Prepare Past Due

Record #96800 · Alliance · Scarlet Monastery. The recorded acceptance minimum is 30; the quest level 38 is a separate field.

Your objective checklist

Keep separate counters for the recorded objective. Mark a box only after the in-game log confirms that condition. Partial stacks, uncredited kills and the final handover are separate checks.

Item comparisons use our equipment snapshot. Required level describes wearing the item, not accepting this quest. Compare the slot and useful stats against what you already own.

Plan this dungeon visit

Compare Scarlet Monastery equipment and acquisition evidence. Check the named objective before entering; a dungeon equipment association does not establish where a quest item drops.

Source limitation: Observed giver/turn-in uses an unresolved creature ID; do not replace it with prose NPC name.

FOREVER TAVERN QUEST GUIDE

Past Due: start at Tempered Tomes and keep the book objective separate

Forever Tavern editorial · Updated October 12, 2026

Basis: Beta-client record and, where identified, public WFT Beta Log observations reviewed October 12, 2026. Suggested decisions are editorial advice, not independent gameplay verification. Not independently playtested.

What the record establishes

Past Due is an Alliance quest with a minimum acceptance level of 30, despite its quest-level label of 38. The October 10 beta log records pickup from NPC #264265 in City of Dalaran, Tempered Tomes, 9.5, 63.1. The requested book is The Lost Magic of the Runemasters. The narrative points to Arcanist Doan in Scarlet Monastery, but does not establish whether the book is a boss drop or an object interaction.

Suggested approach

  1. Accept the task before the monastery trip

    Use the reported Dalaran pickup as a reference and confirm the book task is in your own log. Its dungeon category identifies the objective destination; it is not evidence that acceptance happens at the monastery entrance.

  2. Tell the party which retrieval you need

    Share the exact book title before entering. Keep its objective distinct from other monastery book quests. Follow current quest clues and inspect relevant eligible loot or interactions without assuming that a dungeon clear automatically awards the tome.

  3. Verify possession before arranging the return

    At the group’s stopping point, inspect the personal book counter and inventory. Use the current log for the handover destination: the reviewed beta log records pickup only, so its coordinate is not independently confirmed as a return point.

Planning notes

The main planning risk is arriving with the wrong retrieval quest, or with no accepted task at all. A title-and-item check before travel is more valuable than an untested farming claim. If companions have other book objectives, compare their exact names so each person knows which completion notification matters. Read actual reward tooltips only after confirming retrieval.

If progress stalls

We have not verified the book’s exact position, drop probability or a safe solo strategy. Doan’s mention is a search clue, not proof of guaranteed loot. The quest minimum, displayed quest level and dungeon entry requirement are separate fields.
