Hi, I never did Call of Water, am now a level 40 shaman and cannot get the quest. The quest is not available at the people it is supposed to be at.
Is this a bug or do I literally need to reroll my character and start over because I thought it would be ok to put off the call of water quest? I am not given the option to talk to the quest giver (I looked up the specific NPCs on wowhead) in Thunderbluff or Durotar.
I originally had the quest around level 25 and abandoned it.
I attempted to reach out to blizzard in a ticket and they responded with a copy and paste response saying they cant do anything and I submitted it as a bug.
What should I do?
Make sure you’re dialing the area code correctly?
On a more serious note, since you won’t see ! if its low level, do you remember which step you abandoned it on? Try following the questline path from wowhead/etc and visit each NPC, maybe they have where you left off?

If you had it and abandoned it, did you ever start it?
If you did, then you might be able to pick it up where you left off. Class trainers in TB or Org will start you but then you have to talk to an NPC in the Barrens who gives you the specific water skin quests. If I recall correctly she is on a hill near the pirates in Ratchett. Islen Waterseer, I think, is her name.
She will send you to Brine, who lives on a hill in the Southern Barrens near some quillboar same side as RFK
If I recall right any shaman trainer gives you the start, sends you to someone in the Barrens south of Ratchet, and they have you do the quests. Should check the trainers and the Barrens quest giver. It will also appear as low level, so be sure to talk even if there isn’t an indication of an offered quest.

If anything you can probably open a ticket and they give you the quest or tell you where you left off.
can i ask why you abandoned the quest and didn’t complete it? what possibly could’ve been more important than the most core thing your class does?

Probably a noob didn’t know better, no big. He can pick it up again in Ratchet

when i made my first shaman it was in cata and he just magically got his first totem at lefvel 4. it’s cool to be doing these totem quests. i do them as soon as i get them tbh. 
Many shaman do. But for folks unused to Vanilla classes, it may be a bit overwhelming LOL.
Many WoW players are quite unused to having these yummy class quests and don’t realize their significance.

i did a quest on my pally to get my rez too. which was cool. honestly it felt better than just getting it on my priest and shaman.
The water totems are far from important while leveling. Let alone really worth doing before getting a mount. Same for getting the succubus as horde.
For the record that water totem quest sucks and doesn’t help you much until you can get mana tide honestly, I waited until 40 to do it as well with my mount since it’s a lot of running. You just need to figure out where the step is that you abandoned it
If you don’t know exactly what part you abandoned it at you’re going to have to find a Totem Quest guide and visit every one involved from the first NPC until you find the one you’re supposed to visit next. As mentioned before, you get no ! with that kind of difference.
If you do know where you abandoned it, go to the NPCs involved in that part.
And Shammies who said they skipped the quest till 40 so they could get their mount make me a sad panda. Seriously, Ghost Wolf is not enough for you?
I disagree. The water totem quest is a PITA but I always get it done. Any build can benefit from healing stream, for instance.
And I always get my suc at 20 and ditch the blueberry. Much more efficient killing.
I mean if you want to graveyard run your way down to Wetlands as a horde player through 3 contested zones then by all means go for it, but the time saved is probably far from worth it when you can wait until 40-ish when you trek to the badlands anyway.
Or get a high level friend to escort you 
Sincerely, doing “dangerous” runs like those are part of what made vanilla fun. You were in danger or potential danger. Nothing in retail scares me except how bad it is.
