World of Warcraft: Forever Zephras Isle Questline Guide

1. Accept Coming of Age from Ailee Farheart and report to Rorian the Dayseeker in the village center.
2. Take Harmony in Balance and Infestation Investigation, then clear Juvenile Vuldren and Pesky Cirrusflies in the grove southeast of the village.
3. Return for The Cirrusfly Queen, The Anchors of Zephras and Falling With Style. Halaan Hawk-Eye and Myriaal Mistwake are at the watchtower.
4. Jump from the watchtower and use Walk on Air to descend safely. Take Elemental Unrest, The Gift of Skysight, Harvesting Windstones and your available class quest.
5. At the standing stones east of the village, kill the Al’Aketh and Roiling Winds, then cast the Skysight racial beside the Elemental Convergence.
6. Kill the Cirrusfly Queen at the southeast end of the grove, turn everything in and train. Continue the Ursera, Al’Aketh and class objectives until The Next Step and The Adventurer send you south.

Common mistake: standing near the Elemental Convergence is not enough. Put Skysight on your action bar and cast it next to the objective. Also reach level 4 before leaving so Rorian’s next quests and your trainer progression appear correctly.

Key quests: Coming of Age, The Anchors of Zephras, Falling With Style, The Gift of Skysight, Return to Rorian, The Next Step.

1. Follow the main road south and turn in The Next Step and The Adventurer. Complete the Windshaper or High Order introduction offered for your faction.
2. For The Great Outdoors, sit beside Raan Wildwind’s campfire until the Boosted Rest effect appears. Then complete Camping 101: Cooking with Zerril Softbreeze.
3. Finish the Shen’dar welcome conversations and collect the Prideclaw, Galestrider, bandit, mage and Pilfered Windstone quests before leaving town.
4. Clear Prideclaws and Galestriders in the meadows south of the village. Keep the Strider Meat; the eggs for the same cooking route come from hippogryphs later.
5. Clear High Order Apprentices northeast of town, then work up through the bandit camps for the stolen windstones and “Badwind” Bennic.
6. Turn in the local batch. Infiltrating the Cult leads to Sania Silverstream and then Falaath Village.

Common mistake: The Great Outdoors requires the sit action, not simply standing at the fire. Type /sit if the objective does not update. Do not rush south with Welcome to Shen’dar Village while local collection quests are still empty.

Useful rewards: the Camping introduction is part of the core route, and The Problem With Prideclaws rewards an early bag upgrade. WANTED: Vulgara the Insatiable is optional and easier with a group.

1. Meet Missionary Jasaan at Falaath Village and start Among the Faithful. Search the wardrobe in the house behind him to advance the investigation.
2. Return to Constable Aonda for Havoc in the Highlands, The Western Watch and Stolen Supplies.
3. Clear the Al’Aketh Stormcallers, Living Lightning, Commander Cyclas and supply caches around Falaath Village.
4. Move southwest to the West Pylon Watchtower. Speak with Peacekeeper Vaaniel at the top and pick up the Bloody Note beside him before leaving.
5. Defeat Skypriest Aanders and loot the required feather and family signet from the nearby fallen guards.
6. Sweep the hippogryph nests northwest of the tower for the Matriarch, down and eggs, then return to Shen’dar Village for every turn-in.
7. Accept To Valanaar and Deliver the Signet. Take the southeast road toward the coastal city.

Common mistake: players often leave the West Pylon after speaking to Vaaniel. The Bloody Note is a separate ground pickup beside him, and the feather and signet come from the bodies near Aanders rather than from the priest himself.

Key quests: Infiltrating the Cult, Among the Faithful, Havoc in the Highlands, The Western Watch, A Last Request, To Valanaar.

1. On the road into Valanaar, pick up Crab Season and Blood Tithe. Collect crawler meat along the southwest shore before entering town.
2. Turn in To Valanaar and Deliver the Signet, then begin The Grand Skyseer, Bugged, A Grand Adventure and The Broken Construct.
3. Meet Riaani Nightwind in the Gustberry Lowlands northwest of town. Collect the construct core pieces while completing Wind Hollow objectives.
4. Follow the coast road west to Windfield Orchard. Collect Stormapples and Flutterfly Dust, clear bandits and Galestriders, and interact with the Malfunctioning Cyclone Construct.
5. Finish The Hills Have Eyes and Standing Our Ground, then deliver the news on your way back toward Valanaar.
6. At level 10, check your class trainer before continuing. Hunters receive the three-part taming route here; Druids, Shamans and Warriors also begin important later class chains from Valanaar.

Common mistake: the final Enchanted Gyrozephyr for The Broken Construct is far north of the orchard, near the road below Windsong Lake. Finish the construct route before assuming the quest is bugged.

Hunter note: return to Quel’ana Quickgale after each tame. The targets are a Windsong Crawler, an Ornery Galestrider and a Vuldren Alpha; the Taming Rod is issued separately for each step.

1. Complete A Firm Response on the northern road, then take In Service of Zephras, Blood for Blood and Tower Defense.
2. Travel northeast to the East Pylon Watchtower. Clear Healers and Brawlers, defeat Commander Belguilos and collect Windstone Charms before turning in at Yorana Windyreed.
3. Return to Valanaar for The High Elder’s Request and The Turncoat. Pick up any available Warrior, Shaman or Druid class chain before heading out again.
4. At the turncoat’s house northwest of Valanaar, search the dead cultist inside, accept Unfortunate News from the body and clear the surrounding assassins.
5. Return to Talaanis Shadowsong. Complete the conversations for The Cult’s True Plans, Desperate Times and Prepare for Battle.
6. Accept Making Our Move and head north toward the Shrine of Akir.

Common mistake: after searching the dead cultist, the chain continues from the same body. Accept Unfortunate News before leaving the house or the Valanaar finale will appear to stop.

Class detours: Shaman players should finish the timed flame carry directly after the Shrine of Flames steps; Druids can earn Bear Form through The Great Ursera Spirit and Strength and Mercy; Warriors can recover the Skybreaker Bulwark at the Shrine of Akir.

1. Fight through the Shrine of Akir and report to Hyusaa Quickbreeze on its eastern side. Complete Making Our Move, then take The Inner Sanctum and Confront Lorthuna.
2. Before using the finale portal, travel north into Shadowgale Forest and meet Elegael Thornpaw.
3. Collect Lady’s Tear Moss around the camp, Shriekling Feathers in the forest and the Bloody Heirloom from the Al’Aketh camp east of Elegael.
4. For The Ties That Bind and The Wounds of Betrayal, defeat Commander Haalien, enter Nightfang Den, heal the injured Druids and find Jorel Windsinger.
5. Loot and read Haalien’s Ripped Missive to start the follow-up before returning to Elegael.
6. Clean up the Windsong Lake refugee objectives and optional Strange Hermit quests while you are in the north.
7. Use the portal to the Rohashi Spires and complete Confront Lorthuna. Back in Valanaar, finish The Fate of Zephras and What Comes Next.

Common mistake: Commander Haalien is both a kill target and the source of the Ripped Missive. Read the item immediately. If The Fate of Zephras will not complete cleanly, check that the Shadowgale and refugee chains have been turned in.

Key quests: Making Our Move, The Inner Sanctum, The Ties That Bind, The Wounds of Betrayal, Ripped Missive, Confront Lorthuna, The Fate of Zephras, What Comes Next.
