World of Warcraft: The War Within - Patch 11.1 Prologue and Dalaran Epilogue Guide
The saga of World of Warcraft: The War Within continues! Beyond the Siren Isle update and the anticipated Season 2 launch in 2025 (bringing new endgame content and story chapters), Patch 11.0.7 introduces crucial story quests. These quests lay the groundwork for Patch 11.1, centered around the Goblin capital, Undermine, and conclude the tragic tale of Dalaran's destruction. Note that the Dalaran Epilogue wasn't immediately available upon patch release.
Updated January 7, 2025: The recent campaign quests mark a significant turning point. Dalaran, a Warcraft staple, may never recover from the events of The War Within. The Dalaran Epilogue questline provides a fitting conclusion and farewell to this once-important social hub in Wrath of the Lich King and Legion.
Spoilers Ahead! Read with Caution.
Accessing the Patch 11.1 Prologue: Lingering Shadows
Unlike the Dalaran Epilogue, the "Lingering Shadows" campaign is immediately accessible. Completion of the leveling or Level 80 campaigns isn't required, though catching up on the story beforehand is recommended to avoid spoilers and enhance understanding.
The Lingering Shadows campaign includes:
- Lingering Shadows
- Price of a Mission
- Standing in the Way
- No Breathing Room
- Together, Alone
- The Voice
- Ringing in the Deeps
- Good Help These Days
- Hey, What's Going On?
- Haywired and Hostile
- Built to Blast
- Bat Versus World
- Found Friends
After "Found Friends," speak with Orweyna. Her quest, while not part of the main campaign, offers insights into future plot developments within The War Within or subsequent World Soul Saga expansions.
Unlocking the Dalaran Epilogue in World of Warcraft: The War Within
Initially gated behind a three-week timer, the Dalaran Epilogue is now accessible (as of January 7th). However, you must have completed both the leveling campaign and the Level 80 campaign (requiring Renown Four with all four Khaz'algar factions).
To check your progress, visit Foundation Hall (where Patch 11.1 prologue quests begin). If Khadgar is present (after January 7th), you can receive his quest. If not, you need to finish remaining campaign quests.
The Dalaran Epilogue questline comprises:
- Survivor's Guilt
- The Hardest Part
- Arcane Wasteland
- Lessons in Defensive Magic
- Feeling Blue
- Magic-Stealing Kobolds
- Trinkets, Curios, and Other Powerful Objects
- Mysterious Necklace (near Kalecgos; look for a Kobold in a magic field)
- Maybe You Shouldn't Touch That
- Trapped Between Life and Death
- Somehow We Survived
- A Helping Hand
- Arcane Cold War
- Critical Mass
- Preserve the Legacy
- Too Powerful, Too Dangerous
- Farewell, City of Magic
Completing this questline unlocks the "Fate of the Kirin Tor" achievement and the "Witness of the Kirin Tor" title.
