This guide contains A LOT of spoilers!*What is The War of the Thorns?"Conflict emerges in Darkshore as the Horde and Alliance battle for control over Teldrassil in this limited time event!"

Part onepart twoWhy are We Fighting?

Sylvanas: "Time is not a luxury we possess, but I respect your desire to know more. THIS has forever altered the balance of power in Azeroth. Deposits of Azerite are being located across the world, <player>. Though we do not yet understand its full potential, it is clear that this substance has vast destructive capability. What will war look like in twenty years? In a hundred? How can the Horde hope to defend its borders if the Alliance controls the flow of Azerite?"

Sylvanas: "What IS certain is that the Alliance will use Darnassus as a safe harbor for funneling Azerite into the Eastern Kingdoms. Anduin Wrynn will build powerful new weapons, and sooner or later he will turn them upon our homelands. First he will strike at the Undercity and Silvermoon, then his gaze will fall upon Kalimdor. For the sake of the Horde's future, we must be the first to act. By occupying Darnassus, we will control the flow of Azerite and ensure it cannot be used against us. The Alliance will dare not attack its own city for fear of harming civilians. With a single stroke, we will guarantee generations of peace."

Sylvanas: "The kaldorei will defy our occupation... unless we break their sprits. We must inflict a blow that will show them what is at stake. They need to lose something... someone... in whom they have absolute trust and faith. A symbol of hope. <The Dark Lady narrows her eyes.> Malfurion Stormrage must die."

Malfurion Stormrage: "The Banshee Queen seeks to capture the World Tree."
Malfurion Stormrage: "Delaryn, travel to our outposts. Gather every soldier you can find and bring them here."
Malfurion Stormrage: "<player>, I ask that you see to the defense of Darnassus."
Captain Delaryn Summermoon: "And you, Shan'do?"
Malfurion Stormrage:" Sylvanas seeks to engage me, and I plan to give her what she wants. Word has been sent to our fleet. Elune willing, they will soon return."
Captain Delaryn Summermoon: "As you command!"

Myara Sunsong: "We must take action! Sentinels, forwards face!"
Myara Sunsong: "Fourth Fleet, you are to reinforce the southern border of Darkshore! Bring the Glaive Throwers!"
Myara Sunsong: "Fifth Fleet, create a battle line at the Wildbend River! Rouse our allies at the Grove of the Ancients!"
Myara Sunsong: "Hippogryph Archers, come with me. We will regroup in Lor'danel and remain vigilant as a mobile response unit!"
Myara Sunsong: "That leaves you, hero. Report back to Captain Summermoon and reinforce that border!"
Myara Sunsong: "I have something that can help."

Captain Delaryn Summermoon: "That sound... could it be...?"
Malfurion Stormrage: "The north? How did... Oh, they scaled the mountains of Felwood. Of course!"
Malfurion Stormrage: "The wisps... they're growing disoriented! The wall is failing!"
Captain Delaryn Summermoon: "Horde forces are advancing upon Lor'danel! Champion, to me!"

High Overlord Saurfang: "The warchief faces Stormrage alone! I must..."
Malfurion Stormrage : "ARGH! Saur...fang?!"
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner : "An audience--perfect! Stay still, Alliance dog. Watch me strike down one of your greatest heroes!"
High Overlord Saurfang: "A dishonorable blow. I... regret it."
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: "Regret nothing. You did well."
High Overlord Saurfang: "It was not my place to interfere."
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: "My victory was inevitable. He was merely wasting my time."
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: "Finish him and be done with it. Take a moment, if you like... then take his head. Meet me at the World Tree."
Malfurion Stormrage : "You have led... your Horde... in service... of death. You will... regret this day..."
High Overlord Saurfang: "I struck without honor. I did not deserve to end him."
Tyrande Whisperwind : "The entire war is without honor. How dare you spill so much blood... for nothing!"
High Overlord Saurfang : "Not for nothing. We spill blood so that the Horde will endure."
Tyrande Whisperwind : "Because you spared Malfurion, I will offer you a choice."
Tyrande Whisperwind : "Attempt to stop me from taking him away, and die... or remain there, kneeling in the dirt, and live."
High Overlord Saurfang : "You have a choice as well. Take him to Darnassus and both of you will fall when we conquer ir... or flee somewhere far from here, so that you both survive."
Tyrande Whisperwind : "This war is lost. Teldrassil will soon fall."
Tyrande Whisperwind : "Take my hippogryph to Darnassus. Ensure that the Horde's occupation is as... tolerable as it can be."
Tyrande Whisperwind : "King Anduin gave me a hearthstone back to Stormwind. There I will tend my love's wound... and help my people find respite from this madness."

