Do You Believe in Magic? ... or Silly Travel Hints?



I am lazy. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Especially when it comes to travelling around Azeroth. It would probably say something nice about me if I enjoyed traipsing around, gawking at all the scenery that the Blizz-Devs creasted for us, alas, that isn't the case. I want to get from point A to point B ASAP.

Which is why I always wear my Runed Ring of the Kirin Tor, and my Argent Crusader's Tabard: I like love the free teleports they provide.

So, it is with this travelling time frugality in mind, that I gve you a hint (mainly for Alliance) to easily and fairly quickly get to southern Kalimdor. And all thanks to the Children's Week quests!

Let's say I want to get to Un'Goro (I was making the Skeleton key and needed to do the Fire Plume Forged quest at the Volcano) the from any oddball place. My travel route would normally look like:

1 - Hearth to Dal (1 minute)
2 - Portal to Ironforge (1 minute)
3 - Fly to Menethil Harbor, Wetlands (3 minutes)
4 - Boat to Theramore (1 minute)
5 - Fly to Un'Goro (5-6 minutes)

It's nearly a 10-12 minute routine.

For your edification, I propose this:


1 - Hearth to Dal (1 minute)
2 - Fly to Sholazar Basin (flight path - 3 minutes)
3 - Mount & Fly to Waygate, at 40,83, Southeast of The Mosslight Pillar. ( 1 minute)
4 - Mount up and ride down to the flight path at Marshal's refuge, and yer done! (1 minute)


(this is the waygate)



EDIT: Thanks to a kind anonymous commenter, there's an even BETTRE way:

1 - Hearth to Dal (1 minute)
2 - Portal to Caverns Of Time (1 minute)
3 - Ride to Gadgetzan, Tanaris (2 minutes)
4 - Fly to Un'Goro (1 minute)

THANKS!
