Alliance transport question

Catriona R

12/8/2011 4:19:00 PM


Wondering if I missed something obvious so figured I'd ask :-P

I'm in Stormwind, want to go to Tanaris - what's the quickest way? Not
being high enough to go to Uldum yet, I don't have access to the
portal, and not being a mage, I can't port to Dustwallow, so, um. Fly
to Menethil, boat to Dustwallow and fly to Gadgetzan seems as good as
it gets? Probably a bit less bad than boat to Darnassus and flight
from there, anyway.

Starting to develop a new appreciation for Horde transportation,
there's not many places that involve more than a zep+*one* flight to
reach, even for lowbies!

Or....

Portal to Blasted lands (what level?), fly to BB, boat to Ratchet,
fly to Tanaris.

Don't know if its faster. Myself, I tend to boat to Darnassus and fly,
since I'm lazy - takes a little longer, but fewer changes.

Does the portal in Dalaran to CoT still work?

Hmm that could work, not much in it though I suspect!

Heh yeah I was thinking of that one for simplicity but figured unless
the flightpath got sped up it'll take at least 10 minutes.

>Does the portal in Dalaran to CoT still work?

Still works, since I use it to get to Mount Hyjal... haven't got any
Dalaran teleports on the character I was asking about though :-) So
yeah, answer really is level up lol :-P Or splash out 4k gold on a
Dalaran ring ;-)

When leveling an ally (or horde I guess) toon past 80, I typically keep
my hearth stone set to Dal now. Basically, there is everything you need
there. Plus, now that they opened the portal to SW, you can get there
easy as well if needed. Anyway, what this does for you is it allows you
when you are ready, to hearth to Dal, then take the caverns of time
portal in the citidal to just south of Gadget...

But I guess that doesn't help if your stuck in SW with no way to get to
Dal. If your in a rush, 10 gold will get you a port from a mage then
reset your hearth to Dal.... :)

On my main, I use the tabard of the crusade to port in Northrend, fly to
Dalaran, and then the portal.

With enough rep, you can use the Shattrath port (port to Dark Portal, fly
to Shattrath).

An engineer, gobelin spec, can port to Gadgetzan, too.

That's how I get there on Horde (except I've got the ring+Jaina's
locket on my main so straight to Dalaran), don't hve any of those
items on Alliance though, oops :-)

True, think I did have the rep, it just seemed a long route!

Or find a mage to make you a portal to Theramore.
