There are a few different reasons you might need to get to Nazjatar. 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, it’s not as simple as just flying there. Nazjatar is located in the middle of the sea, and the only way to get there is by unlocking the quest Send the Fleet (Alliance) / Send the Fleet (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 Nazjatar zone:

The Battle for Azeroth introductory quests (Come Sail Away for Alliance or Welcome to Zandalar for Horde)
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

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 Nazjatar.

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

Starting Battle for Azeroth

Before you can get to Nazjatar, 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 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.

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.
