Although most endgame World of Warcraft players are currently busy powering through the max level Shadowlands content, there are plenty of players who are still exploring other parts of Azeroth for the first time. Heroes of the Horde or Alliance who want to continue their adventures through the Battle for Azeroth regions will likely want to unlock World Quests in those zones at some point.
Unlocking World Quests for any World of Warcraft expansion is a fairly easy task, assuming players meet the minimum level requirements and are willing to put a bit of time into the expansion's story mode. That said, things are a bit different after level squish and the leveling options that were implemented with the Shadowlands pre-patch, so it's worth revisiting the requirements for anyone who is confused.

To start off, these were the original Battle for Azeroth World Quest unlock requirements (though the level has been scaled down from 120 to 50):
Hit 50
Unlock all three footholds as part of the Alliance or Horde War Campaigns.
Hit Friendly with the 3 major Kul Tiras (if Alliance)/Zandalar (if Horde) factions, in the quest Uniting Kul Tiras/ Uniting Zandalar.
Post level squish, there are a few things to note. First off, when a new hero or an alt are leveling and reach the point where they decide which expansion content they want to experience for levels 10-50, they will have a choice between where they want to go. Players who want to unlock the BfA World Quests for one reason or another should try to level up in the BfA content so that they can progress through the War Campaign storyline naturally.
It's also worth noting that once World Quests have been unlocked by one character, future alts will have a much shorter list of tasks to accomplish before unlocking this content and they basically just need to unlock one foothold and talk to a few NPCs to get World Quests online.
The War Campaign was pretty controversial at the time of its launch because of the damage Sylvanas inflicts on innocent members of the Alliance, but it is definitely interesting content to play through from either faction's perspective. Players who skipped BfA the first time around definitely have a lot of interesting lore and content to explore by tackling the task of unlock these World Quests and learning more about the BfA zones and characters.
