How to Unlock Old Scholomance World of Warcraft can be a daunting task, but with the right steps, it can be done. First, you’ll need to acquire three dark runes and five essence of death from the auction house. Once you have these items, head to Scholomance in the western playgrounds and change your dungeon difficulty to heroic.
The next step is to acquire Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors, which can be obtained by slaying the first two bosses in Scholomance and then killing Rattle. If you see the red text chat saying “The Doctor Is In,” then a rare elite has spawned called Dr. Theolin Krastanov. Slay him to obtain the toy Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors.

Once you have all the necessary items, perform the ritual in Scholomance to unlock the dungeon.

Acquiring Necessary Items
Shopping Trip to Auction House
Before heading to Scholomance, it is recommended to take a quick shopping trip to the auction house. Purchase three dark runes and five essence of death. They are not too expensive and will save you quite a bit of time.
Getting Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors
The first step to unlocking Scholomance is to get Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors. Head over to Scholomance and go into the main building. Turn left and make sure your dungeon difficulty is on heroic. Enter the dungeon and slay the first boss, then the second boss, and then kill Rattle. Once you’ve killed Rattle, look in your chat for a yell which is the red text saying “The Doctor Is In”. If you see that chat, then a rare elite has spawned called Dr. Theolin Krastanov. He will only spawn if you see the red text chat. Carry on through into the next room and slay him. He will definitely drop Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors, which is a toy you will need to unlock old Scholomance. Do bear in mind it can take you quite a few tries to do this and you can only complete heroic dungeons in classic once per day.
Obtaining Eva Sarkov’s Items
After obtaining Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors, it’s time to move on to the next step. Complete the Scholomance dungeon, including killing the final boss. Once the final boss has been slain, he will open up the gate which is above. Head into the top room above the Headmaster’s study and walk forward. On the left, you’ll see a small pile of bones. Run over to that pile of bones and then use the toy Krastinov’s Bag of Horrors. This summons the ghost of Eva Sarkov. To deactivate the toy, simply right-click the buff at the top of your screen. Now you can talk to her. You will receive the Inner Spectral Essence after speaking to her. Don’t forget to pick up her femur as well, which is the bone on the floor. Click that and it will enter your banks.
Collecting Tradable Items: How to Unlock Old Scholomance
Now we need to run back through the dungeon to the classroom area where you’ve got all the students. Run into that room and immediately on the left, there are two bookcases. You need to select the first one and loot Eva’s Journal. We’re going to need this later. Now it’s time to go throughout the world and find some tradable items. The first tradable item we’re going to find is in Corin’s Crossing, which is in Eastern Plaguelands. Head into the abandoned Inn and click on the Road Ahead painting. This is a lootable item. Once you’ve looted that, we can move on to the next item.
Next, head to Stratholme. Heading into Stratholm, go forward and take the first left and then take another left. Head over to the abandoned cart and on there, you will find the undelivered shipment of smokes. Click that item and loot it. Head out of Stratholme and fly over to Darrowshire, which is also in the Eastern Plaguelands. Find the rather menacingly looking meat wagon with the trampled doll under its right wheel. Click on that trampled doll and loot it.
Now fly over to Ander Hull, enter the town hall, and inside the town hall, you’ll see pinned on the wall is the deed of Ander Hull. Make sure you loot that item, then exit the building, and fly over to Scholomance. Once you get to Scholomance, just down the hill a little bit, there is a fountain. On that fountain, there is a bucket. Click that bucket and loot the bucket.
Now it’s time to trade some items. Go ahead and equip the spectral essence trinket. This will allow you to interact with all the ghosts outside Scholomance. Now we need to basically find specific ghosts which we will trade with to get imported candles. The first one is Artist Renfrey. Artist Renfrey sells imported candles in exchange for the Road Ahead painting, which we found back at Corin’s Crossing.
Next, head over to Rory, who is on the docks, and trade with him the undelivered shipment of smokes. Then we need to trade back at the fountain with Little Sammy. We’ll give her the trampled doll, and then we need to head up the hill just to the right of Scholomance with Magistrate Majuk. We will give him the deed to Ander Hull, and then head back down the hill a little bit and to the right. We’ll find Joseph Dirt. Give Joseph Dirt the Care D
