You are currently unable to start the Shadowlands expansion. Completing or skipping the Maw introduction does not matter, “Fatescribe Roh-Tahl” does not speak to you in order to choose which version of Shadowlands you wish to experience, making you unable to leave Oribos.
The quest that should start, “Arrival in the Shadowlands”, simply does not exist and is not given to the player upon entering Oribos from the Maw introduction, or the skip. Relogging, character unstuck, and anything else I could think of did not resolve the issue.
This means you are completely unable to farm the mounts if you do not already have a character with the expansion’s questline started.
Seems multiple people in general had the same issue. What’s going on here?
So I wanted to farm some Shadowlands content on my alt, I went to Org to accept the startup quest and then clicked the option to skip straight to oribos (I completed the entire campaign on my main). When it teleported me to Oribos I was left standing there with no quests to continue. Now normally it gives me the option right away to skip straight to the post campaign faction content, but on my monk it has nothing. No npc pop, no quests to accept. Even in the quest log it says to continue the campaign I need to go to the shadowlands. Yet I stand in Oribos with nothing. And it is in the stage that even most of the NPC’s aren’t present. I have tried porting back and forth, Ive tried relogging, completely restarting the PC and no change at all. No quest to delete and restart. I’m completely stuck.
I took “Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons” from Darion Mograine in Orgrimmar.
I clicked “skip introductory quests” when I talked to him.
I was teleported to Oribos. NPC guards are in battle stance but I can’t speak to anyone. Reset the quest script please.
Currently, I see no active npcs, no vendors, no quests in Oribox. I wish I could just cancel the problematic quest but I can’t because I have no quests for Oribos campaign. I think I supposed to get “Stranger in an Even Stranger Land” quest or “The Threads of Fate” one, but I didn’t get nothing. Not sure.
Fix the bug please.
Same happened to me. Missed SL completely and wanted to do it faster with all the rep bonus buffs. Did the maw intro skip, no quests after porting to Oribos. I checked it on 54 lvl alt and everything was ok. I guess something we did in TWW phases SL intro quests. I’ve also tried to party sync and did both skipping the maw intro and doing full maw starting chain but nothing helps.
Hello! I just started the shadowlands intro on my main, skipped the maw intro questline, was ported to Oribos but the quest ‘Stranger in an Even Stranger Land’ doesn’t pop. It’s auto accept quest and nothing happens. I’ve seen few players there who had the same issue. I’ve never did any SL quest on that character or any character on my account. I’ve checked if it works on an alt (54 lvl) and I got the quest on the alt. Tried doing both the maw intro skip and the maw intro questline with party sync and still the quest ‘Stranger in an Even Stranger Land’ doesn’t pop. Anyone can help?
Update: I was testing some stuff regarding this issue and found out that it’s bugged for my lvl 80 characters. As I mentioned before it worked fine on a lvl 54 alt. I created a lvl 10 allied race char today, got SL chromie timeline and got the quest 'Stranger in an Even Stranger Land’ normally. Everyone facing this issue report your findings here and report a bug from ingame menu, please!
same here. Decided to make a new toon yesterday and got it to 78 today. Decided to run SL for achieves and mounts for the anniversary and skipped the intro and went straight to Oribos. could only do a few quests and all the rest of the npcs to [Insider Trading] are gone but the first two. Also Im stuck @ 1/2 on the campaign. cant start arriving in SL. So Im soft locked in Oribos and cant go anywhere or further into SL. Wonder if this has to do with the rumor of them wanting to rotate SL into the next time walking event? Either way I cant explore content I sub to and paid for.
I tested it with several characters.
Whether you skip the Maw or not it doesn’t matter, quest Stranger in Even Stranger Land doesn’t start for characters level 70+. The only way to start Shadowland compain is to talk to Chromie and select Shadowlands timeline, only then quest pop-ups upon arrival to Oribos, which means your character must be below level 70 (and above level 50 for Threads of Fate).
Not a fix per say. But i managed to enter the Shadowlands regions with functional flightpaths. Go to Dornogal and use the Timewalking Portal to Bastion, then you can travel around as normal.
Any news? Fixes? I skiped to Oribus on my alt (Now my main) and im left hanging with no quest to continue, My priest has done the intro and is at the stage I have to pick a covenant
My now main how ever cant do anything at Oribus
Are there going to be any fixes for the reputations lost during pre-patch? We are 3+ month in and there is literally nothing done. I presonally lost almost all WoD exalted reputations.
So, in my case I wanted to run castle nathria on my alt, which was impossible since I could not get anything to work in Oribos after skipping the maw intro.
BUT: You can teleport to bastion via the timeways and take a flight to Revendreth (and all other zones as long as you have the flight points unlocked via the Warband function) so if you want to run raids/dungeons on alts in shadowlands you still can.
