Without spoiling the story, I’ll guide you through the entire questline. You will, of course, have rewards to reap at the end and get to learn what’s been happening behind the walls of Gilneas while we were busy fighting drakes.

Without further ado, here’s how to start and complete the Reclaiming Gilneas questline in WoW Dragonflight

How to start the Reclaiming Gilneas questline in WoW Dragonflight

Since the Horde and the Alliance play different roles in the Reclaiming Gilneas questline, they don’t start with the same quests.

The Horde gets the Clandestine Movements quest first from a Deathguard Elite NPC at the gates of Orgrimmar (located to the right of the portal room when you come out) at coordinates 52.22, 88.47.
