'''Millhouse Manastorm''' is a level 70 elite [[gnome]] [[mage]] imprisoned in the [[Arcatraz]] wing of [[Tempest Keep]]. In order to acquire [[The Tempest Key]], formerly required to unlock [[Eye (Tempest Keep)|The Eye]] wing of Tempest Keep, players must enter Arcatraz on heroic mode, and make sure that Millhouse survives until the death of {{npc||Harbinger Skyriss}}. He is released during the second wave of the [[Harbinger Skyriss]] encounter in the [[Arcatraz]].

He is a gnome of unusual size, being about as tall as a [[dwarf]].

The table above guides you to instructions for specific routes. If you want or need a travel route added to this table, please put your request in the [[Talk:Travel guide|discussion page]].
  
   
−
== Help from other players ==
  
−
If you are a low [[level]] character and wish to travel somewhere but the way is too dangerous, a good option is to have a [[mage]] [[Portal (spell)|portal]] you to the capital cities of your faction, [[Shattrath]] {{bc-inline}}, or [[Dalaran]] {{wotlk-inline}}. Alternatively a [[warlock]] can use [[Ritual of Summoning]] with two other players to get you almost anywhere. Either method should get you closer to where you want to go.
  
   
  +
See [[Tempest Keep NPCs]].
−
You should consider binding your [[hearthstone]] at an inn if you are able to get a portal or a summons to Shattrath {{bc-inline}} or Dalaran {{wotlk-inline}}. Free portals are available to each faction's capital cities in both of these sanctuary cities. Speak to an innkeeper to bind your hearthstone.
  
   
  +
==Info==
−
[[Alliance]] mages get the portals to [[Ironforge]], [[Stormwind]] and [[Exodar]] at level 40, and [[Darnassus]] at level 50.
 
  +
While the Arcatraz is a place of imprisonment for dangerous beings the [[Naaru]] encountered, Millhouse, in fact, was merely a victim of circumstance - A stowaway who was in the wrong Naaru vessel at the wrong time. It is unknown how he actually got to a Naaru vessel but it's quite possible that his curiosity over the mysterious Naaru and his knowledge of the Arcane played a major part in his entry.
   
  +
In combat, he appears to be a jack of all trades, using [[Improved Frostbolt]]s, [[Ice Block]], [[Pyroblast]] and [[Improved Arcane Missiles]]. Of course, most elite NPC's have grown beyond the simple boundaries of talent specs, and Millhouse is no different.
−
[[Horde]] mages get the portals to [[Undercity]], [[Orgrimmar]] and [[Silvermoon]] at level 40, and [[Thunder Bluff]] at level 50.

Millhouse returns in Cataclysm as a member of [[Twilight's Hammer cult]]. He is involved in their operations in [[Deepholm]], and appears numerous times in the [[Stonecore]]. He has apparently acquired a new spell called "Impending Doooooom!", but its effects are unknown as he is interrupted by the arrival of [[Corborus]]. He and his Twilight's Hammer loyalists are easily knocked over the precipice, and is suspected to have been killed in the impact.

Intro:
−
You should be prepared to give the mage some coin. Each portal consumes a [[Rune of Portals]], which costs 20 silver each. It is generally considered common courtesy to include a tip for the mage's trouble. As with all player characters, mages vary in temperament and helpfulness, although 2-3 gold is usually sufficient to buy a portal from any mage. Warlocks need a [[Soul Shard]] and two party members present (''with'' the Warlock), to perform a [[Ritual of Summoning|summons]] so they don't commonly perform one unless you are already in their party or in their guild.

As he buffs himself:
−
Of course these methods can cost money and if you are not hiking you will not pick up flight path points. Still the above options the fastest ways if you simply want to reach Stormwind as a level 6 night elf just because all your friends are one of the three other races and you want to level with them.

−
{{main|Hearthstone}}
  
−
When each player starts a new character, they automatically receive a [[hearthstone]] in their inventory that can be used for instant travel back to whatever [[inn]] it is bound to. [[Bind]]ing at an inn involves speaking to the [[innkeeper]] and selecting the "Make this inn my home" option. The hearthstone can only be used once every 30 minutes, though [[shaman]] have a [[spell]] (called [[Astral Recall]]) with the same effect, but with a much shorter timer (15 min). Shamans don't get it until level 30. If you accidentally delete your hearthstone, don't panic. Simply speak with an innkeeper, make that inn your new home and you will receive a new hearthstone.

