[[Patch 4.0.3a]] and the {{cata-inline}} introduced new travel challenges for players. The portal hubs in [[Dalaran]] and [[Shattrath]] are gone, and players are now required to discover the new high-level instances before they are allowed to queue for them in the dungeon finder.

This guide presents the fundamentals of post-Cataclysm travel between the three continents of Azeroth ([[Kalimdor]], [[Eastern Kingdoms]], and [[Northrend]]) and provides details regarding the many methods of travel available. Also included is information about travel between these continents and [[Outland]].

== How travel has changed ==
 
  +
{{elinks-item|22073}}
−  
−
The Cataclysm brought a new concept for world travel. In the {{bc-inline}} Burning Crusade and {{wotlk-inline}} Wrath of the Litch King expansions, a single portal hub a remote city provided access to the major cities in the Old World.
 
−  
−
By contrast, in the post-Cataclysm world, new and improved travel facilities have turned the two capital cities, [[Stormwind]] and [[Orgrimmar]], into worldwide travel centers. Located in the heartlands of Azeroth's two original continents, these cities have also become centers for all types of [[trainers|training]], [[daily quests]], [[Auction House|auctioning]], and other activities.
 
−  
−
Although the old portal hubs are gone, improved [[#Mass transit|mass transit]] and [[taxi]] services, greatly expanded [[#solo|solo flight]], and [[#portals|new portal hubs]] allow players to move freely and reasonably quickly throughout the world. [[#Shorter waits at the dock|Shorter cycle times]] for ships and zeppelins and the addition of many new [[#flight paths|flight paths]] have made travel over land and sea much easier and faster than before, even for low level characters.
 
−  
−
{{cata-inline}} Things get even better as you level up. Characters who have reached level 60 can now fly freely around almost all of [[Kalimdor]] and [[Eastern Kingdoms]]. Characters level 80 and above can make use of [[#portals|new portal hubs]] in the capital cities. Located in [[Stormwind]] and [[Orgrimmar]], these hubs provide rapid access to the new level 81-85 zones. You must complete quests for access to these portals, and the portals to [[Tol Barad]] require level 85. See [[#portals|Portals]] below for more information.
 
−  
−
=== Setting your hearthstone ===
 
−
While setting your hearthstone to a city near where you are questing provides convenient access to trainers and auction houses, from about level 20 or 30 through level 60 you may find it advantageous to set your hearthstone to an inn in your capital city.
 
−  
−
The Alliance and Horde capitals, [[Stormwind]] and [[Orgrimmar]], now have class, profession, riding<ref name="ridingtrainers">The riding trainers in the capitals do not require the character to be exalted with the city's faction, although the racial mount vendors do.</ref>, and flight trainers, as well as [[Daily quest#Cooking dailies|cooking]] and [[Daily quest#Fishing dailies|fishing daily quests]] that all characters level 10 and up can complete. [[#Mass transit|Mass transit]] and [[Taxi|taxis]] provide ready access for all levels from these cities to most parts of the Old World.
 
−  
−
When you are questing in {{bc-inline}} [[Outland]] or {{wotlk-inline}} [[Northrend]], you will likely want to set your hearthstone in [[Shattrath]] or [[Dalaran]], respectively. Since there are now class and profession trainers and auction houses in both cities, you will have little need to travel back to the Old World until you are done questing in these continents. After that these cities will become largely irrelevant.
 
−  
−
Characters level 80 and above can make use of the new {{cata-inline}} [[#Portals|portal hubs]] in the capital cities to access the new level 81-85 zones.

== Flight enhancements ==
 
−
=== Flight paths ===
 
−
[[Patch 4.0.3a]] added many [[Patch_4.0.3a_(world_changes)#Flight_Paths|new flight paths]] to both [[Kalimdor]] and the [[Eastern Kingdoms]], especially in the lower level zones.
 
−  
−
Flight paths in [[Kalimdor]] and the [[Eastern Kingdoms]] are now shown on the in-game map. After you have discovered an area, any flight paths in that area will show up on your map as a winged foot: blue for Alliance, red for Horde, and green for neutral.
 
−  
−
You'll need to talk to the [[flight masters]] and pick up the flight paths, but once you do they will make travel for low level characters much easier than it was prior to patch [[4.0.3a]].
 
−  
−
=== Flying solo ===
 
−
{{cata-inline}} Characters level 60 or above can purchase a [[Flight Master's License]] from a [[riding trainer|flying trainer]] near the [[flight masters]] in [[Stormwind]], [[Orgrimmar]], [[Hellfire Peninsula]], [[Borean Tundra]], or [[Dalaran]]. This license allows the character to fly almost anywhere in the Old World.
 