From the Ashes

Anduin Wrynn : "You have shown courage and heart, champion. On this, one of the Alliance's darkest days.
Anduin Wrynn : "My whole life, I have prayed for peace in this world.
Anduin Wrynn : "But that dream can never be realized so long as Sylvanas Windrunner leads the Horde.
Anduin Wrynn : "She expects this atrocity to crush our spirits. Shatter our unity. But this I vow...
Anduin Wrynn : "The Alliance will endure... and the Banshee Queen's insidious reign will be ended.

Nathanos Blightcaller: "A wall of wisps? Surely it is nothing our dark rangers and a few demolishers cannot overcome, my lady."
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: "The scouting party I led to Malfurion underestimated the wisps. They paid the price for doing so."
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: "We cannot destroy the wisps... not in numbers enough to matter. But we may be able to disperse them."
Zarvik Blastwix: "You want explosions? Buddy, you got it. Hop into one of these beauties and take it for a spin."
High Overlord Saurfang: "Interesting. The wisps respond to Malfurion's call. But what if more of the forest were to cry out for help?"

Additional Details from CE NovellasElegyA Good War

More details on Sylvanas' motivations for war. Worried about past actions of the Alliance, including Genn in Stormheim, she believes any peace will be short-lived. She plans to strike Darnassus first while the Alliance are diverted and their naval fleet is weakened after Legion. Then she hopes the Alliance will be hesitant to attack Undercity, as the Horde could threaten Darnassus. The Alliance hopefully would then fall into further bickering as they determine where to strike next, losing to the Horde.

We learn more details on the Night Elf resistance--they know they can't win the war at the start due to the sheer number imbalance, and focus on buying time to evacuate the citizens. We also get to know Delaryn a lot better in the novella, including her sudden rise to leadership, and how in spite of her inexperience, she enacts several successful defenses.

We also get more information on why Tyrande is mostly-absent from the questline. She's originally in Stormwind to plan the counter-attack on Silithus, then stays in Stormwind to provide leadership to the refugees coming from Darnassus.

It is implied that Elune, or Tyrande's prayer to Elune, was involved in Saurfang's decision to spare Malfurion.

It's still fairly-spontaneous why Sylvanas decides to burn the tree. However, she was incredibly vexed that Saurfang did not kill Malfurion, and was thinking of a new way to destroy morale among the Night Elves.

Saurfang undergoes a character transformation of sorts, questioning his honor and feeling guilt for his actions in past wars. This sets things up nicely for his resignation in the Battle for Lordaeron. We also learn Sylvanas is worried that Saurfang could become a great enemy of hers if he ever lost his sense of honor or left the Horde.

Most worryingly, Sylvanas has yet another motive for her actions, one bigger than the Alliance or the Horde.

Commento di Garmheim

Yes, it's only a game. And, yes, it simply mirrors the kind of madness we have seen in Rwanda, Bosnia and elsewhere but I still cannot get past the fact that, regardless of motives, the burning of Teldrassil is a great crime. My main is an Undead Mage who has been loyal to the Banshee Queen throughout my game play but this level of genocidal attack horrifies me. I will play through the scenario. I will get my mount yet I will be forever embarrassed to be part of a Horde that could do such things and follower of a leader who could order such destruction. I hear rumors that one day Thrall will return from Deepholm to ally with Khadgar in a peace faction that will work to reconcile the races of Azeroth and focus them on their true enemies, the Old Gods. I for one long to see that and will happily pledge my services to such a faction. I cannot join the Alliance and am now ashamed to be part of the Horde. I hope for a better world once we deal with the insanity of this one. Years ago I thought that one day this old mage would retire to a little house perhaps on some floating island above Nagrand, one with a tree for shade and a spring that drains down onto that fertile land. This horrid act makes me wish that day would come soon.

Commento di Mystofdarkness

I just thought i would mention that i spotted a typo in this that you may wanna fix .

The War of the Thorns is the pre-patch event which will start on August 24th last until August 14th, the launch day of Battle for Azeroth.

