Getting a Blood Elf to Westfall?

[Peter Knutsen]

What is the best and easist way to get a Blood Elf to Westfall?

Or just to a place connected by Zeppelin, since then I imagine that I
know how to get around, once I'm on the Z-network.

I've in mind doing the oil quest in Westfall, to get some easy XP, and
perhaps a few additional quests there.

Not sure I'm following you. Are there Horde quests that take you to
Westfall? Because if you meant doing quests like "Westfall Stew" and
"Hogger", I'm afraid you're out of luck. Being Horde, the NPCs who
give these quests would be hostile to you. They might not try to kill
you, but they won't talk to you, either.

If that's not what you meant, then I guess, uh, the shortest way to
get to Westfall would be to take the boat from Ratchet to Booty Bay
and walk through STV and Darkshire, although if unescorted, you'll
probably die several times. But once you get to Westfall you wouldn't
even be safe - there's no Horde town there, no FP, no place for you to
repair. Closest place with an Inn that you could get to would be
Stonard in SoS, I suppose.

No.

You only have to die once. First, let yourself die in the Barrens. Now
take your spirit to the boat in Ratchet, and ride to STV. You will
still be a spirit in Booty Bay. Now take your spirit to the graveyard
in Sentinal Hill and *log out*.

I'll repeat that: Log out before you rez. If you try to rez as soon as
you get there you will rez in the Barrens graveyard.

OK, after logging out as a ghost in the Westfall graveyard and logging
back in, you spirit rez. Voila! You are alive and in Westfall.

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree that that's a much better way to
accomplish getting to Westfall. :P

LoL, show you how often my characters die. My Priest, who solos and
dinged level 40 last night, has died three times total - once in the
Dead Scar when I happened to run by at the wrong time and got nailed
by those every-5-minutes attack of 3 mobs on that Ranger woman, once
when I didn't click off the wings in time while using the Darkmoon
Faire Cannon thing and went splat, and once in 1,000 Needles doing a
Darkcloud Pinnacle quest. Moved my mouse just a sliver the wrong way,
and fell off a cliff.

I actually have no clue where most graveyards are.

Can we rezz at a graveyard where the area is yet to be discovered?
Once, I let my tauren die at the CT, and ghost run to Crossroad graveyard.
Then happily click ok to rezz........
I was back to CT's gy! After jogging for 5 mins i was back to where i
started..... :<
I remember i used to ghost run to other gy in AV, but that was after the
area was discovered.

For a Blood Elf the fastest way would be to go to UC and get the Zep
to Grom Gol and run north.

Not sure why you want to take a blood elf to westfall. I thought
maybe you were confusing blood elf with night elf, but then you
mention zepplins. And westfall is alliance territory. I think I
remember reading about 1 quest in Westfall that just happened to be
available to both horde and alliance, but that was so long ago I don't
remember what quest that was. I don't know if there are any Deadmines
quests available for horde either.

But, in answer to your question, to get a blood elf to the zepplins,
head to Silvermoon. I can't remember the name of the building, but I
believe its the northern most building in the city. Once inside you
will see the 3 blood elf faction leaders. Behind them is a ramp that
leads to the inside of a tower. Run up the ramp and continue up once
inside the tower. There you will see an object called the Orb of
Translocation. Right click on that, you will see a loading screen,
and then you will appear in the ruined courtyard of Undercity. From
there, I am sure you know how to get to the Zepplin. You can take the
zepplin to Grom Gol, and it may be possible to swim (and you may need
to go out far to avoid aggro from the crocolisks on the shore) along
the coast north to Westfall. Otherwise, you'll need to follow the
road north to Darkshire, then head west to Westfall.

Be thankful, last time someone asked me how to get a blood elf out of
the starting area, I told them they had to run south, through
Ghostlands, and endure a long corpse run through EPL and WPL to reach
Tirisfal.

It will be possible to swim, I've got a lvl 12 dwarf in Booty Bay that swum
south from Westfall, no deaths. Just stay well away from the coast and all
is fine :-)

I found 3 flasks of oil in another Horde character's bank, and I have
quite a lot of Horde gold due to some gold grinding I did earlier this
month, so I figured if I could find a couple more flasks of oil in the
Auction House, I'd be able to get an easy 1000 XP from the ghost at the
Lighthouse in Westfall, and maybe while I'm at it also do his other two
quests, about killing a number of Murlocs, and killing old Murk-Eye.