  +
Iceblock:
−
One of the most common forms of transportation in [[World of Warcraft]] is flying. Gryphons and Hippogryphs provide this for the [[Alliance]], while Wyverns, Dragonhawks and Bats are aligned with the [[Horde]]. Many settlements have a [[flight point]], with an NPC who will allow you to travel to various connected points for a fee. Before you can use a flight path you must travel to it on foot and "learn" the path by clicking on the flight path [[NPC]] who will have a green <font color="green">'''!'''</font> above their heads. (There are a few exceptions: All characters start with the flight point of their racial capital. [[Death knights]] automatically know every flight point in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms. Some [[Outland]] and [[Northrend]] flight points are learned automatically or through quests.) Flight paths are fixed; you cannot control the creature you are on, so sit back and enjoy the view.
  
  +
*{{text|yell|Ice ice baby!}}
   
  +
Throughout the fight:
−
While in flight, you cannot perform any skills (except for activating certain auras), but you can tinker with [[macro]] functions, set up your [[action bar]], equip [[gear]], [[chat]], and adjust your game configuration settings. This is an excellent time to change your video settings, especially if your computer is slow to change them. (The color-depth settings are reset to default each time you load the game.)

  +
*{{text|yell|Heal me! For the love of all that is holy, somebody HEAL me! I'm dying!}}
−
Travel between the two continents and to locations more remote than are accessible via flight path is done via large Zeppelins, Boats, or similar. These cost nothing to use, and operate on a fairly rapid schedule. They are also a relatively safe way to travel, for those with the correct faction alignment, as they usually have guards stationed at the stops. Anyone can use any of these travel options, but the guards will try to kill you if you are not liked by their faction, of course.

*{{text|yell|Ah-ha! I've got you right where I want you!}}
−
Certain classes, such as [[mages]], [[druids]], [[hunters]] and [[shaman]], have different means of personal travel which help them get places faster. The [[Engineering]] [[profession]] also allows use of four trinkets that allow personal teleportation to either [[Everlook]] and [[Area 52]] if you took Goblin Engineering specialization or [[Gadgetzan]] and [[Toshley's Station]] if you took up gnomish specialization.

==Patches and hotfixes==
−
At level 20, all classes can purchase [[mounts]]. These aren't overly expensive, costing only {{cost|4}} for training and {{cost|1}} for the mount, and can be reduced in price by gaining higher [[reputation]] with your faction (up to 20% discount), and provide a faster means of transportation than traveling everywhere by foot. [[Paladins]] and [[Warlocks]] get mounts and apprentice riding training for {{cost|1}} at level 20, after speaking to their class [[trainer]].

==External links==
−
At level 40, all classes can upgrade to [[Mounts#Epic_ground_mounts|epic mounts]]. These mounts are more expensive ({{cost|40}} for training and {{cost|10}} for the mount), but provide a greater speed increase than does a normal mount—which becomes quite useful when traversing the larger zones intended for level 40+ characters. Again, [[Paladins]] and [[Warlocks]] get special mounts. Prior to patch 3.0.3, these mounts all required completion of long and costly questlines. Now, the quest is a [[Feat of Strength]] and [[Paladins]] and [[Warlocks]] may now train their epic mounts at 40, provided they have already picked up the Journeyman [[Riding]] skill. For [[Death knight]]s {{wotlk-inline}}, a [[Deathcharger]] is automatically received for free after completing [55] {{quest|Into the Realm of Shadows}}. You may buy the mounts of another allied race (IE a [[Dwarf]] purchasing human [[horse]] mounts) if you are of exalted rank with that race's home city. You cannot buy mounts of the opposite faction, though some generically available mounts do resemble racial mounts, such as the [[Swift Razzashi Raptor]], which resembles [[Darkspear]] Raptors.

−
Also at level 40, you may purchase black-colored PVP variant of racial mounts for 50,000 [[Honor Points]], which you receive by competing in [[PvP]] combat. You must still pay for the riding training. You may purchase mounts of the same faction but different race, even if you are not exalted (i.e, a Draenei can purchase a [[Black War Steed Bridle|Black War Horse]] even if he or she is not exalted with [[Stormwind]].) You can never gain Black PVP variants of the other faction's mounts.

{{bc-inline}} At level 60, all classes can purchase [[Mounts#Flying_mounts|flying mounts]] for use only in [[Outland]] and {{wotlk-inline}} [[Northrend]]. Basic flying mounts ({{cost|250}} for training, {{cost|50}} for the mount) are the same speed on the ground as regular (level 20) mounts, and fly at 150% speed. Epic flying mounts are also available; they're much more expensive ({{cost|5000}} for training, {{cost|100}} for the mount), but also much faster (same speed on land as an epic mount and +280% speed in the air). To fly in Northrend, players must also reach level 77 and train [[Cold Weather Flying]] for {{cost|1000}}. There are certain mounts that fly even faster, +310% speed, but these still require spending {{cost|5000}} on training and are exceedingly hard to obtain.

