If you abandon Darkheart Thicket: Essence of Regrowth or Eye of Azshara: Essence of Balance you will not see the interactive objects needed to initiate them. Halls of Valor: Essence of Ferocity and Neltharion's Lair: Essence of Tenacity are still obtainable if abandoned.

I am opening a ticket and suggest you do too if you're affected. More tickets will probably result in a quicker hotfix for this issue hopefully!

Description

Within the Eye of Azshara in Azsuna, a powerful being known as the Wrath of Azshara grows in strength. It is a blasphemy of nature - an infusion of stolen arcane power, and cannot be allowed to exist. Slay it. In its aftermath, you may find the essence of balance that you seek.

Inside the dungeon: Eye of Azshara

Amidst outlying shoals off the coast of Azsuna, an ancient source of power lies beneath the waves. Long ago, the power of Queen Azshara extended throughout these lands, and the naga seeking the Tidestone of Golganneth still act at her behest.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Darkheart Thicket: Essence of RegrowthLevel 10-45

    My child, I can think of only one place to capture the essence of regrowth. Deep within Darkheart Thicket is Oakheart, a loyal ancient defender of the grove. He has recently fallen to the Nightmare's corruption, but deep within his heart, he still fights.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Way to NordrassilLevel 45

    The time has come for us to use the Idol of the Wilds and commune with Malorne. The ritual will require a great deal of power, so we have decided to convene at Nordrassil and draw upon the World Tree's essence. There is no time to waste. The fastest path will be through the Emerald Dreamway.
