Faction Change Erasing Mission Prog

[Boneçherry-illidan]

So, just swap back to Horde and my “Weapons of Conquest” quest has been removed from my quest log. I pick the quest back up, and obviously my progress has been reset. Is this just something I have to live with, or is there a way to “restore” my quest progress lol

Unfortunately faction changes clears and resets quest logs.

Just wanted to mention that the quest is being removed and made into an achievement. The changes are expected to take effect tomorrow.

@Kaivax

With hotfixes, we will make the following changes:

• The quest “Weapons of Conquest” will be deprecated and removed from all players’ quest logs.
• A new achievement called Forged Weapons of Conquest will be added to the Feats of Strength → PvP category, with a criteria to earn 2500 Conquest during The War Within Season 1 on that character.
  • Progress towards this achievement is retroactive, and you can view progress towards it by checking your ‘Season Earned’ amount on your Conquest currency.
• Upon completion of this achievement, you will be awarded 2 Forged Gladiator’s Weapon Tokens via mail, similar to the Mark of the Spelunker Supreme from the seasonal milestone achievement.
• While in possession of these tokens, Lalandi in Dornogal will offer weapons from her entire selection, allowing you to choose your preferred weapon.
  • All 2H weapons will cost 2 tokens, and all 1H/OH pieces will cost 1 token.
  • Warriors are an exception, to equitably accommodate Fury, and will find that their 2H Strength options only cost 1 token.
• Once you have spent both tokens, Lalandi will offer her weapons for Conquest once more.
  • As before, you cannot purchase weapons with Conquest until after earning the Forged Weapons of Conquest achievement on that character.

These updates are planned for the next weekly maintenance (Tuesday, September 24 in this region). At that time, the seasonal Conquest cap will be increased beyond the threshold needed to earn this achievement

Yup. The support article says as much:

Quests, questlines, and missions

• Your quest log is cleared: all your quests are abandoned and all quest items in your inventory are destroyed. If you want to complete a quest you had in progress prior to the faction change, you must visit the quest giver to pick up the quest again and start it over.

The shop page for faction change has a link to that support page.
