World of Warcraft: Forever Darkshore Questline Guide

1. Get the Auberdine flight path, set your hearthstone and collect Washed Ashore, the Buzzbox quests, Plagued Lands, Cave Mushrooms and the available wanted quests.
2. Sweep south along the beach for beached sea-creature remains, crawlers and Buzzbox parts, then return inland through the diseased wildlife area.
3. Use the trap or quest object required by Plagued Lands; killing bears without interacting with the objective does not complete it.
4. Return to Auberdine once for follow-ups, then prepare the Bashal’Aran and Ameth’Aran loop.

Common mistake: Quest givers are split between the docks, road and hill. Missing one can force an extra full-zone loop, so check the whole village before departing.

Key quests or objectives: Washed Ashore, Buzzbox 827, Plagued Lands, Cave Mushrooms and the Auberdine wanted quests.

1. Travel east to Bashal’Aran and complete the multi-part chain involving the satyr, seals and ancient spirits.
2. Continue south to Ameth’Aran for The Fall of Ameth’Aran, the Highborne tools and the related tablet or object interactions.
3. Gather the required drops from spirits and Highborne enemies before leaving either ruin.
4. Return toward Auberdine through the Red Crystal location and complete As Water Cascades and The Fragments Within when offered.

Common mistake: Several ruin objectives are clickable objects or inscriptions. Killing every enemy without checking the structures leaves the chain incomplete.

Key quests or objectives: Bashal’Aran, Tools of the Highborne, The Fall of Ameth’Aran, The Red Crystal, As Water Cascades and The Fragments Within.

1. Follow the coast and road north, completing the Buzzbox sequence and gathering wildlife parts as the quest log requests.
2. Clear Naga around the coast and Cliffspring River, then enter the cave only after taking every nearby mushroom or corruption objective.
3. Complete the northern named targets and inspect any ground objects tied to the Twilight or Naga investigations.
4. Use the road south to turn in at Auberdine and collect the Master’s Glaive and Grove of the Ancients follow-ups.

Common mistake: Cliffspring Cave is far from Auberdine. Entering without Cave Mushrooms and the connected objectives is the most expensive backtrack in northern Darkshore.

Key quests or objectives: Cave Mushrooms, the Buzzbox sequence, northern Naga quests and the Cliffspring investigations.

1. Meet Onu and take the chain leading to the Master’s Glaive.
2. Search the glaive, investigate the Twilight camp and use the provided quest items at the marked locations.
3. Defeat Twilight enemies for the required notes or drops, then follow the escape or escort step if it is available.
4. Return to Onu and carry the completed story into the Grove of the Ancients.

Common mistake: The Master’s Glaive quests often require using an item or inspecting a landmark. Standing at the site or killing cultists alone may not update the objective.

Key quests or objectives: Onu, The Master’s Glaive, The Twilight Camp, Return to Onu and Therylune’s Escape.

1. Collect the Grove of the Ancients quests and combine them with any remaining wildlife or furbolg objectives.
2. Move south along the road, clearing the Moonstalker, thresher and bear objectives while checking camps for named targets.
3. Complete WANTED: Murkdeep! by clearing the murloc waves and named enemy at the southern camp.
4. Finish the southern escorts and return north only after every Grove and coast objective is complete.

Common mistake: Murkdeep appears after earlier waves. Leaving after the first murlocs are defeated resets the event and wastes the trip.

Key quests or objectives: Grove of the Ancients, WANTED: Murkdeep!, Therylune’s Escape and the southern wildlife chains.