I'm guessing that was supposed to say July 24th instead of August 24th lol

Commento di sanfordrm

Do we need to have purchased the BFA pre-order to participate in these chains? My main is on an account that has all the Collector's Editions, and I wont buy that until it is released in August.

Commento di hagbarddd

any1 knows how long this questchain will be? i mean in hours played i was planning to resubscribe 1 day before bfa

Commento di Siren4795

Do we know how long the quest chain will last? Will it last more than three weeks? Can it still be done during BFA?

Commento di ken68m

Does anyone know if we need to complete both quest lines to get both mounts or does doing one count for both?

Commento di Anaxilea

Are these quests only available at max level?

Commento di gunsotsu

the pre-event world quests reward us with gear that has a lower item level than antorus lfr..what a bleepin joke. check here to see where i got this information

Commento di lambd1

Is the World Quest "Wicked Kegger" correct, as listed in the article? Because something about it seems wrong to me. It is stated to be an Alliance side WQ, but why would an Alliance player be trying to slay ten Alliance defenders? It reads more like a Horde side WQ, that got mis-categorized. In fact, it sounds like a Horde side counterpart the "Detonate!" WQ.

Commento di irthinker

Thank you for the detailed guide. Lots of great info in there.

One thing - The notes above speak of the War of Thorns questline beginning the 17th of July. It does not appear to be in play as of the 18th. Any info on when it will?

Commento di padmanek

"Once pre-patch hits on July 17th, the Horde will receive a quest upon logging called The Warchief Awaits which requires players to report to Sylvanas in the Undercity."

Nope. Not getting anything.

Commento di Ristow

I understood the references! Alot of Queen's music hahahah

Commento di Lisq33

I am very mad at Blizzard for burning the Teldrassil and Darnassus... I know some players may like drastic stories like killing two faction champions or destroying two capital cities, but I don't like it.

I loved the Teldrassil zone, it was my first experience with World of Warcraft in 2008 and the best zone to level a new char. After 10 years I still remember most of the quests, monsters and places in Teldrassil. I am emotionally connected with that beautiful place and beautiful Darnassus city. I used to go there many times to have a nice, calm time in this lovely city.

If they decide to rebuild them in the future I may forgive them.

At the moment I am pissed off and... sad. :(

Commento di Sarthorius

If you want my opinion, that Teldrassil's burning seems fishy to me. Mark my words: Sylvannas might not be the cause of it, she was all about conquering and stuff, but in my opinion, she would TAKE Teldrassil from the Night-elves, maybe burn some things, but remember, there are Druids on horde side too, that place might still be sacred to them too, since Druids of both faction tend to be neutral on each other.
My best guess is that 'Queen' Azshara (not Queen Sylvannas) is to blame for that massive burnout. She serves an Old Gold, probably the same that commanded Xavius since forever, then Neltharion. Xavius who hated Malfurion and his druids, Malfurion who defeated him at the Rift of Aln in Legion, freeing his Shan'do Cenarius. It seems to me that Sylvannas attack came in a proper time for Azshara and her minions, Teldrassil is surrounded by sea at all sides, she could have discovered, who knows, an underwater cave that could lead to the top of Teldrassil, and waited for when Sylvannas attack came...

And no one else would know the real reason for Teldrassil burning, but blame it all on Sylvannas. Then came Lordaeron attack... Yeah, the expansion could be all about old faction wounds, but we already know Azshara, and even N'zoth, could play a major role later, making this faction struggle pale in comparison. Besides, N'zoth is well known for corrupting very strong characters: Neltharion, Xavius, Azshara... What if he managed to corrupt Sylvannas? N'zoth too could be another force wanting Azeroth's blood, Azerite, he is an Old God.

Another strong motive for Azshara to be the culprit is that she hated Tyrande and all her Night-elves, for what they did during the War of the Ancients. One could blame Thalyssra and her Nightborne too but, during the War if the Ancients they simply hid away below their inpregnable shield, while Tyrande chose to fight Azshara, her highborne and Sargeras' demons.

Commento di FatCheeseMan

So are the world quests available after part one? Or not till next week? I have alts still in all greens that need some catchup.

Commento di Semichrist

In order to unlock the world quests, you must complete either the Horde or the Alliance War of the Thorns questline.

After you do the questline on one character, your alts of that faction will receive an option from the faction leader to skip straight to the World Quests.

Commento di Damastes

They need to update this guide as there where now fey dragons to attack horde, just trees. also missing quests to save furblogs and destroy demolishers

Commento di Molatov

Oh these Queen references... ♥ you for this Blizz.