Not one quest, but one quest-giver who has 3 quests - one of which is
very easy if you have what he wants (oil, IIRC in flasks).

That sounds absurdly dangerous. I'd rather swim.

Well, good thing that's not necessary. It sounds horrible. I mean,
runing a level 5 or level 12 through the Wetlands is bad enough.

Pah! I did it over the weekend with a level 1 draenei - the guild was
running a footrace starting in goldshire and I wanted to be a little
different. Other than dying 4 times to alligators in the wetlands and once
to a hail of arrows from orc guards in the gauntlet, it was easy.
Unfortunately I dinged level 2 jjust as I exited the tram though. *

I did the Valentine's dress quest with my baby Draenei shaman and she had
the dress at level 3. That requires a run not just through Wetlands (where
she was eaten by a croc past the first foot bridge) but Arathi (raptors had
been cleared near the wall, so easy run) and Hillsbrad (several times
traveled to the gullet of bears and spiders). But I got that dress. And it
was worth it. (A year later, I now have a second, plus numerous other town
outfits.)

I have an Alliance mule for my Horde toons in Booty Bay. I think she dinged
a couple levels running her from Northshire Abbey to the Westfall
Lighthouse and swimming south to Booty Bay along the fatigue line. I think
she died once from a buzzard in Westfall.

Watch out for the elite shark in STV near where the rift crosses the
fatigue line. He swims deep, so you should be safe if you stay on the
surface.

Another option is to swim from Menethil to Southshore. I did it with a
level 5 dwarf, only died once because of nagas near SS.

My old main was a Draenei hunter... I made him the night of BC release
and played him non stop til I could get my first pet....

I took him through WPL and EPL to the BE starting area to tame a
Dragonhawk [started the run as soon as I finished the training quests.
It was back when I was still a nub, so I didn't know any of the tricks
for skipping over areas [ghost running, logout, res elsewhere]... so
it was a long run. But I ended up [the first?] with my level 11
Draenei hunter with his Dragonhawk.

Take the Zepplin to Grom'gol and then swim north - you'll eventually end
up in westfall.

I have to ask though, what quests are so great that you would want to spend
the time? The only "oil quest" I can think of is to kill mechanicals
putting the poor alliance farmers out of work - can you even DO that as
horde? It seems unlikely. *

Oh wait, you must mean this: <http://thottbot.com/q103>. It looks like all
of Captain Grayson's quests are doable via hore - that's surprising. It's a
hell of a long way to go for a small handful of quests though. *

Yes, I did the Captain Grayson quests on my PvP horde just so I could
say I did it. Not much of an accomplishment, but still, you're at a
pretty low level and in enemy territory. I was also solo.

I swam up from Booty Bay, got the Grom Gol flight point, went back to
swimming north to Westfall. Quite easy, but a little time consuming.
Then I cleared as much of my Westfall map as I could without attracting
too much attention.

Ah yes, a fun quest to do, especially if you're new to the game.
Alliance questing in enemy territory. I made sure all of my characters
have done this one... Just because. Again, it's not much of an
accomplishment, but you are right on the doorsteps of Orgrimmar.

You can also do the Captain Sander's chain to get his shirt & loot
if you get the drop from a murlock in Westfall, and the kids on
the dock in Redridge will give you their quest to find Hilary's
Necklace. I have a video of that on pacifistundeadpriest.blogspot.com

Do Horde get an equivalent of the Cluck! quest (I assume they can't do
the westfall one because you have to buy grain off the farmer who I
would expect to be hostile?

Not that I know of; and even if you buy grain off the neutral AH,
you still can't do the cluck quest, because the chickens will
be hostile to horde (?!) Unless that's been changed recently...

Horde CAN get the pet if an Alliance player does the clucking
and feeding, etc, but doesn't loot the egg at the end.

