What are the world quests in World of Warcraft: Legion? We will tell you everything important!

Slowly but surely, the first players of World of Warcraft: Legion are arriving at the maximum level of 110. However, the adventure on the Broken Isles is far from over – on the contrary! Thanks to the new world quest system, there is (almost) always something to do in the game world. We will reveal the intricacies of the system and explain how you can complete the most important missions.

World Quests: Something for Every Type of Player

World quests are World of Warcraft’s renewed attempt to constantly produce new and recurring content. Unlike daily quests, world quests are not to be seen as a burden that must be completed every day. Also new is the fact that the quests do not rotate daily but rather fresh missions await every few hours. The objectives are also varied: Instead of always having to kill enemies, there are also mini-games and crafting missions that require a bit more skill or brainpower.

This is rounded off by world bosses and particularly difficult variations of the “rare mobs” that have become significantly more challenging due to new effects. Even pet battlers, PvPers, and fishermen get their own quests – no type of player is left out.

The great thing about the system: you only need to open your map and see all available missions at a glance – provided that you have already achieved a friendly reputation with the following factions:

• The Highmountain Tribe
• The Nightborne
• The Dreamweavers
• Farondis’ Court
• Valarjar

Once that is achieved (which should be accomplished through the usual quest lines), you can complete the quest “A world full of Quests” in Dalaran and then tackle world quests.

Each world quest is rewarded with a reward that can be viewed in advance. Some only give gold or order resources, while others reward with Blood of Sargeras (needed for crafting) or even rare mounts and pets. In any case, you should take on the missions that grant artifact power – a more effective method of collecting these points will be hard to find.

Emissary Missions – The Big Loot

The top priority for completing world quests should be the emissary missions. You receive one of these each day, up to a maximum of 3. You can see the active emissary quests on the world map at any time on the left. These quests require that 4 special world quests belonging to a specific faction are completed.

Where do I find the emissaries?

The emissaries of each faction start in their respective areas. The “Emissary of the Highmountain Tribes” is – as expected – in Thunder Totem. It is only necessary to visit the emissaries once you have completed the quest. It is accepted automatically. As a reward, you will receive a substantial amount of reputation points (usually 1,500) with the respective faction and a reward box. The box may contain gold (about 700), order resources, Blood of Sargeras, and other useful bonuses.

By the way: Once you have reached “Friendly” reputation with all factions of Legion, the emissaries will also visit your character in the Order Hall, allowing you to collect the rewards at a central location.

Finally, here are some general tips:

• Some missions count for multiple emissaries at the same time. So a “Wanted” mission in Suramar could count for both the Nightborne and the Watchers!
• Some missions are only temporarily available. So don’t forget to check how long a quest is still available when planning.
• The color of a quest on the world map indicates how difficult the task is. Yellow means that you can easily accomplish it alone. Blue requires 3-5 players and purple often means a complete group of 10 or more people (mostly world bosses).
• On the world map, you can set specific filters if you wish to hide crafting quests or pet battle missions.
• World quests are the same for all players on the server (except for crafting missions and the like). So you can easily team up with friends and complete quests together!

World of Warcraft: Legion finally gives us a new hero class, the Demon Hunter. We have thoroughly tested the new (anti) hero and present you a comprehensive guide.

Legion, the latest expansion for World of Warcraft, is coming soon, and then all players can finally try out a Demon Hunter. This new hero class is indeed a success and has even made the author of this article fall in love with WoW. But let’s start with the basics:

The Demon Hunter at a glance

So, where are you from?

Hero classes receive special treatment in World of Warcraft because while normal heroes stumble around at level 1 with tattered rags and rusty weapons, a Demon Hunter starts at level 98. After all, these demon slayers are also the elite of the “Illidari”, the personal army of Illidan himself.

The big boss of all Demon Hunters sent his followers into the dark demon world of “Mardum” just when the final raid group storms his fortress in the second WoW expansion “The Burning Crusade”. Together with the other Illidari, our hero is supposed to take down the demoness Tyranna and open a path to Illidan’s fortress with her Keystone. However, this goes wrong, and instead, our hero and his comrades get imprisoned by the Wardens.

Only many years later will we be freed again – precisely by Illidan’s arch-enemy Maiev. Because the Burning Legion is back and ravaging Azeroth. And fire can only be fought with fire…

Perfect Entry

The whole action in Mardum and the ensuing slaughter against invading demons in the Warden’s Vault is not just a decorative element. While we face entire hordes of demons, we gradually learn all the relevant skills and traits of our class. This works so well that even WoW newcomers immediately know how to play the Demon Hunter.

