work or no?

Comment by Magkor

Anyone know how to start this or is it even available at this time? I am stuck at this part.

Comment by Chalice

will be out on April 4th, so don't need to hurry

Comment by Ghnutoc

For those who wonder, it starts tomorrow, 5th April, in EU Servers.

Comment by Farelf

Does anyone know what the icon looks like when looking at the maps?

Comment by gdawson

If you complete the scenario before you pick up the quest, you won't get credit.

Comment by woofpuppy

Look for the green swirly icon any where on the Broken Isles map. That's the invasion point.

Comment by ConjuredBiscuit

Is this a daily quest?

Comment by JNasty

Legion Assaults will last 6 hours and can be seen from the Broken Isles map. Once they are active, special world quests will appear in the zone undergoing an assault. As you enter the assaulted zone (see Defender of the Broken Isles for options), you will receive a quest named "Assault on " (e.g. Assault on Azsuna). Complete the quest line associated with a zone experiencing a Legion Assault, which will end with a scenario quest that follows the naming scheme "Battle for " (e.g. Battle for Azsuna). Once the scenario quest, regardless of which zone, is turned in, Defending Broken Isles will be marked as complete. You can then return to Maiev Shadowsong at Deliverance Point in Broken Shore to turn in this quest.

It's now looking like there will be 4 invasions every 3 days, at differing times throughout the days.

Comment by Ubelogin

This quest objective is to defeat the invasion of any Legion zone.

Comment by Kronatan

finished 4 points of invasion. And didn't get credit to this quest. Same with achievement - no credit :/.

Comment by Covich

Well Blizz dont make things easy. I have done the first invasion points at Val Sharah and still the quest is not completed I have done call to battle at Broken shore but still the quest Defending Broken Isles is not completed. Maybe its me just being dumb but I dont get it.

Comment by BorDeWolf

To get this stuff done you travel to the map/area were the invasion is going on.
There you need to do 4 world quests with the invasion logo on it. (you will see what I mean in the map)
After that you get a follow up to talk to some NPC and he/she gives you a new quest.
Click on the same NPC to get send of to the new quest area.
After that you will get in to a scenario to finish of this quest.

Comment by piquantpepita

This is a one-time quest that should be picked up before starting an invasion. Quest completion is rewarded for clearing all three invasion phases as well as all of the invasion world quests in a zone.

Comment by vdenn66576

It's a bit confusing but after you do 4 of the assaults you get a message to go to see jarod shadowsong in black rook hold and he starts all the senarios you need to do to finish the quest you got on the broken shore.

Comment by Nukklez52

2 days in a row now ... Go to the zone with legion assault going on yet when I get to the zone there are no legion icons to be seen on the zone map .... Have disabled all adons an deleted WTF an cache

Comment by Mightytoro

Very confusing.
I took this quest. I saw there was an invasion in Stormheim, so, I went and did all of the legion invasion world quests in Stormheim (the ones with the green thing on them.)
Nothing happened.
Went back to Broken Shore and abandoned the quest, took it up again, now I guess I have to wait until tommorow until I can do it, but what if it bugs again?

Comment by warp9pnt9

The game's NPC keeps offering the quest, but there's nothing to do. If this was supposed to be completed during the initial scenario, it was virtually impossible to avoid completing scenario before doing this. Now I neither get credit nor do I get this quest to go away.

Comment by Preheet

Just to clear things up, (for those wondering why you didn't get credit towards the quest)

1 - You must complete 4 world quests within the invasion zone
2 - Once you complete them, you will get a talking-head pop-up that tells you to meet X person at X place (for me in was to meet Jarod Shadowsong at Black Rook Hold)
3 - Go to the location on your map (marked as a quest) and start the scenario/quest chain
4 - Voila, congrats!

Comment by Casn

Interesting fact: while this quest does not appear to be repeatable at all, it seems to give credit to "daily quests completed" achievement.
There might be several reasons for that, bugs included, so foro now it's nothing more than "interesting fact".

Comment by JezusKraz

I can't finish this quest in 7.2.5 (Picked up in 7.2)

Comment by Shananageins

when you don't get credit for the quest/achievement but you @#$%ing did it. :')

Comment by virgo02

Ok, this is for those of you like myself that were confused after completing the 4 assaults in the Quest "Defending Broken Isles". You do not get the achievement after completing the 4 assaults. You have to complete every assault on the map and then you get into a scenario to complete the achievement! Hope this helps :)

Comment by nekodojo

If you are looking for where to complete this on Broken Shore, it's not there. You have to wait for the next invasion and go where the invasion is. (Broken Shore = zone where you pick up and turn in; Broken Isles = the whole map of this continent). Make sure you get the pop-up quest for 0/4 invasion points defeated, then you will be on the right track.

