Thank you for the help. That worked!
Since this quest hasn’t been fixed in 4 years I just wanted to bump this because it not only should be fixed, but it’s extremely annoying trying to figure this out since there’s ZERO direction from in-game and I had to sift through multiple forum posts and wowhead comments to try to figure out the solution. This was NOT designed with fresh characters in mind (I mostly play horde and was trying to unlock dark iron).
You don’t have to do a lot of quests as some posts in this thread suggested, the easiest solution is simply doing the quest to deliver a report from Cyrus and then just fly back after you deliver the report and Flynn in then correctly phased into the room.
This should still be considered a bug and he should be phased into the room when you have this quest regardless of having done anything else.
edit: also if you come across this when trying to unlock dark iron, it may be easier to just do it on a sub 70 if you have one that can still do chromie time and just queue for the dungeon in chromie time
So now we are in TWW patch and still nobody had a solution or got help…wow…
So I was reading through here and I remembered (I’m normally a horde player), that my first alliance I started was my druid, she is now level 70.
Even though I haven’t finished the Questline in Kul Tiras at all with her, as I barley started there, but after seeing the comments I had to try and switched to my druid,as she was my first one I was doing Quests over there.
And I think this really might be the solution here.
I wasn’t even able to talk to Cylus with my Void elf anymore, nothing in that building seemed to work, it would show Quest mark on mini map but nobody inside there was giving me anything and I couldn’t see Finn either.
But after switching to my Druid, I at least was able to get things going , things are finally moving forward.
I seem to be able to finish the quest chain to unlock the Race… Fingers crossed lol.
So I guess I just keep going with my druid for now and when I’m done, then I will switch back to my void elf and see what happens.
I hope this helps.
What I could also see is that maybe this whole Zuldazar questline and all these other quests overlap so badly that it makes it glitch.
So worst case if switching to main won’t work, get a different/new character and try to get that done without taking all these other Questlines on the ship for Zuldazar and God knows what.
Go to chromie and chose BFA timeline and just try it out.
It might be worth a shot.
Oh and P. S:
If someone from Blizzard reads this… As a horde player I started to shake my head cause of how many different Questlines same time popped up WHILE I was already trying to go to Kul Tiras and just get the regular ones done to unlock the race… I mean… Daaaaarnn, this stuff is crazy guys, Magni showed up, Jaina wanted something,her Mom as well,Wolf dude constantly wanted me to show up,then again had to look for Elsa before she gets killed by pirates, Gnoms wanted my help for the other Race to unlock, going to Zuldazar and attacking the Throlls, Nazjatar crazy Fish peeps and ships played titanic, then Magni showed up again and wanted me in SIL… I was like “omg chill people” xD
I’m not surprised there is a glitch happening there.
Sorry for my bad writing, as English is not my first language.
As of Dec 7, 2024, the problem still exists. Flynn is not inside the office (the version that is outside that offers dungeons does not take the quest). Not sure what to do. I have another quest called “The Master Shipwright” so I am going to try it and see if the breadcrumbs will eventually fix the issue. Shame on you Blizzard for not caring about the new players.
