Ecological Succession in The War Within is one of the world activities added in Season 3. You’re helping Ve’nari and her allies restore balance inside a sealed eco-dome called The Oasis. Each week you’ll capture species from Azeroth, introduce them into the dome, and stabilize their environment.
So, since the rewards are good, it might be worth completing it, for example, the Curious Slateback mount. Plus, there are achievements and reputation gains tied to The K’aresh Trust.
How to Start Ecological Succession in TWW
To unlock ecological succession, you’ll need to progress through the K’aresh campaign. Once you finish Chapter 4, head to Om’talad near the Tazavesh Inn. There you can pick up the quest The Oasis, which begins the introductory chain.
The intro serves as your orientation in The Oasis. You’ll meet Ve’nari and her team, learn about the dome, and start by bringing in your first species: the honey bees. This questline introduces you to the mechanics and unlocks the ecological succession weekly quest. From here on, your Warband has access to the system permanently.
Progress is Warband-wide, so unlocking animals or experts on one character will carry over to all your alts.
The Weekly Quest Explained
Once you’ve completed the intro and added your first species, every reset you’ll receive the Ecological Succession weekly quest inside The Oasis. This quest is flexible: instead of one fixed task, you can complete it by contributing through multiple types of activities, such as:
- Helping experts with their weekly assignments.
- Watering plants or stabilizing soil inside the dome.
- Collecting data from drones scattered around the area.
- Depositing anima gathered from the Devourer Attack world event.
Every week you’ll be nudged toward expanding The Oasis, capturing new species, adding experts, or shoring up the balance of the eco-dome.
Ecological Succession Rewards
The big draw is the Wriggling Pinnacle Cache, which you get for completing the weekly. The cache contains:
- Gear and Upgrade Items: Veteran track gear, Carved Ethereal Crests, Resonance Crystals.
- Currency: Gold and Valorstones rewards for upgrading gear.
- Cosmetics: Pets and mount.
The Curious Slateback Mount
The highlight reward is the Curious Slateback. The only way is through the Wriggling Pinnacle Cache each week. Since it’s RNG, expect to farm for multiple resets before securing it.
Pets
Several pets can also drop from the cache. These add variety to The Oasis ecosystem and count toward achievements. While none have confirmed drop rates, they’re considered fairly common compared to the mount.
Species in The Oasis
Over time, you’ll introduce up to seven species into your eco-dome:
- Honey Bees
- Thorntails
- Rays
- Snakes
- Slatebacks
- Lapbugs
- K’arrocs
Each species matters for achievements and expands the ecosystem. Some are tied to little challenges, while others unlock additional daily quests that give reputation or cosmetic rewards.
Achievements in Ecological Succession
- Ecological Stability: Fully integrate all species into the dome.
- Ecological Variety: Do at least one daily for each species.
- Otherworldly Ecologist: Complete the storylines for each creature type.
- Expertly Done: Recruit a team of experts to help in the Oasis.
- Brokers Don’t Care How You Win: Beat the two Oasis racing challenges.
These culminate into the achievement Ecological Succession, which tracks your progress across the whole feature.
Final Thoughts
We all know the opening with the bees is rough: long, repetitive, and not exactly the most fun way to start a new feature. A lot of players felt the same.
The good part is that once you’re past that intro, the weekly setup is much more manageable. It’s Warband-wide, so you don’t need to repeat it on alts, and the cache gives steady rewards: Valorstones to pets and the Curious Slateback mount. And the K'aresh Trust rep makes the weekly worth doing.
You don’t have to suffer through the grind yourself. Our WoW Ecological Succession Boost is designed exactly for this. With the help of our pros, you can skip the frustrating repetition and focus on enjoying what the Oasis truly offers: achievements like Otherworldly Ecologist, Expertly Done, and Brokers Don’t Care How You Win, along with unlocking all creatures for Ecological Stability. From daily quests with Ecological Variety to completing the entire storyline, everything is handled smoothly and efficiently.
So yes, the beginning leaves a bad taste, but with a reliable boost service on your side, you can enjoy the rewards.