Comment by Noctula

On the interwebs you can find us/eu/ocean realm timers for the next invasion. See: Removed(##RESPBREAK##)272##DELIM##Uchur##DELIM##The link has been removed for users' safety as the site is no longer available. https://wow.gameinfo.io/invasions

Comment by Wizairde

If you are playing catch up on Breaching the Tomb for your class mounts and turn in the 100 legion fall supplies late. You will need to exit and reopen WoW to get Maiev to cough up this quest. (If it doesn't appear for you.)

Comment by CCwow

For those who wonder. Yes this quest is part of the requirement for the Class Mount.

Important: If you don't see any quest after handing back this one, it means you must do your Class and Order hall quests. (Unlocking followers mainly)
Once you've done the last one offering you A Glorious Campaign you'll be able to continue the quests for Breaching the Tomb
(If you don't know if you've done that quest, it's the one rewarding not only the achievement, but offering 5k Order ressources and the Order Hall Class Chest gear)

Comment by Demious74

I did exactly as described and the achievement didnt trigger. Anyone any idea why this can be?

Comment by variationisenemy

This is stupid. I've completed all Legion invasions on an alt & it has yet to offer me another quest or to complete what I have. Blizzard should be able to have something work right after 10 years of trying.

Comment by l337neteng

Disable HideTalkingHead or other addon to finish this.

Comment by Celebriian

I just completed this on my Prot Pally, and like many, many others commented here, I felt like there was a bug in this quest (my significant other endured much profanity from me, lol).

At first, I thought the quest took place on the Broken Shore (island), as all the green skulls were there. I went, I killed, nothing. The quest would not complete. I went to a location where the green ship was hovering and killed tons of demons there. Still nothing. That's when I came here to read through comments saying that I had to complete this on Broken Isles (meaning the areas of Stormheim, Highmountain, Val'Sharah, Aszuna, and Suramar), not the Broken Shore (island). I really want thank @Noctula, the person who shared the website for Invasion timers. That helped a lot!

Still, I completed all 4 of the Legion Invasions required of me since the invasions began, and *this* quest would still not complete.
But Odyn (since I was in Stormheim) popped up on my screen and told me to go to Shield's Rest to divert the invasion there once I completed the last of the 4 invasions required.
Hrmph. I didn't believe that his request was part of this completion, so instead I went and completed the other 2 invasion points left on my map, thinking that this quest may still yet complete. Yay for more nethershards and Legionfall supplies, but nope...quest did not complete. After completing those last 2, and being out of Legion Invasion points to go to, Odyn popped up again on my screen, again telling me to go to Shield's Rest. Okaaaaay.....fine (sigh).

When I got there, Valthyr (the blue storm dragon) was waiting for me to turn the quest in, but immediately had the next quest in line waiting for me (still, THIS quest was not completed at this point). I complied and rode his back dealing his lightning to legion enemies, but with no progress bar. You just deal damage to the legion armies. All of a sudden it completed, and I was brought before Odyn to complete a 3-person scenario (which was straight-forward and easy) that took place outside first, killing mobs at portal locations indicated on your mini-map, then again inside what looked like a Fel Forge.

Once that scenario completed, THIS quest then also completed (finally). By the way, the turn-in for this quest is a Deliverance Point on Broken Shore (island), not your class order hall.

Point of my reply is to let others know that just because you do the Legion Invasions on Broken Isles for this quest to complete does not complete it. Following up with the person (in my case Odyn in Stormheim) popping up on your screen after the Legion Invasions and then doing the scenario does.

Be prepared (pun intended) to spend about 1+ hours or so if you do not yet have Legion Flying. Hope this helps everyone running into this quest dealing with the same confusion I had.

Comment by Ozzayel

This quest didn't show up for me after doing Vengeance Point, can anyone help? Not sure what to do and I can't find any suggestions anywhere...

Comment by LoneStar2911

Legionfall Campaign:

***Note: It is recommended to work on the treasure finding quests the goblins south-west of Deliverance Point give you, in order for you to have eight world quests available when it comes time to complete them for step 11. The goblin's last quest isn't available until the following day/reset. Their final quest opens up the world quest Treasure Master Iks'reeged.

