What are World Quests in Legion?

Recommended Posts

wDxGDxw.png

Legion is going to see the introduction of a brand new world-PvE mechanic known as the world quest. Take a look at exactly what it is, why you need to do it and what you can get from it!

Let's start off with the most basic question of them all:

What is a World Quest?

World Quests function in a similar way to how bonus objectives did in Warlords of Draenor. Essentially, you can open your map when you reach level 110 and you will see a number of markers across the world. These markers indicate different types of World Quest that can be completed. You will need to journey to the location of the quest and it will automatically start. You need to complete the criteria listed by the quest and you will then receive a reward based on the quest and its difficulty.

What types of World Quest exist?

There are the following types of World Quests in Legion:

  • Normal quests that can be completed by a solo player, marked by a normal yellow "!".
  • Small group quests that require you to kill an elite mob, marked by a yellow "!" with a dragon border.
  • Group quests that require you to kill a rare elite, marked by a blue "!" with a dragon border.
  • Group quests that require you to go into a dungeon, marked by a blue skull with a dragon border.
  • Group quests that require you to kill a world boss, marked by a purple "!" with a dragon border.
  • PvP quests, marked by the PvP "crossed swords" symbol.
  • Pet battle quests, marked by the usual green paw.
  • Profession quests, marked by your professions icon.

What rewards can I get from World Quests?

There's a big variety here, especially with so many different types of World Quest available. The rewards that are possible include the following:

  • Currencies, such as:
    • Gold
    • Order Resources
    • Artifact Power
  • Materials, such as:
    • Blood of Sargeras
    • Crafting materials
  • Troop and Champion items for your class hall.
  • Rank 3 recipes for professions.
  • Gear for players, starting at item level 805.
  • PvP gear from the PvP quests.
  • Reputation with Broken Isles factions.

It's important to note that as your item level increases, the gear that you get will also increase in item level to make sure that World Quests stay relevant. 

Emissary Quests

Each day, when you're getting ready to do your World Quests, make sure to check your map to see which faction's emissary quest is available. A new one will become available every day and you can have 3 up at any time. Once an emissary quest has been up for 3 days, it will be replaced by another. 

These emissary quests require you to complete 4 World Quests that are tied to a particular Broken Isles faction. Once done, you can go to the faction's emissary, also known as their quartermaster, and hand it in for a bonus reward. You will receive:

  • 1500 Reputation with the faction that issued the quest.
  • A chest that can contain the following items:
    • Order Resources
    • Artifact Power
    • Equipment for Champions and Troops
    • Legendaries
    • The item that starts the questline to obtain the fox mount, Reins of the Llothien ProwlerReins of the Llothien Prowler.

Kirin Tor Emissary Quest

This one works slightly differently, mainly due to the fact that the Kirin Tor doesn't really have a zone that they can call their "hub". Instead, the Kirin Tor World Quests can spawn in any zone and are often puzzles rather than just killing a certain number of mobs.

Once you have completed 4 of their quests, your reward is much the same as the other emissary quests, except for the fact that you can choose which reputation you gain 1500 rep with from the Broken Isles.

haha i guess it was just a stateside thing. A cartoon/show/gameshow about a clever international thief named carmen sandiago. The song went "where in the world is carmen sandiago". so I was trying to be punny and parallel that to the articles title what are world quests XD. not 100% successful but i tried. might have worked better if it was "where in the world can I find my llothien prowler" or something to that effect. 

edit: the first appearance of her was in 1985.... so... i'm showing my age here XD. we may have to delete this entire article so i don't feel old  :P

Yeah I remember her. The "police" (I can't recall the name of the organization hunting her down) were always just behind her. And IIRC she'd steal things that would require a lot of effort, like a pyramid,Big Ben or the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. Like things a half competent organization would be able to at least confront her while she was doing and stop her if not capture her. And they always got the stuff back, so it's like she really didn't even really desire the things she was stealing more like she did it to show the incompetence of the authorities.

Also good article on World quests.

Will the world quests be the same for all players?

And more importantly, if you have to kill an (optional) boss in a dungeon, will all players benefit from that kill? Or will you be forced to beg the whole party to tag along on your kill...?

