Discover how to unlock Story Mode for Queen Ansurek on live servers and check out the rewards you will get!

Prerequisites

You must complete the first chapter of The War Within max-level campaign to be eligible for Story Mode.

Where to Pick Up The First Quest?

This can be a bit confusing since important quests are almost always auto-accept upon logging in which is not the case for Story Mode.

Head to The Coreway in Dornogal and just outside the Horde Embassy, you will notice Webster who will offer you the very first Story Mode quest called Our Chance to Strike.

Just take the portal to Azj-Kahet in Dornogal to get there.

Now you must fly all the way to the City of Threads as shown on the map. Talk to Executor Nizrek inside the building and accept The Beginning of the End quest.

Next, you must wreak havoc at the Umbral Bazzar, kill guards and loot items, fill the bar to 100% to proceed.

Next, you will meet up with Gut’usul in the Burrows and must save 5 Burrows Residents.

When that’s out of the way, you must kill 8 Abductors. Visit the marked areas on the map and kill stealthed NPCs.

For the next quest you must kill Master Abductor. This NPC is located in the upper portion of the tower, don’t waste your time killing the one located down surrounded by Elite guards.

Finally, you can go kill Ansurek in Story Mode. There is no loot. You will only receive an Enchanted Runed Harbinger Crest from the quest.

Go to Kriz the “Loyal” located on the map here.

Talk to him to enter the raid in Story Mode. You can do this alone or with a group of up to 10 people.

Your raid group will be comprised of NPCs and you only need to take down Ansurek. She’s easy to kill and has around 500 million health. Don’t expect her abilities to deal any massive damage.

Once defeated, you can port out of the raid and turn in the quest. You will receive 1 Enchanted Rune Harbinger’s Chest, 265 Valorstones, and 1 Renown with the Severed Threads faction.
