To get this stuff done you travel to the map/area were the invasion is going on.
There you need to do 4 world quests with the invasion logo on it. (you will see what I mean in the map)
After that you get a follow up to talk to some NPC and he/she gives you a new quest.
Click on the same NPC to get send of to the new quest area.
After that you will get in to a scenario to finish of this quest.

If you are here for you class mount, REJOICE!

From patch 9.1.5, Breaching the Tomb achievement becomes Account-Wide. Meaning it is only required on one character in order to unlock the class mounts quests on Alts!

HOWEVER, each character must still complete their class hall campaign, get their titles, and recruit their final order hall champion.

Legion Assaults will last 6 hours and can be seen from the Broken Isles map. Once they are active, special world quests will appear in the zone undergoing an assault. As you enter the assaulted zone (see Defender of the Broken Isles for options), you will receive a quest named "Assault on [zone]" (e.g. Assault on Azsuna). Complete the quest line associated with a zone experiencing a Legion Assault, which will end with a scenario quest that follows the naming scheme "Battle for [zone]" (e.g. [quest=47193]). Once the scenario quest, regardless of which zone, is turned in, Defending Broken Isles will be marked as complete. You can then return to [npc=116576] at Deliverance Point in Broken Shore to turn in this quest.

It's now looking like there will be 4 invasions every 3 days, at differing times throughout the days.

Description

In our zeal to reclaim the Broken Shore from the Legion, we cannot allow the rest of this land to fall into the demons' foul grip. Kil'jaeden has dispatched his forces across the Broken Isles, threatening the homelands of the allies you have made. You must answer their call in this hour of need. Turn back these demon assaults with haste, {class}t. The Armies of Legionfall will see that the Broken Shore remains secured.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Legionfall SuppliesLevel 45

    If we don't build up some respectable fortifications, we'll lose our foothold on the Broken Shore. That ain't gonna happen on my watch, mate! We started construction on three key structures: the Mage Tower, the Nether Disruptor, and the Command Center.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Begin ConstructionLevel 45

    We've got the supplies. Now someone needs to decide what to do with 'em. Hmm. Looks like it's your call, being the <class>t and all! Time to pick a building to focus on.
