The release of Season of Discovery Phase 8 in World of Warcraft Classic brought the long-awaited New Avalon zone and with it, a full set of profession quests. Each major crafting profession has access to unique content, rewards, and powerful recipes but only if you know where to find them and how to complete their tasks.
From engineering gadgets to high-slot tailoring bags, rare cooking feasts, and powerful weapon enchants, here’s everything you need to know about profession quests in New Avalon.
Engineering quests in New Avalon
Goblin Tinkering
Start by visiting Fizzlefuse inside New Avalon to pick up Goblin Tinkering, a quest critical for engineers.
| Reward: Schematic: Tinkerbox |
| Required items: |
|---|
| 2 x Thorium Tube 1 x Truesilver Transformer 4 x Goblin Rocket Fuel 2 x Gyrochronatom |
These are classic engineering components, but you may want to prepare ahead of time or check the Auction House if your stock is low. Completing this unlocks the Tinkerbox, a core item used to craft other new engineering schematics.
A Pinch of Gunpowder
Another key quest for engineers is A Pinch of Gunpowder, also available in New Avalon.
| This quest gives you Prototype Nitro Boosts and sends you racing around New Avalon. You’ll need to reach five locations before time runs out: |
- Behind the Tavern
- Behind the Town Hall
- In front of the Prison
- Behind the Mage Tower
- Behind the Barracks
Speed is everything here, and the boosts help but familiarity with the layout of New Avalon is your best advantage.
Tailoring quest in New Avalon
Red is Not Dead
Tailors can pick up Red is Not Dead, which rewards the highly sought-after Pattern: Crimson Dawnwoven Bag, a 30-slot bind-on-equip bag.
| Required items: |
|---|
| Red Dye Red Rose Firebloom Blood of Heroes Crimson Bladeleaf |
Crimson Bladeleaf is a new herb found near Lake Mennar in Azshara, a zone with connections to the Blue Dragonflight. It’s unique to Season of Discovery Phase 8 and likely to become a key material in future tailoring crafts, so it’s worth farming extra.
Cooking quest in New Avalon
The Great Feast
Start The Great Feast quest at Chef Carrie Hearthfire in New Avalon. She asks for a range of meats and fish to help prepare feasts that grant buffs.
| Required ingredients: |
|---|
| 4 x Raw Rockscale Cod 4 x Raw Spotted Yellowtail 4 x Darkclaw Lobster 2 x Buzzard Wing 2 x Raptor Flesh 2 x Turtle Meat |
| Rewards: |
|---|
| 2 x Specklefin Feast 2 x Grand Lobster Banquet 4 x Exquisite Spices 8 x Holy Salts Carrie’s Cookbook |
Carrie’s Cookbook teaches you both Specklefin Feast and Grand Lobster Banquet, two powerful food buffs that will be useful throughout Phase 8 content and possibly inside the upcoming Scarlet Enclave raid.
Unlocking the Mage Tower for Enchanting
The Mage Tower in New Avalon contains some of the strongest weapon enchant formulas in Phase 8, but it’s locked behind a clever puzzle.
How to access the Mage Tower:
- Use the Scarlet Insignia to disguise yourself.
- Head to the Mage Tower within New Avalon.
- Run through the Stone Arches to gain the Mystical Refraction buff.
- This allows you to see colored crystals in the zone.
- Match the portal door’s color by blending crystal hues under the Floating Tree.
- Once matched correctly, the portal activates. Enter the tower.
Inside, you’ll need to avoid Distracted Scarlet Wizards while exploring for bookshelves that hold the new enchanting books.
Enchanting formulas and where to find them:
| Enchant Formula | Book Title |
|---|---|
| Formula: Enchant 2H Weapon – Grand Inquisitor | Who, What, Where, When, and Die! Five Keys to a Good Inquisition |
| Formula: Enchant Weapon – Grand Crusader | If You Give a Crusader an Enchant |
| Formula: Enchant Weapon – Grand Sorcerer | World of Wardcraft |
| Formula: Enchant 2H Weapon – Grand Arcanist | From Arcanist to Archmage |
To learn the enchant:
- Loot the book
- Disenchant the book
- Use 15 Illusion Dust and 1 Righteous Orb to learn the enchant
These enchants are exclusive to Season of Discovery Phase 8 and offer powerful effects for weapons, making them a top priority for any enchanter.