And those who have so far considered WoW to be an old-fashioned MMO without dynamism can also be pleased. The Demon Hunter is an incredibly agile class that plays almost like a hero from modern action MMOs like WildStar, Tera, or Blade & Soul. This is because the Demon Hunter has many skills that hit everything in front of him in addition to his standard attack. Other skills let us dash into the fray incredibly quickly or make a quick getaway. This allows us to dance around the enemy at will and deal significant damage with hit-and-run tactics.

WoW on Speed!

The combat gameplay alone makes the Demon Hunter incredibly mobile and incredibly fun to play. But that’s not all. Anyone familiar with the Heart of Thorns expansion for Guild Wars 2 should be excited about the demon wings that allow the Demon Hunter to glide through the air. And WildStar fans can rejoice because Demon Hunters master double jumps!

Oh yes, the most important point at last: Demon Hunters can also manage without healers because dead enemies often leave behind soul fragments that heal the dark fighter for 25 percent of his health. In boss fights with many adds, the demon killer can handle quite well on his own and relieve the healer.

Our (Nightmare) Spaceship!

Like all heroes in Legion, Demon Hunters also get their own Class Hall. But instead of shabby hunting lodges and musty halls, the Illidari get their own spaceship! And not just any spaceship, but the “Demon Hammer”, the former flagship of Demon Queen Tyranna, which still hovers like a Damocles sword over the devastated world of Mardum.

Inside, you will also find the Demon Forge, where we can further develop our artifact weapons and recruit our allies, including Kayn Sunfury or Alturis the Suffering. By the way, the ship looks amazing and impresses with a dark ambiance, demonic green lighting effects, and even prison cells where especially strong demons are imprisoned for later use.

Damage, Damage, Damage! – The Havoc Demon Hunter

Those who choose the damage specialization called “Havoc” get an incredibly agile character who can shred enemy groups in no time. The artifact weapons of the Demon Hunters are the Twinblades of the Betrayer, which are no deception despite their unfortunately translated name. You can find the properties of the blades under the specified link in a separate article, and everything about the other artifact weapons can be found here.

Skills – What the Havoc Demon Hunter Can Do

The following list contains all the active abilities of the Havoc Demon Hunter. But beware: The information refers entirely to the Beta of Legion and may change until release. Demon Hunters mostly deal Chaos damage with their attacks and require Fury for their strongest skills, which they refresh in battle or through certain abilities. Also, almost all skills are immediately usable, which benefits the fast playstyle of the Demon Hunter.

• Throw Glaive: With this skill, the Demon Hunter can make a ranged attack and hit up to two additional enemies in the area. Ideal for immediately countering after a retreat.
• Wrath of the Illidari: Here, we also throw the glaives at the enemy, but this time they stick, and we can immediately teleport to the weapons. Optimal for initiating fights, especially against ranged fighters and in PvP.
• Demon’s Bite: An extremely important standard attack with no cooldown. It doesn’t deal much damage, but you gain valuable Fury from it, namely 20 – 30 points. And Fury can never be enough for a Demon Hunter.
• Chaos Strike: Especially at the beginning, Chaos Strike is very useful, as you immediately convert your Fury (40 points) into a strong attack. And if it critically hits, you get back 20 Fury points! So increase your crit rate! Later, Chaos Strike serves as a useful filler to achieve a good energy economy and you don’t waste any Fury.
• Chaos Nova: With this skill, you unleash a wave of fel energy and stun your enemies in the area, which also deals considerable damage. However, the cooldown is rather high, so be careful about how you use this ability.
• Eye Beam: A channeling attack that deals tremendous damage to all enemies in front of the Demon Hunter.
• Blade Dance: An area attack that hits all enemies in the vicinity and temporarily increases our dodge value.
• Fel Rush: A charge attack where we dash forward and deal damage to all enemies in our path.
• Vengeful Retreat: Deals damage to the enemy, slows them down, and makes the Demon Hunter briefly jump back. Optimal for hit & run attacks.
• Consume Magic: This interrupts enemy spells and prevents the enemy from casting again from the interrupted school for 3 seconds. Additionally, we gain maximum Fury.
• Dissolve: Increases the dodge value by 50% and resets every time you deal damage, up to a maximum of 10 seconds.
• Spectral Sight: Hidden enemies and opponents behind barriers are now visible.
• Metamorphosis: You jump to a target location, deal damage and stun there, and transform into a large demon that deals even more damage for 30 seconds.

The passive abilities and talents of the Demon Hunter

The following list shows all passive abilities that you can choose as a Demon Hunter. These details may also change until release.

So much for the Demon Hunter as a damage dealer. We will soon dedicate a separate guide to the tank specialization of the hero. More info about World of Warcraft: Legion can be found on our overview page for the game.

In World of Warcraft: Legion, there are some toys that players can use to simulate flying. We’ll tell you where to find the items.

Update: Blizzard has significantly nerfed the toys. The glider now has a cooldown of 15 minutes and the Brewmaster’s effect has been reduced. However, the glider is still worth it for emergencies.