Commento di ZuKeeper1970

This "event" was very underwhelming. All I can say is thank goodness you can skip it all on alts. I was hoping we'd get some sort of real event, like the invasions leading up to Legion.

Commento di JohnEP

I would assume that the the War of the Thorns questline that leads to the mounts needs only to be done by one alt? I would hate to have to do it with all 14 of my alliance 110s... Is it a prerequisite for launching into BFA for a character for instance?

Commento di ladyredbingo

While I happy for all this information on the quest line, it is a bit confusing. I'm sitting here thinking there is more for me to do in the quest line with all this information.

Why can't you just post Chapter One information, and so on as the weeks count down? Then after the last chapter you can combine into one post.

Commento di evilmark443

do the world quests give any unique transmogs?

Commento di Amendz

I flew around darnassus yesterday to say goodbye. I had forgotten how dated it was. I can see people being upset by the burning...but I am kinda glad blizz did. Now we can rebuild with better graphics!

Commento di neghvar

I wonder what Y'Sera and Alexstraza think of this since they both blessed Teldrasil back during the novel "Stormrage" Also, they cannot truly kill Malfurion. He is in tune with the Emerald Dream that when killed, his spirit would return to the Emerald Dream and eventually regen into a living being. Cenarius returned in Cataclysm after he was slain by Grom Hellscream in Warcraft 3. About how many years was that?

Commento di GorgothNZ

The cinematic that we haven't yet seen from part 2 will be what reveals if this is actual destruction by Silvanas or a tragic accident while trying to take territory. I personally suspect its an accident involving Azzerite and its volatility based on nothing more than this was supposed to be an occupation to prevent aggression by the alliance, like they did in stormheim or should i say Greymane did . But we shall see.

Commento di chechar

I say the Black Prince's hand is behind the burning of Teldrassil

Commento di Vremon

i don't like it i mean normaly night elf don't have a city anymore its so ridiculous how they change time just with a single npc i mean if a new player create a night elf and he will spawn him in teldrasil but he saw that tree was burned aleardy ,i mean new night elf should be spawn in new zone like in stormwind where is darnassus ambasade or at the tree in mount of hyjal that should be to corect timeline or storyline etc..not when u create a night elf just spawn still there in teldrasil (where that suposed to be burned i mean when u create a night elf ,you create in present time of battle of azeroth where is no tree ,blizzard will never respect chronological time ,that why from my opinion they are so bad from this point of view). But actually when a new player create a new night elf he can stay there make leveling visit the Darnassus City.Hope they will make something like in foward patch for night elf to take teldrasil back.(same with ruins of lordaeron ,for my opinion its a bad story for them its like destroyed but its not..this moment when u talk with a npc to change time don't feel like a real storyline its like a improvisation from them ).

Commento di ScorpioSymbol

As a Horde Druid, it makes no sense whatsoever that I'd be asked to kill Malfurion, or that I'd accept the task!

Sylvannas isn't the trusting kind, there's no way she'd send someone potentially conflicted to do such a thing, and there's no way a Druid would agree to assassinate Malfurion, it just doesn't make sense lore wise.

This feels a lot like a Red/Blue/Green ending kind of choice, where no consideration of the character performing the action has been plotted out. It would have been nice to have a slightly different quest for Horde Druids, at the very least.

The next time I return to my Order Hall, I fully expect to have my butt whooped by a pack of very angry Cenarions.

Commento di JaceDraccus

Maybe I missed something, but the Alliance quest Long Away doesn't seem to be in the event on live. I wasn't offered it, just went straight from finding Malfurion in Darkshore to killing furbolgs and talking to hidden druids.

EDIT: My bad, Long Away is there but it comes after "Rock" The World. It's Dragon Attack that is completely missing.

Commento di fuzzcrumpet

The "this is fine" strip was originally created by K.C. Green as part of his webcomic Gunshow. You can read the original here!

Commento di regma

Come on now. We all know who's really at fault for the burning.

After the defeat of the Legion, someone figure that there should be a big party and had the "bright" idea of hiring a chef.
And of course who did they get? Nomi of course.

"Wait... Does anyone smell something burning?" :D

Commento di zorozax

How to skip to world quests on alts if you've done the first week's questline on a character already:

Really? Didn't learn your history on what happened to Archimonde?

