Advancing the War Effort

Advancing the War Effort is a quest for level 45. It is step 6 of 15 in The Four Horsemen II storyline. It rewards 7,700 experience and money.

Description

The quest for the Four Horsemen is of the utmost importance, however we must turn our attention to the warfront.

Our continued success on the field of battle has shaken the Burning Legion and as a result, they have increased the frequency and intensity of their assaults.

We must meet the increased aggression with continued resistance!

Only then will we be able to turn our attention back to the Four Horsemen.

As of 9.0, in Chromie Time, sometimes your alt can reach this step of the storyline while still have not unlocked Broken Isles world quests. This can be remedied by speaking to Khadgar in Dalaran (Broken Isles), accept the quest Uniting the Isles, and complete the quest simply by speaking to Khadgar again (Source: Blizzard Support Article ID 53340).

Completing the quest Uniting the Isles requires Friendly rep standing with the 5 Legion leveling zone factions.

By the way, Shadowlands world quests (WQs) also count! Not just BFA world quests. :3

That said, as of 9.0, Shadowlands WQs are quite dangerous and take far longer. Unless there is a meaningful reward like a gear upgrade (instead of currencies expected to become much easier to earn in the future like [currency=1813]), it would be far faster for Level 60's to complete WQs in the old expansions.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Zealot RisesLevel 45

    Sometimes the line between hero and villain is nothing more than perception. As High Inquisitor, Sally Whitemane saw herself as a champion of humanity in the war against the scourge. Yet under her leadership the Scarlet Crusade slew the living along with the undead.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Aggregates of AnguishLevel 45

    Our preparations for conjuring the Steeds of the Damned are nearly complete. Salanar the Horseman has given us a list of the remaining components. The ritual of conjuring requires five unholy essences known as the Aggregates of Anguish.
