I don’t know, but Perplrxity AI says:


This is a known bug with the quest “Return to the Veiled Market” in patch 11.2 where players are being yanked back to Dornogal mid‑quest and then can’t re‑pick it or finish it for the cloak reward.

What is going on

Some players are getting auto‑teleported out of K’aresh / Tazavesh (often by the big return portal or a phasing issue) while still on “Return to the Veiled Market,” which can leave the quest in a completed-or-in-progress state with no NPC in either K’aresh or Dornogal to turn in or re‑start it. Blizzard has acknowledged similar access and phasing issues around “A Shadowy Invitation” and the K’aresh campaign, so this appears to be part of the same set of problems rather than you doing anything wrong.

Things you can try yourself

Try these in order (on the affected character):

  • Abandon and re‑pick: Check your quest log for “Return to the Veiled Market” and “A Shadowy Invitation”; if either is still there, abandon it and then open the Adventure Guide / Suggested Content to see if “A Shadowy Invitation” or the K’aresh campaign pops back up.

​* ​

  • Revisit portal locations:

  • In Dornogal, go to the Foundation Halls area where the K’aresh portal is supposed to be once you’ve done the intro; see if the portal or quest NPC has reappeared.

  • In Tazavesh, when/if you can get back in, check the entry area for the large unlabeled portal that sends you to Dornogal and any NPCs around it who might offer or accept the quest.

  • UI / phasing reset: Fully exit the game, delete or rename your Cache, and disable all addons temporarily, then log back in and recheck both Dornogal and K’aresh portal hubs; sometimes the game “forgets” a phase flag and this forces it to reload.

If it’s still bugged

If none of the above restores the quest, you are almost certainly stuck in a bugged state and will need GM help. The current community recommendation for this exact problem is:

  • Submit an in‑game ticket under “Stuck on quest” or “Quest problem” and describe that “Return to the Veiled Market” auto‑completed or disappeared after teleporting you back to Dornogal, leaving you unable to get the cloak reward.

  • Mention that you started from “A Shadowy Invitation” via Suggested Content and were teleported out of K’aresh while still on the follow‑up, and now no NPC exists to reset or re‑offer it; GMs can usually either re‑flag the quest chain or mail / grant the quest reward manually.

While you wait

Until support fixes the flag on that character, you can still:

  • Progress other K’aresh / War Within content if available on that character or an alt that has completed the main campaign, since access to K’aresh and its portal network is tied to campaign progress and account‑wide flags.

  • Keep an eye on hotfix notes and the Bug Report forums, since Blizzard often pushes quick hotfixes for blocking quest bugs like this, sometimes automatically re‑granting the affected quest or rewards.

If you share your region (EU/US) and character type (fresh 80, alt that skipped campaign, etc.), more tailored steps can be suggested for where to stand and what to check in Dornogal for the portal and NPCs.


Region EU. Character fresh 80

On an EU, fresh 80 that just started the 11.2 chain, the behavior you described is not intended and you are almost certainly stuck in a bugged campaign state rather than missing a normal step.

What you can still double‑check

Since you are on a fresh 80 (not boosted and with no prior 11.2 progress on that character), the game should treat this as your first proper run of the K’aresh / Tazavesh intro. Try these quick checks anyway:

  • Open your quest log and look for “Return to the Veiled Market” or “A Shadowy Invitation”; if either still appears, abandon it once, then reopen Suggested Content / Adventure Guide and see if the K’aresh campaign offer reappears.

  • In Dornogal, go back to the Foundation level area where the K’aresh / Tazavesh portal is normally established during the early 11.2 chain and confirm whether any quest markers or interactable portals are visible after a relog and a full UI reload (disabling addons temporarily).

If none of that brings back the quest or the portal, you are in the situation where the quest is flagged as taken/completed but the NPC and portal are gone, which matches current reports.

Why this likely needs support

EU players have reported that “Return to the Veiled Market” can soft‑break if they are teleported or log out during it, leaving no portal and no way to restart, even when following the normal steps. In those cases, only a GM has been able to fix the flags or grant the missing reward, because normal abandon/re‑accept behavior no longer works.

What to write in your ticket

On EU, use the in‑game Help menu → “Submit a ticket” under Quests and Problems, and be very specific:

  • State that on a fresh level 80, you accepted “A Shadowy Invitation” from Suggested Content, went to K’aresh, completed the follow‑up “Return to the Veiled Market,” but your character was teleported back to Dornogal before you could finish/turn in the quest.

​* ​

  • Explain that now there is no NPC in K’aresh or Dornogal to re‑offer or complete “Return to the Veiled Market,” and you cannot obtain the cloak reward tied to this quest.

  • Ask them either to:

  • Reset the K’aresh / “Return to the Veiled Market” campaign step on that character, or

  • Directly grant the cloak reward if they cannot reset the chain.

While you wait

Until support fixes the quest state, there is unfortunately no reliable player‑side workaround that restores that specific cloak on a first‑time, fresh 80 in EU; all reported self‑fixes require abandoning and retaking a quest you no longer have access to. You can still level, do other War Within content, and run dungeons, but that cloak will remain blocked on that character until a GM or a future hotfix corrects the flag.
