Invasion Points

Invasion Points are a new type of repeatable content added in Patch 7.3. The forces of Azeroth will have the opportunity to strike at the Burning Legion by shutting down Invasion Points on other worlds.

Players will first be introduced to Invasion Points through a quest that challenges them to enter and defeat demonic forces inside. Each Invasion Point can be accessed without a queue to enter, and while no group is required, additional players will be able to enter the Invasion point instance within a short period of each other.

There are two tiers of Invasion Points:

  • Tier 1 Invasion Points allow anywhere from 3-10 players within the instance. While you can enter alone, you will ideally want at least two other players to join you in order to complete the scenario.
  • Tier 2 Invasion Points (also known as Greater Invasion Points), will require a raid to bring down the boss within.

Multiple Invasion Points will be available on Argus at any given time. They are entered through portals, visible on your world map. Each player needs to click on the portal to enter.

1.1.

Unlocking Invasion Points

Starting September 5th 2017, Invasion Points can be unlocked by talking to Illidan Stormrage aboard the Vindicaar (Where They Least Expect It).

1.2.

Locations

Portals in locations on Argus, at random.

  • In Krokuun, Invasion Point portals can be found at 46, 77 and/or 69, 82.
  • In Mac'Aree, they are at 38, 12 and/or 61, 18.
  • In Antoran Wastes, the portals are located at 60, 42 and/or 65, 70.

Uptime

Each Invasion Point will cycle within 6 hours and despawn. Keep an eye out on timers indicated on your map.

1.4.

Rewards

Completing Invasion Points provides Argus Waystone Icon Argus Waystones which can be used toward earning a weekly reward (Invasion Onslaught), Veiled Argunite Icon Veiled Argunite and an Artifact power token.

1.5.

Understanding the Notion of Environmental Hazards

Within Invasion Points, you need to be aware of your surroundings. Moving circles of Blizzard will appear on the ground, vines will emerge from the ground following, and eventually, stunning you if you get caught and so forth. Environmental hazards vary with each Invasion Point and in this guide, we are explaining all the possible variants for each Invasion Point.

1.6.

Differences & Similarities Between Invasion Points

In this section, we will be discussing how Invasion Points differ from one another and what they all have in common.

1.6.1.

Differences

  • Invasion Points have different environmental hazards and at least one unique objective.
  • The types of mobs you will be facing inside Invasion Points will differ with each stage.
1.6.2.

Similarities

  • All Invasion Points have three stages. Based on PTR testing, each stage 1 deals with defeating Legion forces, until the bar reaches 100%. In stage 2, additional mobs will spawn, and in the final stage you will need to kill a random elite Legion Commander to complete the Invasion Point.
  • Arrogance Icon Arrogance will trigger on every pull, making enemies deal 10% less damage to you for 4 seconds after you first damage them.
  • Enemies inside Invasion Points are susceptible to or benefit from environmental hazards.
  • If you wipe on Legion Commanders, their health will not reset.
