still some reasons to head back to the Shadowlands and catch up on content you may have missed. If you\u2019re looking to complete some transmog runs, grind out reputation, or add an old mount from the expansion to your collection, you\u2019ll have to make sure that you\u2019ve completed the Shadowlands introductory quests.\u00a0 You can't access the Shadowlands (or any portals to their capital city, Oribos) unless you've completed the introductory quests of the expansion. Thankfully, if you\u2019re looking to unlock the zones of the Shadowlands on an alternate character, you\u2019ll be able to skip the Shadowlands introduction and head right to Oribos. Still, you\u2019ll need to pick up a short quest chain that allows you to do so in your faction\u2019s capital city.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how to start the Shadowlands main quest and get yourself to Oribos in World of Warcraft.\u00a0 Where to find Darion Mograine and start the Shadowlands intro in World of Warcraft Alliance players can go straight to Stormwind Keep, where Darion Mograine will be waiting for you to give you the quest \u201cShadowlands: A Chilling Summons,\u201d while Horde players will be able to pick up the quest from Mograine outside Grommash Hold in Orgimmar\u2019s Valley of Strength.\u00a0 After accepting this quest, you\u2019ll have the option to either replay the introduction to the Shadowlands expansion that takes place in the Maw, or you can head directly to Oribos and skip the introduction altogether, so long as you\u2019ve already completed the quest on another character. We recommend skipping the introduction if you\u2019ve already done it since the experience it yields isn\u2019t enough to justify the time investment attached to it while leveling. If you haven\u2019t done the Shadowlands introductory quests on any of your characters, you won\u2019t have access to the skip.\u00a0 If you\u2019re leveling a fresh character, you can always head to Chromie in either the Stormwind or Orgrimmar Embassy (depending on your faction) and choose \u201cThe Realms of Death\u201d as the timeline you wish to experience while leveling.\u00a0 After you\u2019ve hit max-level and wrapped up the leveling process, you\u2019ll always be free to return to the Shadowlands, assuming you\u2019ve unlocked portals to Oribos via the expansion\u2019s introductory questline.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/05151937\/WoW-Maw.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814308"}],"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\/1720"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814308"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814308\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1488355,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814308\/revisions\/1488355"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/439072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814308"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=814308"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=814308"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=814308"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=814308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

still some reasons to head back to the Shadowlands and catch up on content you may have missed. If you\u2019re looking to complete some transmog runs, grind out reputation, or add an old mount from the expansion to your collection, you\u2019ll have to make sure that you\u2019ve completed the Shadowlands introductory quests.\u00a0 You can't access the Shadowlands (or any portals to their capital city, Oribos) unless you've completed the introductory quests of the expansion. Thankfully, if you\u2019re looking to unlock the zones of the Shadowlands on an alternate character, you\u2019ll be able to skip the Shadowlands introduction and head right to Oribos. Still, you\u2019ll need to pick up a short quest chain that allows you to do so in your faction\u2019s capital city.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how to start the Shadowlands main quest and get yourself to Oribos in World of Warcraft.\u00a0 Where to find Darion Mograine and start the Shadowlands intro in World of Warcraft Alliance players can go straight to Stormwind Keep, where Darion Mograine will be waiting for you to give you the quest \u201cShadowlands: A Chilling Summons,\u201d while Horde players will be able to pick up the quest from Mograine outside Grommash Hold in Orgimmar\u2019s Valley of Strength.\u00a0 After accepting this quest, you\u2019ll have the option to either replay the introduction to the Shadowlands expansion that takes place in the Maw, or you can head directly to Oribos and skip the introduction altogether, so long as you\u2019ve already completed the quest on another character. We recommend skipping the introduction if you\u2019ve already done it since the experience it yields isn\u2019t enough to justify the time investment attached to it while leveling. If you haven\u2019t done the Shadowlands introductory quests on any of your characters, you won\u2019t have access to the skip.\u00a0 If you\u2019re leveling a fresh character, you can always head to Chromie in either the Stormwind or Orgrimmar Embassy (depending on your faction) and choose \u201cThe Realms of Death\u201d as the timeline you wish to experience while leveling.\u00a0 After you\u2019ve hit max-level and wrapped up the leveling process, you\u2019ll always be free to return to the Shadowlands, assuming you\u2019ve unlocked portals to Oribos via the expansion\u2019s introductory questline.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/05151937\/WoW-Maw.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814308"}],"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\/1720"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814308"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814308\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1488355,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814308\/revisions\/1488355"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/439072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814308"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=814308"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=814308"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=814308"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=814308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
