When I did it, it did not register as completed, but I did finish it and was back at my order hall. So I jumped down to where we fought the legion, and the portal was there, clicked it, went inside, no scenario, but killed some mobs and it suddenly flagged completed.

I had to Hearthstone to get out from the phase, went back into the order hall, ran to the middle, then something funny happened... :P

There was no Illidari Gateway to teleport back to the Fel Hammer and no quest to pick up either. So I used the Dalaran Hearthstone and glided from Krassus Landing to the Fel Hammer instead. Nothing happened at all. Everything on board was as normal. Went up to the balcony and glided down into Mardum and... could now pick up the quest. WEIRD.

  • We Must be Prepared!Level 45

    The Legion ships are gone, for now. It's only a matter of time before they attack again, and we must be prepared. We need to get going on repairs immediately! Lady S'theno took the lead on the search for parts. That one will do anything to remain on solid ground, ha!
