||
| − | Why would you want to go to Booty Bay? |
||
| − | * A neutral [[Auction House]] ([[Bank]] nearby). |
||
| − | * Higher level [[Trainer]]s and [[Vendor]]s. |
||
| − | * Expert [[Fishing]] [[Book|book]] for sale. |
||
| − | * [[Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza]]. |
||
| − | * [[Boat]] to [[Ratchet]] in [[Kalimdor]] - access to [[Wailing Caverns]]. |
||
| − | * Hanging out (or fighting) with the [[Horde]]. |
||
| − | * [[Gurubashi Arena]] nearby. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == How to get there == |
||
| − | This is how to get from the [[Human]] [[City|city]] of [[Stormwind]] to the [[Neutral]] city of [[Booty Bay]] in [[Stranglethorn Vale]] at the southern tip of the [[Eastern Kingdoms]]: |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Run through Darkshire and Stranglethorn Vale === |
||
| − | There's a dangerous path straight south through Stranglethorn Vale you can take: |
||
| − | # Either fly from Stormwind to the town of [[Darkshire]] in [[Duskwood]] or run southeast to get there (you can safely do this around level 20). You can also follow the road south from the [[Redridge Mountains]]. |
||
| − | # Follow the road south from Darkshire and turn west with the road. |
||
| − | # Keep going west until you get to a road going south (at the intersection should be a tent with Darkshire watchers) and go south. |
||
| − | # The road south leads into Stranglethorn Vale. For characters under level 30, this area can be scary, so be wary of [[Mob|mob]]s. You may die a few times. |
||
| − | # There's a flight path right when you get to Stranglethorn Vale. Cross the first bridge, follow the road, and head west at the first intersection. |
||
| − | # Follow the winding road generally south over a couple of rope bridges past the [[Venture Trading Company]] Base Camp and continue south. |
||
| − | # You should pass the [[Gurubashi Arena]] and eventually get to a large shark head at the opening of a cave guarded by [[Goblin]] bruiser guards. |
||
| − | # Go through the cave tunnel and you've made it to Booty Bay! |
||
| − | |||
| − | If you are a lowbie, and die along the way, you can't keep running as a ghost until you get to the cave right outside Booty Bay. Although there is a [[Spirit Healer]] just slightly east of the cave entrance, you can't resurrect from there and run right inside Booty Bay, because if you try to resurrect at a different Spirit Healer, it will resurrect you back at the graveyard you died at. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Swim from Westfall === |
||
| − | Another way to get to Booty Bay from Stormwind is to start from [[Westfall]]. This method is recommended for lowbies (lvls 10-19) since it is the safest. |
||
| − | # Fly to [[Sentinel Hill]] in Westfall, then run southwest until you reach the southern coastline of Westfall. |
||
| − | # Proceed to swim south towards Booty Bay. Stranglethorn Vale's western coast is quite generous in how far you can stray away from shore without being fatigued, so you can swim in an almost straight line. Note that this takes about twenty minutes. |
||
| − | # Stay away from the shoreline, you don't want to aggro mobs or alert Horde players at [[Grom'Gol]]! |
||
| − | # When you reach Booty Bay's harbor there is a ramp in the center of the dockside that will allow you to get out from the water. |
||
| − | # Welcome to [[Booty Bay]]! |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Along the coast of Theramore Island === |
||
| − | Another, both relatively quick and rather safe - way to get to Booty Bay from Stormwind or other Alliance territories is to take the roundabout route via [[Kalimdor]]. |
||
| − | # Start in [[Menethil Harbor]] (fly there, or walk the long way; pick up the flight path if you do not have it). |
||
| − | # Take the [[boat]] to [[Theramore Island]] |
||
| − | # Head north along the beach to Ratchet. There are some level 37-38 [[Murlocs]] in the way, but you can completely avoid them by swimming east around Island Alcaz. Closer to Ratchet are some level 13-16 pirates, but they too are easily avoided. If you die to the pirates you will resurrect directly at Ratchet. It should be mentioned that along the beach there are various Defias mobs, all ranging from 37-38. Simply swimming in the water will not avoid them, either, because Defias Divers (also 37-38) are almost unavoidable. Swimming east around Alcaz is the best route. |
||
| − | # From Ratchet, take the boat to Booty Bay. |
||
| − | |||
| − | If you take this route, you also get the flight paths in [[Theramore Island]] and [[Ratchet]] as a bonus - don't forget to pick them up! This route is especially easy for Night Elves, who can take the boat from [[Auberdine]] to [[Menethil Harbor]], and who get easy access to the Barrens this way too (skipping [[Ashenvale]] and/or [[Stonetalon Peak]]). |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Ghost run through Ratchet === |
||
| − | If you're an extremely low character, or don't want to die a lot, try this: |
||
| − | # Follow the path from "Run through Darkshire and Stranglethorn Vale". |
||
| − | # Once you die, keep running as a ghost, untill you get to Booty Bay. |
||
| − | # Still as a ghost, get on the boat to [[Ratchet]], and resurrect there. |
||
| − | # Get the flight path in Ratchet, and take the boat back to Booty Bay. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Ashenvale to Ratchet === |
||
| − | For a character close to level 20, this might be the best way. (The swim from Westfall is not hard, but it is tedious.)<br/> |
||
| − | This is especially useful if you are already in [[Silverwing Grove]] buying [[Warsong Gulch]] [[PvP reward]] gear from {{NPC|Alliance|Illiyana Moonblaze}}. |
||
| − | # Take the boat from Stormwind to [[Auberdine]] on [[Darkshore]]. |
||
| − | # Follow the road south from Auberdine through [[Astranaar]] in [[Ashenvale]]. |
||
| − | # Keep going west along the road past the sign for [[Raynewood Retreat]]. |
||
| − | # After you cross a bridge spanning a river, turn south on the road toward the [[Barrens]], which passes [[Silverwing Outpost]]. |
||
| − | # As you approach the [[Mor'shan Rampart]] head east off the road. You will see a gap in the wall which is safe and has no guards. |
||
| − | # Go through the gap and keep heading south. Ratchet is southeast of your entry into the Barrens. |
||
| − | # Paralleling the road works, but stay clear of Horde guard towers, and skirt around [[Crossroads]]. |
||
| − | # Take the road southeast from the Crossroads to Ratchet. |
||
| − | # Another option for crossing the Barrens to Ratchet is to go through [[The Sludge Fen]] east to the [[Southfury River]]. |
||
| − | # Then follow the Southfury River south to Ratchet, avoiding the Horde guards at the bridge across the Southfury River. |
||
| − | # Once in Ratchet, take the boat to Booty Bay. |