−
There are no special mounts for [[Paladins]] and [[Warlocks]] in Outland. [[Druids]] can learn a [[flight form]] from their class [[trainer]] at level 60. At level 70, [[Swift Flight Form]] becomes available through a long but fun questline once you have paid the {{cost|5000}} for the artisan riding skill. Since patch 3.0.3, druids can also obtain Swift Flight Form from their trainers at level 71, but the quest is still available to get it one level earlier, and counts as a [[Feat of Strength]].

== The Deeprun Tram ==
  
−
The [[Deeprun Tram]] provides free transportation between [[Stormwind]] and [[Ironforge]]. The entrances to the tram are found in the [[Dwarven District]] in Stormwind and in [[Tinkertown]] in Ironforge. There are 2 Trams and each of them will need 2 min to get to Ironforge (from Stormwind) and back, meaning that one has to wait 1 min at maximum.
  
−  
−
It is also the only safe way to travel between Stormwind and Ironforge for low-level characters the first time as you cannot use flightpaths until they are discovered. The areas between the two cities are for much higher-level characters.
  
−  
−
== Portals ==
  
−
There are a few cities that provide free portal travel between major cities. In the eastern room off of the courtyard in [[Undercity]], there is a portal that leads to {{bc-inline}}[[Silvermoon City]], which leads players to the [[Inner Sanctum]]. This is the only portal that can be used to go both ways (Undercity → Silvermoon City, Silvermoon City → Undercity). As the portal is [[Horde]]-aligned, it cannot be used by [[Alliance]] characters because it would trivialize raiding of Silvermoon City.
  
−  
−
In {{bc-inline}}[[Shattrath City]], there are portals to all [[capital|capital cities]] in [[Eastern Kingdoms]] and [[Kalimdor]]. There is no portal to {{wotlk-inline}}[[Northrend]]'s capital Dalaran, however. Only your own faction's portals can be used (i.e. a Horde character cannot use an Alliance city's portal). There is also a neutral portal available from [[World's End Tavern]] to the [[Caverns of Time]] if you have achieved [[revered]] reputation with the [[Keepers of Time]].
  
−  
−
{{wotlk-inline}}[[Dalaran]] has portals to all capital cities, including {{bc-inline}}Shattrath City. Again, portals can only be used if the player is part of that city's faction.
  
−  
−
Every capital city has a portal heading to the [[Blasted Lands]] right by the [[Dark Portal]], which is useful for level 58 characters ready to head to [[Outland]].
  
−
In the faction camps just beyond the portal there are portals to [[Stormwind]] and [[Orgrimmar]]. You can use this combo to save [[hearthstone]]'s cooldown.

Millhouse Manastorm is a level 70 elite gnome mage imprisoned in the Arcatraz wing of Tempest Keep. In order to acquire Inv datacrystal11 [The Tempest Key], formerly required to unlock The Eye wing of Tempest Keep, players must enter Arcatraz on heroic mode, and make sure that Millhouse survives until the death of Harbinger Skyriss. He is released during the second wave of the Harbinger Skyriss encounter in the Arcatraz.

He is a gnome of unusual size, being about as tall as a dwarf.

His rescue is a required part of N [70H] Trial of the Naaru: Tenacity.


See Tempest Keep NPCs.

Info

While the Arcatraz is a place of imprisonment for dangerous beings the Naaru encountered, Millhouse, in fact, was merely a victim of circumstance - A stowaway who was in the wrong Naaru vessel at the wrong time. It is unknown how he actually got to a Naaru vessel but it's quite possible that his curiosity over the mysterious Naaru and his knowledge of the Arcane played a major part in his entry.

In combat, he appears to be a jack of all trades, using Improved Frostbolts, Spell frost frost [Ice Block], Spell fire fireball02 [Pyroblast] and Spell nature starfall [Improved Arcane Missiles]. Of course, most elite NPC's have grown beyond the simple boundaries of talent specs, and Millhouse is no different.

Cataclysm

Cataclysm This section concerns content related to Cataclysm.

Millhouse returns in Cataclysm as a member of Twilight's Hammer cult. He is involved in their operations in Deepholm, and appears numerous times in the Stonecore. He has apparently acquired a new spell called "Impending Doooooom!", but its effects are unknown as he is interrupted by the arrival of Corborus. He and his Twilight's Hammer loyalists are easily knocked over the precipice, and is suspected to have been killed in the impact.
