Edit: This event has been deprecated and no longer exists as of 7.0.1. The Legion equivalent is the World Quest bonus event.

This quest is only available to be picked up and completed during the weekend Apexis bonus event once your Garrison has a shipyard, from [npc=94870] next to your Garrison town hall or from your Adventurer Journal, and can be completed once per weekend bonus event per character with a shipyard.

A buff [spell=186400] granting 200% increased Apexis from mob kills will be visible on your character when the event is active and the quest will be removed from your quest log once the event is finished so make sure you finish it before 11pm on Monday. You can complete any of the Apexis bonus objectives, from the 5 available in Tanaan to the scouting missives and dailies in your Garrison to get progress.

Rewards 1500 [currency=1101], 5000 [currency=823], 1000 [currency=824] and 500 [currency=1191] instead of the previously listed 1k Oil.

Interestingly, a bug(?) still currently allows you to gain credit for this quest based on Tanaan Apexis bonus objectives you've already completed recently (unsure of the exact timeframe), allowing for instant turn in for some people. This bug appears to have been fixed.

As soon as I accepted this quest it automatcially flagged as completed, rewarding 5000 Apexis Crystals, 1000 Garrison Resources and 1500 Oil. Free stuff, yay! Maybe a bug or it might delibertely take past bonus objectives already completed during the same reset into account.

Edit: corrected count of oil reward from 1000 to 1500.

UPDATE:
There was recently an issue with the quest that has since been addressed. With that said, players who were working on this during the time of the fix will find that they are unable to complete quest progression. If you experience this, you are encouraged to drop the quest and reacquire before reattempting. Please note that you will lose any progress you have made towards this quest. This should only be necessary once. We apologize for any inconvenience!

Hey guys, we’ve discovered that the following bonus objective areas will NOT count towards The Time to Strike event quest due to a bug:
• Assault on Ironhold Harbor (Horde : Alliance)
• Assault on the Temple of Sha’naar (Horde : Alliance)
• Assault on the Ruins of Kra’nak (Horde : Alliance)
• Assault on the Fel Forge (Horde : Alliance)
• Assault on the Throne of Kil’jaeden (Horde : Alliance)

So until this is fixed, you should venture to other bonus objective areas in order to complete The Time to Strike. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Description

This configuration of the stars causes an unusual vibration in the crystals strewn across Draenor, relics of the ancient Apexis. Some swear that the crystals will multiply when left unattended beneath the night sky, but none have seen the phenomenon firsthand. Regardless of the true cause, these crystals should be far more plentiful should you seek them out.
