My thread was moved from customer support to gameplay>quests, which does not fit – this is not to discuss gameplay but to get customer service help with a glitched quest progress issue or have it reported with a bug

Original: Shadowlands Intro Issues

Hi, I am having the same exact issue detailed on this thread; Unable to access Shadowlands quests, covenants, and raids

A similar post was also posted in the quest forums.

Issue:

  • On this character I want to go to shadow lands to do [Consulting Our Allies]. This character did not quest through shadowlands.
  • In ORG i take portal to oribos in the portal room, oribos is virtually empty – no flight master, no quest pop ups, no quest NPCs
  • I hearth back to Org. I take the shadowlands starting quest from the ebon blade in org. I chose skip the Maw intro (since ive done it on my druid)
  • i am teleported to oribos, there are more NPCs but still no campaign quests, no flight master
    **** I have low level quest tracking on, and warband completed disabled***
  • In the questlog under shadowlands campaign it says “1/2 chapters” with “through the shattered sky completed” and “arrival in shadowlands” grayed out.

Starting shadowlands campaign as a max level character is currently broken, making shadowlands outside of a near empty oribos inaccessible.

I am having this exact same issue. Exactly as you have described it. Selected to skip the Maw, I am teleported to Oribos, but I am not given the next quest. I am stuck without being able to start Shadowlands.

I’m having the same issue. I skipped the Maw quest line trying to get an alt into the Shadowlands and everyone is standing around but not interacting with me. The Fatescribe Roh-Tahl doesn’t help either even though I’m at exactly level 60.

When my Dracthyr Hunter, at level 60, got to this point (skipped the maw) everything froze up, I exited the game, came back and it forced into the intro quest to Shadowlands. During the quest where you go around and talk with 4 individuals, I saw the chat bubble behind the Inn and was able to get Threads of Fate skip all option.

Same issue on my 69 DH. Accepted quest from Mograine opted to skip the Maw and then went to Oribos. Its a ghost town. No NPCs or quests, No covenant stuff, Nothing! Apparently I can no longer report a bug, or Blizzard has made it next to impossible to find links to do so (probable). This is an ongoing thing and it looks like another in a long line of ignored stuff. Any fixes or backup and punt things anyone has found would be appreciated. Thanks

Same issue here. I tried on 2 70+ toons and the guards are standing there to be spoken to for “Stranger in an Even Stranger Land” but the quest is not popping. I tried on fresh level 10s and it works fine. My guess is since they removed the “Threads of Fate” option they forgot to restore this quest for high levels.

I opened a ticket and they said the reported it to the “bug busting team” whatever that means.

Identical prob here. Chose the skip and could only complete a handful of Q’s. Found out that if you group with someone that hasnt done it and sync you can relive the intro, but as soon as I thought it worked I ungrouped and then i got sent to the Necropolis in BFA and had to hearth out. edit the char I was trying to do it on was 74 att. So I assume it has to do with phasing after lvl min. to get into TWW.

same isseu it dont work

Same issue here. The mods just tell me it’s been “fixed”, and if the problem persists I should come here and submit a bug report. So I’m thinking this likely won’t be resolved.

100% same here! Really annoying.

I did find a away to unlock the FP’s at least to get around the rest of the expansion, but takes a bit of rng at the anniversary ceremony. you have to have the portals up for SL during the anniversary event. you can use those and find an FP npc and once talked to unlocks the paths for the rest of the expansion but still cant see all the npcs in oribios. hope the next patch fixes it.
