Travel from Darnassus to Ironforge or Stormwind[]
This is how you get from Night Elf territory (Teldrassil, Darkshore) to Human or Dwarven/Gnome territory (Elwynn Forest, Dun Morogh):
- There is a portal west of the bank in Darnassus that takes you to the Night Elf port, Rut'theran Village. (The portal looks like a hazy pink tent under a tree.)
- From there you can take a Boat (the southern boat) to Stormwind Harbor in Stormwind City.
- You can catch a free ride on the Deeprun Tram in the Dwarven District of Stormwind that will take you to Ironforge.
Tips[]
- With the help of a friendly Mage to portal you between continents, or a warlock to summon you, you can quickly gain access to all three major cities without any zone-to-zone running. (Portals to Ironforge, Stormwind, Theramore, and Exodar are available to level 40 mages, while the portal to Darnassus is only available when the mage reaches level 50.) This will allow you to learn weapon and trade skills at very low level. Be prepared to offer the Mage some money, as the Rune of Portals required to cast Portal (Spell) costs 20s. While in Kalimdor, pick up the flightpaths at Rut'theran Village and Lor'danel. While in the Eastern Kingdoms, pick up the flightpaths in Stormwind or Ironforge (whichever one you find yourself in), and take the Deeprun Tram to get the other. Use your
[Hearthstone] to get home.
- If playing a druid, it might make sense to set your hearthstone in the Eastern Kingdoms and rely on
[Teleport: Moonglade] to get back to Kalimdor. This is particularly useful if you're questing on both continents at once.
- From level 58 onwards, you can reach Stormwind from any capital city by entering the portal to the Blasted Lands (in Darnassus, it is located in the Temple of the Moon), then going through the Dark Portal and finally a small portal to Stormwind located at the bottom of the Stair of Destiny.
The Fastest Possible Route[]
Teleportation. You may have a mage create a portal for you to Stormwind or Ironforge, or have a warlock summon you, but this requires that you have a fairly well leveled friend who is willing to put aside a few minutes for you, or a fair amount of money to make it worth someone's time.
Or alternatively, any player above level 15 can be summoned using the meeting stone located at the Stormwind Stockade entrance.
