The lead-in questline that opens The Coiled Isle in WoW Midnight Season 2 is already live in the game, so you can clear most of it before the servers change over. Running it now means you jump straight into the new content once Zul’jan’s story continues on the island, instead of working through older chapters first.
Quick answer: Get a character to level 90, travel to Silvermoon City, and accept Hagar’s Invitation from Orweyna at coordinates 45.4, 70. That single quest begins the Legacy of the Amani chain that leads to The Coiled Isle.
Requirements to begin the questline
You only need to be level 90 and have finished or skipped the main level-up storyline. You do not need to be caught up on the later story to start this chain. Even a level 90 character that has not completed The War of Light and Shadow can pick up the opening quest for The Curse of Ula’tek, which sits inside the Legacy of the Amani storyline.
There is a breadcrumb quest that usually points you here through the in-game Adventure Guide, so check there if Orweyna does not have a quest marker yet. A portal to Harandar also helps, since the chain sends you there early on.

The Maisara Caverns dungeon step
The only part that can slow you down is Maisara Caverns: Master of Souls, which requires a fresh run of the dungeon even if you have cleared it before. Rather than waiting in a group queue, you can complete it as a Follower Dungeon with an NPC party. Counting that dungeon, the whole chain takes a couple of hours at most.
How to confirm you finished the lead-in
Once you clear Dead End and the rest of the chain, your work is done for now. If the Patch 12.1 content has not gone live yet, your quest log will show The Curse of Ula’tek with the objective “Wait for a lead on Zul’jan’s whereabouts.” That message confirms you are fully prepared, and the questline continues automatically when the new content arrives.
If Orweyna offers no quest, the usual cause is a character below level 90 or one that has not reached the point where the level-up story is finished or skipped. Meet that requirement and the starting quest becomes available.
Patch 12.1, Curse of Ula’tek, goes live the week of August 11, 2026, with Midnight Season 2 following the week of August 18. Clearing this chain in advance means the moment the island opens, you can head east of Zul’Aman with Zul’jarra and start on The Coiled Isle without backtracking through earlier steps.
