this is good tnx
"How to skip the chestchain""Just hit the skip button"Great article, keep it up
Important to note that you also miss on the free profession accessory you can get on the second quest
The red text on the NPC’s dialogue seems to suggest that we don’t get some of the rewards from the skipped quests. Is that the case? I’m guessing the profession tools/accessories, the reagent bag, and the small crate of crafting mats, are all skipped. (Not a terrible loss if they are as it’s easy enough to fill those slots with better crafted items, anyway).
Be careful, I skipped it on my alt and missed on the free reagent bag from Miguel's first quest. Not a huge deal but it is bigger size than the pre-patch event one.
Right now most profession gears / bags / etc are basically worthless due to flooding on the AH, but you do miss out on a handful of materials and XP this way. It's a shame they locked it to the Ohnaran storyline... It would have been nice to have alts just be able to land in dragon isles, do the profession quests and end up in valdrakken. If you are doing professions on your alt though, there's a good chance you want that rep anyways.
So what things do alts miss out on then? The reagent bag and exp?
Do you need to be 70 to skip this chain? Because i skipped it on my 70 dh, but can't skip it on my 63 druid.
I was able to skip on my level 60 shaman but he already had level 25 in professions and had done some crafting quests in Valdrakken and the first few story quests before the adventure map table lets you choose other zones. My level 60 warrior that just came into the new lands without doing anything went straight to the crafting quest giver and does not have the skip offered, but the first quest is offered...
I completed the Catching Up questchain in full on my main, but this NPC doesn't have the Skip option for me on my alt. Thoughts?They don't have any crafting profs, just gathering, but they should still be able to do this and unlock the Shard-finding, right?
this is very badofc people completed the first two quests before their mains had enough skill to unlock the shard follow-ups
Does the skip option go away if you complete any other quests from Haephesta, or just the first one in the chain (Gift for Miguel)?
Hey Everyone! If your alt has already progressed the quest chain (so you can't do the skip) but you don't want to do all of the Ohn'ahran plains, you actually don't have to! You can just do the first Campaign quest of the Azure Planes "To the Azure Span" and then the quests for the Dragon Shard Knowledge will unlock.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep this in mind since I really didn't end up enjoying that part of the story. The rest have been fine for the most part, though.
This is not true, I completed the quest chain, and went there with a fresh alt who completed not a single quest in DF and the option to skip was not there. Has anyone had success with it?
Skip doesn't show up for me. I've tried on an alt who went to Vald through the portal and did the crafting quests in the crafters area but nothing else. I've tried on an alt who went to Vald through the portal and didn't do any of the stuff in the crafters area. I've tried on a alt who went on the boat normally and did the first few main quests to unlock the table, but nothing else (both before even training DI crafting and after).