Yeah, everyone has the same world quests available everywhere except in Suramar.

The dungeon ones normally require you to just kill the final boss of the instance, at least from what I have completed so far. I'll look into this more.

This sounds like a cleaner version of the various quests that were given through the garrisons in WoD, with the improved feature of gear rewarded staying in line with current item level.  I'm excited to see how this plays out.

Frickin Fox mount. 

It should be purple, to indicate its level of Epic-ness. 

Although - it is Orange...

I know so many people that were just so excited for this mount :P I hope they have new skins of it in the future, it's amazing!

According to what I have read so far, dungeons will have special 'optional' rares that you will need to kill for dungeon world quests. And on top of that you also need to finish the dungeon of course, or A-holes would blow the party once they get their required kill :)

Yeah, that was what I thought. You need to always kill the final boss to actually complete the quest to stop what happened in WoD.

I like this idea better then the bonus objectives.  They just felt like filler to me.  This seems much more involved and worth it.

Definitely. These are literally bonus objectives, but better. It shows Blizzard has taken feedback from WoD on board.

Do you turn into a pot of petunias if you fall to the ground while on the whale?  Or does just the whale itself?

      The Highland Drake Dragonriding mount received a new Elementium transformation in the latest Patch 10.1 build on the PTR that drops in Aberrus.
      We assume Highland Drake: Embodiment of the Elementium Drake will be a drop from the final boss of the 10.1 raid, similar to how Renewed Proto-Drake: Embodiment of the Storm-Eater drops from Raszageth.
      The good news is the item should be available even on Raid Finder difficulty.

      We're getting our first look at the patch 10.0.7 Mythic+ rankings as they remain much more stable than the raid ones, but it's important to note there is more tuning that just happened yesterday so we might be seeing some changes next week. The top two spots seem locked down for now as the two long-time dungeon dominators settle in, but the rest sees a solid amount of movement, and the tanks and healers are definitely very much changed since the patch.
      Note: The logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      This past week was:
      Fortified, Spiteful, Grievous (and Thundering )
      All Keys
      95th percentile
      It seems the patch changes haven't impacted Mythic+ as much as they have the raid, at least for now, as the top 2 remain exactly the same (and Fire hasn't taken over just yet). We do see an inverse move for Shadow, as it actually went up into 3rd, as opposed to its very much downward trajectory in raids, pushing Balance out of the way. Havoc also moves up one and switches places with Enhancement, while Destruction is definitely benefiting from the patch quite a bit, moving 3 up into 7th. The trio of Outlaw, Feral and Windwalker also reshuffled themselves at the end of the top 10, with the Druid dropping out of the top of that pack to the middle. And if you ever wanted proof that Mythic+ and raids are very different, the No.1 from the raids, which actually got a nerf just yesterday, finds itself in the bottom three here, as Frost DK is joined by newcomers Arcane and Devastation.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      The generalist bracket tells the same story as the top percentile one, except Shadow rises even more here, still in 3rd but from a much lower 7th spot before the patch. Outlaw is also doing better here, coming in between Havoc and Enhancement's battle, while Windwalker and Feral remain stable. We then have an onslaught of Warlocks, with Destruction leading the pack and closing out the top 10, as Affliction rises the most this past week, digging itself out of the bottom 3 and up a huge 13 spots into 11th. Retribution also managed to rise out of the bottom 3 and towards the middle of the pack after the rework, with the last spots now being reserved for Arcane, Survival and Assassination.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Tanks
      Protection Paladin is at the top of the pile after the patch, having moved up quite a bit from its penultimate spot a few weeks back, pushing Blood down to 2nd. The tank revolution continues with Brewmaster's 3rd spot as both it and Prot Warrior move past Vengeance, but Guardian Druids remains stable at the bottom.

      Tank All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healers
      Nothing is moving Preservation out of the top it seems, with Resto Druid also very much stable in 2nd, but we do see Resto Shaman move up from its penultimate spot into 3rd. Holy Paladin moves in between the Priests and Mistweaver remains at the bottom.

      Healer All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
