Embark on Epic Quests: A Gamer’s Guide to Triumphant Adventures
So, you see yourself as a hero? Think you can face the toughest quests in video games? Get ready, because we are going into the amazing world of quests. These are not just basic tasks. They involve dragons, gods, and maybe a cranky NPC needing bear asses. Let’s start questing!
Shaman Quests: Harnessing the Elements and Looking Cool Doing It
Shamans are masters of the elements. They connect the physical and spiritual realms. In games, they often heal their allies. If you want to follow the Shaman path, here’s a list of key quests:
Shaman Artifact Quest (World of Warcraft)
Want to wield powerful artifacts? In World of Warcraft: Legion, Shamans obtain iconic weapons through a specific questline. Here’s how it starts:
- Starting Point: Dalaran. After doing Legion’s intro quests, go to Dalaran.
- The Call to Adventure: Look for a member of your Shaman order. They have a mysterious message about elemental imbalance and will give you the Artifact Weapon quest. Accept it, unless you like boring quests.
Shaman Mount Quest (World of Warcraft)
No more plain ground mounts. Shamans ride the winds, so prepare for a special mount quest!
- Gathering of the Storms: To earn this magnificent mount, you must complete the “Gathering of the Storms” scenario. Help Prince Thunderaan in the Throne of the Four Winds.
- Thunderaan’s Task: Once inside, talk to Thunderaan. He’ll explain what you need to do. Pay attention; elementals don’t repeat themselves.
Unlocking Shaman (Tactics Ogre: Reborn)
Diving into Tactics Ogre: Reborn? Want to add a Shaman? Here’s how:
- Apocrypha Sidequest & Temple Guardians: Start the Apocrypha Sidequest and deal with Temple Guardians inside. Defeat them to earn 3 Shaman Classmarks.

Becoming a Shaman (General Lore)
Curious about being a Shaman outside of gaming? It’s more than just pressing buttons.
- Chosen by Spirits: Becoming a Shaman takes being selected by spirits. They don’t answer calls; they choose.
- Adolescent Awakening: Future Shamans know spirits during puberty. Spirit-induced adolescence is not as painful as braces. When exactly? Spirits choose.
Shaman in Raid Shadow Legends
Free champions in gacha games? Definitely! Raid Shadow Legends rewards you early on.
- Login Reward Epic: Shaman is your first free champion just for logging in! It’s like a participation trophy, but free epics are great.
- Seven Days of Dedication: Log in for seven days, and Shaman is yours. Simple! Just remember to actually play after.
Elemental Shaman Race (World of Warcraft)
Choosing a race is like picking a starter Pokémon – it’s important but maybe not critical. Some races are better for Elemental Shamans:
- Top Tier Choices: Tauren and Dwarf are strong options. They give a nice 2% critical damage boost.
- The Vulpera Question Mark: Vulpera are cute but not top options for Elemental Shamans. Choose them for love, not DPS.
Venturing Beyond Shamans: A Medley of Must-Do Quests
Shamans are great, but many other quests await! Let’s review noteworthy ones across different games:
