Appears to be bugged in 4.0.3a. Vesprystus offers no chat options to new players with this quest and the flight point to Lor'danel does not appear. Takes one or two fatigue deaths to swim across...

Quest was not offered to me. After I turned in The Howling Oak The Howling Oak Greymane had nothing more to say to me.

It may have been because I picked up Hero's Call: Darkshore! from the board after I got off the boat from Gilneas and before I spoke to Greymane.

If you pick up the quest Hero's Call: Darkshore! outside Darnassus, you can't get Breaking Waves of Change. Just abandon Hero's Call: Darkshore! and Genn Greymane will offer the quest to you.

Working as of today. Portal back from Darnassus to Rut'theran Village and take a standard Hippogryph ride to Lor'danel.

Comment by Bobbywich

I was a little confused by this quest, but you need to talk to the flight master Vesprystus in Rut'theran Village and take the flight to Lor'danel. He won't have a question mark over his head, which was confusing me (I thought he would). Once you finish the flight, talk to Dentaria Silverglade to complete.

For this quest you simply walk through the pink portal that ports you outside of Darn. then to your left take the flight path to Lor'danel. There should be a question mark. turn in.

I took and completed Hero's Call: Darkshore! and Genn Greymane will not offer me the quest, what can I do so I get offered this quest?

Comment by MaxTheDragon

This quest is a Breadcrumb quest.

Breadcrumb quests are quests that, even though you did not complete them and they were available at some point, have become unavailable permanently after certain conditions were met. If this happens to you, and you're a completionist, this quest can be marked as excluded in the Wowhead quest tracker if you are no longer able to complete it.

This quest becomes unavailable permanently, if either of the following conditions are met:

Hero's Call: Darkshore! is completed.
This is a hero's call quest leading to this zone. You can only complete this quest, or the hero's call quest, not both. Completing the hero's call quest will therefore make this quest unavailable.
Breaking Waves of Change is completed.
This is a zone introductory quest leading to this zone. You can only complete this quest, or the zone introductory quest, not both. Completing the zone introductory quest will therefore make this quest unavailable.
The Last Wave of Survivors is completed.
This is one of the quests available in the quest hub that this quest points to, and is also considered a follow-up to this quest. Completing this quest will make all zone introductory quests leading to this npc, including this one, unavailable.

Examples of Breadcrumb quests and conditions making them unavailable:

Hero's call quests.
They become unavailable if your character's level is too high, and the hero's call board sends you to a different npc/zone.
Zone introductory quests.
This also includes hero's call quests. These quests are often started in a certain lower level zone, and they direct you to the next zone. If there are several of these, including the hero's call, directing you to the same zone/npc, completing one will mean the others become unavailable.
Quest hub introductory quests.
These are quests that direct you to the next quest hub in a zone. If you've already completed the quests in that quest hub, the quest directing you to it may become unavailable.
Follow-up quests.
These are uncommon, but still appear in older zones that have not been changed much in recent expansions. Sometimes a follow-up quest of quest X is available before you complete quest X. If you complete that follow-up quest and go back to the quest X giver, you may encounter the error 'You do not meet the requirements for that quest', leaving you unable to start it or turn it in.

Note: A quest being unavailable does not necessarily mean it's unavailable permanently. If you have not met the aforementioned conditions, and the quest is still unavailable, then you may have missed certain required quests that precede this one, or you do not meet the requirements in some other way. Always verify this before excluding this quest.

Likely a reference to Kaskade's mix "Waves of Change" (featuring Samantha James), an exert from his Dance.Love mix.

As someone who started out playing Alliance, then switched to HORD-4-LYF, then created one alt for Ally just to see what happened in Cata, I got INCREDIBLY confused when I hopped through the teleporter gazebo thing and my old pal Vesprystus wasn't out on his little walkway at the far side of the island--in fact, that whole side of the island was mostly underwater. So I wandered about for a few minutes, then suddenly remembered the cataclysm mucking with things. The flight master is now just to the left of the teleporter, if you are coming from Darnassus proper.

Comment by Himela

This quest was really frustrating. Warning: Do NOT go searching for a tree like I did. Just go to the flight master and fly directly to Lor'danel. I don't know why the quests talks about a tree that confused me a lot.

Comment by Taneth

Did this quest today, and in the text Genn mentions meeting with King Anduin, instead of King Varian. At the time of writing Varian is still king of course.

Comment by EmJii

As of Patch 7.3.5 you can do two breadcrumb quests that lead you to Darkshore.

You have to keep the order to be able to do both.

1.Breaking Waves of Change (for every alliance race) or Breaking Waves of Change (for Worgen only)

2.Hero's Call: Darkshore! (can be found on every Hero's Call board)

Links

Breaking Waves of Change

Speak to Vesprystus in Rut'theran Village to secure a ride to Lor'danel.

Description

It seems you have your first charge. You must travel back down to Rut'theran Village, where we first arrived, and speak to Vesprystus to secure a ride to Lor'danel.

Once in Lor'danel, aid the night elves in any way that you are able. I am trusting you to treat them with the reverence that they deserve in light of all that they have done for us.

I must travel to the distant city of Stormwind to meet with King Anduin. I hope to see your face again very soon, <name>. Until then, a fond farewell.
