Isle of Quel'Danas Timewalking (explained)

[Mercy]

The Isle of Quel'Danas has four stages and some side events.

Main stages;
Sanctum
Armory
Harbor
And fully "Complete".

Side events;
Sunwell Portal
Anvil and Forge
Alchemy Lab
Monument to the Fallen


There are daily quests that help towards taking the buildings and side quests. For example, Sanctum preparation has two such daily quests, "Erratic Behavior" and "Sentry Wards". These quests just reward gold. When you take the building, the quests are replaced by "Further Conversions" and "Rearming the Wards". These drop an item called "Champion's Purse" which contain a sizable chunk of gold (10) and sometimes a "Champion's Seal", in addition to 40-60 gold per daily quest.


Taking the Harbor will unlock vendors that sell items for "Champion's Seals". (This is stage 4.)

These are shared across the server. Progress by both factions on the Isle benefit each other. You also do not need to be any sort of Argent Champion in order to access these rewards.

Additionally, completing progress on the Isle of Quel'Danas works towards preparation for the release of Sunwell and Magister's Terrace timewalking in the next patch.
The Sunwell's loot will mirror ICC and Magister's Terrace will mirror the Frozen Halls dungeons (Forge of Souls, Pit of Saron, Halls of Reflection), including the Battered Hilt quest item.

How/where can you find out which part of the Isle progression the realm is on at the moment? I'm curious how much the people raid loggi- er, I mean, playing on Frostmourne are actually *clears throat*, "cooperating", and doing these quests?

[Nobuemon]

You talk to either the questgivers on the isle or Exarch Nasuun in Shattrath, they will tell you the progress in percent

[Phaegiss]

Sorry if I don't understand this but where are these vendors at ?

[xxhummusgodx]

I checked Exarch Nasuun in Shattrath today and he said the effort was 11 percent of the way there... What happens if people don't do enough dailies before next April? lol

Hello,

How exactly are we supposed to get the advertised 200 ilvl gear ? Quests only give gold or Champion's Writ which is used for reputation purposes.

Can anyone help me and point out where the traders are and how to get the seals mentionned in the OP ?

Thanks !

how does the character transfer to icecrown work? started leveling on frost before i realized it reset every 3 months

how does the character transfer to icecrown work? started leveling on frost before i realized it reset every 3 months

1 "pve/pvp" season lasts around 3 month. But the Reset occurs once per year.
Example:
Frostmourne-Season 1 was 15-April-2020 till 14-April-2021. Character could be transfered to Icecrown on 15-April-2021
Frostmourne-Season 2 was 15-April-2021 and most likely will end on 14-April-2022.


So in a single "Frostmourne-Season" you experience x4 pve/pvp seasons -> from "naxx" to "ICC+RS"

Btw, about "transfer mechanic":
you will need to "manually" move your charactersm to Icecrown realm:
https://www.warmane.com/account > service
Select "Frostmourne - S2"* as realm

*right now it shows only Frostmourne - S1 obviously

The only requirement is being above lvl 10
