This quest is so dumb.
"We need to find a way to go back to Draenor, talk to Oculeth to see if he can help."
And then you take the portal to Zandalar... right next to the portal to Ashran.

Comment by fabflippintastic

Chief Telemancer Oculeth can be found in the portal room in the Great Seal in Dazar'alor.

Questline for The Mag'har (available when Ready for War completed and exalted at The Honorbound)

You get Allied Races: Mag'har Orc and Mag'har Direwolf.

...that was used by Garrosh to travel to Draenor years ago.

Dude, it was 3 years ago. Year 31 (his escape) to Year 34 (present).

Timeline

Comment by Aerynsun8449

What, exactly, are these programmers on? What drug would entice them to have us port to Orgrimmar, talk to Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, then port to Zandalar to talk to Chief Telemancer Oculeth who then sends us to the Cavern of Time, VIA Orgrimmar to talk to Anachronos.

You are then sent to the Dark Portal on the quest Echo of Gul'dan. After defeating Echo of Gul'dan you're sent to fight Echo of Warlord Zaela at the Temple of the White Tiger Flight Bounds in Kun-lai Summit for the quest Echo of Warlord Zaela. A good place to stand (melee or ranged) for her fight is /way 69.36 44.53 Once you start the encounter, turn around so you're looking toward the entrance and Trial Master Rotun, it is the first pillar to left of the door. Toward the end of the fight the dragon's flames came close but never actually got to me. I never had to move an inch.

Then, finally, for Echo of Garrosh Hellscream you meet Anachronos in front of Orgrimmar so he can get you down into the depths. By finally, I mean that's the last of the running back and forth. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is up with this back and forth stuff?

For my fight with Echo of Garrosh Hellscream after starting the encounter, I moved back to the bottom of the ramp between the wooden posts. I had to move some but never got very far from the wooden posts at the bottom. As a discipline priest I only have Psychic Scream to interrupt his spins. So that only worked a couple of times as it has a 1 minute cool down. But, with my Power Word: Shield the spins did more pushing me around than damage. Standing at the bottom of the ramp I always missed the first iron spikes, the second one, however, would come close to the ramp and I had to move to doge it a couple of times. It seemed to pull me in towards it. I don't know personally, but I read that if you go too far up the ramp it resets the encounter, so just be aware. After defeating Echo of Garrosh Hellscream you port out of the encounter the same way you port out of a dungeon with the green dot on the mini map where you go back to where you met Anachronos.

You then go back to Dazar'alor and turn in that quest to Chief Telemancer Oculeth at the great Seal. Talk to Eitrigg to get the quest Restoring Old Bonds which actually has you talking to Chief Telemancer Oculeth (again with the back and forth thing) to send you to Draenor where you complete the rest of the Mag'har Orc scenerio quest chain.

I suppose the running around is good for the Lore. The dialog was interesting to read anyway.

Comment by Muratsuki

If at any time you leave the unlock scenario, speak with Chief Telemancer Oculeth in Dazar'alor to get back.

Comment by Rosenfeldt

Im currently unable to do the quest. I faction changed from Alliance to horde to skip the rep grind, and whenever i try to talk to Chief Telemancer Oculeth he disappears. Anyone have any clue as to what i could do? I have relogged many times. Turned all addons off.

Comment by kuska

This quest-chain is also known as the "take portal to get a 2 minute loading screen to do a 10 second thing just to go into another 2 minute loading screen portal to do another 10 second thing just to go into another 2 minute loading screen portal to do another 10 second thing just to go into another 2 minute loading screen portal" quest-chain.

Comment by Rofltusks1999

Ji Firepaw seems to start this quest in 8.2.5.

Comment by Socrates1

Wow, pretty wild to actually have Ji Firepaw doing something. I thought Blizzard just hated him and Aysa and wanted players to forget they existed.

Comment by NattheElf15

ok so I had to do the Echo of Gul'dan for the heart of Azeroth and i stepped away from the computer so i got booted from the instance. I accidently abandoned both the azeroth quest and the orc quest. I went back to where I needed to for the heart of az quest so i can get back into the instance but don't remember where i went for the orc quest to get to the spot where I went into the instance. Does this make sense? I am confused.

Comment by Turboduck01

so sylvannas already left the horde... i remember fighting gul'dan... but cant recall beating him, now i dont have the quest line..... helllppp

Comment by drksiodar

So completed the "Ready for war" achivement. am level 50, and standing in the Org Embassy. I have logged out and back in, exit the game and restart, even restarted the computer. no quest is being supplied. does anybody know why?

Comment by BlinkyDrakkin

So... Not sure if it's a bug or not, but, now that there's no rep requirement, it looks like this quest is available by completing either faction's Ready for War achievement so long as you have a level 50 horde character. I main Alliance and completed Ready for War as part of the process of getting Kul Tirans. I leveled a horde toon afterwards and was surprised to find this quest available.

Comment by Milagros

Make sure you save either your Hearthstone, Dalaran Hearthstone, Cloak of Coordination/Cloak of Coordination, or Baradin's Wardens Tabard for Echo of Garrosh Hellscream or you will be stuck there waiting for your hearthstones CD's for at least 5 minutes.

Comment by Wince5

If you are doing this at shadowlands without playing bfa you need to complete the horde intial questin that start from harbor by talking to princess and complete up to achi to get Telemancer to show up until you do it there is only Eitrigg in portal room. Hopefully this gets fixed later on.

