In Dire Need

In Dire Need is a quest for level 45. It is step 4 of 4 in The Council's Challenge storyline, the final step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dalaran at 22.3, 39.7. It rewards 775 experience and money.

Description

The ill tidings you bear only increase the concerns the Council has been having.

I know you have your hands full with the Tomb of Sargeras. Make no mistake, the battle for the tomb remains our top priority--but we must not think the Legion foolish enough to rely on brute force alone. They are far more cunning than that.

Please, hear us out.

WARNING! This questline is available at artifact rank 34 and can be completed HOWEVER you cannot proceed to the next part until you have hit artifact rank 35 with at least one specialization.

I just completed this as an Affliction Warlock at artifact rank 34 (I have only worked on one weapon as this is an alt) , and then no quests were offered to me until i grinded the necessary Artifact power to hit rank 35, then the quest became available from Archmage Karlain who is standing to the right of Khadgar in the Violet Citadel.

Ok... this just bugged out for me and the Council of Six turned around and walked through the walls and plummeted to their deaths!

Anyway... I tried logging off and back on and they walked through the walls, again... and fell from the tower.

What solved the problem: I took the portal back down to Dalaran, and ran through the Purple Parlor port again... and they were all back in place with the quest completed. I did not hear the dialogue I was supposed to hear... but the quest completed.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Away From Prying EyesLevel 45

    Wars are not won solely with armies charging bravely across the battlefield, <class>t. Sometimes, it is the actions of individuals that matter most, fighting battles few ever hear about. That is why - <Khadgar furrows his brow slightly.> We should really discuss this somewhere a tad more private.

The storyline at a glance

The Council's Challenge has 4 steps, from The Broken Shore: Investigating the Legion to In Dire Need.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Dalaran (3), Broken Shore (1).
