World of Warcraft: Forever Loch Modan Questline Guide

1. Enter from Dun Morogh through the South Gate and take In Defense of the King’s Lands plus The Trogg Threat.
2. Clear Stonesplinter troggs in the southern valley, working from the road inward so patrols do not surround you.
3. Return for each available continuation of In Defense of the King’s Lands and take Banner of the Fallen when it appears.
4. Continue north to Thelsamar only after the first Valley of Kings batch is complete.

Common mistake: The defense chain has multiple parts from the same hub. Leaving after the first turn-in can hide the next stage and force a long return.

Key quests or objectives: In Defense of the King’s Lands, The Trogg Threat and Banner of the Fallen.

1. Get the flight path, set your hearthstone and take Thelsamar Blood Sausages, Rat Catching, Mountaineer Stormpike’s Task and Snowbound.
2. Kill boars, bears and spiders for the cooking ingredients while moving between quest hubs rather than farming beside town.
3. Deliver Stormpike’s task and collect the referrals to Ironband’s Excavation and the northern camps.
4. Return to Thelsamar for training and the next regional batch.

Common mistake: The Blood Sausages ingredients drop throughout the zone. Keep the quest active during every loop and avoid grinding all ingredients at the start.

Key quests or objectives: Thelsamar Blood Sausages, Rat Catching, Mountaineer Stormpike’s Task, Snowbound and Ironband’s Excavation.

1. Follow the excavation referral south and accept every local dig-site quest before entering the trogg areas.
2. Clear troggs, recover tools or artifacts and inspect the required excavation objects in one clockwise loop.
3. Finish any remaining Valley of Kings defense stages while you are already in the southern half of the zone.
4. Return through the excavation camp, then hearth or ride to Thelsamar for the combined turn-ins.

Common mistake: Excavation objectives often use crates, tools or ground objects. Killing troggs alone does not complete the dig-site quests.

Key quests or objectives: Ironband’s Excavation, the southern artifact quests and the later In Defense of the King’s Lands stages.

1. Take the hunting and lodge quests, then gather wildlife objectives while following the eastern shore road.
2. Travel north to Silver Stream Mine and collect every kobold or stolen-supply objective before entering.
3. Push through the mine once, completing the named enemy and object interactions before exiting.
4. Use the western road back toward Thelsamar, finishing any remaining bear or spider drops on the way.

Common mistake: Silver Stream Mine is far from Thelsamar. Enter only after collecting every mine quest, or the repeated ride consumes more time than the objectives.

Key quests or objectives: Farstrider Lodge hunting quests, Silver Stream Mine and the northern kobold supply chains.

1. Collect the Mo’grosh ogre quests and evaluate whether the named targets are elite for your current level.
2. Group for the strongest ogres, clear from the outer camp inward and avoid pulling casters from several elevations.
3. Visit Stonewrought Dam for the inspection and delivery objectives while you are already in the north.
4. Return south with every northern quest complete rather than alternating between the dam and Thelsamar.

Common mistake: Mo’grosh can be inefficient or dangerous solo at the lower end of the zone. Skip elite stages temporarily instead of repeatedly dying.

Key quests or objectives: Mo’grosh ogre quests, the named elite objectives and Stonewrought Dam inspections.
