The call of the sea and the mysteries of Kul Tiras await you in World of Warcraft! This guide will provide a comprehensive walkthrough on how to begin your adventure in this fascinating and lore-rich continent. Let’s dive straight into how you get started:
To begin the Kul Tiras questline, you’ll need to seek out a Hero’s Herald near the Hero’s Call Board in the Trade District of Stormwind. This Herald will offer you the quest Battle for Azeroth: Tides of War. Accepting this quest is your first step on the path to exploring the diverse lands of Kul Tiras.
Pre-requisites for Kul Tiras
Before you can set sail for Kul Tiras, you must ensure you have met a few key requirements. Failing to do so will prevent the Tides of War quest from appearing or progressing. Here’s what you need:
Completion of Battle for Lordaeron
You must complete the Battle for Lordaeron scenario. This scenario can be initiated by accepting the quest Battle for Azeroth: Hour of Reckoning. This quest is a key part of the introductory experience for the Battle for Azeroth expansion, setting the stage for the conflicts that await in Kul Tiras.
The Heart of Azeroth
Acquiring the Heart of Azeroth is crucial. This is obtained through the questline that begins with A Dying World, a launch-day quest for the Battle for Azeroth expansion. This item is not only essential for progressing through Kul Tiras but also plays a significant role in character progression throughout the expansion. Make sure you have completed these prerequisites before seeking out the Tides of War quest.
Starting the Questline
Once you’ve fulfilled the pre-requisites, return to Stormwind’s Trade District and find the Hero’s Herald next to the Hero’s Call Board. Accept the Battle for Azeroth: Tides of War quest.
This will set you on a path to the docks, where you’ll begin your journey to Kul Tiras. You’ll be taken through several introductory quests that will familiarize you with the story and key characters of the expansion, including Lady Jaina Proudmoore. You’ll eventually be transported to Boralus, the capital city of Kul Tiras, where your adventure truly begins.
First Steps in Kul Tiras
Upon arrival in Boralus, you’ll be introduced to the complexities of Kul Tirasian politics and the threats facing the region. Key quests will guide you to discover the different regions of Kul Tiras such as Tiragarde Sound, Drustvar, and Stormsong Valley. Each has its unique story and challenges.
Exploring Stormsong Valley
To start the Stormsong Valley storyline, you must first complete the “Come Sail Away” story. Afterwards, look for the Scouting Map in Boralus, which will offer the first quest in the Tidesages of Stormsong quest chain. This chain is required for the Stormsong and Dance achievement.
The Calm Before
Another significant storyline to start in Kul Tiras is “The Calm Before”. The first quest of this storyline can be obtained from Master Mathias Shaw located on a ship in Boralus at coordinates 71, 27. He will instruct you to see Lady Jaina Proudmoore at 67, 36 to give her a report. A conversation with her will trigger the attack on the city and the start of the chain.
Progressing Through the War Campaign
The Battle for Azeroth content includes a War Campaign storyline that is essential for unlocking later content. Remember that each character must complete their own war campaign quest line separately. To identify your next War Campaign steps, always check the top of your quest log.
