Comment by Swampdryw

"Parked"? Am I the only one annoyed that NPCs with nautical experience are saying the ship is "parked", surely they mean "berthed" or "moored", it's a ship, not a car.

Comment by bondmykebond

I had a character who appeared stuck on the War Campaign and could not use the Mission Table or select a research option from Alleria. What I didn't realize was I had to click on The War Cache quest from my Quest List and complete it (once I had sent myself War Resources from another character). That then advanced the quest line to Time for War, and all proceeded as usual.

There is no quest interaction with an NPC to complete The War Cache; you can only complete it from your Quest List. Hope that helps someone else.

Comment by Tarill

I have completed every step above except "The War Campaign". It is not available on the boat? Any thoughts? I am friendly or higher with all needed factions as well.

Comment by ssquared

My friend and I could use some help too. Now that we can't really put forward tickets in game, I tried the forums but no one replied. I was able to pick up this quest and the corresponding quests no problem, but Halford Wyrmbane doesn't even show up for her on the ship. I had her drop all her quests and pick everything up again, and he's still not there. This is her first toon on this server so she's only level 29 (no level 50's) I have 5 50's and one 60 so I've done this before. It shows up fine for me, but nothing for her. HELP?

Comment by NikNovi

I have finished all three the BfA storylines and stared War Campaign on my main character years ago.
With alts, I didn't want to take the quest when I was doing the BfA intro, as I have mostly almost full quest log.

But now, I cannot take this quest on two characters - both are already level 50.
Genn Greymane is missing and Cyrus only gives What You May Regret quest.
I also tried to go and do this What You May Regret, as it involves Genn Greymane as well, but there at the Proudmore Keep, Genn still doesn't offer the The War Campaign quest.

But I could take the The War Campaign quest without problem on an alt which is not level 50 yet.

Comment by Hyasen

Figuring out how to get this quest on an alt after skipping the intro is one of the most frustrating moments I've ever had playing this game. Blizzard is usually good about breadcrumbs and unlocking things like this, but not this time.

I am not sure what's needed before this point, but the quest that finally gave me the chain to get here was Get Your Bearings

Hope this helps someone down the line!

Comment by Bosobos

Genn Greymane disappeared for me after hitting 50 and/or completing Loremaster of Kul Tiras (9.2.5).

The War Cache was available instead on the ship.

When starting What You May Regret from Cyrus Crestfall Genn appeared in Harbormaster's Office offering The War Campaign again, after completing A Local Guide.

Comment by Kamo

For all those like me who need to do the war campaign and can't find a way to continue after completing the achievement A United Nation and ThePride of Kul Tiras, it is necessary that they accept all the missions given by Taelia who is in Boralus with Cyrus.

Then Genn will give you The War Campaign quest to continue.

Comment by Maritan

I had leveled a Timerunner mage to 70 and when MoP timerunning ended I wanted to use this toon to help run the Underrot for mount drop, but found I could not get my Alliance toon to Zandalar. After loads of Wowhead searching I finally found a solution...

In Stormwind next to the Warboard in the Trade District I found the Hero's Herald who gave me the quest "Battle for Azeroth: Tides of War". That sent me to the Keep to observe a war council, then on to meet Jaina in Stormwind Harbor (who offered me a skip option, which I took). Next stop was Boralus Harbor, where Taelia was waiting with "Get Your Bearings". That was followed by "The Old Knight", then "Sanctum of the Sages", and finally "A Nation Divided". Once I turned that in Halford Wyrmbane offered the Zandalar Campaign and I was off to Nazmir to hunt the elusive Underrot Crawg. Good luck!

Comment by Brad1987

AS OF 2024: (For Alliance)
To get to Zandalar and do not have this quest available on your ship but still want to follow the breadcrumbs in the "right" way.
- approx time to complete: 5 minutes

Get to level 10 and then;
1. Talk to the NPC next to your Hero's Calling boards to find the quest to start the BFA Campaign: Tide's of War.
2. After meeting the council and spending countless minutes in RP you'll need to meet Jaina at the docks.
3. Talk to Jaina at the docks and let her know you've heard this all before and skip the intro.
4. TURN ON LOW LEVEL QUESTS and talk to Taila, she should be right in front of you on the dock, and follow the quests:

Get Your Bearings (from Taila)
The Old Knight (from Taila)
Sanctum of Sages (from Taila)
Ferry Pass (From Cyrus Crestfall)
>>When you get to A Nation Divided you can abandon the quest and head to your ship just outside to talk to Halford Wyrmbane and accept the quest The Zandalar Campaign.

5. Choose your first zone to set up a foothold (on the war table) - the hand in will popup in your quest log, giving you a new quest from Halford called " Foothold".
6. Talk to Halford to start off the RP where he explains his battle plans (if you don't hear anything or can't see the dialogue do not fear, it only lasts about a minute.
7. Talk to the Ship Captain Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth and set sail (at the rear of the ship just up the stairs) and hand in the quest to Brigadier Thom just inland of the beach.

Congrats, you can now come back to the ship captain whenever you want to jump over to Zuldazar. Hooray!

Need to get back to Boralus?:
8. Head over to Daria Smithson at 40.4 71.0, and ask her to take you back to Boralus.

Hopefully this saves you from time wasted googling. :)

- Edit1: Spelling.
- Edit 2: Added in port back to Boralus.