Take the zeppelin to Stranglethorn, but jump into the water before you

I took the zeppelin all the way to Grom'Gol camp, and talked to the

little or no reason to visit Grom'Gol at low level.

dock there. Swim north a longass way until you reach "Longshore". If
you are a hunter, track humanoids and watch out for hostile NPCs on the
shore.

It wasn't so bad. I stayed far away from shore, and the very
narrow-but-stretched patch of deep water didn't cause problems. I was
killed by some kind of underwater creature (Murlocs by the sound of it)
twice, but on the second resurrection I was past them.

Post by ToolPackinMama
Pick your way past Murlocs and Defias thugs and look for the road past
Moonbrook that will lead you inland.

If you're just going for the Lighthouse, you don't have to worry about
Defias. Also the NPC fisherman on the pier, to the east of the
Lighthouse, appears to be completely stationary, even though he's hostile.

Post by ToolPackinMama
I went there at level 12 to tame a Coyote Packleader, the nicest wolf
pet available at that level.
Got my pet, and stoned home triumphant.

Stoned?


I did have a Troll Warrior in Westfall, last year, in a desperate hunt
for Cooking ingredients, since the Horde areas suffer from a lack of
recipes that match available ingredients. Killed myself quite a bunch of
Crawlers and similar beach creatures. I also, IIRC, collected a lot of
eggs from those vulture-like birds they have in Westfall. Can't remember
whether I got killed by Alliance or not.

There is flight service between Grom'Gol and Silvermoon/Ghostlands,
you just need the right intermediate FP's.

First, you will need the FP's in Badlands, Arathi Highlands, and
possibly Tarren Mill. Grom'Gol connects to Kargath in Badlands,
Kargath connects to Hammerfall in Arathi, and Hammerfal connects to
either UC or Tarren Mill, I don't remember, but Tarren Mill Does
connect to UC. This gets you access to the Orb.

Next, to complete the FP all the way into BE lands, you need to suffer
a little bit. Make sure you have the Silvermoon and Tranquillien
FP's. Go to Ghostlands and head to Zul'Aman. I believe you get insta-
flagged for PvP when you enter the area around Zul'Aman, so you might
get attacked by a high level player. Find the FP here, which connects
to Silvermoon. Next you need something even more painful, the FP at
Lights Hope Chapel in EPL. This FP connects to UC and Silvermoon, and
possibly Hammerfall and Tarren Mill. And there you go, flight service
from Silvermoon to Grom'Gol, and if you make the trip to Booty Bay and
get that FP, you have connections taking you from the 2nd most
northern FP all the way to the most southern. Grab the Quel'Danas FP
to push it to the extreme.

Wonder which would be longer, Quel'Danas to Booty Bay, or Darnassus/
Moonglade to Silithus/Un'Goro/Tanaris?

Well, I didn't know that. I thought that the Ghostlands/Silvermoon
flight points were independant of all others because of the transfer
between pre-TBC and TBC zones.

There is flight service between Grom'Gol and Silvermoon/Ghostlands,
you just need the right intermediate FP's.

Well, I didn't know that. I thought that the Ghostlands/Silvermoon
flight points were independant of all others because of the transfer
between pre-TBC and TBC zones.

It used to be that way, till Zul Aman was added in (2.3?). They put a
FP at the entrance of Zul Aman and connected it to LHC. When you fly
between those 2 points, you fly through the portal connecting the 2
zones, view the loading screen, then appear in the next zone and
continue your flight to your destination. After getting the ZA FP, I
flew to UC from Ghostlands just for the hell of it.

Yep, sadly they still didn't add a flightpath between Auberdine and Exodar,
so Alliance don't get the luxury of being able to afk on the gryph to go to
their TBC town :-( Admittedly I rarely go anywhere on Kalimdor except
Exodar, and only there on my mage or on chars hearthed in Shattrath, but
still... would be nice to have the option to fly directly there! ;-)

First, you will need the FP's in Badlands, Arathi Highlands, and
possibly Tarren Mill. Grom'Gol connects to Kargath in Badlands,
Kargath connects to Hammerfall in Arathi, and Hammerfal connects to
either UC or Tarren Mill, I don't remember, but Tarren Mill Does
connect to UC. This gets you access to the Orb.

I wasn't about to bother with all of that at level 12 :)

Blood elves are born with access to the orb :)
