Description

As druids, our charge is to defend nature... and in turn, our home, Azeroth.

Conflict breaks out all across the Broken Isles. The Burning Legion pushes forward, and numerous allies call out for our aid.

We must focus our efforts on defense, before we can mount an offense against the Nightmare.

Help our allies across the Broken Isles, then return to me when the situation is under control.

It will only count the first wq I do. No matter how many wq I do the counter says "-1/10 World Quests complete." Help!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Focusing the EnergiesLevel 45
In addition to shards of nightmare, we need Blood of Sargeras to reactivate the portal to the Rift of Aln. This rare reagent can be obtained from around the Broken Isles. Rumor has it that emissaries are in search of hardened adventurers, and may offer these in reward.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Enter NightmareLevel 45
The portal to the nightmare is ready, <name>. Remulos and the others have already gone ahead. There is no telling what horrors await on the other side, <name>. Good luck.
