The Broken Shore is the zone from patch 7.2 and pure endgame: there is no levelling story here. What there is instead: a campaign, realm-wide buildings, Legion assaults, the Tomb of Sargeras raid and the second half of the road to flying.
How to unlock the zone
- You need level 110. Khadgar calls you to Dalaran and sends you to scout the shore.
- After the intro quests you get the quest Armies of Legionfall and the base at Deliverance Point.
- That is also where you find the flight point, the quartermaster, the construction table and the raid entrance nearby.
- The Armies of Legionfall faction and the zone's World Quests open up straight away.
The Breaching the Tomb campaign
This is not a linear quest log but a dozen and a half stages: recruit a Class Order Hall champion, collect 100 Sentinax marks, kill demons, take part in the assaults, spend 2500 Nethershards, complete 8 World Quests, find three caches.
Why bother: Breaching the Tomb is a hard requirement for the class mount questline and one of the Pathfinder criteria.
The campaign is deliberately spread out over time: some of the quests are only handed out once a week. You will not close it out over a weekend — plan for several weeks and never skip the weekly quests.
Buildings and currency
Everyone on the realm works together on one of three buildings by handing in Legionfall War Supplies (you can hold 1000). Every 100 supplies handed in give 150 reputation. After a few days the Legion destroys the building and the cycle repeats.
| Building | What it gives |
|---|---|
| Mage Tower | Artifact challenges, extra treasures and portals |
| Command Center | The Cathedral of Eternal Night dungeon, reinforcements |
| Nether Disruptor | The zone's world bosses and materials for legendaries |
The zone currency is the Nethershard. You spend it at Warmage Kath'leen at Deliverance Point: gear, relics, consumables and blanks for legendary items.
What to do every day
- Hand in 100 supplies to the current building — that is 150 reputation.
- Close out the zone's World Quests (75 reputation each) and the emissary whenever it comes up for the faction.
- Get under the Sentinax — the demonic ship hanging over the zone. Beacons such as the Sentinax Beacon of Petrification summon elite demons; this is the best farm for shards and marks.
- Catch the Legion assaults in the zones of the isles — the single largest one-off source of reputation.
- Once a week pick up the campaign's weekly quests.
With daily activity Revered takes a couple of weeks; the campaign itself is held up not by farming but by those weekly gates.
Raid, dungeon and rewards
- Tomb of Sargeras — the fourth Legion raid, 9 bosses: Goroth, Demonic Inquisition, Harjatan, Sisters of the Moon, Mistress Sassz'ine, The Desolate Host, Maiden of Vigilance, Fallen Avatar, Kil'jaeden. Item level runs roughly 885–895 in Raid Finder and up to 930–940 on Mythic.
- Cathedral of Eternal Night — a dungeon that opens once the Command Center is built, and it is part of the Mythic+ rotation.
- The faction's paragon cache gives not a mount but the pet Orphaned Felbat. The zone's mount is the class mount, earned through the campaign.
Without this zone there is no Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part Two: it needs Revered with the faction, the shore explored and the campaign done. And Part Two means flying on your whole account.
