'''Archbishop Benedictus''' (formerly '''Jarl''', surname unknown) is the leader of the [[Church of the Holy Light]] based out of [[Cathedral of Light]] in the city of Stormwind.
   
  +
==History==
āˆ’
When Solved, Archaeology Fragments form Artifacts. Solved Artifacts can be found in Archaeology's Completed Artifacts tab.
 
  +
[[File:BenedictusWCS.jpg|thumb|left|Archbishop Benedictus]]
  +
The current archbishop is a middle-aged man named Jarl, though following Church tradition he gave up his birth name when he was elected to this high position, and adopted a new, holy name.
   
  +
In his youth, he was the younger son of a wealthy Lordaeron merchant, and was raised to join the family business. He found religion instead, discovering the [[Holy Light]] after meeting an old traveler one night and almost dying when a pack of mercenaries attacked them both. After recovering, Jarl petitioned to join the Church, and was accepted immediately. The kindly Jarl was the student of [[Lordaeron]]'s religious leader, Archbishop [[Alonsus Faol]]. Jarl spent many years learning from his pious master. He rose quickly to the rank of senior priest, and had charge of a large town in Lordaeron when the Scourge appeared. Jarl did his best to evacuate his parishioners and then joined them in their flight to Azeroth. The Church settled him in a town there, but soon promoted him to Stormwind City instead. While there, he helped the Church of Light construct its most striking monument: the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind. He was being considered for promotion to bishop when Archbishop Faol died, and the council chose to elevate him to archbishop instead.<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]], pg. 153-4</ref> The newly named Benedictus took charge of the Church and swore to continue the good work his mentor had begun so many years before.
āˆ’
Most artifacts are common. These give you a little bit of lore or flavor text and an item you can sell for a small profit (presumably to a museum!) The profit increases as the value of the artifact increases. You can estimate this by the number of fragments needed to finish the artifact. You will only find cheaper artifacts at low level, but you can find cheap and valuable artifacts at higher level (the reason for this is we want players to be able to find all the artifacts if they want to). You won't find a second copy of a common object until you have found all the artifacts of that race. If you get stuck at a certain skill level of archaeology or character level, you may find an artifact more than once until you reach the next tier.
 
   
  +
== Politics ==
āˆ’
Some artifacts are rare. These always make a blue or purple item. Many of these have no in-game power and are toys or for flavor. Some of them are actual weapons and armor. The latter items are all bound to account. They aren't heirlooms in that they don't scale, but you can pass them around. So if you are level 80 and you find a level 60 axe, you can always have another character use it when they are level 60. You will never get a rare artifact more than once.
 
  +
Benedictus is a soft-spoken man of average height and stocky build who looks more like a farmer than a religious leader. He still hates the Scourge for destroying his homeland, and has vowed to direct the Church in destroying that threat forever. Despite his quiet ways, Jarl is surprisingly adept at politics ā€” at least in avoiding confrontation and forming alliances ā€” and he has managed to keep the three bishops in check since his elevation.<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', pg. 154</ref>[[File:Benedict.jpg|thumb|Archbishop Benedictus as seen in ''World of Warcraft''.]]
   
  +
==In ''World of Warcraft''==
āˆ’
Sometimes you will find keystones of a race. In certain projects, they can replace 12 fragments per keystone.
 
  +
'''Archbishop Benedictus''' is a level 60 [[elite]] [[quest giver]] located in the [[Cathedral of Light]] in [[Cathedral Square]], in the [[human]] city of [[Stormwind]].
āˆ’
In the below tables, "100 + 3 socket" means that the project can be built of 100 fragments, but also of 88 fragments and one keystone, 76 and 2 keystones, or 64 and 3 keystones.

Not an extremely deadly foe, a small well-planned raid can easily take him out.

Besides melee with his staff, he uses 2 types of Holy Smites, one being 1.5 sec casting time and the other being instant. Both do 1400-1600 Holy damage. He also uses Holy Nova when there are at least 2 targets within melee range of him. He also has a Power Word: Shield spell which he'll use throughout combat.

