• How to Begin the Patch 11.1 Prologue

• Initiating the Dalaran Epilogue in World of Warcraft: The War Within

The narrative of World of Warcraft: The War Within continues to unfold. Beyond the Siren Isle update, Season 2, anticipated later in 2025, promises fresh endgame content and the next chapter of this expansion. However, Patch 11.0.7 introduces several new story quests, setting the stage for Patch 11.1 and its focus on Undermine, the Goblin capital. A separate questline concludes the tragic story of Dalaran's destruction, though it wasn't immediately available upon patch launch.

Updated January 7, 2025, by Paul Woodward: The recent campaign quests mark a significant turning point. Dalaran, a long-standing fixture in Warcraft lore, may never fully recover from the events of The War Within. The Dalaran Epilogue questline provides closure to this storyline and a fitting farewell to a crucial social hub in Wrath of the Lich King and Legion.

Spoilers ahead, read with caution.

How to Begin the Patch 11.1 Prologue

Unlike the Dalaran Epilogue, the "Lingering Shadows" campaign is immediately accessible. Completion of the leveling or Level 80 campaign isn't required. However, completing prior storylines is recommended to avoid spoilers and enhance understanding. The "Lingering Shadows" campaign comprises:

• 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 potential future developments in The War Within or other World Soul Saga expansions.

Initiating the Dalaran Epilogue in World of Warcraft: The War Within

Initially, a three-week delay was in place for the Dalaran Epilogue. As of January 7th, this restriction is lifted. To unlock this campaign, you must complete both the leveling campaign and the Level 80 campaign (requiring Renown Four with all four Khaz Algar factions).

If unsure about your progress, visit Foundation Hall (the prologue quest starting point for Patch 11.1). Khadgar's presence indicates eligibility for his quest (on or after January 7th). His absence signifies unfinished campaign quests. The Dalaran Epilogue quest list is below.

• The Hardest Part

• Trapped Between Life and Death
• Somehow We Survived
• A Helping Hand
• Arcane Cold War
