Week 1 Survival Guide

Work on completing the questline of the Argus Campaign (You Are Now Prepared!), so you're not behind on unlocking the dungeon and Netherlight Crucible.

Continue to farm Army of the Light and Argussian Reach reputation. The World Quests unlocked in Week 2 should provide Argussian Reach reputation. Don’t forget to get the Darkmoon Faire Rep Buffs to speed things up!

Farm Fel-Spotted Egg from Panthara in the hopes they will hatch into Mana Ray Mounts and Pets 5 days later.

Work towards achievements needed for Paragon of Argus, such as Shoot First, Loot Later to open hidden treasure chests. With more Matrix Powers unlocked in Week 2, more chests should be openable.

Kill every rare spawn once for Commander of Argus, which unlocks new holy-themed transmog weapons in Arsenal: Weapons of the Lightforged.

Anglers have several projects - fish the waters of Argus for the Pond Nettle mount and grind reputation with the daily Fisherfriend to unlock Underlight Emerald.

After questing through Dark Awakenings, players receive the questline from Illidan to unlock Invasions.

Lesser Invasions take 3-10 players and can reward Unsullied gear, a large AP token, ~40 Veiled Argunite, ~3 Argus Waystone, and items for Fuel of a Doomed World. These are usually up 6 hours.

Once 15 Argus Waystone are collected, you can complete Invasion Point Offensive and unlock Greater Invasion Points.

Greater Invasions are up for a week and contain a world boss which drops ilvl 930 loot.

Defeating all the possible Lesser Invasion bosses rewards Envision Invasion Eradication, and all the Greater Invasion bosses rewards Invasion Obliteration. Both of these achievements are required for Paragon of Argus.

Earlier today there was a bug where defeating the Greater Invasion REDUCED your Army of the Light rep. This has since been fixed and please contact BlizzardCS about the missing reputation.

Comment by ExcelionWhat's the long-term purpose for Argus Waystones, if they continue to drop and show up in our World Quests, other than the initial turn 15 in to unlock? That Invasion Point Offensive quest isn't flagged as a weekly so I don't see any indication of it requiring 15 each week

Side note: mats for Gravitational Reduction Slippers seem excessive for a 3 minute consumable. Could at least remove the Primal Sargerite from it, or make it last for 2 hours like old Broken Isles ones (Duration quadrupled for Engineer)Comment by Crimelord78What happened to the 2 stat gems that were coming out did blizzard scrap them.Comment by perculiaWhat happened to the 2 stat gems that were coming out did blizzard scrap them.What's the long-term purpose for Argus Waystones, if they continue to drop and show up in our World Quests, other than the initial turn 15 in to unlock?
