Just stumbled onto the same issue; go to Tyrhold, a short flight towards the east where Alexstraza is waiting (you can see it from the top of the tower, another tower with a lightbeam shooting up from it). Complete the two quests there; killing a dragon and finding Alexstraza. After that there's a weird double up, her dragon form flies back to Valdrakken and her human form stays outside the dungeon entrance. Her dragon form is now in Valdrakken again, able to interact.

QUEST: A MESSAGE MOST DIRE

There are two quests for turn in when greeting Alexstraza. I turned in the first one on the list, then she flew off and now I can not turn in the second one which is the most important. Come to find out I should have turn in the second quest on her list first.

She is no longer here and have no clue where she is to turn in the second one. I tried to greet her at the Ruby Life Pools, she was there but doesn't acknowledge my quest completion.

Guess I'll have to contact customer service to complete the turn in.

So I tried to send a request for assistance through Customer Service. Guess what! Their Customer Service Request is BROKEN too!

So now I have a character who can't go any further into the Campaign until I can get in touch with the BROKEN WORLD OF WARCRAFT Customer Service!

Description

Kalecgos would not speak of what happened in the Azure Span till you arrived. Whatever he has to share gives me a terrible sense of foreboding, {name}.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To ValdrakkenThaldraszus · Level 40-70

    Thanks to you, we narrowly avoided a complete catastrophe. However, we should convene with the other Aspects and share word of what happened here. Please meet me at the Seat of the Aspects within Valdrakken. I'm sure the others will have insight into what Raszageth and her Primalists are attempting.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Nowhere to HideThaldraszus · Level 40-70

    Welcome to Valdrakken, <race>. The climate in the city has been a bit warm of late, and I do not mean the weather. The Primalists are skulking about, fomenting dissent among the citizens of our city. Our foes are crafty.
