How does alliance get to Vol'Dun?

My second alt Alliance character still doesn't have the leading quest which takes her to Vol'Dun and I cannot figure out why. I've been all over WowHead and the internet and cannot find the answer.

Facts - She is...

    Friendly - honored in all BfA reputations.

    Level 120.

    Has had the seed quests from Grand Admiral Jes-Terethto which took her to Zuldazar and Nazmir.

    She manually rode into Vol'Dun and has two of the flight paths.

    Talked to Halford Wyrmbane in Boralus and completed the mission to set up the flight path on Vol'Dun (Vultures Nest).

    Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth still wont offer her passage to Vol'Dun (only Zuldazar and Nazmir).

    My other alt had no problem with going to Vol'Dun.
IIRC you most likely need higher rep with the 7th legion to unlock the next series of quests on the "boat".

For the War Campaign you need:
Step 7: Requires 7,500 into Honored with the 7th Legion
Step 8: Requires Revered with the 7th Legion

Not sure if this is where you're at or not. ;)

Perhaps but it seems silly that she could already unlock Zuldazar and Nazmir. I cant remember what my other alt's reputation was at the time she could unlock Vol'dun.

Note: my other alt is only at 5,561 honored with 7th Legion and she unlocked Vol'Dun long ago.

Reputation shouldn't matter. You are able to unlock all of them before you get to level 120.

My guess is that you didn't finish all of the quest line when you did the quest from Halfus to unlock the FP at Vulture's Nest.

Do you have any quests available at Vulture's Nest? The quests there also take you to the Sanctuary of the Devoted, so check there as well if nothing is available at Vulture's Nest.

I did the full quest line and unlocked it all on my main character, my 1st alt had no problem with Halford Wyrmbane sending me to the 3 horde areas. Also, my 2nd alt (the one who's stuck) has no quests pending with Halford Wyrmbane.

Other than the quest from Halford Wyrmbane to go to Vultures Nest I dont have any other quest for Vol'Dun, and Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth still wont offer her passage to Vol'Dun (only Zuldazar and Nazmir).

To complete the Vultures Nest quest, I had to take Jes' portal to Nazmir and manually run from Nazmir to the location in Vol'Dul. Its seems goofy that she didn't offer to take me to the Alliance base in Vol'Dun - that's why I'm left scratching my head and looking for answers.
The first two footholds don't really require much in the way of reputation, but the third foothold, whatever it is, does have a reputation gate. That would be what's keeping you from accessing Vol'dun if your reputation with the 7th Legion isn't high enough.

Well, her rep with 7th Legion is only friendly, my other alt is honored now (don't know what she was back when). So, I will work on getting this alt to honored and see if that fixes it. I sure wish there was some information that spelled out just what the requirements are.

Thanks, but that still doesn't solve my problem. I did all three footholds on my main character, and my 1st alt did them all just fine but for some reason my 2nd alt cannot get the quest to visit Vol'Dun. On that page you posted I see where you only need friendly rep with 7th Legion, which was a detail I was not sure about.

wowhead says:

    "Part 1 - Blood on the Sand
    The first part of the 120 storyline should unlock immediately after hitting 120, as it requires Friendly with the 7th Legion, and involves the first steps into advancing on the enemy continent.

    After arriving in Shatterstone Harbor, Halford Wyrmbane and Shandris Feathermoon discuss strategy to attack Arlethal Sunwatcher, one of the Reliquary higher-ups, and disrupt the Horde's excavations in Vol'dun, on The Vol'dun Plan. "


My character is level 120, friendly with 7th Legion, and still has not received the quest that takes you to Vol'Dun.
I submitted an in-game ticket and it directed me to this article @ Blizzard Support, which tells me that other people must have had this same problem:

    Common Problems

    * I hit level 120 but I can't select another foothold for my War Campaign.

    * I am at my War Campaign board but it does not offer anything even though I am friendly with all needed reputations.

    * Issue with the Final Foothold

    If you were unable to select a foothold for the War Campaign at level 120 and meet all requirements, return to your War Campaign Table and you should now be able to select a new foothold.

My problem is that the character meets all the criteria but there is no mission for Vol'Dun at the command table, or any of the NPC's on the ship. Hopefully a GM can fix my character.
Would you mind giving us the name and realm of the character that is stuck?
Vulture's Nest isn't part of the War Campaign.

Have you checked the Zuldazar and Nazmir portions of the base establishment quests for any you might have missed? Something innocuous such as flying the bat back to the Nazmir base from the troll camp. Do you have Kelsey and Keeshan as followers?

You're missing something somewhere, or else the game would have given you the third base establishment quest.

As Eppa asked, leave the character name and realm you're having the issues on. There's no guarantee an SFA will be on today to say "go here, you missed this."

If you'd rather not leave us a name to work with, the article I gave you has a link for Wowhead's BFA tracker.
Go back and check the initial footholds. I can’t tell you how many times (I’ve 5 at 120 now) I’ve forgotten to pick up to ending quest in a foot hold (go back to harbor and report or the follower for that foothold) gotten to 120 and been saying why don’t I have this yet.
Have you checked the War Campaign quest entry in your quest log yet? It'd be at the top right, above your other quests, and it should tell you where to go and what you need to pick up.
Mystery solved! Thank you all for your attention and guidance. The GM responded and said:

    it looks like you've recently selected Nazmir as your next foothold and are still in the middle of that quest chain. The details seen in the war campaign section of your quest log should direct you to the next quest you need to do, and you can find a full guide on the war campaign here as well:

    https://www.wowhead.com/alliance-war-campaign

    Once you complete the quest chain in Nazmir, you should be able to move on to Vol'dun no problem.


Yay for the GM's!! I had no idea I didn't finish the quests in Nazmir, or that going to Vol"dun would be dependent on finishing the war campaign on another island. So, I went to Nazmir and did the quests, and then they sent me back to Boralus and was able to choose Vol'Dun as my next (finally) foothold.

So happy its finally done!
The first two footholds don't really require much in the way of reputation, but the third foothold, whatever it is, does have a reputation gate. That would be what's keeping you from accessing Vol'dun if your reputation with the 7th Legion isn't high enough.


For future reference, that is not true. This character was friendly in all BfA reputations and the final foothold unlocked once I completed the opening quests for the other two footholds. In my case, I had not finished the opening quest in Nazmir that culminates in being sent back to Boralus and receiving the follower John J. Keeshan. Once that was done I was able to get the seed quest to Vol'Dun.
Cheers! Glad you got it figured out! ^_^
Once you complete the 100 war resources quest, you will receive a quest to establish a foothold in Vol'dun.
