Nightmare Incursions are PvE events that occur near the Emerald Dream portals in Feralas, Duskwood, Ashenvale, and the Hinterlands. They involve battling mobs both near the portals and traversing the portals to kill enemies, gather resources, or defeat bosses within. Participating in Nightmare Incursions will earn reputation with the Emerald Wardens.

The Duskwood incursion is level 25, the Ashenvale incursion is level 40, and the Feralas and Hinterlands incursions are level 50.

Traversing an Emerald Dream portal gives the character the Inv misc head dragon green.png Emerald Nightmare buff and allows them to explore the familiar zone with new Dream-like qualities. Large, translucent foliage grows everywhere, and the creatures within are similar to their real-world versions with new qualities. Attempting to walk too far from the Dream portal's location afflicts the character with Spell shadow soulleech 1.png Out of Bounds.

Various patches of Dream Fog drift around the zones, applying Spell nature abolishmagic.png Dream Fog, a stacking slow.

If the character dies during an incursion, entering a Gate to reach the Emerald Dream again is unnecessary - characters that resurrect will still find themselves in the Dream.

Duskwood incursion

The Duskwood incursion includes the area between the Twilight Grove, Vul'Gol Ogre Mound, Yorgen Farmstead, and Rotting Orchard. Attempting to leave the bounds of this area will teleport you back to the crossroad between Duskwood and Stranglethorn Vale. Worgen are haunting the Rotting Orchard, protecting the  [Shadowscythe], an ephemeral echo of the Scythe of Elune. Corrupted Green dragonflight members have laid eggs around the Yorgen Farmstead. A group of demented Splinter Fist ogres are haunting the alternate version of their mound, their magi ranting about their madness.

The available natural resources within this section of the Dream are  [Cold Iron Ore] and  [Nightmare Moss].

Ashenvale incursion

The Ashenvale incursion includes the area between the Bough Shadow, Forest Song, Satyrnaar, and the Warsong Lumber Camp. Corrupted green dragonflight members have laid eggs around Forest Song. The Dreamfire sect of satyrs is holding to an ancient  [Azsharan Prophecy] at Satyrnaar. More odd, a group of goblins seemingly willingly crossed into the Emerald Dream to try to harvest it with their supercharged shredders. Boss "Gobb" Goldnick keeps watch on his  [Dreamengine], but vengeful treants have risen to attack the Warsong Lumber Camp in spite. South of the Lumber Camp is a Nightmare Amalgamation, related to the mysterious Shadowy Figure of Moonglade.

The available natural resources within this section of the Dream are  [Fool's Gold Dust] and  [Dreamroot].

Feralas incursion

The Ruins of Ravenwind.

The Feralas incursion includes the area between the Dream Bough-Jademir Lake region, Oneiros, the Twin Colossals, and the Ruins of Ravenwind. Attempting to leave the bounds of this area will teleport you back to the Ruins of Ravenwind, unless you try getting to Desolace, in which case you will simply return to reality. Corrupted green dragonflight members have laid eggs around Oneiros. The Dreamspring group of harpies is holding to some delirious rantings of their "Harpy Queen" at the Ruins of Ravenwind. More worrisome, a group of lost sons and daughters of Cenarius can be found roaming around the Twin Colossals, their mad Keeper having written some battle plans against an unclear enemy.

The available natural resources within this section of the Dream are  [Greater Moonstone] and  [Moonroot].

Hinterlands incursion

The Hinterlands incursion includes the area between Seradane, Shaol'watha, Agol'watha, and Skulk Rock. Attempting to leave the bounds of this area will teleport you back to the bridge at Skulk Rock. Corrupted green dragonflight members have laid eggs around Agol'watha. The giant turtles of Shaol'watha have hidden several Dreampearls there, recovered from the Dreaming Sea, but their starshell might help reverse the damages done to the Dream.[1] The fallen wildkin at Skulk Rock are protecting the  [Elunar Relic], a lost gift from Elune to their people.

The available natural resources within this section of the Dream are  [Starsilver Ore] and  [Star Lotus].
