Once you’ve completed the main storyline in Khaz Algar and reached level 80, you’ll unlock World Quests for your character on the continent. These are special time-limited activities that offer a variety of rewards as well as some reputation with The Severed Threads Pacts for your Warband. In this guide, we’ll tell you where to go and what you need to do to complete each of these quests.
Before you can see most of the world quests in Azj-Kahet, your character will need to make a Pact with one of the 3 Severed Threads leaders. That means completing the quests Pacts Below and Of Pacts and Patrons.
But before we get started, here are some other special activities and events that you can find in Azj-Kahet:
- Orta, the Broken Mountain World Boss
- Bountiful Delves
World Quests
This section lists the standard world quests in Azj-Kahet that do not have a special quest type (PvP, pet battle, Skyrider racing, or Special Assignment).
Bug Them
- 6 Bugs placed
This quest takes place in the High Hollows inside the City of Threads, but it only appears on the Azj-Kahet zone map. All you need to do is interact with the marked Insectiformant locations to place the bugs. Note that the NPCs here will be hostile unless you have obtained Pheromones: High Hollows by reaching Crony rank with The Weaver.
Documenting Discordance
- Ride the Shrouded Skysilk
- Take Pictures of Discordance
You’ll need to mount the Shrouded Skysilk, a stealthed flying carpet beside a nerubian named Valgrexx, on a cliff overlooking The Maddening Deeps (61.5, 76.0). Then you’ll be taking pictures to fill the progress bar. Common pictures will give you 3% progress each, Rare pictures are worth 5%, Epic pictures give 10%, and a Legendary picture gives 20%. To get a Legendary shot, keep an eye out for a humanoid named Orweyna on top of a rock (65.8, 82.4).

You can use these abilities to help you kill the nearby laborers – or you can just fight without bothering with the pools.