−
<ref name="soloflight"> Solo flight is still not possible in the {{bc-inline}} zones connected to the Old World, including the [[Exodar]], [[Azuremyst Isle]], [[Bloodmyst Isle]], [[Silvermoon]], [[Eversong Woods]], [[Ghostlands]], and associated islands.</ref>
 
−  
−
All characters level 68 or above<ref name="mincold"> Prior to Cataclysm, minimum level for [[Cold Weather Flying]] was 77, or level 68 with a [[Tome of Cold Weather Flight]].</ref> can now purchase {{wotlk-inline}} [[Cold Weather Flying]] from a [[riding trainer|flying trainer]]. This permits flying in all of [[Northrend]].
 
−  
−
The Expert [[riding]] skill, a [[Flight Master's License]], and [[Cold Weather Flying]] combine to allow a player to fly almost anywhere in the world, except within certain [[instances]] and a few zones not yet revised for flight.<ref name="soloflight"/>

== Mass transit ==
 
−
=== Ships, zeppelins, and trams ===
 
−
Getting between continents will generally require taking a ship or zeppelin. Ships and zeppelins (and a tram) can also be used to travel between certain major cities on the same continent, and in some cases between the north end of a continent and the southern end. These methods of transport are known as "mass transit."
 
−  
−
In two cases, portals are also available for travel between two cities. Although these are not strictly mass transit, they will be included here because they complete the city-to-city travel picture.
 
−  
−
=== Ports ===
 
−  
−
Ships and zeppelins connect the continents of [[Kalimdor]], [[Eastern Kingdoms]], and [[Northrend]]. Below are tables of the ports where they dock, and the ports to which they are connected via mass transit. (See the below for tables and maps of [[#routes|mass transit routes]].)

The ships between [[Darnassus]] and [[Stormwind]], and [[Darnassus]] and the [[Exodar]] dock at Rut'theran Village, at the base of the enormous tree known as [[Teldrassil]]. You can get between [[Darnassus]] and [[Rut'theran Village]] via portals located next to their respective flight masters.
 
−  
−
Note that once you pick up the flight path in the [[Exodar]], you can now take the taxi between there and [[Rut'theran]] or [[Darnassus]]. You can also fly from the [[Exodar]] or [[Darnassus]] to locations in [[Kalimdor]] where you have flight paths.
 
−  
−
There is also a portal in the [[Temple of the Moon]] in Darnassus which goes to the Exodar. This portal is on the first floor, next to the portal to the [[Blasted Lands]], and has no level requirement.

Note that the zeppelin routes between [[Orgrimmar]] and [[Thunder Bluff]] and between the [[Undercity]] and [[Grom'Gol Base Camp]] in [[Northern Stranglethorn]] are to points on the same continent, rather than intercontinental as with other zeppelin (and ship) voyages. The zeppelin between the Undercity and Grom'Gol makes travel between the northern and southern parts of Eastern Kingdoms easy even if you have not yet picked up the key Horde flight path at [[New Kargath]] in the [[Badlands]].
 
−  
−
=== Shorter waits at the dock ===
 
−  
−
The time it takes to travel using mass transit has been significantly reduced. Before [[Patch 4.0.3a]], players often had to wait four or five minutes for a ship or zeppelin to arrive at their point of departure. Now the time between departures is typically closer to two minutes.
 
−  
−
Also, characters with the ability to fly in the departure zone can land on a ship or zeppelin which has already departed, provided it has not gained too much speed. This allows you to catch a voyage you might otherwise have missed. Characters with flight ability in the arrival zone can fly off the ship or zeppelin before it has reached the dock, saving a little more time.
 
−  
−
This newly reduced departure cycle time is key to efficient travel in the post-Cataclysm world. Although the ports look far away on the map, in practical terms they are actually only two or three minutes apart - much less time than it takes to fly across a continent.
 
−  
−
Thus, the actual travel time between, for example, [[Stormwind]] and [[Darnassus]], is less than a minute longer than the travel time between [[Stormwind]] and [[Ironforge]]. The same is true for travel between [[Orgrimmar]] and [[Undercity]].
 
−  
−
=== Mass transit vs mage portals ===
 
−  
−
To put travel times into perspective, remember that the loading screen part of a mass transit trip takes the same amount of time as that of a hearthstone - or a portal. The only time penalty for taking a ship or zeppelin is the wait time at the dock, and that is now almost always less than two minutes.
 
−  
−
Keep this in mind the next time you are tempted to advertise in the trade chat for a mage to sell you a [[teleport|portal to another city]]. By the time you find a mage and he or she gets to you, takes your gold, and pops you a portal, you could have already been aboard mass transit and on your way.
 
−  
−
Also, many ships and zeppelins land near a flight master, whereas a mage portal will often deposit you somewhere deep in the bowels of your destination city.
 
−  
−
For most city to city trips, when you consider the total time of the trip, typically mass transit will get you to your destination as fast as or faster than a mage portal.
 
−  
−
And mass transit is free.
 
