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!