I find this has some bad storytelling already. "Let's kill "

If I do the questchain with an Alliance char, would I get the Horde Bat unlocked for future Horde chars as well, or not? Did anyone try/check this on PTR or in Beta?

Commento di Grizzard

Important question about the Armor Sets. In the Pre-Legion patch there were sets for each armor type, but now we got one set for each class.
Will it be possible to unlock it for all the classes without having to play them all ? (It's way too annoying)

Commento di KyBelle01

Is anyone having any problems with these WQ NOT showing up after you've completed the quest line? I did them fine the first day but the 2nd day NONE showed up on my hunter but I can see them on my other alts and they still aren't showing up yet today.

UPDATED: Ok I never found any other info regarding this problem on wowhead but I decided to take my hunter out to Darkshore and see if by some miracle. lol the WQ might actually just pop up when I entered the spots where they should be and low and behold they did. So even if you don't see them on your map, head on out there and they might just pop up when you enter each area. I just looked on the map of one of my alts to see where they were located and when I flew into that area they all popped up but never did show up on my map. I hope this info was helpful to someone else.

UPDATED 8/1/2018: Received this from GM: I went ahead and hopped onto your character here, and after a few attempts it looks like I was able to get the world quests to show up for me! The main thing that finally worked was this console command in specific:

/console cvar_default

I hope this infor helps!

I play a Blood elf Death Knight, i like to think that i am/was a loyal DK to Lich King Arthas after i was turned, but since He's "gone" i want to be loyal to Sylvanas until Bolvar proves me that He's a true Lich King, so i am really interested in Sylvanas and if She can be a Queen for the Death Knights then i don't care about some damn tree or some lowborn elfs, fuel for the Scorge!.

Just want to note that once you complete this as one faction, you have access to the other mount. Just did the campaign on my Horde toon and I couldn't learn the mount because I already had it. I don't know if this was stated somewhere else but thought I would give a heads up.

Commento di Blizerkian

Does anyone know how to skip the part 2 chain on your alts? I skipped all the part 1s on all of my alts. But Malfurion and the captain have no dialog options on the dock where part 1 finishes. I also tried going to the king and using that option. It didn't work.

Commento di D34thsEyEs

Does War of the Thorns require the pre-purchase of Battle for Azeroth? Just wanted to make sure everyone, even the ones that have not pre-ordered the latest expansion, has a chance of doing these quest-lines.

Commento di katherinne

If you are still trying to level Legion followers, they will get exp if they can be a bodyguard. Just equip them.
Also, if you have them set up to give resources while accompanying you, you will get that too when you turn in the WQs.

Commento di katherinne

Taking the Darnassus portal after doing the scenario takes you to Lor'danel but not at the FP. There appears to be a double port though so takes a bit longer.

So I've noticed that the weapons from the Darkshore world quests are spec specific. Is there a way to change what spec you get weapons for? I keep getting prot weapons for my warrior and arcane weapons for my mage despite what spec of loot spec I'm in.

I can't handle all those Queen references... Even "more obscure" ones... Nice tribute!

Speaking as someone who has lived through a fire raging across where they live, I plan to never do the Alliance side quests again. Not because it's too difficult or annoying but because it brings out very difficult memories. I write this so that I can let others know who have lived through fires that the quest where you try to save as many civilians as you can is not just heartbreaking. When I was doing it I could feel those same emotions and same panic as when the fires were going on in California October of 2017. I know I did not handle it well, and I hope anyone else can deal with it better, but I just know that I cannot do that quest again. I simply wanted to make this comment so that others could be sufficiently ready for what this quest might feel like. Thankfully when finishing up on either side it gives you both mounts so if you wanna get both and don't want to go through that just do Horde side. Or vice versa if you cannot stand standing with anything Horde atm. Whatever your choice best of luck.

"There are some inconsistencies in the plot, which hopefully will be addressed later:

1) At the start of this war, Sylvanas claims she wants to occupy Darnassus. However, Delaryn seems worried that as part of Sylvanas' invasion, she'll want to kill more innocent civilians.
2) None of the faction leaders look shocked or try to stop Sylvanas when she orders the tree to be burned--even Saurfang, who values honor.
3) When Sylvanas gives the orders to burn the tree, there are convenient siege weapons aimed perfectly at the tree, as if they were set up for this purpose.
4) After the Horde plays through the quest and talks to Sylvanas, she expresses regret that this is not the victory they hoped for. This is a puzzling statement as she decided to change course. Is she lying to us? Did she secretly want to burn the tree and lied to the player so we'd help her? Or did she genuinely want to occupy the city, and flew into a fit of rage and pettiness at Delaryn, similar to Arthas' choice to deny Sylvanas a quick death."

