So, here\u2019s our full guide to starting Story Mode raids in The War Within. How to unlock the Story Mode raids in WoW The War Within Before you jump into the Nerub-ar Palace Raid and experience it on your own, you must fulfill a couple of prerequisites. To unlock the Story Mode raids in The War Within, you must reach the maximum level first and complete the entire story campaign of Khaz Algar.\u00a0 The Khaz Algar campaign is a level-up campaign consisting of the four zones of Khaz Algar. Each zone has three chapters of quests to complete, giving you plenty of experience to reach level 80. Once you finish the Khaz Algar campaign, you can start The War Within Campaign, which has five chapters. Luckily, all you need to do is complete the first chapter, Against the Current, which has the following quests in order: The Fleet Arrives\u00a0 Embassies and Envoys There\u2019s Always Another Secret What\u2019s Hidden Beneath Dornogal Preparing for the Unknown Urban Odyssey You can complete the entire chapter rather quickly since it mostly requires you to talk to NPCs in Dornogal and interact with items. After you finish the first chapter, you get a part of The War Within achievement Against the Current and unlock the Story Mode Raid. How to start Story Mode raids in WoW The War Within When you unlock the Story Mode Raid, you need to do some extra quests before you enter the Nerub-ar Palace. Talk to the little spider NPC Webster in Dornogal, at coordinates 31.56, 62.88 and he gives you the first quest called Our Chance to Strike. Take the portal in Dornogal at coordinates 63.62, 52.03, and go to the Azj-Kahet zone. Use your mount and fly to the City of Threads where hand in the quest to the NPC Executor Nizrek at the Royal Apothecary. Then you need to do the following quests in order: Beginning of the End A Spy Like Us Defense of the People Make Them Prey A Shot At The Top All quests are straightforward to complete since they require you to go around the City of Threads, slay Nerubian guards and Abductors, and rescue a couple of Burrows Residents. Once you turn in A Shot At The Top quest, the NPC Executor Nizrek gives you the To Kill A Queen quest which sends you to the Nerub-ar Palace to fight and defeat Queen Ansurek.\u00a0 Speak with the NPC Kriz the \u201cLoyal\u201d in the City of Threads, at coordinates 31.59, 63.84 and he\u2019ll teleport you to the Nerub-ar Palace where you fight the last boss Queen Ansurek in story mode with nine NPCs. Upon completing the Story Mode Raid you can obtain the following rewards: 1404 Gold Enchanted Runes Harbinger Crest Void-Touched Valorstones (Contains 250 Valorstones) 15 Valorstones The Vizier\u2019s Commendation (2500 Reputation with The Vizier)","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Alleria-Xalatath-Ansurek-wow-the-war-within.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348096"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2585"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1348096"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1348106,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348096\/revisions\/1348106"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1343171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1348096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1348096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1348096"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1348096"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1348096"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1348096"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1348096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

So, here\u2019s our full guide to starting Story Mode raids in The War Within. How to unlock the Story Mode raids in WoW The War Within Before you jump into the Nerub-ar Palace Raid and experience it on your own, you must fulfill a couple of prerequisites. To unlock the Story Mode raids in The War Within, you must reach the maximum level first and complete the entire story campaign of Khaz Algar.\u00a0 The Khaz Algar campaign is a level-up campaign consisting of the four zones of Khaz Algar. Each zone has three chapters of quests to complete, giving you plenty of experience to reach level 80. Once you finish the Khaz Algar campaign, you can start The War Within Campaign, which has five chapters. Luckily, all you need to do is complete the first chapter, Against the Current, which has the following quests in order: The Fleet Arrives\u00a0 Embassies and Envoys There\u2019s Always Another Secret What\u2019s Hidden Beneath Dornogal Preparing for the Unknown Urban Odyssey You can complete the entire chapter rather quickly since it mostly requires you to talk to NPCs in Dornogal and interact with items. After you finish the first chapter, you get a part of The War Within achievement Against the Current and unlock the Story Mode Raid. How to start Story Mode raids in WoW The War Within When you unlock the Story Mode Raid, you need to do some extra quests before you enter the Nerub-ar Palace. Talk to the little spider NPC Webster in Dornogal, at coordinates 31.56, 62.88 and he gives you the first quest called Our Chance to Strike. Take the portal in Dornogal at coordinates 63.62, 52.03, and go to the Azj-Kahet zone. Use your mount and fly to the City of Threads where hand in the quest to the NPC Executor Nizrek at the Royal Apothecary. Then you need to do the following quests in order: Beginning of the End A Spy Like Us Defense of the People Make Them Prey A Shot At The Top All quests are straightforward to complete since they require you to go around the City of Threads, slay Nerubian guards and Abductors, and rescue a couple of Burrows Residents. Once you turn in A Shot At The Top quest, the NPC Executor Nizrek gives you the To Kill A Queen quest which sends you to the Nerub-ar Palace to fight and defeat Queen Ansurek.\u00a0 Speak with the NPC Kriz the \u201cLoyal\u201d in the City of Threads, at coordinates 31.59, 63.84 and he\u2019ll teleport you to the Nerub-ar Palace where you fight the last boss Queen Ansurek in story mode with nine NPCs. Upon completing the Story Mode Raid you can obtain the following rewards: 1404 Gold Enchanted Runes Harbinger Crest Void-Touched Valorstones (Contains 250 Valorstones) 15 Valorstones The Vizier\u2019s Commendation (2500 Reputation with The Vizier)","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Alleria-Xalatath-Ansurek-wow-the-war-within.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348096"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2585"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1348096"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1348106,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1348096\/revisions\/1348106"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1343171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1348096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1348096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1348096"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1348096"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1348096"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1348096"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1348096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
