Venture Bay is a harbor located in the small southwestern coastal area of Grizzly Hills, Northrend. The harbor is one of the few harbors Grizzly Hills has being used by the Venture Company, until the war against the Lich King, where it became a center of conflict between Alliance and Horde over its control. Scouts from the Westfall Brigade Encampment for the Alliance and Conquest Hold for the Horde were engaged in constant battle.[1]

Following the war against the Jailer, the harbor was once again under the control of the Venture Company, using it as a base for mining and clear-cutting operations. In his reports, Muradin Bronzebeard mentioned that the Alliance and Horde have ceased fighting over the location, hoping that the factions may one day be able to unite against the Venture Company.[2]

The area contains stables and several lumber mills.

PvP[]

The Venture Bay lighthouse is located in the very south end of the bay. It is caught through PvP means similar to the Broken Hill, The Stadium and The Overlook in Hellfire Peninsula - you must be on the ground near the lighthouse while flagged for PvP (flying does not count). Further, changing ownership does not automatically replace all NPCs of one faction with those of the other. Instead it spawns elite NPCs from the new faction, which then battle the previous faction elites.

The faction in control is given access to a fourth PvP daily quest and the NPC who trades Honor Points for gear.

Quests[]

Venture Bay normally offers three daily quests to both factions, each rewarding 50 Honor Points.

An additional daily quest is offered at the lighthouse for the faction currently in control.

Venture Coin Vendors[]

Vendors are only available when your side (Horde or Alliance) owns the Lighthouse.

The following are available from either

Item Cost Item Type Class
Inv misc armorkit 22 [Goblin Repetition Reducer] 1 Mark of Honor Trinket
Inv misc armorkit 22 [Arcane Revitalizer] 1 Mark of Honor Trinket
