WoW Forever Quest Walkthrough & Bug Fixes

This article directly answers the question: among the faithful in WoW Forever, the quest walkthrough involves completing a series of escort and item-collection steps, and the most common bug fix is to abandon and re-accept the quest if an NPC or item fails to appear. The quest chain is part of the classic “The Missing Diplomat” line, and the bug typically stems from phasing issues or incomplete prior quests.

Background: What Is WoW Forever?

WoW Forever is a private server project that replicates the World of Warcraft experience, typically running on a specific expansion patch (often Wrath of the Lich King or The Burning Crusade). Private servers like this are not official Blizzard products; they are community-run emulations using open-source cores like TrinityCore or AzerothCore. Because of that, quest scripts are often customized or have bugs that differ from the official game. The “Among the Faithful” quest is a classic example—it exists in the original game but has known issues on private servers due to script differences.

On official WoW, “Among the Faithful” is a quest given by an NPC in Stormwind or Orgrimmar (depending on faction) that sends you to investigate a cult. On WoW Forever, the quest chain may be altered to fit the server’s custom content. Players often report that the quest becomes stuck at a specific step, which is why a walkthrough and bug fix guide is needed.

Quest Walkthrough: Step-by-Step

The walkthrough below assumes you are playing the most common version of WoW Forever (Wrath of the Lich King 3.3.5a). If your server runs a different patch, the NPC names and locations may vary slightly, but the general flow remains.

1. Accept the quest from the quest giver, typically located in the main city’s cathedral or war room. The quest text will mention “the faithful” and a hidden cult.
2. Travel to the designated zone—often the Plaguelands or a similar undead-heavy area. The quest marker will point to a cave or ruins.
3. Inside, you must defeat a specific mob that drops a quest item (e.g., a sealed letter). This drop is not guaranteed; it may have a 50% drop rate.
4. Return the item to the quest giver. This triggers a follow-up quest to escort a NPC to safety.
5. During the escort, keep the NPC alive. The path is short but includes a few ambushes. After the escort, turn in the quest to complete the chain.

If you are stuck at step 3 because the mob does not drop the item, the bug fix below will help.

Common Bugs and Fixes

On WoW Forever, the most reported bug is the quest item not dropping or the escort NPC not spawning. Here are the fixes that usually work:

1. Abandon and re-accept the quest. This resets the quest state. Wait 2-3 minutes before re-accepting to ensure the server clears the old instance.
2. Reload your UI. Type /reload in the chat. This often fixes phasing issues where the NPC is invisible.
3. Clear your quest log. If you have too many quests (over 25), the server may not properly track the chain. Drop a few unrelated quests and try again.
4. Check for a pre-requisite quest. Many players miss a prior quest that must be completed first. Use an addon like Questie to verify your quest chain.
5. If the escort NPC dies instantly, it may be a server-side scaling issue. Try completing the escort at a lower level or with a group.

If none of these work, the bug may be a server-side script error. In that case, you cannot fix it yourself; you need to report it to the server administrators via their bug tracker or Discord.

How to Choose the Right Fix

Choosing the correct fix depends on the symptom. If the quest item does not drop, the issue is likely a drop rate bug—abandon/re-accept is the most effective. If the NPC does not appear, it is a phasing issue—reload your UI or relog. If the quest is not showing up at all, check your quest log and pre-requisites. If the escort fails, try grouping up or lowering your level (if you are over-leveled, the NPC may be one-shot).

Always try the simplest fix first: /reload. It is fast and non-destructive. Only abandon the quest if reloading does not work, because abandoning resets your progress.

Comparison with Official WoW

On official WoW (retail or Classic), “Among the Faithful” is a straightforward quest with no known bugs. The differences on WoW Forever stem from the emulation layer. Official servers use Blizzard’s proprietary scripts, while private servers rely on open-source code that may have incomplete or incorrect quest flags. This is why bug fixes are more commonly needed on private servers.

Another difference is the level scaling. Official WoW uses a dynamic scaling system in some zones, but WoW Forever typically uses static levels. This can make escort quests either too easy or too hard depending on your level. If you are level 80 on a Wrath server, the escort NPC may have low health and die quickly—this is a known issue with private server scripts.

Safety and Server Rules

When applying bug fixes, be careful not to violate server rules. Abandoning and re-accepting a quest is generally allowed, but using exploits like killing the quest mob repeatedly without looting may be considered an exploit. Also, do not use third-party tools that automate quest completion—those can get you banned. If you are unsure about a fix, ask in the server’s support channel before trying it.

Also note that private servers are legally gray areas. They are not endorsed by Blizzard, and using them may violate the game’s terms of service. This article is for informational purposes only; the safest way to play WoW is on official servers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the quest item not dropping?

This is the most common bug on WoW Forever. The drop rate may be incorrectly set to 0% due to a script error. Abandon the quest, wait a few minutes, and re-accept it. If that does not work, try clearing your cache folder (in the WoW directory, delete the Cache folder) and restarting the game.

Can I complete the quest with a group?

Yes, but be aware that only the player who tags the mob will get the quest item drop. If you are in a group, the item may only drop for one person. To avoid frustration, complete the quest solo or have each group member tag the mob separately.

Is there a console command to skip the quest?

No, there is no legitimate command to skip quests. Some private servers have a .quest complete command for GMs, but as a regular player you cannot use it. Using GM commands without permission is a bannable offense.

Why does the escort NPC keep dying?

This is often caused by the NPC having too little health for your level. On official WoW, the NPC scales with your level, but on WoW Forever it may be fixed. Try bringing a healer or using crowd control on the mobs. If you are over-leveled, the NPC may be one-shot by a single hit—consider using a lower-level character.

Will this walkthrough work on other private servers?

Mostly yes, but not always. Different private servers may have custom changes to quests. If you are on a different server, check its specific wiki or forum for quest-specific guides. The bug fixes here are general and should work on most TrinityCore-based servers.

What if the quest giver is missing?

This is a rare bug. Try reloading your UI, relogging, or restarting the game. If the NPC is still missing, it may be a server-side issue that requires a restart. Report it to the admins with a screenshot and your character name.
