WoW The War Within: Phase Diving guide (11.2)

After you unlock Reshii Wraps in WoW The War Within, you can immediately start the quest chain to unlock Phase Diving. Both the Reshii Wraps themselves and Phase Diving were introduced in patch 11.2. However, that means you can’t take part in this activity properly until you have reached at least Chapter 3 of the main campaign, called Knife’s Edge.

Once you’ve unlocked your Reshii Wraps, I recommend making a beeline to unlock Phase Diving. There is an easy Weekly Quest you can do for amazing ensembles and a few mounts you can’t get anywhere else. Not to mention, it’s just a fun activity. Here’s how to take part in Phase Diving in WoW The War Within.

How to unlock Phase Diving and how it works in WoW The War Within

Once you have your Reshii Wraps, there’s a quest that will spawn right next to your location in WoW, which introduces Phase Diving: Another World. Just open your map and look for the Purple Triangle icon near you. This starts a short quest chain that will introduce all the important concepts of Phase Diving.

Another World will send you to Shad’anis at Overlook Zo’Shuul, and then you’ll take on The Untethered Void, which introduces using the Phase Conduit platforms. Just enter Untethered Space, and come back to complete it.

Then you have What Doesn’t See You, and you’ll learn about creatures that are only visible while Phase Diving. You’ll kill a few of them, gather some Phase Energy, and come back.

You will also do The Untethered Horror quest as a part of the Phase Diving tutorial in WoW. Nearby, there’s a creature known as Netherdeath; just enter Untethered Space and slay it - not especially difficult.

While you’re here, you may as well do the Wrapped Up quest if you haven’t already. This is how you upgrade your Reshii Wraps, making it fairly important. To enter Untethered Space, you need to find one of these platforms that are scattered across the map. You can see them in the screenshot above.

After standing on one and interacting with it, you can click it again to open up a transportation guide. You can teleport to any of the other Conduit Platforms, except Vanquisher’s Wake.

Technically, there’s another way to enter the Untethered Space: Untethered Xy’bucha, a potion that drops in the Shadowguard camps while Phase Diving. Also, do remember that you cannot mount while Phase Diving, until you upgrade your Cape to Rank 4 (Orbs of Power).

I haven’t seen one drop yet, but I do know they exist. You can leave the Untethered Space by heading to a Conduit Platform and use the Exit Phase Diving spell. However, it’s possible that you’ll get lost and have no idea where the closest platform is. You can also just right-click the Phase Diving buff to immediately leave.

There’s a Weekly Quest you can do for Phase Diving in WoW, called More Than Just a Phase. Completing any activity within the Untethered Space (killing enemies, World Quests, looting treasures, etc.) will give you progress towards it.

Completing it will give you 7 Untethered Coins and 300 K’areshi Trust reputation. You can find this Weekly Quest at Overlook Zo’Shuul from Shad’anis or from Constable Zo’ardaz in Tazavesh. You can use these coins to unlock quite a few neat cosmetics and mounts from Shad'anis.
