World of Warcraft: Dragonflight's patch 10.1 will feature a brand-new series of main story quests. Players will be diving down into Zaralek Cavern and working to stop the Primalists' latest schemes across the Dragon Isles. As players explore the underside of this massive island, they'll meet new allies, tackle challenging dungeons, and complete a wide variety of quests.
Thankfully, there's a clear path to take if you're simply looking to first do the main story quests in World of Warcraft's latest update. You can then come back and worry about the faction quests, weeklies, dungeon grind, and preparing for the competitive season, which starts on May 9, 2023.
Main Story Quests for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight's patch 10.1
As you explore the darkness beneath the Dragon Isles in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, you will meet new allies, such as the Niffen, and participate in missions to help the Dragon Scale Expedition. However, if you aim to grind through the main quests quickly, that's feasible.
Upon logging into a character that is level 70 in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, you'll be given a prompt to begin the quests that will lead you to Zaralek Cavern. After completing a few of these main story quests, you can head to specific points on the map to fly down into this new area.
This begins with The Land Beneath, which requires you to head to the Seat of Aspects in Valdrakken. A mysterious event broke open the ground between Ohn'ahran Plains and Thaldraszus.
This allows players to enter the new 10.1 area of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, but an investigation must occur first. There are several sets of missions, each with its own required main story quests.
