The Harbinger is a quest for level 70. It is step 1 of 15 in the Hunt for the Harbinger storyline, the opening step.
We are in need of your aid once more, champion. A mysterious figure moves within the shadows. The Harbinger...
Let us speak in the Chamber of the Guardian. I've asked Alleria to meet us there as well.

It looks like if you didn't complete this quest before the patch you will have to abandon the pre-launch event quest to be able to do this part. Because if you have that other quest you'll be out of phase for this one and won't see the NPCs you need to talk to.

If you are a completionist like me and want to do everything on every alt, then here's a tip. Now that TWW has started and we're in Patch 11.0.2, if you accidentally abandon this quest, the quest goes away and so does the quest item. Abandoning the Jaina/Thrall quest to reacquire this quest through the Adventure Guide no longer works as described in older posts, or at least it didn't for me.
I finally discovered that there's a floating scroll as you enter the Library in Stormwind Keep called "Khadgar's Summons". This is the quest giver to reacquire this quest. You can have the Silithus quest active and still get this quest here. I'm presuming that for the horde players, this will appear in the center of Orgrimmar near the archaeology trainer.
| Type | Reward | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Currency | Flightstones | 5 |
Earned from completing world quests, raids, dungeons, battlegrounds, arena matches, and other activities. Used to upgrade max-level gear.
Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
| Turn-in map | Dalaran | |
|---|---|---|
| Objective area | Dalaran | 1 mapped point |
| Objective area | Stormwind City | 1 mapped point |
| Objective area | Orgrimmar | 1 mapped point |
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Dalaran, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.
Flight points closest to the quest’s turn-in marker on Dalaran:
From the turn-in, the objective areas lie:
Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.
Part 1 of 15.
Next: The Harbinger
Storyline order is the client’s own QuestLine data from the current retail build.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
If this investigation involves the Void, it would be wise to consult the void elves. We must head to Telogrus Rift and report the situation. I'll speak with Umbric. He'll be able to mobilize the Riftwalkers to our cause.
Hunt for the Harbinger has 15 steps, from The Harbinger to The Harbinger.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Telogrus Rift (6), Dalaran (3), The Storm Peaks (2), Eredath (2).
Steps of this storyline count toward:
Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
2 quests carry the name The Harbinger. They differ in the rewards shown here.
| Quest | Rewards | ID |
|---|---|---|
| The Harbinger (this page) | 5 Flightstones | 79009 |
| The Harbinger | 5 Flightstones, 1,200 XP | 81654 |
