Demon Invasion Imminent

If there is one thing I love it is smiting evil!  Lets get some guild [and friends] groups going and get all of the goodies - and kick some demon ass too...

I'm so out of the loop on all things WoW. But, I'm game!

Grouping with the Blades last night was excellent fun. Highly recommended

A little buggy (I had to do it twice) but make sure and go through the invasion story - it is interesting and pretty quick... when it works.

Demon Invasions occur in six zones throughout the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor: Azshara, Dun Morogh, Hillsbrad Foothills, Northern Barrens, Tanaris, and Westfall. Don’t worry: You’re free to enter opposing faction’s towns when under attack. The Horde may enter Sentinel Hill’s Westfall and the Alliance may enter Hillsbrad’s Tarren Mill, for example. When an invasion is active, it will be marked on your world map with a green portal icon. Upon traveling to the zone, you’ll be placed in a zone-wide scenario with all other players in the region.


Invasions play out in a four stages:

Stage 1: Kill demons in the zone’s primary town or village
Stage 2: Kill demonic lieutenants and their commander in that village
Stage 3: Spread out to tackle small objectives throughout
Stage 4: Return to town to defeat the invasion’s boss

Essentially, players will gather together for stages 1 and 2, spread out for stage 3, then collapse on the town again for stage 4. In stages 1 and 3, you’ll be defeating demons and completing other objectives to fill a progress bar. In stages 2 and 4, you’ll be fighting bosses. The stage 4 boss in particular can be deadly.

Completing an invasion awards a player with Nethershards and the occasional Small Legion Chest or Large Legion Chest with ilevel 685 and ilevel 700 equipment respectively. If you’re looking to collect all of the possible transmogrification gear from the event, you’ll want to pursue the Large Legion Chests. You can check the chest’s full contents on Wowhead

Levels 10-100 can participate. Demons scale to your level. Same tech as Legion.

Nethershards are traded at Illidari vendors in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and invasion zones for a variety of items, including more transmogrification options.
