Garrison Campaign Storyline

Bashiok

I FINALLY found the reason why I was not getting any campaign quests. After days of trying to figure out why and not being able to find a solution on the forums a light bulb appeared over my head lol.
I went to all of the garrison campaign quest areas and looked for yellow exclamation points and found one on Darktide Roost which lead to the completion of the garrison campaign quest . I was questing there at some point not realizing that it was part of a campaign quest and had stopped doing them in the middle of a quest chain.
After completion I hearthed back to my garrison and found a NEW garrison campaign quest. YAY
I would suggest that anyone having this issue to go looking like I did. Hopefully you'll find the missing link. :D
Happy Hunting!

weekly campaign

Bashiok, Can you let us know whats being done about the Garrison campaign involving Orlana Strongbow in the spirit realm in frostfire? There are multiple threads about this and it seems a lot of people are stuck on this quest. The problem is that you complete one quest and the NPC (Orlana) is no where to be found to start the next part of the quest (Soulgrinder Survivor). I have a current ticket open for this and 2 of the GM's replied with "Go look at wowhead". This causes a major issue because you cannot finish the campaign and you also cannot get any new missions. I have been stuck like this for over 2 weeks. Others have been stuck for over a month now,

Comment by lovelywazA "hidden" fix.

Double trapping for barn work orders doesn't work anymore. I could see 2 set of npcs spawn when trapped but I got only one cage every time.

Can someone else please confirm this?Comment by ZorumanRom'ogg Bonecrusher's Skullcracker ability should now correctly deal damage to Angered Earth elementals, allowing the achievement Crushing Bones and Cracking Skulls to be completed.Comment by theultimateendA "hidden" fix.

Can someone else please confirm this?Comment by VermundThe first 8 weeks offer quests somewhat randomly, and then the four after those are a set story progression, to be continued in future patch releases.Comment by OreoLoverA "hidden" fix.

Can someone else please confirm this?Confirmed.I hope this isn't the case because the drop rate on bloods is only really acceptable because of the double trapping.Comment by Glodwran468I actually did "A Strike at the Heart" today, so I only have "Primal Fury" left. And, let me tell you, it really is a Strike at your Heart. :'(Comment by takayamaThose two are currently in the game still. I have completed "A strike at the heart" and only have "Primal Fury" left to do next week. I think what he meant by that was: You get garrison missions in a random order until the last 2, which are in a set order to show a story.

Interested to see what happens to me in two weeks when there aren't anymore Garrison Weekly quests until 6.1Comment by KarenzaI hope this isn't the case because the drop rate on bloods is only really acceptable because of the double trapping.Comment by theultimateendDrop rate isn't affected by this, and I'm surprised some extra trapping time or the push to group up would make anything "unacceptable."I hope this isn't the case because the drop rate on bloods is only really acceptable because of the double trapping.Comment by theultimateendThe Follower Retraining Certificate now stacks to twenty. I've only seen one of these so far and I have about 6 garrisons in progress over my alts. Of course it didn't go to my most advanced garrison where I might have used it.
Maybe the RNG goddess doesn't like me.Comment by 921790Bashiok's comments on Garrison Campaign quests seem to be accurate. I got stuck on Garrison Campaign: Crows In The Field. I turned Ambushing the Enemy in to Thisalee Crow at Skysea point, and there was nothing else, but she and Choluna would say something about getting Bladefury's orders before flying out. I started scouring the area, even going back to the horde camp, and found Bladefury's Orders waiting to be picked up.Comment by OreoLover"Hey guys! I bet if I act like a jerk online that'll make me totes cool!"

You don't get it, that's fine. But really, there is no benefit from being a jerk.Comment by theultimateend"Hey guys! I bet if I act like a jerk online that'll make me totes cool!"

SOOO happy!Comment by TotallyNotMikeyCrushing Bones and Cracking Skulls is also completable, which means mount collectors can go back and finish Glory of the Cataclysm Hero for Reins of the Volcanic Stone Drake.Comment by InterestUnholy
