Molten Front Event & Daily Quest Hub Guide

The gates of the Firelands are about to be breached and the Molten Front Event is the beginning of the invasion of Ragnaros’ domain! The Molten Front Event takes place over a month, having multiple phases that players will have to progress throughout its duration to be able to restore Hyjal and attack the very domain of the Fire Lord.

Molten Front Event Progression Phases

The Molten Front Event is split into multiple phases that span a month. It is possible to complete all the phases in under a month if a player is meticulous about grinding the Daily Quests! There are 4 primary phases to the Molten Front Event, each of them requiring you to go through a set of Daily Quests and Normal Quest Chains to unlock the next phase. All of the phases are centered around the Mark of the World Tree as the primary currency for the event, with players having to gather Marks of the World and complete specific quests in order to progress to the next stage of the event.

Molten Front Event Phases:

• Invasion
• Sanctuary of Malorne

Quest Hubs

The phases of the Molten Front Event mainly take place in four Quest Hubs, two of them being considered main hubs while the other two are considered side hubs. The two main hubs are the Sanctuary of Malorne and Malfurion’s Breach while the two other side hubs are The Furnace and The Forlorn Spire.

The Invasion

The first phase of the Molten Front event begins with the Guardians of Hyjal: Firelands Invasion! quest which can be picked up from the Hero’s Board in either Stormwind or Orgrimmar depending on whether you are Alliance or Horde! If you haven’t completed the Mount Hyjal quest line, the Guardians of Hyjal: Firelands Invasion! quest won’t be available. Instead, you will be required to grab the Guardians of Hyjal: Call of the Ancients quest and progress through the normal Mount Hyjal questline until you’ll be able to pick up Guardians of Hyjal: Firelands Invasion!

The quest is simple, simply requiring you to go to the Sanctuary of Malorne in Mount Hyjal and find Matoclaw to learn more about the current situation of the Firelands Invasion and provide aid to the cause. Once you reach Matoclaw, a specific Chain Quest will be triggered which constitutes the first phase of the Molten Front event.

Main Questline:

• Opening the Door
• A Ritual of Flame
• To the Sanctuary
• Caught Unawares – 6 x Mark of the World Tree Reward
• The Sanctuary Must Not Fall – 10x Mark of the World Tree Reward

The quest line for The Invasion stage is straightforward, requiring you to repel the forces that seek to close the portal opened by the druids to the Firelands Realm, aid the sole druids and guardians who were ambushed by elemental forces, and protect Malfurion as he attempts to resurrect Malorne. Once you complete the questline and aid the forces of Hyjal against the initial devastation caused by the elementals and Fire Druids, you will progress to the next phase of the Molten Front event and unlock the first set of Daily Quests.

At the end of the first stage, you will have 16 x Mark of the World Tree!

Sanctuary of Malorne

The second stage of the Molten Front event is the Sanctuary of Malorne, being defined by a quick quest line and the opening of the first set of Daily Quests! This stage is the fastest one, besides the initial one, and it requires only a short amount of time to complete.

Main Questline:

• Call for Reinforcements
• Leyara
• Through the Gates of Hell

The quest line starts with the Call for Reinforcements quest, which requires you to gather 20 x Mark of the World Tree! You will already have 16 x Mark of the World Tree from the initial quest line from the first stage of the event, meaning that you will only have to gather 4 x Mark of the World Tree which can be acquired from the newly available Daily Quests.

The daily quests rotate each day, with this stage offering two specific Daily Quests each day, providing the rest of 4 x Mark of the World Tree required to complete the Call for Reinforcements quest. The main quest givers for the Daily Quests in this stage of the event will be Matoclaw and Mylune.

Complete list of all possible Daily Quests:

• Matoclaw:
  • Rage Against the Flames (6 Invaders) – 1 x Mark of the World Tree Reward
  • Rage Against the Flames (7 Invaders) – 1 x Mark of the World Tree Reward
  • Rage Against the Flames (8 Invaders) – 1 x Mark of the World Tree Reward
  • Rage Against the Flames (9 Invaders) – 1 x Mark of the World Tree Reward

    • Nature’s Blessing (Follow Up Quest) – 2 x Mark of the World Tree Reward

After completing the Call for Reinforcements quest, you will be able to pick up Leyara from Archdruid Hamuul Runetotem and promptly continue the quest line which ends this specific phase of the event. The following two quests, Leyara and Through the Gates of Hell are extremely short and straightforward, with the first one requiring you to travel to the western part of Mount Hyjal and find Leyara while the second one requires you to cross the portal into the Molten Front itself and aid Malfurion in securing an initial frontline.

The portal to cross into the Molten Front is the same one from the A Ritual of Flame quest and can be located at the 27.4, 55.8 coordinates!

Molten Front

The Molten Front is where the true adventure begins, as you aid Malfurion in invading the realms of the Firelord! Once you secure Malfurion’s Breach at the end of the Through the Gates of Hell quest, you will officially unlock Malfurion’s Breach as the secondary Main Quest Hub available throughout the event. This phase of the event is the most complex one as it is split into two separate main quests: Druids of the Talon and The Shadow Wardens! Those two questlines are further split into secondary one-time objectives and multiple new Daily Quests that will unlock specific areas and specific NPCs that you can interact with.

Main Questlines:

• Druids of the Talon
• The Shadow Wardens
• The Fate of Runetotem

Both quests require you to acquire 150 x Mark of the World Tree for completion. You will be able to pick up both quests at once but you will only be able to complete one of them at a time due to the huge number of Marks of the World Tree required. Fortunately, completing one of the quests will unlock an additional zone which will help you complete the other quest faster by increasing the number of Mark of the World Tree that you can acquire per day.

It is entirely up to you which one of the two quests you complete first, as there is no specific order they must be completed in!

You will still be able to collect Mark of the World Tree from the Sanctuary of Malorne by completing Daily Quests there while you will also be able to collect the new Daily Quests available upon unlocking Malfurion’s Breach as a quest hub. Additionally, you will be able to complete another Main Quest that opens up additional Daily Quests at the Sanctuary of Malorne, namely The Fate of Runetotem quest. The quest entails a simple chat with one of the NPCs at the Sanctuary and can be picked up from Matoclaw.

Keep in mind that you will only be given one or two of the following Daily Quests per NPC in this phase of the event!

The quest is simple and similar to the one of the Druids of the Talon, as you will simply be required to talk to Captain Saynna Stormrunner at Malfurion’s Breach to complete it.

The Regrowth

Once you complete both the Druids of the Talon and The Shadow Wardens quests, Malfurion’s Breach will transform into an area similar to the Regrowth, with the area becoming lush and slowly gaining life.

Once the Regrowth happens, additional NPCs will join the area, with this final stage of the Molten Front event providing 3 main quests.

Generally, it is better to start with either Filling the Moonwell or Calling the Ancients as they grant the best rewards.

Filling the Moonwell

Acquiring 125 x Mark of the World Tree will unlock Ayla Shadowstorm as a vendor and the Leyara questline! Once you gather the marks, all you have to do is go to Matoclaw to acquire the Sacred Water for filling up the Moonwell at Malfurion’s Breach. Delivering the quest to Matoclaw will trigger the follow-up quest, Nourishing Waters, requiring you to return to the Molten Front and talk to Ayla Shadowstorm.

The quest requires you to talk to Elderlimb at Malfurion’s Breach.

Additional Armaments

Lastly, acquiring 125 x Mark of the World Tree will unlock Damek Bloombeard as a vendor and unlock Ricket as a Daily Quest giver who grants access to 4 separate Daily Quests!