The Dream of Flight in the Broken Isles

With each new expansion of World of Warcraft, players are first brought back to reality. Flying mounts remain stored or at least chained, as flying is not allowed for now. “Real” flying won’t be possible for a while, as it will only be enabled with a later patch and (as in Warlords of Draenor) will be tied to an achievement.

This doesn’t mean that you have to completely forgo the rushing wind around your ears on the Broken Isles! Two small toys help you at least somewhat fly, allowing you to quickly cover large distances within the game world. We’ll tell you how to obtain the Emerald Winds and Skyhorn Drakes made from Roc feathers.

For both toys, you need to head to Highmountain. No prerequisite quest is necessary, so you can immediately look out for both toys.

The Emerald Winds

Far to the west of Highmountain (near the place Riverbend), you will find a waterfall that leads down into the area of Val’Sharah. On a fairly large platform, you can spot the demigoddess Aviana, who wants to teach some druids how to fly. You too can participate in the lesson if you accept the quest. The goal of the quest is to touch a total of 6 out of 10 green orbs while “Gliding.” This is where the toy is buried: To obtain “Emerald Winds,” you must instead collect all 10 orbs! If you succeed, you will receive the achievement “Clutch of the Talon” and the item will become yours.

What do the Emerald Winds do?

The toy allows you to perform small “jumps” forward every 3 seconds, enabling you to move through the air. While you’ll inevitably lose altitude, it’s excellent for covering long distances. Many treasures in different areas can thus be easily obtained. Since direction can be readjusted with each jump, this type of movement is even relatively targeted.

But beware: The character still takes fall damage when landing! So make sure to make a last jump just before landing or activate other forms of protection (Ice Block, Slow Fall, Divine Shield, Levitate).

Skyhorn Drakes Made from Roc Feathers

The second toy can also be found in Highmountain, scattered around the settlement of Skyhorn. The toy is made from 4 items, which must all be found first. For convenience, we recommend using an interface addon that allows you to see coordinates on the map.

Once you have found all 4 parts, you just need to right-click to combine them into the new toy – and you’ll have the Skyhorn Drake!

What does the Skyhorn Drake made from Roc Feathers do?

The Skyhorn Drake functions exactly like a Goblin Glider used by engineers. However, it has the limitations of a 3-minute cooldown and only lasts for 1 minute. Additionally, this glider can only be used on the Broken Isles. However, it is not consumed upon use. Jumping from a high position (like a mountain peak) allows you to easily glide over an entire area.

Until there is actual flying in the areas of Legion, these two toys are probably the best effects for quick (and almost safe) travel in the Broken Isles. Enjoy!

Professions are important again in WoW: Legion. But which combination should you choose? Are gathering professions even worth it?

The Dilemma of Profession Choice

Year after year, WoW players ask the same questions. Which professions are useful in the upcoming expansion? What benefits do my professions still have in Legion?

In Legion, all professions are revamped, but the core, sensible combinations haven’t changed much. A blacksmith still needs ores from a miner, alchemists cannot do without the plants of an herbalist, and tailoring still pairs excellently with enchanting.

As a tip, we recommend reflecting on “classic combinations” – that is, a crafting profession in conjunction with the appropriate gathering profession. Since you (at least at the beginning of Legion) primarily play just one character to not fall behind in artifact power, it may become difficult to supply pure crafters with resources from alts. Because every minute spent not on the main character at the start means lost artifact power for the main. However, those who can afford to forgo a few decimals in character strength can safely stick with their already chosen professions. Traditionally, it takes a while for resources to be offered at affordable prices in the auction house.

The Blood of Sargeras – the Important Crafting Resource

All crafting professions will sooner or later have to deal with the Blood of Sargeras. This is a new, rare resource that can best be compared to Fel Corruption. Only with this material (and Obliterum) can crafted armor be upgraded up to item level 850. Blood of Sargeras can be found at level 110 almost everywhere – through world quests, dungeon visits, gathering professions, or even fishing.

Generally speaking: Yes, gathering professions have a slight advantage when it comes to acquiring “Blood of Sargeras” because it is an additional source from which the resource can be obtained. However, it is not strictly necessary, as Blood can also be solidly gathered through world quests or even a shoulder enchant that can be obtained from the “Sentinels”. However, we advise against having two gathering professions simultaneously – as the blood is soulbound, it does not (so far) have any use for pure gatherers.

By the way: Blizzard plans to further develop professions in the upcoming content patches. Even if a profession currently does not seem very lucrative, it might have new, exciting recipes in patch 7.1 or 7.2.

Mein-MMO thinks: Even though it’s the “casual answer,” players should stick with the professions that they enjoy. A big overhaul is not necessary, as the temporary benefits, such as crafted gear, can quickly be compensated for through dungeons or world quests.
