Reward of The Molten Front Offensive: open every stage of the Firelands Invasion dailies, which start at the Sanctuary of Malorne in Mount Hyjal and carry on through the portal into the Molten Front. Each stage is paid for with Marks of the World Tree from the dailies, 695 in all, so it is about a month of daily visits. The mount then comes by mail from Malfurion Stormrage.

Guide Wowhead: A Guide to the Molten Front and Respective Quests
Before you go
- Mount Hyjal's own quests, at least as far as Aessina's Miracle, after which the forces gather at the Sanctuary of Malorne · about 2 h
- 695 Marks of the World Tree from the dailies, spent in this order: 20 for Calling for Reinforcements, which leads through the portal (Through the Gates of Hell); 150 each to recruit the Druids of the Talon and the Shadow Wardens; 125 each for the armorer, the ancients and the moonwell (Additional Armaments, Calling the Ancients, Filling the Moonwell) · about 12 h over 5 weeks
- Two one-off quests on the way: Need... Water... Badly... (save Anren Shadowseeker, among the Druids of the Talon dailies) and Little Lasher (from the seed a Druid of the Flame leaves behind, among the Shadow Wardens dailies) · about 0.5 h
In all: about 14.5 h of play, spread over 5 weeks, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Mount Hyjal 27 62.7 - Take the portal from Eastern Earthshrine to Mount Hyjal
- Fly the rest of the way
- Fly there
/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight
line and 30 seconds for a portal.
Notes and sources
The portal to the Molten Front is at 27.5, 56.4 on Nordune Ridge. The nine things the achievement asks for are all unlocks in that one chain of dailies; nothing in it is left to chance. The time on the spot is one day's round of dailies, an estimate.
How long it takes:
- the wiki's two pages disagree on the first 20 marks (one day or three)
- an Icy Veins guide gives 1 + 14 + 15 = 30 days; it could not be opened, and the figure was seen only in a search excerpt
- Wowhead's guide to the Molten Front (a player's guide, last updated 2018) puts the fastest time to open everything at 29 days with every daily done every day; its level 85 requirement was written before level scaling
Nothing was found to say the dailies have been shortened since Cataclysm, and none of this was confirmed in the game. With both groups recruited only one of the two sets of dailies can be done each day, so the two one-off quests need a day on each side.
Marks are a currency of the character doing the dailies; whether they can be moved between characters was not looked up. The achievement has been account-wide since patch 11.0. The journal's second line is only the achievement's category.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
