“The Forces Gather” Quest Not Triggering After “This Old Waystone” – Zereth Mortis Campaign Bug

Support Bug Report
1

I’m experiencing a campaign-blocking bug in Zereth Mortis on my character, and I’ve fully ruled out UI and quest progression issues.

Here’s the problem:

  • I’ve completed “This Old Waystone”
  • The next campaign quest, “The Forces Gather” (ID 65335), is supposed to be offered by Bolvar in Oribos
  • Bolvar does not offer the quest, and no other NPCs do either
  • I ran /script print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(65335)) → it returns false

Here’s what I’ve tried so far (in consultation with support and external resources):

  • Full UI reset (renamed WTF, Interface, Cache)
  • Removed all addons
  • Cleared any active Dragonflight or War Within campaign quests
  • Tried both War Mode on and off
  • Walked around Oribos, Haven, Exile’s Hollow, Pilgrim’s Grace
  • Posted to the Bug Report forum and opened a GM ticket (who confirmed the issue but said they cannot flag the quest)

I’m stuck in the campaign without access to world quests, weekly quests, or Pocopoc progression. Since I have flying, Revered rep, and all zone systems unlocked, this appears to be a quest flag or phasing issue tied to this character.

Please investigate — I’ve seen multiple reports of this exact issue from other players, and it’s not resolved by UI fixes. A hotfix or quest flag repair would help a lot of us access content properly.

My wife is experiencing this exact issue — “The Forces Gather” quest won’t trigger after completing “This Old Waystone” in the Zereth Mortis campaign. She’s done a UI reset, verified quest completion with a script, cleared other campaign quests, and still Bolvar won’t offer it.

Hoping Blizzard can look into this. If others are stuck too, please comment so they know it’s not isolated.

Update: Still stuck after several days and multiple troubleshooting steps (UI reset, quest checks, campaign cleanup, support ticket, etc.).

Just logging this here to confirm that the issue persists and see if others are running into the same wall. If you’re experiencing this too — even if you fixed it — I’d really appreciate you chiming in.

Thanks to anyone watching this thread, and hoping we get some dev eyes on it soon. :pray:
