War within - How to unlock Shadowlands zones and flightmaster

Hi, during the Dragonflight expansion I switched characters. So a different character became my main, and now I would like to do some raids in the Shadowlands with this new main. But the only thing I can do is to get to Oribos, the city is basically empty, I can’t see the campaign, i don’t see any option to skip the quest like or anything. Does anybody have any idea what am I missing? It’s really annoying how they are keep adding zones where you need to do quests in order to fly inbetween them, and when you create an alt, then you are locked out of all the content

This is my main, I just forgot to change the character on the forum. So no it’s not because of the 16 levels. I already have full level

Heya,

For a max level character, the campaign skip should still be available. Usually this choice is triggered when you first get to Oribos through the intro quest, so maybe you need to be on that questline to skip the SL campaign?
See if “Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons” is available for you and do that until Oribos (you can skip pretty much all of it if you did it before). Maybe that will give you the option?

From what i remember the skips only become avail if you have done the quests at least on one of your characters. So to do the SL campaign with skips on alts then you need to have done them once already. Might have changed now but that is my undrstanding of it

Otherwise its dragging your characters through the introduction and then the oribos landing.

9.2 added zereth which superceeds all that came before but to get the skip you must have done it at least once.

I’m having the same issue. Wanted to start Shadowland Campaign to get to Zereth Mortis but nothing is showing up for me. And the ways that worked for people during Dragonflight (talking to Chromie) are not available anymore. Several people seem to face the same problem

I’m having exactly the same issue. I’m level 70 but never did the Shadowlands content on this character. The quest: “Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons” is not available anywhere. Highlord Darion Mograine is not located at Grommash hold in Orgrimmar. I have also been to Oribos and back via the portal (as was suggested elsewhere).

I actually managed to make a ticket about this issue (damn that was hard! Clearly that system is designed to prevent tickets being made). Alas the only response I got was a suggestion to clear my addons/cache/wtf folders. I tried it like a good boy but obviously that didn’t do anything.

For anyone stumbling upon this post now or in the future, or for the posters before me. I managed to solve the issue.
It does require the help of a friend or a second computer. You can create a level 10 character (even a trial account works) and use party-sync with that new character. Suddenly Highlord Darion appeared in Orgrimmar and I got to pick up the quest. Didn’t even have to do anything with the other character. I just went through the portal and started the rest of the questline.
Good luck everyone!
