When I took the boat to Northrend, my game crashed... when I re-entered, I was on the boat in Borean Tundra, but the quest didn't flag as completed. Couldn't see any NPC to claim it, so I went back on the boat, and back to Stormwind.

When I arrived in Stormwind, that's when the quest auto-completed. "Welcome to Northrend," it says, just as I arrive at the Stormwind dock, lol!

Just stay on the boat to return back to Northrend, and enjoy the Frozen North!

New quest offered by Chromie should you opt not to continue your adventure into BFA content after reaching level 10 if you choose starters island. Not sure if you still get directed to BFA content at level 10 if you choose your racial starter zone.

This one leads into Northrend for Alliance. Replaces the old level 60 pop-up you got after choosing Northrend from Adventure Calls

Now then, the first quest in Howling Fjord's zone is Hell has Frozen Over offered up by this dwarf pacing the docks when you arrive. The first quest for Borean Tundra would be Enlistment Day offered up by this dude.

GREETINGS fellow dragonflight players. Chromie gave me this quest when I set Chromie Time to Northrend. I was able to resolve it. FORGET THE BOAT. Travel to Northrend using your favorite method and then fly to Howling Fjord.

I was on the flight taxi to see if I needed to meet that boat from the other side (as has been suggested on the Other Version Of This Quest, the one given the non-Chromie way). Apparently just trying to, was sufficient.

I've rarely been so excited to hear my quest mod utter "good job".

Edit to Add: Turn in via slide-out / autocomplete in your quest log.
