So I tried this today, but didn't read the part where it said don't talk to Khadgar before abandoning it. I wound up in the intro, without the questline... I tried hearthing and taking the mage tower portal to Ashran, but there weren't any flight paths or quests there.The solution is to go back to the dark portal in Blasted Lands (talk to a mage outside the portal room, at the entrance of the tower, if you're alliance, I'm not sure where the horde equivalent is), and manually run through the iron horde and into the portal. This will put you at the landing spot for after the intro.
Not working anymore...
Just to clarify, you need to delete the quest from your questlog before entering the portal. If you don't, you'll end up in the intro scenario. Luckily it's possible to hearth away.
I did it today on Alliance! Works like a charm!
Tried this with a level 18 Mag'har Orc, it worked as described.
Can confirm this works on Alliance. Just did it tonight. Thanks so much for the experimentation / sharing your results! Popped out right on the shore of Shadowmoon valley going into Lunarfall
Can confirm this method still works
Still works as of today. Puts you out in front of the crashed ship in Frostfire Ridge.
can confirm this still works perfectly.
Came to Wowhead to find the location and found these non-issues.I wouldn't think the "skip the intro" chair would be TOS since it was Blizzard who designed and installed it.Since many people have already done this whole quest line a couple dozen times, why would anyone care if people want to skip it another umpteen times? If you want the XP, no problem, then just do it. If you don't, then don't.As of January 2021, this still works fine. Just did it.
Still works.Chromie quest tot alk to KhadgarBattlemage free teleport to Blasted LandsMount up and zoom over to KhadgarAbandon quest, don't turn inRun to portal (mounts don't work here)*Note: the orcs at gate will attack and stun for a moment but keep going*You will land on the beach with gnomes and draenei. Just follow them to the campsite and complete the Lumber Collection and Raven Kill quest.Continue on with the garrison building stuff.
Awesome thanks, I just like having the Garrison Heartstone and the Dalaran Hearthstone In case I have to go back and use an auctionhouse from leveling Outlands / Northrend.
Probably because we're sick to death of doing it.
THANKS A TON!yeah...experience, blah blah blah...sometimes I just want to skip this for the 700th time lol
I tried this skip today and it worked just fine. I had leveled my Vulperan Rogue through BFA and only just recently hit 60. I noticed they had neither the Dalaran/Legion nor Garrison hearthstones, so I thought I'd chase that down during lunch.Legion was easy: I picked up the quest from the warboard, told the NPC I'd been there and seen that, and was met in Dalaran by a guy with a hearthstone!Draenor was a bit more involved, but not much. I accepted the Tannan quest, took the port to the Blasted Lands, flew over to the Dark Portal, dropped the quest, and strolled through the portal. After a few minutes and a few quests later, I had a new hearthstone and garrison.
Still works fine, did this as alliance
If you're doing this with alts, purely to get a garrison hearthstone so your alt can go camp Rukhmar, don't forget to go back to Chromie after you've established your garrison and select a different timeline. Otherwise, you are "levelling" in Draenor and Rukhmar is scaled to you.
Works just fine on a level 70 without Chromie time as well.
