During SL, my 58 alts selected a covenant, but then did nothing. DF is much better and these alts are 70, but I can’t do the maw etc as the game expects me to recruit the 4 covenants etc.
Level 70 should really be able to switch to the threads of fates/skips.
i’m not sure why you’re having this issue
but at level 60+ you should get the option to do the skips
You can also skip the maw and you’ll be presented with the option to select the threads of fate once you reach Oribos.
Did you progress deep into the campaign while leveling ?
Did you complete the SL leveling campaign in its entirety at least once? Doing so is required to skip it on subsequent characters, though as mentioned the requirement has been raised to level 60 in DF.
i suggest you go and talk to specific NPCs
try maybe they offer the skips
first i’d go to Stormwind/Org and see if the death knights who offer the intro quest are there and have the skip option available
Second i’d go to Oribos, behind the map table where the covenant emissaries are
try to speak with the guy standing in the middle or Bolvar see if they offer any skips
that surely sucks if you have to redo the whole campaign
