Revantusk Village question

[morag]

Anyone have any advice on getting here, without having to make a
suicide leap from the cliffs above? For the life (or death) of me I
can't seem to find any way down that's survivable.

Thanks!

There's a downward path. If you zoom in on the area at http://mapwow.com/
you can see the path leading away from the main road to the east and into
the mountains..

Yeah, just before the elite troll area, so be careful there. Also, there
are ghost wolves around the path. Not the easiest place to reach, for
sure. :)

I never tried this.

But someone once told me that if you swim down the river heading east
until you get to the cliffs, you can jump off the waterfall and land
in the water below.

If this is possible, it means being able to skip past most of the
higher level mobs in the area. The only mob you will have to look out
for after you get to the river will be south of the base of the
waterfall, an elite turtle.

Also, if you do this, stick to the river, definitely do not go north
of the river. The first time I quested through this zone I went up
there to see what was there, got 1 shot by an elite dragonkin.

Yes, it is possible and safe.

You can jump down at the waterfall and fall in water without damage.

On the beach only one elite turtle, all the rest are yellow/neutral.
Be sure to take the quest form Booty Bay about rum bottles,
nice and easy exp.

I had to grin when I read this, because on my first trip to this beach
I took the same route. (With the same result, and it was a long corpse
run.)

Anyway, I was there on Tansi to tame one of the turtles and learn a
skill (Higher rank of Bite, IIRC). Back then there was no Revantusk
Village, and the turtles were hostile. So even when I did manage to
land safely, I was looking at some very angry turtles. :) After a
second corpse run and a third jump off the cliff I tamed one and I
just hearthed back. So even after all that I didn't know about the
path coming up and connecting near Jintha'Alor.

It wasn't too long after I did the "Whiskey Slim's Lost Grog" quest
here that they put in Revantusk and made the turtles neutral. (I mean
not long as in, "Hey, they were RED when I was here LAST WEEK".)

This made the quest a walk in the park compared to the death-defying
accomplishment it was back then. ;)
