Here's what I had to do to get this POS quest and We'll Cross that Bridge to work properly when the Frostdrake is permanently stunned and can't be hit


  • Abandon Call of the Dream if you haven't already - IMHO the likely culprit to this whole quest line being bugged as eff

  • Abandon both We'll Cross that Bridge and Dousing the Wards quest

  • Leave the area and fly back - I specifically Hearthed and flew back after doing Auction house stuff

  • Accept the quest We'll Cross that Bridge and do not accept Dousing the Wards yet

  • Confirm that the Frostdrake is no longer stunned and is performing a gust attack

  • Complete We'll Cross that Bridge items and then you can now accept Dousing the Wards - NOTE: The 4th ward I had issues with is actually hidden within the Dream Locus orb and I had to click above it as you can see the tip of the ward

I accepted Call of the Dream after this was done but I'm sure it'll break more quests

That is every comment on this page.

Description

Fyrakk and Vyranoth are already here. I spotted them near the overlook at the northeastern edge of Lunedane. Landing close to their location would reveal our presence, thus we are forced to begin our mission here. However, the bridge connecting this area to the overlook has been protected with fire magic. We will not be able to break through it. Fyrakk's Primalist allies appear to be maintaining the fire using wards set up around this area. If we destroy the wards, the fire should subside.

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.

  • Fire SeasonOhn'ahran Plains · Level 10-80

    No doubt you have seen the destruction that Fyrakk continues to leave in his wake. While others fight him directly, my troops and I have been serving as the eyes and ears of the green dragonflight. Although Fyrakk's actions may seem erratic, there are trends to his strategies.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Eyes of FireOhn'ahran Plains · Level 10-80

    This area is swarming with far more Primalists than I expected. Fyrakk does not generally travel with guards, so I doubt the Primalists are here to accompany him. They seem to be trying to establish a foothold here. But why? Perhaps whatever the Incarnates are discussing will answer that question.

The storyline at a glance

The Coalition of Flames has 6 steps, from Fire Season to Raise the Alarm.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Ohn'ahran Plains (5), Valdrakken (1).
