Windwalker Artifact Quest Bug

In reference to the Just Between Us version. Here’s a complete recount of what happened. I accepted The Legends of the Sand quest and found Li Li. Spoke to her and was given the Off to Adventure quest. Once I jumped on her kite I was teleported to Uldum and when I arrived I was perpetually falling out of the sky stuck in free fall with the error I mentioned above “You Aren’t allowed to go there”. I performed a character unstuck (feel free to check my logs) and was dropped to the floor. It seemed like the perfect fix. So I turned in my Off to Adventure quest at Li Li and much to my surprise, The next quest Thunder on the Sands did not appear. To be specific the only NPCs around me were Li Li and the tiger. King Phaoris did not spawn. So I decided to hearthstone back to dalaran and see if I could reteleport there to prompt the NPC spawn, but now I had NO way of getting back to Uldum. I went to my order hall. Nothing. Went to dalaran, nothing. I even went to Stormwind to try the Uldum portal but couldn’t interact with it. So I used the Hyjel portal in Stormwind and flew south to Uldum. However once I passed the (what) sword, and zoned into Uldum my character was now stuck at the zone border in a perpetual invisible box. Free flying and rubber banding backwards. That’s when I submitted this ticket. What am I supposed to do? If you don’t know. Please escalate. Thanks! Appreciate the support.

I have this exact same issue, except I am horde and haven’t found a way to travel back to Uldum. I need to get the “Thunder on the Sands” quest and a way to travel to Uldum (the correct phase of Uldum as I believe the bug where we where constantly falling was due to being in BFA Uldum).

One thing to mention, to all the people I saw in the bugged Uldum phase, all were doing the Windwalker weapon quest chain as their second or third weapon.

Confirmed. Decided to get my 2nd artifact weapon. I was on Heroic World tier and did see 1 person able to walk around freely, they were alliance.

I tried to go to Org and then just fly here, but got the warning about leaving timerunning and didn’t push my luck.

I’ve now also confirmed this isn’t a problem if you haven’t gotten to the level that changes Uldum’s time state.

I also tested the boundaries that are setup to allow this quest to be completed.

The fix should really be to lock in Time-Runners to the Cataclysm timeline for Uldum similar to how we could talk to Zidormi to change the timeline we are in. I’m not sure what level this changes at, but given Remix and the Time-Runner boundaries, this should be fixed so those of us past that level can get our Windwalker Artifact weapon.

Another monk came in and could use Slicing Winds to move around, but Zidormi was not there*. So clearly, the “lock” you have on keeping us here needs to be adjusted at higher levels.

Edit: That monk, turned in the quest but got no follow up. So whatever fix is implemented needs to include ensuring we can get whatever stage in the quest we need.

Still an issue for me too, hope they fix it soon!
