World of Warcraft (WoW) is more than just a game; it’s a legendary experience that has been around for nearly two decades. WoW is known for its rich lore, epic battles, and iconic locations. Among these is Dalaran, the floating city that has served as a hub. The Dalaran Hearthstone is an in-game item that lets you quickly teleport back to Dalaran. However, when this so-called “toy” stops working, you are unable to teleport. That being said, let’s see what is up with this item and how you can fix it.
The Dalaran Hearthstone lets you teleport to the Legion-era Dalaran, but it often doesn’t work on max-level characters unless they’ve completed the quest “In the Blink of an Eye.” Many players find the quest unavailable due to level restrictions, making the hearthstone unusable with the message “You can’t use that right now.” You too might have been facing the same. So, here is all you need to know about it.
Dalaran Hearthstone toy not working (World of Warcraft): How to fix it
First of all, there’s no one-size-fits-all fix for this problem, as it can vary depending on your character’s progression and level. However, the WoW community has come up with several workarounds that can help. While these methods aren’t guaranteed to work for everyone, they might help you make your Dalaran Hearthstone usable again.
Basic Checks
Before attempting any complex fixes, start with the basics: restart your game and then restart your device. This simple step can resolve many issues by refreshing the game’s connection and clearing temporary glitches. If this does not fix the issue, move on with the players’ suggested workarounds listed below.
Broken?
It is possible that the Dalaran Hearthstone is currently bugged and only activates when your character enters Dalaran. To fix this, fly to Stormwind or Orgrimmar and use the portal to Dalaran—there’s a portal available during the pre-patch event, often located near the auction house in Stormwind. Once you arrive in Dalaran, the hearthstone should start working properly.
Mission Board
To resolve the issue with the Dalaran Hearthstone, visit the mission board and obtain the quest for the Broken Shore. Talk to the NPC and select the option indicating you’ve heard the story before. This action will teleport you to Dalaran, where you can turn in a quest to receive the Dalaran Hearthstone toy. Completing this process will unlock the hearthstone’s functionality, and it should work correctly afterward.
In the Blink of an Eye
To make the Dalaran Hearthstone toy functional, you need to complete the quest “In the Blink of an Eye.” You can start this quest without using Chromie Time by interacting with a Mission Board in your faction’s capital city. Completing this quest will unlock the hearthstone’s functionality for your character.
Play rogue!
One player leveled up rogue from 10 to 70 using the Echoes event, and the Dalaran Hearthstone toy worked for them despite not completing any Legion quests. This also applied to their Evoker, who had a similar experience. It appears that leveling through the Echoes event doesn’t mess up with the Dalaran Hearthstone toy.
Azsuna Portal
A practical workaround for fixing the Dalaran Hearthstone issue involves flying manually to Dalaran from the Azsuna portal in your faction’s portal room. This often triggers the missing quest or unlocks the hearthstone’s functionality. For those struggling with garrison hearthstones, it’s important to note that garrisons don’t fully exist until you’ve completed the initial questline in Warlords of Draenor, so make sure you’ve built your garrison first. Alternatively, you can always use the Ashran portal, which remains a reliable, if less convenient, travel option.
Legion Missions
Another quick workaround is to accept the Legion intro mission from the warbird in your faction’s capital city and immediately skip the scenario, which is faster than flying from Azsuna. For new players dealing with garrison issues, it’s important to note that the lengthy Warlords of Draenor intro questline is not required to access the garrison. Simply cancel the initial WoD quest, jump through the portal, and complete a few short quests—usually around six—to set up your garrison and obtain the garrison hearthstone without the extra hassle.
Check these
For characters unable to use the Dalaran and Garrison hearthstones, the issue often arises from not obtaining the original items. To get the Dalaran Hearthstone, simply speak with the innkeeper in the Legerdemain Lounge in Dalaran (Broken Isles); no quest is required. For the Garrison Hearthstone, you must complete the Warlords of Draenor introduction up to the point of building your garrison. If you’re unsure whether you’ve completed the necessary quests, you can check using the following scripts based on your faction:
- Alliance: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(34586))
- Horde: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(34378))
These commands will confirm if your character has finished the required quest.
Bags and Toy Box
If you’re having trouble using the Dalaran or Garrison hearthstones, ensure you’re accessing them from the Toy Box rather than your bags. Using these items directly from the Toy interface often resolves the issue, as players sometimes mistakenly keep old versions in their inventory that don’t function correctly.
Old Versions
Old versions of the hearthstones might be broken, so if you haven’t already, try deleting or storing them. If using the toys doesn’t resolve the issue, go through the portal in your capital city and then attempt to use the hearthstones again—this has worked for some characters who encountered similar problems.
Heroe’s Call Board
To resolve the issue with the Dalaran Hearthstone, go to the Heroes’ Call Board in your capital city and look for a quest related to fighting the Legion or the Broken Shore. It can be tricky, as you may need to accept and complete several quests before the right one appears. Once you get the quest (assuming you’ve completed it before), it will direct you to the quartermaster at the docks in Stormwind. Accept the quest and speak to the NPC again, where you should see red text indicating you’ve seen this before. This should teleport you to Dalaran and trigger the quest text to reward you with the Dalaran Hearthstone, which you should be able to use without any issues
Required quest
If you’re still having trouble with the Dalaran Hearthstone, try running the command /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(44663)) to check if the required quest is marked as completed in your log. If this quest isn’t completed, the hearthstone may not function properly. If the quest is completed and the hearthstone still doesn’t work, you should consider filing a bug report to address the issue.
Well, those are some effective workarounds that should be able to fix the issue with Dalaran Hearthstone. Well, if you find this guide informative, consider visiting DigiStatement for more such interesting guides! Read more: EA Team Builder not working: How to fix it
