Patch 5.0.4 will soon be upon us (August 28th), ushering in new goodies like AOE looting, revamped talent systems, and account-wide achievements. However, one potentially unfortunate feature is that we might get the new versions of Scarlet Monastery and Scholomance.

Which is awesome, don't get me wrong (LILIAN VOSS!!) but it would also mean that our window to nab any cool drops from the current versions of these dungeons is fast closing!

There's a lot of interesting gear from both dungeons, with Scholomance sporting a HUGE loot table (and for many of the drops, an exceptionally annoying "chance to drop from any of the six "instructor" bosses" setup). I highly recommend taking a look for yourself, as this might be the last chance to get some of these pieces!

Scarlet Monastery loot table - Scholomance loot table

Here's what I've been farming the last few days, with my usual inclination towards weapons and unique appearances.

Scarlet Monastery
	Torturing Poker - 1h dagger Drops from Interrogator Vishas (Graveyard) This fun dagger is identical to the BoE off-hand frill Rod of Molten Fire, so rogues AND casters can "dual-wield" these!
	Ravager - 2h axe Drops from Herod (Armory) Shares a model with a handful of other 2h axes, but very easily farmed.
	Herod's Shoulder - Mail shoulders Drops from Herod (Armory) Very distinctive due to its single-shoulder appearance. Identical to the heirloom mail shoulders, Champion's Herod's Shoulder, so if you already have the heirloom one, no need to farm the normal version.
	Tabard of the Scarlet Crusade - Tabard Drops from the trainees that attack after Herod Unique, great-looking tabard. Might be available in the new version, but I'm not going to take the chance.
	Hand of Righteousness - Main hand mace Drops from High Inquisitor Whitemane (Cathedral) Common but popular model. Probably the easiest way of obtaining it.
	Whitemane's Chapeau - Cloth head Drops from High Inquisitor Whitemane (Cathedral) Very distinctive headpiece. It will probably be in the new Monastery, given how iconic it is, but easy enough to grab the old one to be safe.
	Aegis of the Scarlet Commander - Shield Drops from Scarlet Commander Mograine (Cathedral) Nearly unique model, very distinctive. Get it!
	Gauntlets of Divinity - Mail hands Drops from Scarlet Commander Mograine (Cathedral) Often overlooked, these red gloves have nice detailing, and go very well with the various red-colored mail sets.
	Mograine's Might - 2h mace Drops from Scarlet Commander Mograine (Cathedral) Unique model! Pretty fancy. Get it while you can!

Scholomance When an item drops from "the Instructors", it means the item has a chance to drop from any of Doctor Theolen Krastinov, Lord Alexei Barov, Instructor Malicia, The Ravenian, Lady Illucia Barov and Lorekeeper Polkelt, the six bosses preceding Darkmaster Gandling.

	Ancient Bone Bow - Bow Drops from the Instructors Great bow model, though it shares a model with the heirloom Charmed Ancient Bone Bow.
	Hammer of the Vesper - 1h mace Drops from the Instructors Only ONE-HAND version still available - the other items that use this model are Main hand maces.
	Ebon Hilt of Marduk - 1h sword Drops from Marduk Blackpool Shares a model with some other swords, but this is the only dark and black version.
	Gravestone War Axe - 2h axe Drops from Kirtonos the Herald TOMBSTONE AXE. Must-have for any Forsaken.
	Frightskull Shaft - 2h mace Drops from Rattlegore A skull and spinal cord! Another hilarious/appropriate Forsaken weapon.
	Clutch of Andros - Cloth belt Drops from Kirtonos the Herald A simple but sharp looking black/purple belt. Goes nicely with a lot of darker robes.
	Necropile Robe - Cloth robe Drops from the Instructors Nice dark SLEEVELESS robe, which you don't see that often.
	Stoneform Shoulders - Plate shoulders Drops from Kirtonos the Herald A very common model, except this is the only version in the game that is PLATE. Noteworthy!
	Bloodmail Legguards - Mail legs Drops from the Instructors The only(?) plain black mail pants, believe it or not! A must-have for your mogging closet!
	Deathbone Girdle - Plate belt Drops from the Instructors Nice black and white color scheme, though the skull is a little garish.
	Deathbone Gauntlets - Plate hands Drops from the Instructors Very elegant design and nice colors. Big fan of these gloves.
	Deathbone Chestplate - Plate chest Drops from the Instructors Honestly? I don't really care for this set, but figured I'd grab it while I still can.
	Deathbone Legguards - Plate legs Drops from the Instructors Matching the above chestpiece. Oddly, the Wraithplate Leggings also drop from Jandice Barov and has an identical model.

There's not much time left! Get farming!
