My dad just finally completed the core campaign on his most advanced character. (adventure mode, WQs, aid-the-factions all opened, achieve for the campaign complete dinged.)

Not sure when/where to get this quest to pop for him.

He's logged out for the day, we'll see if that and logging back in turns out to be all he needs.
