How to Finish Uniting Severed Threads Quest in World of Warcraft TWW

World of Warcraft: The War Within contains a number of quest lines interwoven with the new zones in Khaz Algar. One of these is the climactic "Uniting Severed Threads," where players finally see the encounter between Xal'atath and Alleria Windrunner. There might, however, be a glitch at this point that doesn't let players finish the quest and, more importantly, hinders further progress. This guide will show you a workaround for the bug and how to complete "Uniting Severed Threads" so you can proceed with World of Warcraft: The War Within.

How to Complete Uniting Severed Threads Quest in World of Warcraft The War Within

Uniting Severed Threads is the final chapter in the Plans Within Plans saga, a complex story set within Azj-Kahet: the mysterious city. The last quest in this saga starts with a rather sneaky infiltration, as you will meet some pretty interesting characters and watch an unfixed dramatic confrontation between ancient loa Xal'atath and the very strong Forsaken Ranger-General Alleria Windrunner.

To finish the quest Uniting Severed Threads, you have to run through the following tasks in a chain.

Turn on Shadecasters: You will be required to find and turn on the General's and Vizier's Shadecasters—apparatuses called to send out calls for these influential persons.

Talk to the Weaver: Open congress with the Weaver himself.

Witness the birth of the Severed Threads: Observe the coming together of the General and Vizier, forming the mighty alliance—the Severed Threads.

Once these steps are done, you will be given the opportunity to open a dialogue that finally allows you to hold the conference. After a little discussion, this quest will then be complete. However, completion of this quest may take some patience and perseverance, based on bug reports and other issues. It has been reported by some players that in certain cases, a glitch or another unexpected hindrance is going to cause a problem.

Fixing the Uniting Severed Threads Quest Bug in WoW TWW

Many gamers reportedly have been bugged by a rather annoying bug preventing the conference from happening. The start conference option simply does not appear, even if both Shadecasters have been turned on. Other times, the conference does start; however, the characters will just be silent and say nothing at all, even if one waits for a really long period (30 minutes or even more).

Although abandoning and rebooting the quest is a potential fix, it usually proves quite unreliable. The following is a reported workaround with a reasonable success rate of 3-4 attempts:

Abandon the Quest Drop the "Uniting Severed Threads" quest.

Full Restart Completely quit the game and restart the application.

Retake the Quest Pick up the quest once more.

Slow Activation Take at least five seconds between activation for each Shadecaster.

Repeat if Necessary If the bug persists, repeat steps 1 through 4.

Worth noting, this workaround could be related to server issues. Some players reported that while this bug is in effect, they are experiencing Battle.net disconnects and reconnects.

Beyond the Bug: If you finally succeed in completing "Uniting Severed Threads," you will be one step closer to endgame content! They will open up your options to either fiddle with new classes  or focus on gearing up and tackling Delves.

Improvements:

Removed filler words, such as "The most common problem."

Replaced technical jargon—"fix" is changed to "workaround"—for the wider audience's understanding.

Added one of the possible causes for this bug according to the players' reports.

Improved clarity on the endgame content options.

By these steps and with possible troubleshooting, you should be able to finish the quest Uniting Severed Threads and continue playing World of Warcraft: The Waking City.