1. Assault on the Broken Shore (Intro Scenario)

2. Legionfall Supplies (Collect 100 order resources)

3. Aalgen Point (Visit flightplan)

4. Vengeance Point (Visit flightplan)

5. Begin Construction (Use construction table to donate Legionfall War Supplies to the construction of a building)

6. Altar of the Aegis (NOT REQUIRED!) (Accepting the quest will cause the NPCs to run away. Relogging will cause them to reappear)

7. Defending Broken Isles (Defeat a Legion invasion in the Broken Isles). If one is not available, it is recommended to continue on your class hall questline if it hasn't been completed yet. There will not be a follow-up quest to Defending Broken Isles unless you have completed your class hall campaign.

8. Champions of Legionfall (Return to your class order hall and recruit a new champion)

9. Shard Times (Collect 2500 Nethershards to give to Khadgar)

10. Mark of the Sentinax (Collect 50 Marks of the Sentinax)

11. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy (Complete 8 world quests on the Broken Shore)

12. Intolerable Infestation (Slay 50 demons in Faronaar or Felsoul Hold)

13. Relieved of Their Valuables (Find 3 Hidden Wyrmtongue Caches on the Broken Shore)

14. Take Out The Head... (Slay 3 Rare Elites on the Broken Shore)

15. Championing Our Cause (Successfully complete a Legionfall mission at your Class Order Hall) (The mission can be put in before ever accepting this quest, but do not complete/accept the rewards from the mission before accepting this quest in order to get quest credit.)

16. Strike Them Down (Slay 100 demons on the Broken Shore)

The Legionfall Campaign is then complete, and you should receive a quest from an NPC at Deliverance Point to start your class mount questline.

----The Deceiver's Downfall (Not mandatory!)
----Pillars of Creation (Not mandatory!)

The two quests listed above are definitely not required for the Legionfall Campaign (or to get your class mount).

Comment by MichaelPriebe

Complete the quests with the person you turn the assault world quest in to, they will do a scenario which will complete this quest. Simply turning in the assault world quest does not trigger it.

Comment by UltimateBrent

If like me you're going back and doing this as a 120, this was the first quest in the Breaching the Tomb chain that required turning on the markers for low-level quests.

Comment by Elemmaciltur

Make sure you actually complete all 4 quests in the same zone in order to actually be able to turn it in. I am doing this now during bfa (8.*.*) and I went to do 3 quests in Aszuna with still 3 hours left to the assault, however there were no other Legion quests after that. I logged on today thinking that I can do one more quest where ever it spawns and will be able to turn it in. Dead wrong: I logged on with the Assault going on in Highmountain, but with only 10 minutes left and there was only one quest left. Did that, but it did not count together towards my 3 quests in Aszuna.

So now I have to wait at least 6 hours for the new Assault to spawn and hope that there will be more than 3 quests in that area.

Comment by RogerWilcoxx

Currently, this quest is nearly impossible to complete (or I should say, need heavy time investment). The only people you can find doing the invasion world quests are either lvl98-109 alts or those who are on their way to the class mounts. And yet, despite the heavy population of those low level alts, they CAN'T queue for the final scnarios.
The most funniest thing of all is that although we lvl120s can solo those scenatios with ease, blizzard DIDN'T let us to queue them alone. We still need to find at least 3 people to queue them, which is an extremely stupid design.
Now I am queuing for the scenario until the end of the invasion but still no one pops out. However, my server isn't a low-pop server. There are always raid-like world pvps going on. This means that these legacy content should be able to be queued solo once new expansion comes out, as it is very rare for people to come back for them as time passes, even on high-pop servers.
Finally, I wish blizzard can have a notice on this message and hope they can fix this so our class mount farming will be smoother than ever.

From a hard core wow fan

Comment by LaffeeTaffeeGG

Can anyone describe what the invasion symbol looks like that is indicating an invasion quest? I have tried doing the quests with the ! on them but that apparently wasn't it. I did all the quests with the two swords crossed, not it. Did all the quests with the ring of orange spikes around them, not it. Even tried doing all the quests that had "assault" in the name. Not it. Kinda at a loss for what to do now.

Comment by Cymre

My invasion was in Val'Sharah but once I'd completed all my assault objectives on my boosted monk, I was unable to hand it in to Jared at Black Rook Hold. I was in the process of completing the last artifact questline in the zone so it most likely phased the area for me. Once I'd completed that part of the questline and went back to Dal to receive the gifts from the five, I flew back to Black Rook Hold and was able to complete the last bit of the invasion triggering the scenario I needed to complete this part of the campaign.

