Nathanos' Ruse

Travel to Tyr's Hand, southeast of the Marris Stead. Once there, take a bite of the Rotten Apple. While under the guise of the Scarlet Crusade, deliver the Grand Crusader's Command to Crusader Lord Valdelmar.
The Grand Crusader's Command
Provided Item:
Nathanos' Chest

Description

I have made some adjustments to this command. Should our little ruse work, they will expose the Scarlet Oracle and we shall strike!

Now pay attention, <class>. You are to deliver this command to the Crusader Lord, Valdelmar.

How? You are going to hand it to him, imbecile.

Take the command and this rotten apple to Tyr's Hand. When you cross into the city, eat the apple. You will transform into something more... palatable to the humans. Take the command and hand it to the Crusader Lord, Valdelmar.

Eating the apple gives you a 15 minute disguise buff as a member of the Scarlet Crusade, and all of the npcs inside Tyr's Hand will become allied, and you cannot attack them.

Also, if you're a female rogue and stealthed while disguised, a glitch will change your illusion from a female to a male Scarlet Crusader, and back again if you exit and reenter stealth.

I thought it be cool to have another costume around but you can only eat the apples in Eastern Plaugeland defeating the point of keeping it.

This is easy.&nbsp When you get to the gate, eat the apple, then ride straight in and hand in the quest.&nbsp Its the big building straight ahead.

One thing to watch out for: I tried to pick up some herb while there and when I looted the apple disguise immediately came off and I was attacked.&nbsp Easy enough to eat the apple again and they left me alone.

Have fun!

If you use ghost wolf while disguised, then you will get the 40% increased movement buff, but not actually change into ghost wolf form; you remain in Scarlet form. Once you come out of ghost wolf, then you will change genders.

I did this mission with a mage friend of mine and had the time of my WoW life. The scarlets help you kill the AC around you. Its great. I neglected to turn in the mission just so the houndmaster would give me another. We killed so many ac that were out farming for arcane crystals..... all and all good times.

I ate the apple and just ran around having fun being a human (I'm usually a tauren). My friend got turned into a female human which was pretty funny to see.

So anyway, I got ganked by alliance, came back to my body and revived. The mission now says "complete" and the apple is gone. So even if the mission does work when done normally, there's some weird stuff going on with it.

Well, I had one hell of a time trying to find him. This explains why they gave you 4 apples. Never really could. So I did the next best thing. I waited for the crimson courier to arrive and followed her into the building. right when she went into the hall of the main building, Valdelmar appeared. I ran up and beat her to it & gave him doc to complete quest. You then get quest from him to go back to Nathanos Blightcaller.

Just don't open any treasure chests while in disguise. Breaks it and you will get your ass kicked severely.
