Meanwhile…
“I think I’ll do a solo island expedition to check it out”
Arrive in boralus. Stand at the expedition map.
Look around.
How do I sign to a solo island expedition? Open up the expedition map. Nope, no solo expeditions.
Can’t even access a feature we were promised in 9.1.5 with ease, lmao. I have no idea where to even queue for it.
Don’t you just queue?
That doesn’t seem to be solo because it’s been minutes in queue.
I found it.
Talk to the guy behind the exploration table, he gives the Private Tour options. Literally looking at it right now in-game.
YOU WOT MATE?
What guy?
There’s supposed to be a guy there!
For Horde it’s a Zandalari guy that gives you the ‘‘Azerite for the Horde’’ quest! Should be an equivalent on alliance side. WHere did he go!? D:
EDIT: Flynn Fairwind should be the guy.
He’s standing here:
Unable to be interacted with.
Apparently you need to do this quest: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=47485/the-ashvane-trading-company
For him to show up for solo queue.
Holy… How convoluted can this be.
I did what I could! \o/
Having to do some questchain to get Flynn to appear behind the table 
Hope they fix that soon, cba to do it on alts.
Eh, it took like a minute to get there and then you just fly back but pretty stupid to put it behind a quest like this and no mention that you have to complete that quest before you can access it, lol.
I haven’t done anything on Horde on my hunter (the one I checked it on), but I think it’s because Captain Rezo’kun doesnt have any other quests tied with him.
Still dumb.
It didn’t work for me, probably due to faction change or something - but I had to do quite a long chain to get him to show up there.
Should try on alts then if its just a minute, still dumb though.
If you did the quest in BFA he’s in the right place.
I tried one a few weeks ago. I googled “wow How to solo Island Expeditions”. It provided the answer.
Did one island. I failed, didn’t do them during BFA so no real clue what I was supposed to do. I’ll read a guide sometime when I can be bothered.
You kill mobs, click on Azerite thingies. Kill the enemy team if you see them.
Basically that’s it.
Think I got around 6k azerite before th enemy team got the required 9k.
So there must be more efficient paths or clicky things to prioritise or something.
Maybe I just need to practise a few times. All I want are some pets and mounts and I’m in no rush.
You should be killing them to keep from being able to gather anything. They’re “cheating”, they get azerite faster than you do when they become active, so you have to kill them to stop them.
Hate when NPCs cheat. Like the Argent Tournament jousters who used to deliberately leave the jousting area and reset the fight just because they were losing…
