Scholomance
The Great Ossuary · Original zone 11 of 13 · final boss Darkmaster Gandling
Zone 11 of 13 Opens: Clear Blackrock Mountain (per chain rule) Roster read on v0.141.0
Checked against v0.141.0 roster; chain order re-read on v0.141.0Updated November 5, 2026
Beneath Caer Darrow the Cult of the Damned teaches the art of death. Its students, its dead and its masters fill the Great Ossuary, and Darkmaster Gandling sets the last examination himself. That is the zone's own intro, straight from the game (v0.141.0 build data) — and it names the power you are here to end: Darkmaster Gandling.
The boss lineup, in spawn order
Five bosses, verified from the game's build data. The starter zone's clock (3:00 Hogger, 6:00 Mother Fang, 9:00 Rhahk’Zor, 12:00 Mr. Smite — final Edwin VanCleef 16:00) shows how a chain run paces — per-boss minute marks for this zone are being verified in-game.

Boss abilities
The build lists Scholomance's bosses by name and spawn order. It does not include a per-boss ability script, so this page does not invent one. Crowd control still matters less than movement: the how-to-play page covers that bosses resist stuns, roots and slows.
What drops here
Scholomance's place on the Common-to-Legendary scale was not read off the zone panel. The v0.141.0 English locale adds a separate boss-drop line: "{zone} drops {rarity} pieces for a {class}. Each boss can drop one piece. Missing pieces are prioritised until both are collected. Darkmaster Gandling's weapons drop together." The rarity name in that file is Tier 0.5. Nine classes each have an eight-piece set: Heroism, Soulforge, Beastmaster, Darkmantle, Virtuous, Five Thunders, Sorcerer's, Deathmist and Feralheart. Which weapon is the fixed reward for which class is not in the locale keys we read. Full rules on the items page.
Which class to bring
Class choice for Scholomance is the tier list's pick, not a second ranking kept on this page. A first run wants Paladin up close or Hunter at range. The zone changes which gear rarity you farm. Best class tier list.
Heroic on Scholomance
Heroic is optional on Scholomance. The build says it makes the zone harder for more marks, boss loot and talent experience. The multiplier is filled in on the difficulty tooltip, so this page does not print a number. Those sentences are still in the v0.131.0 strings and in the v0.139.1 file (November 2, 2026). How progress gets faster and the co-op page (lobbies can filter by difficulty).
Mobs in Scholomance
10 mob types roam the zone (roster from the v0.141.0 build data): Reanimated Corpse, Plagued Hatchling, Risen Aberration, Scholomance Student, Risen Bonewarder, Diseased Ghoul, Risen Construct, Necrofiend, Spectral Tutor, Scholomance Dark Summoner.
Version note: this page documents the original game's Scholomance — zone 11 of the 13-zone chain, with its own clock (the community rebuild runs a boss every 2:15 on a 15:00 schedule instead; its Elwynn differs from the original's, which runs 3:00 Hogger, 6:00 Mother Fang, 9:00 Rhahk’Zor, 12:00 Mr. Smite — final Edwin VanCleef 16:00). Gear-tier mapping for the chain follows the v0.91.2 review and is being re-verified. See the maps hub for the full verified chain.
