The pre-patch for World of Warcraft’s latest expansion is finally here, and players can begin preparing for The War Within. This includes starting the pre-requisite quests for The War Within, released in the most recent patch, 10.2.7. This is the final patch for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, and it gives players time to wrap up the Dragonflight campaign before getting stuck in the upcoming expansion. One of the first quest lines players will encounter in the pre-patch is the Harbinger quest line, where players are introduced to the antagonist, Xal’atath.
How To Start the Harbinger Questline
To start the Harbinger quest line, you have to log in to one of your max-level characters and have the Dragonflight expansion. Immediately, you’ll be given the quest “The Harbinger.” While you don’t need to finish the main campaign for Dragonflight, it is advised to tie up all of the loose ends before you go forward with the pre-patch quest line.
Accept the quest and make your way to Dalaran, where you’ll be given instructions on how to progress through the quest line. In total, there are 14 quests for you to complete. This particular quest line is one of the lengthier ones you’ll be given in the pre-patch, giving you a huge amount of lore to sift through. Doing this quest line slowly is recommended, as you’ll be introduced to the antagonist and given a bit of a setup for what you can expect from The War Within.
Below are the quests that are part of the Harbinger quest line in WoW, and the order in which you need to complete them.
- The Harbinger
- Door to the Ren’dorei
- Riftwalker Reports
- Cracks in the Void
- Galakrond’s Unrest
- Walk a Mile in Her Shadows
- Dark Descension
- Legacy of the Void
- The Path Taken
- And Be One Traveler, Long I Stood
- Defend Telogrus Rift
- Null and Void
- Radiant Warnings
- The Harbinger
After you’ve completed this quest line, you can complete a couple of other quests, including the “Visions of Azeroth quest line.” While that quest line is said to be available already, no player has been able to access it at the time of writing. It is likely that the quest line will be released on July 30.
For completing the Harbinger quest line, you are given multiple rewards, but none are outstanding. You’ll be given the following items:
- Flightstones
- Gold
- Bow of the Ranger Captain (Alleria Transmog)
- Winding Slitherdrake: Void Scales
