Ny’alotha, The Waking City LFR “The Waking City” wing is blocked not locked. From not having the cloak on hand.
I was running BFA raids on a toon that did not complete the cloak chain quest that came with the last patch of BFA. I ran normal, heroic, and mythic cleared all bosses and last boss. However when i went to clear the LFR difficulty the final wing “The Waking City” is blocked because i dont have the cloak on my toon.
I went to check if this is a bug and went on my main who has the cloak. I tested by equiping and putting it in my inventory and the wing appeared when i talked to the LFR npc. but when i placed the cloak back in the bank the wing was not available.
To summarize, you will never be able to run “The Waking city” LFR wing unless u have the cloak in your inventory or equipped BUT you can run norm, heroic, and mythic without. Blizzard please remove this “requirement” since there is no longer a reason to have it.
