How to unlock World Quests in Shadowlands

Since their introduction to the game, World Quests have been a key system for World of Warcraft players to net gear, gold, and reputation. The upcoming Shadowlands expansion will offer WQs that continue to fill that same role.

We’re still waiting on specifics about how WQs will slot into the Shadowlands experience, and it’s something we’ve thought a lot about, but we at least know how you can unlock them and get your end-stage characters into the broader efforts to keep Azeroth and the afterlife a safer place.

The core of Shadowlands centers on your Covenant choice. Currently, in the Shadowlands beta, unlocking World Quests is pretty simple. At level 60, you’ll need to make your Covenant selection and complete the group’s introductory quest chain in order to fully open up the end game, including World Quests. Here’s who you should be looking out for in each hub area:

• For the Kyrian, your training quest ends with Our Eternal Charge. Turn it in to Polemarch Adrestes in Bastion.
• The Necrolords are led by Baroness Draka. She is your end point for the final No Rest For the Dead quest.
• The nature-loving Night Fae story line unsurprisingly follows an arboreal bent, ending with The Endless Forest. Go to Lady Moonberry to turn in the final quest.
• Secure your saga with the slippery Venthyr with the Our True Purpose quest. Talking to Prince Renathal will end the arc.

Keep in mind that since Shadowlands is still in beta, there have already been some bugs cropping up around World Quests. Some players can’t see them at all, some are seeing them appear below level 60. Also, the details of these quests could change between the ongoing beta and eventual launch day.
