The underwater realm of Nazjatar, once the majestic capital of the Naga, continues to beckon players in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. While the methods to reach this zone are largely unchanged from Battle for Azeroth, navigating the requirements can still be a bit confusing, especially for new or returning players. So, how do you access this intriguing zone in Dragonflight?
To get to Nazjatar in Dragonflight, you must first meet a few key prerequisites: reach level 50 on your character and complete the introductory quests for the Battle for Azeroth expansion. Specifically, you need to complete either “A Nation Divided” (Alliance) or “Welcome to Zuldazar” (Horde). Once these are complete, you can initiate the quest “Send the Fleet,” which will send you to Nazjatar. This quest is obtained from either Genn Greymane (Alliance) or Nathanos Blightcaller (Horde).
Pre-requisites for Accessing Nazjatar
Level 50 Requirement
The first crucial step is to ensure your character has reached level 50. Nazjatar was originally designed as a max-level zone in Battle for Azeroth and this level requirement remains in place. Whether you have leveled through Dragonflight or another method, you must reach this benchmark.
Completing Initial Battle for Azeroth Quests
You also need to complete the initial setup quests for the Battle for Azeroth expansion. For Alliance players, this involves completing the quest “A Nation Divided”. For Horde players, you must complete “Welcome to Zuldazar”. These introductory quests familiarize you with the expansion’s setting and set the stage for the subsequent events in Nazjatar.
Initiating the “Send the Fleet” Quest
Once you’ve met the level requirement and completed the relevant introductory quest, you can begin the quest chain that leads to Nazjatar. Alliance players will find Genn Greymane in Boralus, while Horde players will seek out Nathanos Blightcaller in Dazar’alor. Speaking with them will begin the quest “Send the Fleet” or its faction equivalent. This quest will then lead you to your faction’s respective port where you will embark for Nazjatar.
Reaching Nazjatar After a Faction Change
If you’ve recently changed your character’s faction, you will need to redo the introductory quests. You will need to repeat the entire setup questline to unlock access to the Nazjatar questline once again, even if your character has already experienced it on the opposite faction.
Returning to Nazjatar After Leaving
If you have previously visited Nazjatar but left and haven’t unlocked the portal, fear not. You can easily return using the map feature. Simply open your map for either Boralus (Alliance) or Dazar’alor (Horde). You’ll find a large gold arrow icon indicating the location of the portal to return to Nazjatar. This will take you directly back without needing to repeat any introductory quests.
Why You Shouldn’t Skip Nazjatar
While the urge to skip content might be present, especially for veteran players, there are good reasons not to skip the Nazjatar questline. First, the 8.3 questline will not unlock until you’ve opened Nazjatar and completed Magni’s interlude quests. Second, the Nazjatar questline greatly helps in getting your Heart of Azeroth to level 50 if it’s not already there which was an important artifact from the Battle for Azeroth expansion. Furthermore, the questline sets the stage for important story events and provides many rewards along the way.
