If you’re having issues with quests not showing up or being available in the Stormheim zone in World of Warcraft Legion, there are a few potential causes and solutions to check out.
Check Your Level
The majority of quests in Stormheim require you to be level 98 or higher to access them. If you’re below level 98, you likely won’t see many quests available in the zone. Use the Adventure Guide (shift+J) to check the recommended level for Stormheim – if your character isn’t high enough level yet, you’ll need to quest in a different Legion zone first and then return to Stormheim later.
Complete the Stormheim Introduction Quests
In order to unlock all of the Stormheim quest chains, you first need to complete the introductory quests to the zone. This starts with The Warchief Beckons quest automatically given to you, which leads to a few more intro quests in Stormheim. Finish all of those intro/lead-in quests first, which will then unlock the major storylines and additional side quests in that zone.
Check Your Quest Log
It’s possible you may have already picked up some of the Stormheim quests but they got buried or hidden in your quest log. Open your quest log (L key default) and go through each tab, looking for any quests related to Stormheim or its main storylines. Sort your quest log by zone to filter for just Stormheim quests. If you see any unfinished Stormheim quests, track them and go finish those first, which may then open up more follow-up quests.
Abandon and Re-Accept Quests
If a quest seems stuck or bugged in your quest log, try abandoning it and then going back to the quest giver to re-accept it. This may reset and fix any issues with the quest progression. Note that abandoning some quests means you’ll have to fight/travel back to the quest objective to restart it. But this is worth trying if you think you’re stuck on a key quest that’s blocking your Stormheim progression.
Disable AddOns
If you use any addons that modify the UI or quest system, try disabling those to see if it’s causing issues with seeing Stormheim quests. Some addons can inadvertently block quest spawns, markers, and progress. Disable all addons, reload UI, and check Stormheim again for quest issues.
Reset the Zone
As a last resort, you can try resetting the Stormheim zone – exit Stormheim, then reset all of your quests and instances. This will reset the phase and state of the zone. After resetting, go back and re-do the intro quests to restart your progress. This wipe can fix phasing and other hidden blocking issues.
Still Stuck?
If you’ve tried all the above suggestions and are still having issues seeing and progressing Stormheim quests on your character, below are a few more things to check:
- Double check you don’t have any prerequisite Legion quests in your log from other zones, like Azsuna
- Make sure you don’t already have the Stormheim quests completed on that character (check achievement panel)
- Confirm you have no active PvP flags, curses, or shame/honor effects
- Ticket a GM to check and reset your character’s Stormheim phase/progress
Conclusion
In summary, issues with Stormheim quests not showing up or progressing can typically be resolved by:
- Checking you meet the minimum level requirements
- Completing all introduction and lead-in quests
- Cleaning up and resetting your quest log
- Abandoning and re-accepting stuck quests
- Temporarily disabling addons
- Resetting the Stormheim zone instance
Following these steps should get your Stormheim quest progression back on track. Let us know if you have any other issues getting the zone unlocked and accessible!
Other Potential Causes
Here are a few other miscellaneous things that could potentially interfere with seeing all the available quests in Stormheim:
Wrong Spec/Class
A small subset of quests may only be available to certain classes or specs. Double check your character’s current spec and class to make sure it matches the requirements.
World Quests Blocking
Active world quests in Stormheim can sometimes block regular quest spawns and progression until they are completed.
Playing on a Starter Edition Account
Starter Edition WoW accounts cannot access Legion content or zones. You need a full/current expansion account to play Legion and Stormheim.
Not Meeting Reputation Requirements
Some Stormheim quest chains require having a certain reputation level with a Legion faction to unlock. Check your reputation tabs to see if any are too low.
Bugged Instances/Phasing
Rarely, server issues, instancing, or phasing bugs could block visibility of quests. Usually fixed by zoning out and back in.
