket. You can find this item by killing Sneed’s Shredder inside the Lumberjack camp section of the dungeon. Once you pick up the item you can return to Shoni the Shilent to complete the quest.

Rewards: Polar Gauntlets/Sable Wand

The Unsent Letter (Not Shareable)

This quest can be picked up from Edwin Vancleef after killing him inside the Deadmines dungeon, starting with level 16. The quest can be accessed by using An Unsent Letter that can be looted from his corpse.

To complete this quest you will need to deliver the letter to Baros Alexston in Stormwind City. He can be found inside the Cathedral Square, in the City Hall building. There is not much more to add about this quest since it’s a simple delivery mission. The only worthwhile point to be mentioned is that this quest is the first in a long chain quest that ends in a very powerful reward.

Rewards: Experience + 7 Silver

The Defias Brotherhood (Not Shareable ~ Requires Chain Quest Completion)

This quest can be picked up from Gryan Stoutmantle in Sentinel Hill, starting with level 14. This quest can only be picked up after completing a long chain quest comprised of 6 quests.

To be eligible for The Defias Brotherhood you need to complete:

• The Defias Brotherhood

Once you finish the chain quest and pick up the quest from Gryan Stoutmantle, you will need to head inside the Deadmines dungeon and kill Edwin Vancleef to collect his head.
