When are the invasions coming?

The Legion invasions (and [class=12 domain=legion] early access) arrived August 9, 2016 (US) and August 10, 2016 (EU). The will continue until August 30, 2016 when Legion launches, and will progressively become more frequent until that point.


Invasion Scenarios

There will be 6 different invasion events during the pre-launch patch. After the invasions start, they will become more and more frequent as we get closer to the launch of the expansion (August 30, 2016).
Each invasion is a scenario entered by anyone that moves into the invasion area, and has 4 stages. There is a progress bar for Stages 1 and 3 which is zone-wide - you will see how close you are to the next stage. Stage 2 and 4 have boss objectives, and completing these will complete the stage.
Note that the invasion instance you enter may already be in progress, with potentially a stage or stages completed already.
The stages are below:


  • Stage 1 - Defend against a general invasion point (e.g. Orgrimmar Rear Gate). Mobs are fairly trivial in nature, although numerous.

  • Stage 2 - Defeat two lieutenants and a commander. The commander spawns after the lieutenants are killed. These bosses hit pretty hard, so DPS and healers have to watch threat.

  • Stage 3 - Defeat the invading forces marked on the map - a zone-wide objective, with various activities that will advance the progress bar:

    • There are mobs to kill, of various sizes and strengths. These can be found at invasion points, marked on the map.

    • There are protected "Legion Structures" also marked on the map. You must kill the mobs protecting the structures; doing so will make the [npc=96985]s attackable. When the crystals are destroyed, the structure collapses.

    • There are various mini bosses scattered around the zone during this phase. These hit pretty hard, so ideally they need to be tanked or kited. These mini bosses often drop [currency=1226 domain=legion]s, so it's worthwhile helping to kill them! They are marked on the map with skulls.



  • Stage 4 - Defeat a boss NPC at the original invasion point (requires a group). These bosses hit VERY hard and have some abilities that will kill you if you do not avoid them (e.g. breath mechanics - make sure to stand behind the boss!)



Some other miscellaneous notes:


  • Zones that have active invasions are marked very clearly on the world map. Note that only zones in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms are involved.

    • Mousing over the invasion icon will show you a timer, indicating how much time is left in the invasion, so that you can get there.



  • Entering a zone with an active invasion will put you into a scenario instance. There will be multiple instances going on at one time, so arriving at any point while the invasion is active will allow you to participate.

  • There are various vehicles you can use to assist you during the invasion (e.g. Demolishers, Glaives). These usually have a few abilities that will do area damage to mobs.

  • Most of the mobs killed for the invasions do not drop anything, although minibosses do. The shards/chests that are rewarded go into your bags automatically (even if you are dead when the appropriate stage is completed).

Rewards from the invasion are as follows:


  • Stage 1 - Nil.

  • Stage 2 - [item=139048], which will contain 5 [currency=1226 domain=legion], guaranteed iLevel 700 Fel-Touched Gear*, and a chance for iLevel 700** weapons, with very unique models.
    Helping to kill the minibosses during this stage will reward more [currency=1226 domain=legion]s (5-10 extra).

  • Stage 3 - 10 [currency=1226 domain=legion] at the end of the stage. Additionally, mini-bosses during this stage drop [currency=1226 domain=legion]s (reportedly 5-15). Therefore, killing these can net you a much higher yield than any other stage!

  • Stage 4 - [item=139049], which will contain 10 [currency=1226 domain=legion], guaranteed iLevel 700 Fel-Touched Gear*, and a chance for iLevel 700** weapons, with very unique models.


TOTAL: 25-80+ [currency=1226 domain=legion] per invasion

*This armor is the same armor that makes up the 4 transmog armor ensembles available for 200 [currency=1226 domain=legion]. If you are wanting only the transmog appearances and not the gear, collecting it piece-by-piece from these chests will be presumably much slower than buying the Ensemble.
**These weapons can be upgraded to iLevel 725 using [item=139171], which will also be available during the pre-launch event

Completing a single invasion rewards the achievement Stand Against the Legion.
Completing 6 of the invasions (as listed below) will reward Defender of Azeroth: Legion Invasions

The above achievements will be Feats of Strength (similar to Tripping the Rifts from the Cataclysm pre-expansion event) that will not be obtainable after Legion launches.

Another Feat of Strength that will be exclusively available during the Legion pre-launch event is It All Makes Sense Now (collect all 12 of the pamphlets from Doomsayer NPCs in Orgrimmar/Stormwind).

[currency=1226 domain=legion] Currency

[currency=1226 domain=legion] is a new currency that will be specific to the Legion pre-launch event. These can be earned via invasion scenario events (25-50+ [currency=1226 domain=legion] per invasion).

Note that aside from [currency=1226 domain=legion]s, the invasions grant achievements, and also the Stage 2 and Stage 4 chests can have unique weapons in them (that can be upgraded to item level 725).

The items available for [currency=1226 domain=legion]s include transmog sets and item level 700 necks, rings, trinkets, weapon upgrade items, and a pet! These items are sold by [npc=109912], who can be found in the Illidari camps in all invasion zones, as well as Orgrimmar and Stormwind City as below.
Note that the vendors in Orgrimmar and Stormwind City require that you complete the Broken Shore scenario to see them; the ones in the invasion zones are visible regardless.
