How to get to Vash'jir?

I’ve a max level toon that’s never been and I wanted to get there with a friend. All the references I found online mention the hero board to pick up the starting quest, but when I look at the Hero board, it just shows me Draenor dungeons.

So how does one get there? I mean, I can fly to the above-water flight point, but there’s that whole thing that gets you the underwater travel. How is this done now?

Edit: Solved, thank you all. The quest giver (not the Hero board) is by the docks. Pick up the quest there, take the ship to Vash’jir waters and you’ll be under the water in no time. Haven’t tested it yet, but assuming that the portal will then work for that toon.

It’s a Cataclysm thing. Might need to Chromie time it.

The Hero Boards that are scattered across the land will have three quests showing at a time. Unfortunately, you have to accept quests you don’t want until the one you want shows up. (Honestly, an arrow button would have been way better.)

there use to be a ncp at SW docks that sent you there, not sure if still there.

Not sure if it was ever fixed, but if you “skipped” the Legion intro, the harbor will still be phased out for older quests and NPCs. You’d have to pick up the quest from the archivist in the Violet Tower in Broken Isles Dalaran.

Can you take the portal from SW? I thought it took you there and plopped you by the quest giver to get water breathing.

When I had a couple of level 50’s who needed to go to Vashj’ir for a mining project, I had to get them summoned to the dungeon.

The portal in Orgrimmar should be open. And the quest should be available on the boat that questing starts at.

Use Chromie to go to Cata timeline maybe.

That’s new then, cuz it used to plop you way out in the middle.

A level 50+ cannot use Chromie.

The portal goes to a cave in the second zone that you have supposedly opened through completing a number of questlines.

Cant do that on a max level toon. Its weird, its easier to get a lvl 10 to vashir than a max level.

Pretty sure you have to be level 30 to get the quest to go there. Level 10’s get classic content.

Yeah, all the tinkering they did with leveling got questing all funkified. Trial and error of a few suggestions here may be your best bet.

Not if you chromie time. You can level thru any expac. I have a trial account toon that has used chromie time to unlock all expacs except SL.

When you choose “Cataclysm” it includes both Cata zones and all Classic zones that were reworked for the Cata expansion. Low levels can’t level in those Cata zones because they are designed for flight.

Even with chromie time, the cata zones don’t start til 30, because most zones require flying.

I’m hopping on a level 55 hunter who’s never been to check. First and foremost, Blizz really needs to address the lag issue (jeez).

And the answer is: That is the only Cat portal closed and there is no quest there to open it lol… which means I was wrong (BAD GNOME!).

And yet they are unlockable. I did level a bit in vashir, reminded me why i didnt like it.

Weird… well, they do tend to be consistently inconsistent…
