I go to pick up the dal hearht stone, I cannot use it.

So you already have the Dalaran hearthstone? Then follow the advice given already:

@Vrakthris

Use your Dalaran Hearthstone to go up there and talk to Archivist Elysiana inside the Violet Citadel. She should offer the chance to ‘experience the Broken Shore’ i.e. the intro quests. Agree and it should spawn Recruiter Lee in Stormwind, enabling you to either complete the quests or skip the quests again and take ‘In the Blink of an Eye’ successfully.

If they picked it up from the Innkeeper in the Legerdemain Lounge and the stone doesn’t work it means they didn’t do the quest that gave them the hearthstone. You have to do that quest to use the Dalaran Hearthstone.

I go to pick up the dal hearht stone, I cannot use it. I cannot reset the lee quest because nothing happens when i talk to the NPC who has the dialog to go back.

I already stated it does not work.

Of which i cannot access because he phased as soon as I turned in the legion returns. So no dueling, no polishing armor. Etc.

Do you have any other quests in your log?

[Vynlaerian-kirin-tor]

@Vynlaerian-kirin-tor

The only quests in my log is for battle pets, and korrack in av. I turned in the legion start quest, and he phased. Now there is a lone guard on a horse standing there and I cannot do the next step.

Here ya go.

When she found the pally in restore a character, it restored 10 levels back from her progressing. So obviously they had the old data still saved.

I’m poking around Hutu to see what may be going on but I wanted to cover this real quick. As Perl mentioned if a name needs to be freed up because the account has been inactive for 2 expansions, only the name is impacted. The character is not deleted by us. If the character was deleted, it was someone who had access to the account.

I know of no situation in all my years here, outside of a server wide crash and data loss (which would impact everyone active at the time), of characters losing levels. What level did she believe she should have been? Achievements tend to track that kind of information. I can see that she earned the 90 achievement towards the end of November of this year and 100 a couple of days later. Level 80 does appear to have happened back in 2010.

@Hutu-steamwheedle-cartel

I immediately phased back out and turning in the initial quest however, and am unable to do the dueling, getting polished, etc. I have been all over the place trying to solve this issue and the closest thing I could find before this post was the NPC in the hold to reset.

Looking at your character it looks like you completed “To be Prepared”, which is the duel, armor polish, etc… You appear to have the quest “The Battle for Broken Shore” in your log now.

Have you visited the Stormwind Harbor and gone to the ship at the docks?

[Vrakthris]

@Talkuraspion-saurfang

I am having this exact same problem on this character (not boosted). I picked up the Legion Returns quest from the stormwind, which tells me to speak to recruiter Lee at Stormwind Harbor, but I can’t find him.

Try abandoning “The Battle for Lordaeron”, Talkuraspion. The intro quest into Battle for Azeroth phases Stormwind and can prevent you from doing the Legion starting quests.

[Talkuraspion-saurfang]

@Vrakthris: Thank you. This worked. I abandoned Battle for Lordaeron quest and Lee appeared. I turned in the Legion Returns quest and Lee then disappears.

But this did not happen:
" When you turn this quest in, Recruiter Lee (Alliance) or Holgar Stormaxe (Horde) will give you a choice to skip the introductory quest line to the Broken Shore. If you choose to skip, you will be immediately teleported to Dalaran and you will be asked to hand in the last quest called In the Blink of an Eye —hand in this quest to receive your Dalaran hearthstone."

I did not get any choice to skip quests, nor was I teleported to Dalaran or received a hearthstone to Dalaran. Lee just disappeared.

[Vrakthris]

From what I can see, Talkuraspion, you’ve never completed the Legion introduction quest on that account. I believe you will only get the option to skip if you have done the intro questline on another character.

You should be able to pick up the quest “To Be Prepared” after you turn in “the Legion Returns” and continue along the questline. Sorry for the confusion.

[Talkuraspion-saurfang]

@Vrakthris: Yes, you are correct - I did not do Legion intro quest. The last time I played WoW was back in MOP. Recently I bought a WoW battlechest which included the Legion expansion. So I completely skipped WOD and went straight to Legion.

I’ll see if I can find the the NPC that gives the To Be Prepared quest. Thanks a lot for your help.

I had to figure out a way to do this on my own as I seem to have been the only one who has experienced this particular problem. You just happened to see me in the middle of me fixing said problem. Two days I sat with completing the Legion Returns, without a way to access to be prepared.

Luckily the wife came home from working the weekend, and my plan has worked.

I will detail the steps in precise order below to fix this, if someone experiences this again.

Just for clarification, all standard World of Warcraft accounts include all expansions up through Legion. You should only need to purchase Battle for Azeroth currently, to be caught up to our latest expansion. Shadowlands is out next, but we’re a bit off from that.

@Talkuraspion-saurfang

Please let me know if you are successful or not. Good luck!

[Vynlaerian-kirin-tor]

This is too fix a very specific issue in the way that you leveled (not boosted) to 110, have not turned in the Legion Returns quest… then you do Turn in The Legion Returns to immediately phase and Lee disappear before picking up “To be Prepared.”

Any of the previous suggestions will not work for you.

Follow these instructions in order until a different work around can be placed.

1. Find a level 100 who has not turned in “The Legion Retuns.”

2. Stand anywhere NOT in the SW Harbor.

3. Have them invite you to party.

4. Have them turn in “The Legion Returns.”

5. Then level sync to them. Not before.

6. Fly to the SW Harbor, and Lee should be standing there telling you he can help you in his line.

You then continue on as if nothing happened.
You will get your stone.
You will have you class hall quest ready to go pick up.

Enjoy.

That is a fantastic solution. I’m glad you got it resolved.

Yes. I just had to wait on the wife the last few days to try and implement it. BTW She loves your name.

[Talkuraspion-saurfang]

@Vrakthris: So I watched a YouTube video about the To Be Prepared quest. There is an NPC that stands on the harbour that says “your ship is ready…light be with you” and you are supposed to turn in the quest to this NPC.

I remember seeing and hearing this NPC say the exact same thing a few days ago, so I think I actually had the quest and didn’t turn it in and possibly abandoned it. I also remember boarding the ship and it stayed at the harbor for more than 5 minutes, so I just did something else. Maybe I did turn in the quest, but because the ship didn’t move, I ended up not doing it (abandon). I can’t really remember.

Is it possible for a GM to put this quest into my Quest Log? Otherwise I will just let this quest go because it’s just getting too complicated now and I’ve spent a lot of time already.

Thank you.

[Vrakthris]

From what I can see, Talkuraspion, you currently have “The Legion Returns” in your quest log. You don’t appear to have turned it in or ever started “To Be Prepared”.

Are you unable to turn in “The Legion Returns” to Recruiter Lee?

[Vynlaerian-kirin-tor]

@Vrakthris

What level did she believe she should have been? Achievements tend to track that kind of information.

Her paladin was 90. Full timeless gear. We quested on the isle together. I know it was there. Also, it’s not the first time us as many other we know are missing something, and nothing can be done because the achievements say different. This is however not an argument, and actually derailed the actual problem I was trying to solve. She had no complaints of re-leveling. She had to rename her pally, we got her some boas, and she is now in the broken isles with my shaman Hutu. It’s all good. Moving on.
