Hello you, I know you tabbed out in Zuldazar after logging out and back in again after the quest marker told you where to go
you need to be in the Ringing Deeps instead, at 62.5, 78.4

don't trust the markers, they put them in the water and that's how they get ya

Skipping the campaign quest line seems like a nice option for alts. But there is a trade-off. You don’t need to run the quest line to get to Undermine once you’ve gotten to Undermine on one character. In previous expansions a storyline skip sometimes made sense - typically I think because the loot/currency gained was not worth the time/pain.

But once your first character has made it to Undermine, you can:

  • use the teleporter from Dornogal to Undermine on all your alts

  • use the D.R.I.V.E. [spell=460013] - even with upgrades you’ve applied on your first character

  • complete daily and weekly quests in Undermine

  • attack world bosses and rare elites there

  • hmm, what else?


  • You have to go to Undermine (use the teleporter from Dornogal), to the inn and talk to [npc=231045] in order to skip the quest line

    Along the way you also pick up some item Level 600 gear, which might even be an upgrade for some alts. By skipping the campaign however, you forfeit a few thousand Gs, around 900 [currency=3008] and even an [item=230936] - and potentially some lucrative loot/gear from completing the raid for Liberation of Undermine: The House Loses.

    So, is the skip worth it?

    Lots of these workers are headed to a Venture camp just down the road. That's a great first stop for information. We'll pay the tollbooth fee. It's best to just play along for now.
