Scholomance was one of the instances originally lost to time, receiving a revamp in Mists of Pandaria. The revamp has led to several transmogs and recipes being lost to time and becoming unobtainable. However, in Patch 10.1.5, you're now able to regain access to the old instance!

This allows you to see ghosts in Caer Darrow. Once you do, you can talk to Eva at her old spot outside Scholomance, where she will request you to look for her journal, as well as five candles, to perform a horrible ritual. The candles are
