NPC for "Surface Bound" is missing

Hey guys,

Getting very frustrated here. I am unable to complete the WQ “Archives: The First Disc” as it says I need to progress further in the campaign to unlock the archives.

The next quest I need to do to progress is called “Surface Bound” in Azj-Kahet. Unfortunately even though on my map I am standing exactly where the exclamation point is as well as where every video I have watched is saying I need to be to accept the quest, the NPC is missing.

Any idea what is going on and why the NPC is not here?

Thanks in advance

Usually an NPC may not be in a location because the area is phased. Either by being on a specific quest line, or not completing another.

The last time this was brought up I found that Uniting Severed Threads,which is part of the Plans within Plans storyline, is required for Surface Bound.

You may also need to completed the quest “The Weaver’s Gift”, if available.

If you’ve done all this on an alt you may be able to speak with Brann to skip some of it.

Thank you for the reply, that was helpful I was able to skip it with Brann. The problem is now I still cannot complete “Archives: The First Disc” as it still says I have to progress further in the campaign when it looks like I have completed it. Brann skipped everything and all my campaign quests are gone now.

So how to I progress this?

For that quest, the comments on wowhead indicate that you need to complete the quest “The Fleet Arrives” and “Embassies and Envoys".

There may also be a reputation requirement.