Comment by MoistNSquishy

Anyone struggling to find the Quest to start this?
I was going mad trying to find it, then I went to Zandalari and picked up a that sent me to the Caverns of Time off the Elf near the Zandalari Portals.
This in turn ended up sending me after Gul'Dan, which is the 4th quest in the questline.
I hope this helps anyone who cannont find the starting quest in Ogrimmar.

Comment by Shac0le

I just made an account to write a comment for this mission,this mission is the biggest troll i have ever seen. I dont play with a Guild completly solo.

And i need to be in a Raid group to enter the Portal in Pandaria to finish the mission?XD

Comment by Frahaleah

Not sure if this is a bug or what, but I completed Ready for War on Alliance side, and not on Horde, yet for some reason I'm able to do this questline on my level 50 horde. No faction change or anything.

Any idea if it's intentional or a bug? To me personally, it looks like a bug, and a major one at that.

Comment by kalarnisx

I was trying to complete this quest on an ALT who had not quested in the BfA zones yet. If you arrive in the Hall of Ancient Paths in Dazar'alor and Chief Telemancer Oculeth is not there, go see Nathanos Blightcaller in the Port of Zandalar (/way 57 61) and he will give you Battle for Azeroth: Mission Statement. Return to Orgrimmar and enter Grommash Hold to begin a cut scene with Sylvanas Windrunner. Afterwards, meet the team in the Broken Tusk and accept The Stormwind Extraction. Skip the scenario and you will be taken directly back to the Port of Zandalar, where you can accept Welcome to Zuldazar, which is the beginning of the 3 quest storyline Welcome to Zandalar. Once completed (only took me about 10 minutes), return to the Hall of Ancient Paths and Oculeth will be waiting there.

Comment by Benporaken

After searching all over, I found this questline now seems to start with Chief Telemancer Oculeth in Zuldazar and the quest Caverns of Time. At least it did for me. Eitrigg in Ogrimmar didn't have the Vision of time quest.

Comment by mrbonesSTL

Just did a faction change, here's the way to do this if you've done the same:
1) Delete this quest, & do the Mission Statement BFA quest, following the below instructions:

2) Go to Echo Isle (take FP from Org to as close as possible) & run to the dock that has the boat to take you to the Port of Zandalar
3) Once there, run up a little bit & speak to Nathanos Blightcaller & pick up his quest
4) Go back to Org, you can now continue the quest chain

Comment by Zawmer

Is this supposed to be solo-able? I was excited to start up a Mag'har Orc after completing the Ready for War series, but then I got directed to this quest where I can't make significant progress on this elite mob before it kills me. Am I missing something? Any advice? Is this a sequence of similar too-hard-for-me quests?

Comment by Sorotia

I'm totally lost...I have 50+ Horde characters, I've already unlocked Zandalari and I'm totally lost. I have completed the qualifications for Maghar and Vulpera..I go to Ji and I see a grey exclamation point over his head. I've checked with Oculeth and Anachronos and neither have anything for me.

Comment by Ramullah

Latest update as of 28/01/2023.
Revered only required with Honorbound.
Look for Ji Firepaw who now gives the quest and not Eitrigg.

Comment by Moonlghtknght

In order to start BfA PROPERLY and get this quest to appear, you need to start the BfA starter quests, which begin with Battle For Azeroth: Mission Statement which is collected from an NPC right outside of Grommash Hold next to the Warboard.

Foillow the questline that results and when you get to Dazar'alor, the quest giver you need will appear in the portal room, once you've completed enough of the quests.

Comment by Povelitel

Starting from patch 10.1.5, all restrictions for unlocking Allied Races have been removed, with the exception of a level requirement.
All Allied Races can now be unlocked once you have a level 40 character on your account (was level 50). Blue post.

Comment by publicmail24

If you are doing this at Dragonflight without playing BFA you need to complete the Horde initial quest you can take from Warchief's Herald which stands next to Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar.

The NPC is at following coordinates:
/way #85 49.4 76.7 Warchief's Command Board

Comment by AllBeardNoName

If you're trying to do this after Dragonflight 10.1.7 and you didn't play BFA, when you got to the spot to turn in the quest Chief Telemance Oculeth will not be there. You need to go back to Orgrimar and get the quest to start BFA, the guy for the quest is standing next to the bounty board.

Once you have that quest you will do a scenario where you break into Stormwind and free Princess Talanji and Zul.

Once you finish that quest you will get a quest to walk with her up to meet her father. You will be met halfway with another quest where you ride a mount up to the throne.

Once you complete this quest you will have a quest Speaker of the Horde this will give you a tour of the area and summon the horde. During this quest Chief Telemance Oculeth will be summoned and once you turn it in he will be there for you to continue with the quest line.

Comment by Kosmix

If you are having trouble starting the quest, try going to Zuldazar. Inside the portal room, talk to Chief Telemancer Oculeth. He doesn't offer any quest, but he will have that chat option. It says "I am ready to go to Draenor", this will start the scenario.

Vision of Time

Meet with Chief Telemancer Oculeth in Zuldazar.

Description

You wish to hear how the Mag'har orcs joined the Horde? It may be one of the strangest ways we gained an ally! It all began with a plan from Eitrigg. He had a fragment of the Vision of Time that Garrosh Hellscream used to travel to Draenor. Chief Telemancer Oculeth believed there would be a way to go back to Draenor and get the Mag'har orcs to join the Horde. This tale begins with a visit to Oculeth in Zuldazar...