I see no inconsitencies here, and these points are easily explained:

1) Occupying Darnassus was probably the plan, but plans need to change on the fly, in battle. of course Delaryn is worried about the innocent civilians, as anyone would be.
2) In the cinematic, you don't see any Horde leaders, except for one in the background, so I'm not sure where you saw their "looks", but, she's the Warchief and she gave a very direct order. There is honor in obeying your Warchief.
3) Of course there were siege weapons present. They were planning to take the city. They wouldn't make a dent in that tree, so I son't see them as being part of some secret agenda.
4) I wouldn't say that what she expressed was regret, more of a "Too bad it's come to this, but this is what we must do" kind of thing. Your last idea on this one was probably the most correct.

Sylvaanas: "Hope fails"
Delaryn: "You can kill us, but you cannot kill hope"

Sylvanas looks at the Tree.. Hmmm..

We're at war, and The Horde has just destroyed a major Alliance city. I'd call that a win for us! Lok'tar Ogar!

**BTW: I've done this questline on both Horde and Alliance. Same conclusions. If anything, seeing that cinematic flashback to HOW Sylvanas became Forsaken makes me feel more empathy for her. But, she's gonna get wrecked. Like all the Horde Warchiefs..

Can't fly from Darkshore to Rut'theran Village anymore. In Character, I could imagine the heat and smoke are just too much to get that close.

LMBO, the option to pass the second week's phase up is set AT THE END OF THE PHASE. LOL, I just finished it on the 12th alt and noticed when I turned it into King Anduin it gave me the option, "I've seen this before." stuff. Too late, Blizzard, too late. That needs to be at the beginning with Malfurion. I have this incredible urge to say, "Duh!"

I really appreciate the Queen references! And the two mounts!

Commento di 0Aloreth

With those words, Sylvanas flies into a fit of rage, screaming at Nathanos to set Teldrassil alight, making sure to tilt Delaryn's face so she's forced to watch the tree burn.

Absolutely wrong. She yells at Nathanos because he hesitated to follow her orders. She burned the tree to break the night elves' spirits, not out of rage.

can you get to burning Darnassus as horde?

Can anyone confirm if World Quests drop neck/trink/rings or not?

Blizzard story telling has lots of issues.

Illidan became a good-guy, while we know he tortured , enslaved people of outland. (remember Akama's people?)
Horde leaders used for pushing the story even though it caused lots of personality dilemma.
(Garrosh quotes Saurfang , kills his commander because he fought dishonorably, then what? embraces Sha? Some one who lived with shame of demon blood tainted father all that time, forgots that ? )
There is resurrection, healing in game but no one can heal one of the greatest troll leaders?
Shadow priests become void priests all of a sudden.
Warlocks does not play major role in a Legion expansion.?
Malfurion can protect an entire map but cannot stop Xavius?
Malygos cannot cast a silence, any interrupt?
Tirion , greatest strategist of LK expansion, somehow rushes ahead alone?
While there are portals teleports and spaceships all around, Horde are attacking because of Logistical reasons? To block trade routes? LOL

They sacrificed story consistency because of this Deus-Ex Machina's

So everyone should think twice before labeling one side evil/good because of this.

They tried to tell a story with shades of gray but failed. They are not ABLE to manage a good story arc so we should think/judge/criticise. WoW lore lost that quality after LK imo. Maybe it's the downside of MMO and can't be done i don't know.

If you want to talk over good/gray/evil go play real RPG'S ... Baldur's Gate Series The Witcher Deus Ex you get the point....

A section on rewards and the Darkshore dailies needs to be added to this guide.

Blizzard don't care about the story or logic, they only care about shareholders and so make some half baked idea that gets everyone hooked and sucker punched in the gut. Stop being fooled by their psychology and getting dragged in and then maybe they will listen. - - Druids can't attack the root of druidism even though I'd like the new mount Blizzard can kindly insert it where the sun doesn't shine.

Commento di Lazare69

As for the Horde World Quests, this one was forgotten in your guide: Ciò che è nostro è nostro. I know this because as soon as the WQs opened for me, I was given it.
Cheers!
