Expansion: World of Warcraft

There are a few different reasons you might need to get to Mechagon. Maybe you want to complete some achievements in the zone, or maybe you need to get there to unlock the Mechagnome allied race. Whatever your reasons, you can just fly there from Drustvar or Stormsong Valley if you have unlocked flying in Battle for Azeroth. But if you haven’t unlocked flying yet, or if you want to be able to do the quests in Mechagon, you will need to unlock the quest Fame Waits for Gnome One (Alliance / Rumors of Mechagon (Horde). This requires completing a large number of quests in the other Battle for Azeroth zones. But not to worry – we’re here to help!

Here’s what you’ll need to do before you can head to the Mechagon zone:

The Battle for Azeroth introductory quests (Come Sail Away for Alliance or Welcome to Zandalar for Horde)
The Heart of Azeroth introductory quests
Friendly with 3 of your faction’s reputations (Uniting Kul Tiras for Alliance or Uniting Zandalar for Horde)
Establish all 3 footholds for your faction’s war campaign
The Nazjatar introductory quests
The Mechagon introductory quests

Note that the Uniting Kul Tiras (Alliance) / Uniting Zandalar (Horde) quest requires level 60, so that is the level you will need to be to reach Mechagon.

As you can see, there’s a lot to do – so let’s get started!

Starting Battle for Azeroth

Before you can get to Mechagon, you’ll have to get to your faction’s main city for the Battle for Azeroth expansion. To do this, you’ll need to do the introductory questline. We have a separate walkthrough for that in our BFA Intro Guide.

If you follow that chain, you should get the achievement Come Sail Away (Alliance) / Welcome to Zandalar (Horde), which will open up the portal to your faction’s capital city and give you access to the Scouting Map, which is needed for the next step.

Getting the Heart of Azeroth

You can do this step as late as mid-Nazjatar, but getting it done early will allow you to level your Heart of Azeroth while you do the other quests. You will need to be level 50 before you can do this chain.

After speaking with the Earthen Guardian in either Boralus or Dazar’alor, head to the portal room and take the portal to Silithus. For an in-depth guide to this quest chain, check out our How to Get the Heart of Azeroth guide.

The three quests to complete here are:

When you’re done, leave the Chamber of Heart the way you came in and head back to Boralus or Dazar’alor through the portal.

Getting Friendly With Your 3 Factions

Once you have opened up the Scouting Map, the next step is to quest through each of the zones on your home continent until you reach Friendly with its associated faction.

Alliance: Uniting Kul Tiras

For Uniting Kul Tiras, you’ll need to get to Friendly with the Proudmoore Admiralty, Storm’s Wake, and Order of Embers factions. To do this, you must quest through Tiragarde Sound, Stormsong Valley, and Drustvar respectively.

Each zone’s quests start at the Scouting Map in the Harbormaster’s Office in Boralus. For convenience, we’ve listed enough quests here to get you to Friendly. There are a lot of other quests you can do in these zones, and you can do the zones in any order.

Proudmoore Admiralty

Select Tiragarde Sound on the Scouting Map to work on Proudmoore Admiralty reputation.

Storm’s Wake

Select Stormsong Valley on the Scouting Map to work on Storm’s Wake reputation.

Order of Embers

Select Drustvar on the Scouting Map to work on Order of Embers reputation.

Completing The Order of Embers will automatically grant you Friendly reputation with this faction. Follow this path to get to that quest as quickly as possible. Most of these quests don’t give reputation, but are necessary to reach the one that does.

The Burden of Proof
An Airtight Alibi
The Order of Embers

Horde: Uniting Zandalar

For Uniting Zandalar, you’ll need to get to Friendly with the Zandalari Empire, Talanji’s Expedition, and Voldunai factions. To do this, you must quest through Zuldazar, Nazmir, and Vol’dun respectively.

Each zone’s quests start at the Scouting Map in The Great Seal in Dazar’alor. For convenience, we’ve listed enough quests here to get you to Friendly. There are a lot of other quests you can do in these zones.

Talanji’s Expedition

Voldunai

Select Vol’dun on the Scouting Map to work on Voldunai reptuation. Reputation is a little slow to gain in this zone, but these quests are also needed to unlock the Vulpera allied race — two birds, one stone!

Establishing Footholds

Alliance: The Zandalar Campaign

Now that you’ve done a whole bunch of quests in your own faction’s zones, it’s time to head over to your enemy zones: Nazmir, Vol’dun, and Zuldazar. Go to your ship, the Wind’s Redemption, which is docked in Boralus. Halford Wyrmbane is on board and offers the quest The Zandalar Campaign. Accept that quest, and then click on the War Table in front of him to select your first zone.

You can choose to do these zones in any order. When you have completed one, come back to Halford Wyrmbane for a quest to start the next one.

The Nazjatar Campaign

You’ve already quested through six zones — but wait, there’s more! Before you can get to Mechagon, you have to go to Nazjatar. You’ll follow this quest chain until you unlock world quests in the zone, which will also unlock the Mechagon quest chain.

This step requires that you be level 60.

Alliance: Getting to Mezzamere

Pick up Uniting Kul Tiras from Halford Wyrmbane on board the Wind’s Redemption in Boralus. Turning in this quest will unlock Send the Fleet from Genn Greymane nearby.

Welcome to Nazjatar

Secrets in the Sea

At this point, if you have not yet started the Heart of Azeroth quests, you will automatically pick up A Dying World. You will have to finish that chain before moving on. Leave the Chamber of the Heart and come back to continue from there.