−  
−
==== Exceptions ====
 
−
The main exception is [[Dalaran]], because the taxi flight between [[Dalaran]] and the ports in [[Borean Tundra]] is almost five minutes. Master flying (310%) knocks this down to just over four minutes, but if you can find a mage quickly a portal might be a little faster. On the other hand, if you have one of the (very expensive) [[Ring_of_the_Kirin_Tor|Rings_of_the_Kirin_Tor]], you can teleport yourself from a port in [[Borean Tundra]] or [[Howling Fjord]] and forget about mages.
 
−  
−
But unless you are questing in [[Northrend]], why do you need to go to [[Dalaran]] at all? The capital cities, [[Stormwind]] and [[Orgrimmar]], are now the travel hubs, and have trainers and daily quests as well. And while you are questing in [[Northrend]], the class trainers and auctioneers who arrived in [[Dalaran]] with [[4.0.3a]] pretty much eliminate the need to go to any other cities.
 
−  
−
Another exception is [[Stormwind]] to [[Theramore]]; Alliance players wanting to get from their travel hub to central [[Kalimdor]] will need to fly (or take the tram) to [[Menethil]] to catch a ship to [[Theramore]], or fly to [[Booty Bay]] and take a ship to [[Ratchet]]. The necessary flights are close to four minutes, so a mage portal to [[Theramore]] may save a little time.
 
−  
−
Also, travel from the capitals to the {{bc-inline}} cities of [[Exodar]] and [[Silvermoon]] involve runs between ports and portals, and some trips, such as [[Silvermoon]] to [[Thunder Bluff]] or [[Exodar]] to [[Ironforge]], require multiple voyages if your hearthstone is not set to your capital city. In cases like these, a mage might save you a few minutes.
 
−  
−
== Portals ==
 
−
Several portals allow rapid travel between continents, or to distant areas of the same continent. Some of these portals can be used by either faction.
 
−  
−
In some cases, portals can be used as stages in a trip designed for rapid travel from one part of the Old World to another. For example, a level 58+ character in [[Silvermoon]] can quickly reach [[Orgrimmar]] by taking the portal to the [[Blasted Lands]], running through the [[Dark Portal]], and then taking the small portal beside the [[Dark Portal]] to [[Orgrimmar]].
 
−  
−
Portals in [[Northrend]] are also included here. For portals between [[Outland]] and the Old World, see the [[#Outland|Outland]] section below.
 
−  
−
Also, see [[Teleport]] for a list of non-mage teleportation spells that require a certain class, profession, and/or item to use.
 
−  
−
Some portals listed below can be used by characters of any level, while others require a minimum level or completion of certain quests before they can be used.

−  
−
Characters who complete the quest [[Quest:Circle the Wagons... er, Boats]] (Alliance) or the quest line beginning with [[Quest:To_the_Summit]] (Horde) get the [[River Boat]] for travel in the flood waters of [[Thousand Needles]].
 
−  
−
Turtle boats ply the waters between the neutral [[Northrend]] ports of [[Unu'pe]], [[Moa'ki Harbor]], and [[Kamagua]]. See [[Boats]] for more information.
 
−  
−
== To Outland and back ==
 
−
[[Outland]] is floating in outer space. Because it is physically unconnected to Azeroth, unlike [[Northrend]] and the continents in the Old World, [[Outland]] has no ports.
 
−  
−
Despite this, each faction can quickly travel to and from [[Outland]] via portals located in their major cities and in [[Outland]]. Portals in the major cities take the character to the [[Dark Portal]] in the [[Blasted Lands]], which provides access to the [[Hellfire Peninsula]] zone of Outland. Portals in [[Hellfire Peninsula]] return the character to their faction's capital city.
 
−  
−
Although the portals in the cities to the [[Blasted Lands]] can only be used by characters level 58 and above, there is no level restriction on the use of the [[Dark Portal]]. It is possible to ride lower level toons (usually level 20 or higher) through [[Duskwood]], [[Swamp of Sorrows]], [[Deadwind Pass]] and the [[Blasted Lands]] to the [[Dark Portal]] in order to enter [[Outland]].

Once you get to the [[Blasted Lands]] go through the [[Dark Portal]]. Horde characters turn right (north) and jump off the steps. You'll find a flight master who will fly you to [[Shattrath City]] even if you've never been there before.
 
−  
−
Alliance characters turn left (south) and jump off the steps to find your flight master and fly to [[Shattrath]].
 
−  
−
To return to the Old World from [[Shattrath]], see the flight master outside the [[Terrace of Light]] and take the taxi back to the [[Dark Portal]]. Each faction has a small portal beside the steps. The Alliance portal goes to [[Stormwind]]; the Horde's to [[Orgrimmar]].

Note that the portals from the major cities which provide access to [[Hellfire Peninsula]] take the player to the [[Blasted Lands]] in the vicinity of the [[Dark Portal]]. The player must then run to the Dark Portal and go through it to enter the Hellfire Peninsula zone of [[Outland]].

−
The portals in the major cities to the Blasted Lands can only be used by level 58 characters and above. The return portals, from the Dark Portal to the capitol cities, as well as the Dark Portal itself from the Outland side, can be used by any level.
