How to Get the Scarlet Banner in WoW Forever & What It Does

Written by Geekmandem - 11th November 2026

If you've spotted someone with a big red Scarlet Crusade flag next to their campfire and wondered where on earth they got it, that's the Scarlet Banner, and getting your own means solving a little ghost hunt that drags you across four zones before it ends in the Scarlet Monastery Library.

You'll loot four Echoes from graves around Azeroth, then use each one at the right statue in the Library, in the right order, and the banner's yours.

What Is the Scarlet Banner in WoW Forever?

The Scarlet Banner is a campsite object, so you plonk it down at a campfire the same way you would something like the Blacksmithing Anvil. Except this one doesn't give you a buff or do anything useful right now; it's there purely to make your camp look like a Crusade outpost. Blizzard could hang an effect on it later, but for now you're doing this one for the drip.

How To Get The Scarlet Banner In WoW Forever

In order to obtain the Scarlet Banner, you will first have to travel to four locations and interact with an Echo in each.

Scarlet Banner Echo Locations

Each Echo comes from clicking a grave, and you can grab them in whatever order suits your route; the only rule is you need all four in your bags before you head into the Library.

Note: The Library piece of the puzzle in the Library is the hardest just because of the location; you will need to ask your group to clear the area.

Echo Zone Coordinates Where to look
Arathi Echo Arathi Highlands
/way Arathi Highlands 62.2 54.0
Behind the barn at Go'shek Farm, on the east side of the zone.
Theramore Echo Dustwallow Marsh
/way Dustwallow Marsh 63.5 42.4
Theramore Graveyard, just over the bridge from Theramore Isle.
Swamp Echo Swamp of Sorrows
/way Swamp of Sorrows 16.8 53.6
By a tree at Splinterspear Junction, near where you come in from Deadwind Pass at the destroyed tower.
Graveyard Echo Scarlet Monastery Graveyard Inside the dungeon About halfway through the grave area, on your left inside a fenced-off bit near the south mausoleum where the rare spawn boss can be.

The Graveyard Echo is the only one inside an instance, so it's worth leaving it until last and rolling straight into a Library run afterwards. The two dungeons are the closest in terms of level, so look to head to Scarlet Monastery around level 32 or 33 when it’s easiest to find groups for both wings

Scarlet Monastery Library Statue Order

With all four Echoes on you, head into the Library wing and find the four statues lined up in one of the hallways (shown above), and if you can't tell who's who, just stand next to one and you'll get a buff telling you which character it is. Then use the Echoes in this exact order:

Order Statue Echo to use
1 Warrior (Blake Godwyn) Swamp Echo
2 Mage (Primwell Skye) Arathi Echo
3 Paladin (Janet Kaitway) Theramore Echo
4 Priest (Brother Paxwell) Graveyard Echo

Nail all four, and the Scarlet Banner is yours. The item will go straight into your bag once you loot the banner that gets placed in the middle of the room.

IMPORTANT: Get the order wrong, and there's no second go on the same run; you'll need to leave and reset the instance before trying again, so double-check which Echo you're clicking before you hit it.

Overall, this is a pretty simple thing to get done with a small amount of travel, enjoy!

Scarlet Banner FAQ

How do you get the Scarlet Banner in WoW Forever?

Loot four Echoes from graves in Arathi Highlands, Dustwallow Marsh, Swamp of Sorrows and the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard, then use them at the Warrior, Mage, Paladin and Priest statues in the Scarlet Monastery Library, in that order.

Does the Scarlet Banner give a buff?

Not right now; it's a purely cosmetic campsite object that just makes your camp look the part.

What level do you need for the Scarlet Banner?

The Library is tuned for roughly level 33-41, so that's when you'll want to tackle the final step, though the three open-world Echoes can be grabbed whenever you're passing through.

Do I lose the Echoes after use?

No, which means you are able to do it again in future for other people or try another time.
