So I wanted to just level through convenant stuff so I started shadowlands at level 20 I believe. Quickly realized after a few quest that wasn’t how it worked so I left. I returned back at 68 just wanted to pick a covenant so I could get transmog from the covenant I had already mostly unlocked on another character. Now Shadowlands is just wanting me to straight up quest through the story line which is greyed out quest for me. People told me to check a vendor next to the flight master but that doesnt get me to choosing a covenant. I got the threads of fate quest and went to do that but I didnt get any sort of option and when I speak to that NPC he just gives me dialog about my purpose. Am I just screwed on this character and have to do the whole story line for SL now just to get to pick a covenant??
Threads of Fate (which allowed you to just skip to adventure mode) is no longer active. The only characters that can do Threads of Fate are ones who had already selected the option when it was still available. Any new characters, or even old characters who didnt select that option, cannot do it.
F tier decision on Blizzard’s part.
new characters can do adventure mode but you have to be 60 and not have done anything with shadowlands to activate it. as far as i know
Ie. never have entered SL Chromie Time and have done anything?
I believe that’s how it works. i think adventure mode is still level locked to 60, since you dont get to choose as a low level you’re forced to quest like normal. if you have to quest like normal then you have to complete the zones before covenant stuff unlocks
Seems fairly unintuitive. Makes you want to avoid SL explicitly until it becomes farmable content. Unfortunately for OP I don’t think that’ll get them what they need unless they just do it on a new toon. They need to bring it back in full. Allow the option from any level and let people leave story mode like they used to.
In fact, Threads of Fate should be default. Considering they kept BfA as the 1-60 base experience.
I was wondering the same thing. I did all of the campaign stuff and when i got back to Oribos to turn in the final quest to Tal-Inara that was all there was. So now i guess i have to go back and level to 60 before i can pick a covenant? Why even bother with that when you get kicked from Chromie time at 58 or 59? I thought that if i did all the campaign stuff in there that i could finish up and choose a covenant to rep. I did it on a Orc Warlock. Even hit level 51 doing the orc heritage stuff and went back to Oribos and still no covenant choice quest.
My Drac did not do the Chromie time as it glitched on my first Drac I tried it on, so I just did it the normal way. Boon of the Covenants you get. It does something but I forgot what and it ahs a 2 minute cooldown. Renown 80 necro on my Drac. Necro is best for Drac. still scales up in Dragonflight. Your Fleshcraft does. My Drac has not leveled past 60. I think it has to be at least 60 to get up to what I got. I am just blindly guessing here, so may be 100% right or be 100% wrong.
Try going for it at level 60 and I also did not do TW on the toon. Also did not do the thing that where you can skip all the intro quests.
I didnt do it on my Dracthyr. I was doing it on this toon. I was hoping i would be able to pick Covenant before getting kicked to DF. But looks like im going to have to hit 60 before i can choose.
Have you tried eenie meenie miney moe?
Oh the agony, my PTSD is kicking in.
When I first picked my covenant, I picked the one asmon chose. (turned out to be the right one for awhile)
So sorry to hear that.
Alexa, play “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict” by Pink Floyd.
Yea I have found it always works best at 60.
My drakthyr had zero issues. Maybe do that race rather than a low level.
i hit 60 on my Warlock and got the quest to choose covenant but now when i go talk to each of the covenant leaders it doesnt take them off the list as being talked to. I have even abandoned the quest several times and even exited the game and came back in and still no go. all i want to do is choose a covenant. anyone else have this issue??
Get to level 60 (Or 70, I forget) WITHOUT starting the intro of Shadowlands.
You’ll then get a quest to just pick a Covenant.
If you start Shadowlands at all then this quest won’t show up.
it did show up once i hit 60 but i cant progress on it because when i click on the covenant leaders to talk to them it doesnt take them off the list as being talked to
That’s odd. It should work after you’re told to pick a Covenant. Is it only doing this on your Evoker? Maybe that could be why.
its not on my evoker. its on my level 60 Orc Warlock.
