How to Complete Allegiance to the Old Gods in WoW: Forever (Damp Note Drop and Lorgus Jett)

If you searched for Damp Note in World of Warcraft: Forever, you're probably farming naga outside Blackfathom Deeps and wondering why nothing drops. The Damp Note is a quest item that starts Allegiance to the Old Gods, a two-part Horde chain that ends with a kill inside the dungeon. At launch the note's drop rate was low enough that Blizzard stepped in – the November 6 hotfix notes simply say "Damp Note drop rate increased. Eww."

This guide is for Horde characters. Both parts can be picked up from level 17 in Forever (Classic needed 19 and 20); the quests themselves are level 22 and 26, so you'll want a dungeon group for the second part. It's checked against World of Warcraft: Forever as live on November 11, 2026.

Quick facts

Part 1: get the Damp Note

1. Travel to the Zoram Strand on Ashenvale's north-west coast, where the Blackfathom Deeps entrance sits among half-sunken ruins.
2. Kill Blackfathom Tide Priestesses. These naga casters patrol the flooded tunnels and passages that lead to the dungeon's entrance – outside the instance portal, not inside. This is the single most common mistake: players run the whole dungeon looking for them.
3. Loot the Damp Note. Since the November 6 hotfix it drops noticeably more often, but it's still a random drop – keep clearing priestesses along the approach.
4. Right-click the note to start Allegiance to the Old Gods.
5. Bring it to Je'neu Sancrea at Zoram'gar Outpost: /way 11.6 34.3 Je'neu SancreaCopy Turning it in pays a small amount of silver and experience and unlocks part 2.

If your group is already heading into Blackfathom Deeps, have everyone kill a few priestesses on the way in – each player needs their own note, because a quest started from an item can't simply be shared.

Part 2: kill Lorgus Jett

1. Accept the second Allegiance to the Old Gods from Je'neu Sancrea right after you turn in the note.
2. Run Blackfathom Deeps. Grab Je'neu's other dungeon quests and the rest of the Blackfathom quests at Zoram'gar before you go – they're all completed in the same run.
3. Find and kill Lorgus Jett. He's a Twilight's Hammer shaman; in Classic he spawns in the dungeon's middle section, roughly between Ghamoo-ra and Baron Aquanis. His exact spot varies, so keep an eye out as you clear the halls rather than expecting him in one fixed room.
4. Return to Je'neu Sancrea at Zoram'gar and choose your reward.

Rewards

The final part lets you pick one of two items:

Warcraft Tavern notes that Forever has updated some Blackfathom Deeps quest rewards compared with Classic, so check the tooltip before you choose. Je'neu's quests also give Earthen Ring reputation in Forever on top of Darkspear Trolls reputation – a Forever addition you didn't get in Classic.

Why it's worth doing

Allegiance to the Old Gods is one of the best experience payouts in Blackfathom Deeps for Horde, and Forever gives more experience for dungeon kills too – the November 8 hotfix raised kill XP in dungeons by 50%. Pair it with the dungeon's other Horde quests and one clean run can carry you a big chunk of a level.

Common mistakes and fixes

• Looking inside the dungeon for the note. The Tide Priestesses are outside, in the approach to the portal.
• Giving up because it won't drop. The drop rate was raised on November 6. If you tried during launch week, try again now.
• Turning in at the wrong place. Je'neu Sancrea is at Zoram'gar Outpost on the coast (11.6 34.3), not inside Blackfathom Deeps as in later versions of WoW.
• Missing Lorgus Jett. He doesn't always stand in the same place. If your group finishes Baron Aquanis without seeing him, you've likely walked past his spawn.
• Coming too early. You can pick up the quests at 17, but part 2 is a level 26 quest inside a dungeon. Don't solo-pull the naga packs on the approach below about level 20.
