- Complete the introduction to Void Incursions. Doing so will make weekly
Incursion quests available to you.

worth doing if you can still use Veteran gear!
- "Void Strikes" are smaller, continuous attacks throughout Eversong Woods or Zul'Aman. These are easily doable solo or in small groups.

Field Accolades
