Unlocking World Quests in Dragonflight: A Comprehensive Guide
Unlocking World Quests in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is a straightforward process, but it requires a commitment to the expansion’s main storyline. Simply put, to unlock World Quests for your entire Battle.net account, you must complete the main story campaign across all four Dragon Isles zones on one character. This pivotal step grants access to World Quests for all your characters, allowing them to benefit from the rewards and activities these quests provide. You will also need the achievement “Just Don’t Ask Me to Spell It” on your main character, which is tied to campaign completion. Let’s dive deeper into how this process works and address some common questions you may have.
The Path to World Quests: Main Storyline Completion
The primary hurdle to unlocking World Quests in Dragonflight is completing the main story campaign across the four major zones of the Dragon Isles. These zones are:
- The Waking Shores: This is the initial zone where players begin their journey in Dragonflight, focusing on the red dragonflight.
- Ohn’ahran Plains: A vast, rolling landscape where players encounter the green dragonflight and the centaur tribes.
- The Azure Span: A zone characterized by snowy peaks and ancient blue dragonflight ruins.
- Thaldraszus: The heart of the Dragon Isles, this zone houses the bronze dragonflight and the central hub city of Valdrakken.
You must complete all the main story quests within each of these zones on one character. This is typically a level 60+ undertaking that will take some time. Once finished, you will receive the “Just Don’t Ask Me to Spell It” achievement and unlock World Quests for your account.
Account-Wide Unlocks and Alts
Once you’ve completed the main campaign and received the achievement on one character, the great news is that all of your alternate characters, or “alts”, will have access to World Quests as soon as they arrive in a Dragonflight zone. They do not need to repeat the campaign. This makes the journey much smoother for subsequent characters.
