Strike at the Heart

For players, such as myself, who finished the entire quest-line, completed quite a few achievements, left, but then came back a while after to finish up the rest of the achievements and found themselves wondering which and how many of the available quests they needed to complete to reach certain achievement related dailies.

Behold- the bare minimum!
You must complete these everyday (In order to reach the quests for: Ready for Raiding II
[npc=52467]: (Aggressive Growth/Wisp Away)
[npc=53080]: Burn Victims
[npc=52824]: Hostile Elements and (Breach in the Defenses/The Dogs of War/The Harder They Fall/Traitors Return)

---

You must then choose one of the two quests offered by General Taldris.
You can do either, it's simply prefrence as they both lead to the necessary quest for: Ready for Raiding II)
The Forlorn Spire or Into the Fire

---

If you choose: The Forlorn Spire.
You can ignore all the quests, to proceed (other then: The Wardens are Watching which will continue the chain.)
1. The Wardens are Watching
2. Enduring the Heat
3. Strike at the Heart (i.e. Our Quest for Ready for Raiding II)
Important: If You don't get credit for the kill in the achievement tracker then abandon the quest and re-grab it!
Note: This Quest is Indeed a Daily (Even though Wowhead displays this version (offered by Shalis Darkhunter) as being a non-repeatable Quest.)

---

If you choose: Into the Fire.
You can ignore any of the quests in the immediate area other then Thisalee Crow's Quests to proceed.
1. Both of Thisalee Crow's Quests

1. 
   
2. Flamewakers of the Molten Flow
3. 
   
4. Fire Flowers- Note: You do not turn this quest into her; the quest ends back on the surface, so you must take the tunnel back up to turn in this quest. When you turn this in, there will now be offered more quests.
   
5. 
   

You can ignore any of the quests in the immediate area other then Morthis Whisperwing's Quest.
3. Morthis Whisperwing's Quest- Note: You can turn this quest into him or into Skylord Omnuron, whom you need to travel to next to obtain the next quest.
4. Strike at the Heart (i.e. Our Quest for Ready for Raiding II)
Important: If You don't get credit for the kill in the achievement tracker then abandon the quest and re-grab it!

The Into the Fire version is far more tedious and time consuming in my own personal opinion.
Choosing Into the Fire also has a chance to backfire as completing this method two days in a row will result in Morthis Whisperwing's Quest being Fire in the Skies which will not allow you to obtain Strike at the Heart for that day.

In order for this quest to become active:

1) Enlist both the Shadow Wardens and the Druids of the Talon.
2) Complete the quest Calling the Ancients.
3) Finish all the regular dailies.

I'd been not turning in Fire in the Skies, in order to get a daily bombing run for the Death From Above achievement. And then trying to figure out why the quest wasn't activating for me...

It looks like the only way to get access to this particular daily is to only do the bombing runs every other day. :(

Since you chose to help the Druids of the Talon today, your helpers are [npc=53074] and [npc=53481]. Somehow you periodically end up with circles of swirling wind on the ground - nobody seems actually to cast anything. Stepping into one gives you [spell=99178], and so jumping sends you flying through the air, to help you escape from whatever fiery hell is on the ground. You gain [spell=99177] until you land, and take no fall damage. Or, especially if you're ranged, just stand in the circle and revel in the awesome haste buff. The Shadow Wardens' version of Strike at the Heart has a different escape mechanic - shadow gates you can port between. If you're having trouble, just stay out of the fire and stay alive - your helpers are pretty tough.

To get this quest you need to have to have progressed far enough with the Firelands Invasion to have completed Calling the Ancients (as previously stated), and you have to do at least nine other quests today:
* Burn Victims
* Hostile Elements
* [npc=52824]'s other quest of the day (Breach in the Defenses, The Dogs of War, The Harder They Fall, or Traitors Return)
* [npc=52467]'s quest of the day (Aggressive Growth or Wisp Away)
* * Into the Fire ([npc=52824] will also offer The Forlorn Spire at this point for the Shadow Wardens, but you don't want it - you can only help one group each day)
* * * Fire Flowers
* * * Flamewakers of the Molten Flow
* * * * [npc=53259]'s quest of the day (Singed Wings or Territorial Birds)
* * * * [npc=52491]'s quest of the day (Fire in the Skies, Peaked Interest, Starting Young, or possibly even Mother's Malice but I've never seen that one)

The Shadow Wardens' version requires two fewer quests, so if you're in a rush and only care about Ready for Raiding II, you may want to do that side instead.

Edit: Haste clarification
