Patch 11.0.7 is here, and World of Warcraft: The War Within finally has a new zone to explore: The Siren Isle.
The Siren Isle is an island ravaged by frequent storms where players will have the opportunity to unlock new mounts, forge a catch-up ring called Cyrce's Circlet, and take part in new world events to receive the new currency Flame-Blessed Iron.
To unlock the Siren Isle, players will have to complete a questline with 11 quests called A Song of Secrets. This questline starts in Dornogol, takes you to the Siren Isle, and ends with you receiving the new catch-up ring Cyrce's Circlet.
Here's how to complete A Song of Secrets and unlock the Siren Isle in patch 11.0.7:
To turn in the first quest "Expedition Awaits," find Dawn inside the Foundation Hall in Dornogol. The first time you log in after WoW's reset, you will automatically be prompted with the first quest in this questline to unlock the Siren Isle.
Dawn will give you the quest "To the Siren Isle!" and prompt you to find Skaggit. There is now a Zeppelin in Dornogol to take players to the new zone.
The Zeppelin in Dornogol is only for your first time visiting the Siren Isle. After unlocking the new zone, players will travel to and from the Siren Isle using a Mole Machine. The Siren Isle Mole Machine is located in the Ringing Deeps just outside the main town of Gundargaz. (Blizzard, why isn't the mole machine just in Dornogol too?)
After arriving in the Siren Isle, turn the quest in to Skaggit and pick up "Friendly Competition," prompting players to find Bargus in the camp. Bargus will be your guide in the Siren Isle, showing you how to scan for crystals to upgrade Cyrce's Circlet.
Bargus will give you the quest "To Scan a Crystal" to build the crystal scanner. Players will be tasked with 7 objectives: Take and place the crystal box and then speak to Bargus again. Find the Earthen Prototype, the Ornate Arathi Box, and the Overcharged Battery, and then assemble the scanner.
After assembling the scanner, Bargus will give you the quest "Face-nating Signals." Meet him by the Crystal and activate the three pylons surrounding it.
The next two quests "The Second Signal" and "Cave Barging" are basically completed together. Simply follow Bargus north and clear out the cave entrance. Meet Bargus inside the cave to turn in the quest.
The next quest in the Siren Isle, "Buried Secrets", has players completed 6 objectives. Open the door and find the Crystalsworn Memory. Examine the Singing Tablet. Examine 6 Ancient Memory tablets in the ruins. Investigate the Runic Symbol, and finally follow Bargus into the last room.
"The Radiant Vault" finally unlocks the ring Cyrce's Circlet. After Bargus opens the vault, inspect the skeletal remains. Pick up the Rune-Carved Ring and it will trigger combat with the Tomb Guardian. Defeat the boss and loot the Cracked Citrine. Talk to Bargus again to leave the tomb with both the ring and your first gem.
Next, talk to Angorla in base camp to help her repair the cracked Citrine in "Reforged Anew." The Cracked Citrine will be reforged into the Windsinger's Runed Citrine. This is a 619-item level gem that grants 1,760 secondary stat.
Finally, players will finish this introductory questline with the quest The Circlet Calls, prompting players to equip the ring and teaching you how to socket and unsocket the ring. Completing this quest will unlock the world quests and other events in the Siren Isle.
Here is a summary of how to unlock the Siren Isle:
The Expedition Awaits - Meet Skaggit at the Zeppelin in Dornogol
To the Siren Isle! - Take the Zeppelin to the Siren Isle
Friendly Competition - Find Bargus at the base camp
To Scan a Crystal - Assemble the crystal scanner
Facet-nating Crystals - Activate the pylons
The Second Signal - Follow Bargus
Cave Barging - Clear out the cave entrance
Buried Secrets - Investigate the ruins
The Radiant Vault - Defeat the guardian and pick up the ring and gem
Reforged Anew - Repair the cracked citrine
The Circlet Calls - Equip the ring and learn how to socket/unsocket
Although this sounds like a long questline, Blizzard says this introductory questline should only take 20-30 minutes. Then players can explore the rest of the island and take part in expeditions.
Players will continue using the Scanner they crafted to find other gems for Cyrce's Circlet around the Siren Isle. There is an achievement - A Choir of Citrines - to collect all 12 unique Citrine gems hidden around the Siren Isle.
Storm Sewer's Citrine
Mariner's Hallowed Citrine
Seabed Leviathan's Citrine
Stormbringer's Citrine
Windsinger's Citrine
Undersea Overseer's Citrine
Old Salt's Bardic Citrine
Legendary Skipper's Citrine
Roaring War Queen's Citrine
Fathomdweller's Runed Citrine
Thunderlord's Crackling Citrine
Squall Sailor's Citrine
More Siren Isle & Patch 11.0.7 Guides
Patch 11.0.7 releases on December 17th and brings more than the Siren Isle. Blizzard also added a new meta-achievement mount for Battle for Azeroth, Jani's Trashpile. This is one of the few mounts where you transform into the mount upon summoning.
Players can also farm out the meta-achievement for The War Within - You Xal Not Pass - rewarding players with the Shadow of Doubt mount.
