Common Problems

  • Eitrigg is missing, I can't figure out how to get started questing in Twilight Highlands
  • Can't figure out how to pick up Machines of War in Orgrimmar to get to Twilight Highlands

Phasing that changes Orgrimmar can cause Eitrigg, the NPC who gives the quest Machines of War, to be unavailable. Depending on your phasing, other NPCs can offer it. Try one of the following workarounds to resolve the issue:

  • Make sure you are not on the starting questline for Legion, Battle for Azeroth, Shadowlands, Dragonflight, or The War Within. If you are, completing the questline to the point where the portal between the expansion zone and Orgrimmar is officially opened should resolve phasing issues
    • Note: Dropping a questline usually does not resolve phasing issues, so completion of the questline is the optimal solution
  • If you are in Timewalking for a different expansion, change your Timewalking option with Chromie to Cataclysm. This will make Eitrigg appear as normal
If completing the steps above do not fix the issue, please submit a bug report so the developers can investigate potential phasing issues.
