Shadowlands Leveling Campaign at level 80 being forced

Trying to do some transmog farming in Shadowlands raids. Using some characters between 70-80 that have never touched Shadowlands including some MoP Remix Timerunners. Whenever I go to Shadowlands it automatically puts me on the leveling campaign and I do not have the option to use the skips to access the Maw or Zereth Mortis. Any solutions out there?

I have no idea. Wish I could help, but hopefully someone knows how because I want to know too.

:cat: :cat2: :cat:

IIRC they removed threads as an option so its locked in now.

True, but Shadowlands leveling is capped at 60. My level 70s and especially 80s should not be forced into the campaign

No, the fatesmith is on the outer right on the right side. You just need to go talk to him after skipping to oribos. He won’t be available unless you’ve completed the shadowlands campaign on your account.

How fragmented the SL zones are wasn’t great when it was current.

It’s even worse now that it’s not.

You can’t even portal to Oribos and then fly to the zone you want, unlike most of the zones of the other expansions, where you portal to the main hub and then are free to fly wherever.

I tried accessing Shadowlands on a new character and I was allowed to skip the intro quest from the DK quest giver in SW/Org, and then given the campaign skip when I port to Oribos.

I honestly don’t think I’ve been back there in 4 years. Maybe one day when I’m done collecting achievements anywhere else

Funny thing is, on new characters I have the option to skip the Maw intro, but when I get to Oribos I’m forced into the campaign.

This shouldn’t be the case honestly. Although I did try that on a lvl 80. Let me check on a lvl 70

Yeah I got this screen on my lvl 70:

That’s very odd, I just tried another character I haven’t played since BfA. Same deal, skip Maw, forced campaign.

For both of my cases, it was a remix alt. So the only two things I can think of is 1). bug, 2). there’s some weird condition on character creation time or something

It’s bugged.

There is a work around until they fix it. Party and sync with someone on the fate quest. It will let you do it.

If you get no joy by Monday I can help. Am working til then :smiling_face_with_tear:

I saw a comment suggesting that. I got a friend to party sync with me, but the npc with the quest for Threads of Fate didn’t spawn for me.

Have you completed any of the SL campaign at all?

They need to be on the quest itself and in the same phase as you. It could be they didn’t land at Oribos.

I have done it for multiple people. I will do it for you next week.

They were standing there with me where the skip takes you. We even tried party syncing before going to Oribos. Which it forced Darion Mograine to spawn and the Maw skip was available, but yeah, npc didn’t spawn.

Yep that’s fine. They need to be on the exact step when the NPC in Oribos gives the option.

Essentially they should be frozen in time in Oribos. If they aren’t then they’re at the wrong step.

Fundamentally this is a bug though and it craps me that it’s been this way for atleast a year and 1/2.

Yeah, at this point any character 60+ should have everything in Shadowlands unlocked. None of this skip crap
