Take to the Skies: The Battle for Azeroth Pathfinder Guide

Blizzard Entertainment

If you’ve got your eye on the skies where Pterrodax rule, you’ll need to complete Battle for Azeroth Pathfinder part 1 & 2. Upon completion of both parts, you will earn this achievement account-wide.


Where to Start

I’m not 120 yet

Don’t worry – if you haven’t reached maximum level yet, you have time. Go questing, run dungeons, level up your professions. In the end, you will hit that magic number. You can always take a look at one of the many leveling guides available on various fansites, like this one.

I’m 120 but Haven’t Started the War Campaign

If you’re still working your way through the Horde and Alliance War Campaigns, don’t worry. We’ve put together a brief walkthrough below of what you need to do to complete it.


Achievements

Battle for Azeroth Explorer Azerothian Diplomat
Wide World of Quests Storyline: Loremaster of Kul Tiras (Alliance) & Zandalar Forever! (Horde)

Exploration

Battle for Azeroth Explorer: Explore the regions of Kul Tiras and Zandalar.

You’ll need to complete the Battle for Azeroth Explorer achievement by visiting locations in Kul Tiras and Zandalar.  

Tip: If you have War Mode on, you’ll want to exercise an abundance of caution as you travel into enemy territory.  Having outposts unlocked and available within those zones will help you get around a little easier. And of course, you can always grab a friend or two to go with you and get in a little PvP while you’re at it.

War Campaign

If you haven’t started the War Campaign for your faction, don’t worry. We’ve put together a brief guide of what you need to do to earn the Ready for War achievement. You’ll also earn the reward of increased mount speed while in Kul Tiras and Zandalar when you’ve completed it.

At level 110 and after you’ve completed the opening quest lines of Battle for Azeroth, you’ll be introduced to the new War Campaign and begin the road to opening new Footholds over time in the opposite faction’s territories.

Your first quest will be The War Campaign, which introduces you to War Resources. After the quest Mission From the Warchief, you’ll be introduced to the mission table, which will allow you to begin sending followers you gain through your adventures out to carry out missions.

Access to Footholds will become available as you level through Zuldazar, Nazmir, and Vol’dun. At each key point in your journey (level 110, 114, and 118) you’ll be able to establish a new Foothold in Drustvar, Stormsong Valley, and Tiragarde Sound. At level 120, you’ll begin focusing more on reaching reputation milestones with The Honorbound.