Comment by mechanix4488

For anyone doing this quest in a later expansion, you have to do 4 world quests related to the invasion. Look for world quests with a red outline around the icon. Another helpful tip is to look at the descriptions on the world quests. On certain days, one of the quests will be to kill alliance players in Black Rook Hold. That is really challenging as there aren't usually that many people doing these quests. I waited for another invasion and the quests were different.

Comment by wowdash

Just did this quest and you need to look in the Broken Isles map for the big green Legion Assault icon (huge green swirly). For me it was Stormheim, where I completed 4 of the quests that had the little green v on it (you can hover over the quest and it should say Legion Assault up top). But after completing 4 quests, that's not the end- you need to pick up another quest (for Stormheim it's Battle for Stormheim Battle for Stormheim) and complete this scenario too before the Defending Broken Isles quest gets completed.

Comment by Lantoras

Incase you haven't noticed, Wowhead keeps track of current invasion on the first side her on this site!

Comment by IamHRF

Pray tell how is the Assault on Broken Isles listed on the map? For those that have the same question as I check the videos below. They have a great view of how the assaults look on your map. I guess I have just been unlucky enough not to check my map when they are on going. Considering all the time I have been in the game it is sad.

Comment by ReversedHD

Won't count as completion for Defending Broken Isle's if you leave the instance after completing the quest. This wasted a fat 20 hours of my life to wait for another rotation of assaults. Thank you blizz.

Comment by Ranion

Make sure you pickup the quest with the same name in broken shore

Comment by alpha17x

Sometimes the quest(s) you need won't show up for days on end for one character, but be there nearly all the time for another. To say this is annoying would be an understatement.

Comment by IAteATomato

The NPC to take you to the next place is at 39.07 51.68. If you left the NPC before she sends you to the top of the tower, the game doesn't tell you where to find her.

Comment by ZuljanOutland

If you are here for you class mount, REJOICE!

From patch 9.1.5, Breaching the Tomb achievement becomes Account-Wide. Meaning it is only required on one character in order to unlock the class mounts quests on Alts!

HOWEVER, each character must still complete their class hall campaign, get their titles, and recruit their final order hall champion.

Comment by DarkAviendha

OK apparently I missed something, im stupid, or this quest isn't possible anymore in 2022. so how do i get this done cause its looking like some of these things could only be done during content and that's a little frustrating. I've reset this quest like 4 time, I'd ive seen no swirly invation crap I did all the damb world quest, I'm all caught up on the class quest. so now what?

Comment by Tumerking

I have the 'Defending the Broken Isles' Quest, and the online timer says a legion invasion is active now on my realm. But I don't see anything? No green/yellow swirl anywhere on the Broken Isles. Is there some other quest I need to complete to make the invasions appear on my map?

Comment by Xanthu

This appears to be as far you can progress on this questline as an Evoker. Finished the invasion, turned it in and no follow-up was available. The follow-up quest is to return to your class hall and recruit a follower so that most likely is the issue.

Comment by Trelephant

This has got to be the most ridiculous requirement for the mount questline. The times are all over the place, most not normal hours. Unless I want to participate as a "swing shift", I have to wait 3 days for it.

Comment by LargeMarge

What's a Legion Assault?
They appear for 6 hours once every 18 hours
Excerpt from:
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/legion-assaults-defender-of-the-broken-isles-guide-5008

Assault Basics

A zone under a Legion Assault will have a green, demonic portal marking it as under assault on the larger continent map.
Legion Assaults will replace all the World Quests in a specific zone with Demon-themed World Quests.
These new World Quests must be completed for the zone-specific world quests to return and to advance the Assault (i.e. Assault on Val'sharah).
These Demon-themed World Quests reward tons of Nethershards! They can also drop the usual World Quest items like Order Resources and Artifact Power.
Once you have completed 4 of these Demon-themed World Quests, you will be asked to defend an area of each zone (i.e. Thunder Totem.)
You are then put into a 3-person scenario where you fight a Legion Command ship.
Once you have completed this scenario, you have "repelled an assault."
You must be level 110 to complete the entire scenario, but players under 110 can work on the first part.

Recap: complete the 4 Demon-themed World Quests and then complete the scenario.

Comment by Dedmmeett

Unless you're already in a group, or other people just so happen to be doing this at the same time as you, you're kind of hosed. Every zones legion invasion quest chain ends in a scenario you have to queue group with others to finish. Of course, any lvl 55+ is a cake-walk through the scenario but for some reason Blizz has decided not to just make the scenario soloable, like it's done with so many other scenarios.
So all I can say is, pray there are other people doing it the exact same time you are do you don't run into this un-avoidable brickwall in the pali mount quest chain.
