WoW Forever Scarlet Banner Guide
The Scarlet Banner is one of WoW Forever's new camp decorations: a red Crusade banner that you raise next to a campfire. It gives no buff that anyone has found, so it is a cosmetic, but it has one of the more fun hunts of the game behind it. You collect four Echoes from graves in four zones, then bring them to four statues in the Library of Scarlet Monastery and honor them in the right order.
Below you will find what the banner does, where each Echo is with coordinates, the statue order in the Library, what happens if you get it wrong, and how the banner works at your campsite.
What the Scarlet Banner Does
The Scarlet Banner is a reusable camp item. You raise it at a campsite with a campfire nearby, it stands for 15 minutes, and you can raise it again after an hour. It is not used up, so you only need to earn it once.
| Detail | Scarlet Banner |
|---|---|
| Type | Camp decoration, new in WoW Forever |
| Use | Raise a Scarlet Banner at a campsite. Needs a Campfire nearby |
| Duration and cooldown | Stands for 15 minutes, 1 hour cooldown, 10 second cast |
| Where | Outdoors only, not in combat or in a shapeshift form |

| Buff | None found so far |
Players report that the banner takes one of the camp feature slots at a campfire and puts your other camp features on cooldown, so do not raise it when your group needs that slot for a crafting station. Our WoW Forever camping guide explains how campfires, slots and camp benefits work.
How to Get the Scarlet Banner
The hunt has two parts. First you loot four Echoes from graves: three in the open world and one inside the Graveyard wing of Scarlet Monastery. Then you take all four to the Library wing and use each one at its statue. Each grave gives the Echo to everyone in the group, and none of the Echoes is used up.
Where to Find the Four Echoes
Each Echo sits on a grave that you can loot every time you pass it. These are the four graves:
| Echo | Zone | Grave | Coordinates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arathi Echo | Arathi Highlands | Go'Shek Farm, behind the large barn on the north side | 62.2, 54.0 |
| Theramore Echo | Dustwallow Marsh | Theramore graveyard, just outside Theramore over the bridge | 63.6, 42.4 |
| Swamp Echo | Swamp of Sorrows | By a tree at Splinterspear Junction, near the road from Deadwind Pass | 16.8, 53.7 |
| Graveyard Echo | Scarlet Monastery, Graveyard wing | Halfway through the graves, on the left in a fenced area near the southern mausoleum | Inside the dungeon |
The Theramore grave sits next to an Alliance town, so Horde players should go there with care on a PvP realm.
Arathi Echo: Go'Shek Farm, Arathi Highlands
Theramore Echo: Theramore graveyard, Dustwallow Marsh
Swamp Echo: Splinterspear Junction, Swamp of Sorrows
Statue Order in the Scarlet Monastery Library
The four statues stand in one hallway of the Library wing. After the first boss, follow the hall toward Doan, pass an alcove on the left, and turn into the next hallway on the right. If you reach the long path with pillars and benches, you have gone too far. Standing next to a statue gives you a buff with its name, so you know which one you are at.
Use the Echoes in this order:
- Warrior statue: Swamp Echo.
- Mage statue: Arathi Echo.
- Paladin statue: Theramore Echo.
- Priest statue: Graveyard Echo.
Each statue lights up when you get it right. After the fourth, a banner appears in the middle of the room, and you loot the Scarlet Banner from it. Players report that one person in the group gets it from the banner and the others receive theirs by mail.
What Happens if You Use the Wrong Order
A wrong Echo ends the attempt for that run. You have to leave, reset the dungeon and clear the Library again. You keep your Echoes, so you can try again at once on the new run.
For the rest of the Library, from Arcanist Doan's loot to the quests worth taking along, see our WoW Forever Scarlet Monastery guide.
Scarlet Banner Tips
A few habits make the hunt quicker:
- Collect the open-world Echoes while questing. Arathi Highlands, Dustwallow Marsh and Swamp of Sorrows are all on the way through the 30s and 40s, so loot each grave when you are in the zone instead of flying out for it later.
- Get the Graveyard Echo on the same day as the Library. Both wings are short, and one evening of Scarlet Monastery covers the last Echo and the statues.
- Bring the whole group. Every grave gives the Echo to everyone, and the others get their banner by mail, so one run can give the whole party the banner.
- Write down the order. One wrong click costs a full reset of the Library.
The banner is one of several new items in Forever that come from small puzzles and hunts. Our WoW Forever quest items guide lists the others.
