The Harbinger is a small quest and one of the first you can complete at the start of the WoW The War Within campaign, but it was also doable in the pre-patch.

Although it’s a small quest on its own, The Harbinger is part of a bigger quest chain that introduces Xal’atath, the main antagonist of The War Within expansion. By completing this quest, you’ll better understand what to expect in the new expansion and who you’re dealing with.

So, here’s the full guide on how to start and complete The Harbinger quest in WoW The War Within.

To start this magnificent quest, you must first fulfill a couple of pre-requirements. Your main character needs to be at least level 70, and you need to complete the first part of a giant quest chain called The War Within.

This quest automatically appears in your quest log, and the first thing you need to do is go to Silithus and meet Thrall and Jaina Proudmoore. Once you finish the first part, you unlock the The Harbinger quest. As the next part of the big questline, The Harbinger quest starts in Dalaran, where you’re tasked with meeting Khadgar, the greatest archmage in Azeroth.

When you’re in Dalaran, enter the Chamber of the Guardian and take the portal that takes you down. Upon entering The Portrait Room, turn right, where you’ll meet an Elven ranger Hunter, Alleria Windrunner. Talk to her and hand in the quest, and a short cinematic with Alleria, Jaina, and Khadgar begins.

After the cutscene, turn in The Harbinger quest to Khadgar, and then Alleria gives you a new quest called Door to the Ren’dorei. This is the next part of the chain, which sends you to Telogrus Rift to learn more about this mysterious Harbinger, so prepare yourself for a long journey.