Really easy fight if you have shaman and warlock in your group. Shaman casts [[purge]] if Archbishop Benedictus uses PW:shield and [[spam]]s [[Grounding Totem]]. Warlock casts [[Felhunter]]s [[Devour Magic]] when Benedictus cast shield and holy fire. Warrior is good tank because warriors can use [[Spell Reflection]] to reflect his spells. Use any [[AoE]] to kill his [[Add]]s. Try to pull him to catacombs so guards and players wont help him.

History

File:BenedictusWCS.jpg

Archbishop Benedictus

The current archbishop is a middle-aged man named Jarl, though following Church tradition he gave up his birth name when he was elected to this high position, and adopted a new, holy name.

In his youth, he was the younger son of a wealthy Lordaeron merchant, and was raised to join the family business. He found religion instead, discovering the Spell holy surgeoflight [Holy Light] after meeting an old traveler one night and almost dying when a pack of mercenaries attacked them both. After recovering, Jarl petitioned to join the Church, and was accepted immediately. The kindly Jarl was the student of Lordaeron's religious leader, Archbishop Alonsus Faol. Jarl spent many years learning from his pious master. He rose quickly to the rank of senior priest, and had charge of a large town in Lordaeron when the Scourge appeared. Jarl did his best to evacuate his parishioners and then joined them in their flight to Azeroth. The Church settled him in a town there, but soon promoted him to Stormwind City instead. While there, he helped the Church of Light construct its most striking monument: the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind. He was being considered for promotion to bishop when Archbishop Faol died, and the council chose to elevate him to archbishop instead.[1] The newly named Benedictus took charge of the Church and swore to continue the good work his mentor had begun so many years before.

Politics

Benedictus is a soft-spoken man of average height and stocky build who looks more like a farmer than a religious leader. He still hates the Scourge for destroying his homeland, and has vowed to direct the Church in destroying that threat forever. Despite his quiet ways, Jarl is surprisingly adept at politics ā€” at least in avoiding confrontation and forming alliances ā€” and he has managed to keep the three bishops in check since his elevation.[2]

Archbishop Benedictus as seen in World of Warcraft.

In World of Warcraft

Archbishop Benedictus is a level 60 elite quest giver located in the Cathedral of Light in Cathedral Square, in the human city of Stormwind.

Quests

Tactics

Not an extremely deadly foe, a small well-planned raid can easily take him out.

Besides melee with his staff, he uses 2 types of Holy Smites, one being 1.5 sec casting time and the other being instant. Both do 1400-1600 Holy damage. He also uses Holy Nova when there are at least 2 targets within melee range of him. He also has a Power Word: Shield spell which he'll use throughout combat.

Really easy fight if you have shaman and warlock in your group. Shaman casts Spell nature purge [Purge] if Archbishop Benedictus uses PW:shield and spams Spell nature groundingtotem [Grounding Totem]. Warlock casts Felhunters Spell nature purge [Devour Magic] when Benedictus cast shield and holy fire. Warrior is good tank because warriors can use Ability warrior shieldreflection [Spell Reflection] to reflect his spells. Use any AoE to kill his Adds. Try to pull him to catacombs so guards and players wont help him.

Trivia

  • "Benedictus" (or "Benedict") is a Latin name that has been the regnal name of sixteen popes of the Catholic Church, including the current Pope Benedict XVI. Given that Archbishop Benedictus' position as head of the Church of Light is similar to that of a pope, it is possible that the Archbishop's name was influenced by the traditional latin name. However, Archbishop Benedictus was created when John Paul II was the pope, long before the reign of Benedictus XVI and so Archbishop Benedictus could not have been named after the current pope.
  • Archbishop Benedictus' new voice reassembles that of Chancellor Palaptine/Darth Sidious of Star Wars saga, which reflects Benedictus nature, that of a two faced agent of Darkness
