You can't just jump straight into skipping the campaign on your alts. First, you need to finish specific tasks with at least one character to unlock this feature for your entire account.
Prerequisites for Unlocking the Skip
Complete Chapter 3 on Your Main
Your primary character needs to complete the full third chapter of the main questline. The final quest here is called "The Tabiqa," and it rewards you with the Reshii Wraps artifact cloak. This quest is your gateway to the skip system, so don't stop here.
Finish the Phase Diving Tutorial
After completing "The Tabiqa," head to the Oasis where an NPC named Shad'anis will approach you. She'll offer the quest "Another World," which takes you back to Overlook Zo'Shuul (that small island you visited briefly in Chapter 2).
This follow-up questline teaches you how Phase Diving works and shows you how to upgrade your Reshii Wraps using Ethereal Strands. More importantly, it gives you the achievement "Become a Hero. Become a Phasediver!" You absolutely need this achievement to unlock the skip feature.
This achievement is mandatory for unlocking the campaign skip feature on alt characters.
How to Skip the Campaign on Alts
Your alt characters can't immediately access the skip. They'll need to play through some initial quests first.
Play Until "Return to the Veiled Market"
Start the campaign normally with your alt and progress until you complete the quest "Return to the Veiled Market." This is the last quest you'll need to do manually.
Choose the Skip Option
When you finish "Return to the Veiled Market," you'll get offered the next quest called "Restoring Operational Efficiency." But now you'll see an additional dialogue option that lets you skip the entire remaining campaign. Select this instead of taking the regular quest.
The skip gives your alt access to World Quests in K'aresh and everything else that normally unlocks from campaign completion. However, there's one major catch.
Getting Your Reshii Wraps (Important!)
The campaign skip doesn't give you the Reshii Wraps cloak automatically. You'll need to get it manually, and this trips up a lot of players.
Find Hashim at Overlook Zo'Shuul
Fly to Overlook Zo'Shuul and look for an NPC named Hashim at coordinates 50.3, 36.3 (zone 2371). When you talk to him, you'll see a dialogue option specifically for giving your alt the Reshii Wraps. Select that option and you'll get your cloak.
Upgrade Immediately
Once you have the cloak, talk to Hashim again to upgrade it. Since Ethereal Strands work across your entire Warband, any upgrade materials you've collected on other characters will be available right away. This means your alt can immediately match the upgrade level of your main character.
Why This System Works So Well
The skip saves you tons of time on alt characters. Instead of running through three full chapters plus the Phase Diving tutorial, your alts only need to reach "Return to the Veiled Market" before they can access endgame content.
Resource Sharing Benefits
The Warband-wide Ethereal Strands system means you won't need to farm upgrade materials separately for each character. Any strands you collect benefit your entire roster.
Smart Planning
If you're planning to level multiple alts, prioritize completing both the main campaign and Phase Diving questline on your primary character first. This upfront investment pays off with massive time savings on every subsequent alt.
Don't Make These Mistakes
- Forgetting to manually collect Reshii Wraps from Hashim
- Skipping Phase Diving tutorial on main character
- Not knowing where Overlook Zo'Shuul is located
- Missing the skip dialogue option entirely
- Complete everything on main character first
- Remember Hashim's coordinates (50.3, 36.3)
- Upgrade cloak immediately after collecting
- Plan alt progression strategically
Forgetting the Cloak
The biggest mistake players make is forgetting to manually collect the Reshii Wraps from Hashim. The game doesn't remind you or guide you to this step, so you need to remember it yourself.
Skipping Phase Diving on Your Main
Some players finish Chapter 3 and think they're done, but you need that "Become a Hero. Become a Phasediver!" achievement to unlock the skip feature. Don't skip the Phase Diving questline on your main character.
Not Knowing Where to Go
Alts who use the skip might not know where Overlook Zo'Shuul is since they didn't visit it during the normal campaign. Make sure you know how to get there (coordinates 50.3, 36.3 in zone 2371) and look for Hashim specifically.
This skip system lets experienced players manage multiple characters efficiently while making sure important gear like the Reshii Wraps doesn't get missed. Just remember the manual cloak collection step and you'll have your alts ready for endgame content in no time.
