Guide
How to travel in WoW Forever: every boat, zeppelin and skyship route with its docks on the map, the flight paths worth picking up early for Alliance and Horde, the best flight hubs, and the Legacy perk that halves your flight costs.
Written by stillsixty staff.
Half of leveling is getting from one quest hub to the next. Three things carry you: boats and zeppelins between the continents, flight paths inside them, and your hearthstone home. Learn where the docks are, grab every flight point you pass, and you will spend your evenings questing instead of running.
Ships and zeppelins run back and forth between their docks: wait for yours, walk on board, and step off at the other end.
| Route |
|---|
| Between |
|---|
| Boat | Ratchet in the Barrens and Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale. |
|---|---|
| Boat | Theramore in Dustwallow Marsh and Menethil Harbor in the Wetlands. |
| Boat | Rut'theran Village in Teldrassil and Auberdine in Darkshore. |
| Boat | Auberdine and Menethil Harbor, Stormwind Harbor or Southshore in Hillsbrad Foothills. |
| Boat | Menethil Harbor and Southshore. |
| Boat | The Forgotten Coast in Feralas and Feathermoon, to its west. |
| Boat | Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris and Powderfuse Port in the Riverglades. |
| Zeppelin | Orgrimmar, the Undercity and Grom'gol in Stranglethorn Vale: each tower flies to the other two. |
| Skyship | The Valanaar Skydocks on Zephras Isle and Dalaran in Alterac Mountains, or Skywatcher Plateau in Mulgore. |
Auberdine is the Alliance's crossroads at sea: four boats leave from it, one to each of Teldrassil, Menethil, Stormwind and Southshore. The Horde's equivalent is the zeppelin triangle. The skyships are how Skyborne leave their island; the Zephras Isle guide walks you through it.
Powderfuse Port sits on the Riverglades coast, at the eastern side of the zone.
Talk to a flight master once and that flight point is yours for good. After that, the flight masters of your faction can fly you there from anywhere it connects to.
The rule: every time you walk into a town with a flight master, talk to them before anything else. The ones below are the most useful to have early.
Ironforge is the Eastern Kingdoms hub: it reaches Stormwind, Thelsamar, Menethil, Southshore, Refuge Pointe, Aerie Peak, Thorium Point, Chillwind Camp and Light's Hope Chapel. In Kalimdor, Auberdine does the same job.
The Crossroads is the best flight point in the game: it links to 13 others, from Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff to Gadgetzan, Camp Mojache and Ratchet. In the Eastern Kingdoms, Kargath ties the south together (Booty Bay, Grom'gol, Stonard, Flame Crest, Thorium Point) and reaches the Undercity and Hammerfall.
Ratchet's flight master, Bragok, serves everyone and links to the Crossroads, Theramore and Talrendis Point. Marshal's Refuge in Un'Goro Crater is open to both too, with flights to Gadgetzan and Cenarion Hold.
The Riverglades have one flight point per faction: Farholde Keep for the Alliance (flights to Lakeshire, Thelsamar and Morgan's Vigil) and Rog'mar for the Horde (Stonard, Kargath, Flame Crest and Hammerfall). On Mount Hyjal, Tainted Foothills links to Everlook and to the Summit of Eternity.
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Hearthstone | Hearthstone takes you home. Talk to an innkeeper to make that inn your home, and pick the town you will keep coming back to, not the one you are leaving. |
| Frequent Flier | A perk in the Adventure tree of the Legacy system: half-price flights, and your flight mount flies 20% faster. |
| Your own mount | From level 40. See riding and mounts. |
Talk first, quest second. Every new town: flight master before quest givers. Missing one flight point can turn a two-minute flight into a ten-minute run later.
Alliance: use Southshore. Southshore has a boat to Auberdine and Menethil and a flight to Ironforge, so it is a quick way between Hillsbrad and Kalimdor.
Horde: the zeppelin triangle. Orgrimmar, the Undercity and Grom'gol all connect, so you never need to go through a third city to cross.
