TheWoWDBI was just barely Honored when i completed the previous quest. Had to do some dailies and auto-received this quest when i hit 3000 rep into Honored. (2985 + 75 = 3060 is when i got it, exactly).

For the BFA War Campaign, there are 4 breadcrumb quests: Operation: Blood Arrow, Operation: Cutpurse, Operation: Gryphon's Claw & Operation: Heartstrike. They all act in the same way. Originally they would pop up during the campaign, telling you you needed to get more reputation with The 7th Legion before opening up next step. However, in 8.2.5, Blizzard removed the reputation requirements for the War Campaign quests. At first I thought that had effectively made these breadcrumbs unavailable, but they can be done, you just have to do things in a very specific manner.
For Operation: Blood Arrow:
1) Do all the intro quests from Halford, up to and including Blood on the Sand.
2) Do not accept next War Campaign quest from Halford yet.
3) If needed, grind 7th Legion reputation up to Friendly 4500/6000. Check https://www.wowhead.com/guide/the-7th-legion-reputation-guide-6196 for tips.
4) Triggering the actual quest can be done in two ways: Getting reputation with 7th Legion past the required rep (for example by doing a WQ on Zandalar) or by relogging in Stormwind.
5) Now you can turn in Operation: Blood Arrow and continue on with next step of the War Campaign.For Operation: Cutpurse:
1) Continue on with War Campaign, up to and including Target: Blood Prince Dreven.
2) Do not accept next War Campaign quest from Halford yet.
3) If needed, grind 7th Legion reputation up to Honored 3000/12000.
4) Triggering the actual quest can be done in two ways: Getting reputation with 7th Legion past the required rep (for example by doing a WQ on Zandalar) or by relogging in Stormwind.
5) Now you can turn in Operation: Cutpurse and continue on with next step of the War Campaign.For Operation: Gryphon's Claw:
1) Continue on with War Campaign, up to and including Gallywix Got Away.
2) Do not accept next War Campaign quest from Halford yet.
3) If needed, grind 7th Legion reputation up to Honored 7500/12000.
4) Triggering the actual quest can be done in two ways: Getting reputation with 7th Legion past the required rep (for example by doing a WQ on Zandalar) or by relogging in Stormwind.

Description
It is time to reconvene for our next mission, though Shandris and I disagree on what exactly that should entail. Meet us on the Wind's Redemption.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gallywix Got Away
I must confess my disappointment that we were not able to bring an end to Gallywix's greedy reign today. But I blame no one but myself, and will report the same to the High Commander. Your performance was exemplary, just as I expected.
