Warfronts unlock on character that skipped BFA content

Community General Discussion

Hello all.

Firstly, sorry if this is the wrong form for this kind of questions.

While working on gearing my alts I was suddenly afflicted by a sudden touch of nostalgia for the Warfront sets. Since I have a max level Evoker with mostly Normal Raid gear, I decided to do some.

For context, my Evoker has not done any of the content from past expacs, only Dragonflight.

Unfortunately, the NPC for Warfronts was not in my Evoker’s version of Boralus. I tried to go to Chromie in Stormwind, but the option to do BFA content was no longer available.

So now I must ask: Is there a way to unlock Warfronts without doing BFA content, or do I have to go through them.

Thank you for any info you can give.

To unlock access to the Warfronts feature, you will need to level a character to 50 and complete a short, introductory quest line to each Warfront. You must do the quest lines with one character of each faction to unlock both Horde and Alliance Warfront access account-wide.

Not sure if there have been any changes since but I think you might have to do BFA content, at least the chapters of the war campaign where you unlock the main hubs in each of the zones on the other continent. Seems a lot of BFA’s “max level content” is locked behind those three chapters. And then the actual questlines that lead into the warfronts.

So warfronts even pop solo? Did they ever change it?

As far as I know you still have to queue for the normal version and put together a group for the heroic version.

That may be a problem. I have a hunter that did go through BFA content and the related quests. Warfronts are available for him but not for my evoker nor any of my >lvl 50 alts. My alts cant even see the NPCs.

Thanks for the info all the same. I’ll just have to look deeper into this.

Is your hunter Horde by any chance? The support post I linked did say that you have to do it for both factions at least once for it to be truly account wide. Otherwise it is just account wide to that specific faction.

They really should make it solo-able. No sane person is going to want to sit through several ques of Warfronts to get the transmogs.

I feel like they would have to rework it to make it faster. Even if you get people in the queue (I think it will pop you in a 5 man group) the activity takes foreeever to progress. I imagine it being much slower solo.

I think it’s better to remove it completely and place the items in a vendor that is shared with Island Expeditions or something

I guess, personally I despise removing content but I guess if Blizzard didn’t do it the game would be gigantic data wise.

I think I misread that. While I do have Horde alts, none of them have gone far enough into BFA to reach the Warfront quest line.

Something to experiment ib over tge weekend.

I’ve never done a warfront on this account, and only 1 on my other account during BfA. They pop after you do a few hours of quests.

Start with the dwarf near the inn in Boralus, you can skip a lot, but will need to do a bit of questing to open it. I did this recently and had to go to the heart chamber a couple of times, as well as getting to the point where you open up WQs in Nazjatar.
