This blog no longer updates!

Hello new followers! I see you appear in my notifs from time to time, and I am not sure if you are aware that this is a dead blog.

This blog remains open for archival purposes and will stay open for as long as WoW remains online as a game, but it is very doubtful I will ever play again. Feel free to follow if that's just how you bookmark blogs, but even with Kotick's departure, I cannot see myself returning. I do thank you for all the support and love, and I hope people continue to use this blog for ideas as long as there's an RP community to need it.

So, are you coming back to find spots over in Dragonflight, or not?

Perhaps if Activision fires Bobby Kotick.

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Area 52: Askew Alchemist, Modest Lodge, and The Last Pitstop In Space

Zone: Netherstorm

Notes: Outland remains a bit dry on habitable structures (this tends to happen when much of the planet crumbles away), but poking around the pockets of civilization can still reveal some charming little claims to stake. That is, if you don’t necessarily mind being isolated on a dying chunk of rock floating through the nether with no clear fate.

You can just teleport back if things start falling apart on you.

A little house, a (very tilted) alchemist’s workshop, and little bar all wait for occupants to fill them.

Caveats/accessibility: BC content, quest hub (though not a high traffic one)

Coordinates:

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Nighthold Nook

Zone: Suramar

Notes: The Nighthold has changed a little since I last visited for this blog, and while some areas have been repopulated, this little quiet nook off to the side remains free for someone to curl up and finally get some uninterrupted reading done with the perfect ambiance to do so.

Caveats/accessibility: Flying required for Alliance, Horde recommended due to nearby guards

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Tauren Spirit Guide

Zone: Stonetalon/Barrens border

Notes: This seems to be where the Tauren of the Barrens region prepare their dead for their journey beyond. Nobody’s around right now, but try not to be weird about the giant pipe anyway.

Caveats/accessibility: Flying required

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Stormrage Barrow Dens

Zone: Moonglade

Notes: It doesn’t matter how old you are; places like this will still make you feel young and like you have seen nothing. 

Unless you’re a draenei, I guess. Those guys have seen a lot.

Beautiful elven ruins slowly being reclaimed by nature guard a trio of barrow dens, two of which are free to explore unhindered. Try not to get lost in them!

Caveats/accessibility: None, but flying (or being a druid) makes getting there much easier.

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Marsh Frigate

Zone: Swamp of Sorrows

Notes: Another Alliance ship to call your own, a little closer to a settlement than the others in this zone.

Caveats/accessibility: Alliance recommended

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Would it be alright to use your photos as reference images for WoW fanart? If not, that's completely okay

Absolutely! I’m even okay with people using them as straight-up backgrounds to paste onto, if they want. They’re just screenshots :D 

A link back would be rad though.

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Stormsong Altar

Zone: Tiragarde Sound (Boralus)

Notes: Get up to some Weird Shit at this appropriately ominous altar! The depths beneath it hide all the horrifying things you could possibly need to summon up something to make adventurers come after you. Free corpse included!

Caveats/accessibility: There may be some quest phasing. The area looked the same (quest NPC already dead) on a Horde character and a boosted Alliance; as always, tell me if you experience trouble.

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Surwich Craftsman’s Hut

Zone: Blasted Lands

Notes: More empty houses! We can’t have enough. Sometimes one cozy room to keep you warm and fed is all you need.

Caveats/accessibility: Alliance only. Popular location.

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Dampwick Hideaway

Zone: Tiragarde Sound (Boralus)

Notes: The porch is gone? Can’t have sh*t in Dampwick Ward.

But maybe for the better. No porch means no easy access, which means in spite of the hostile neighborhood, this little home is free of squatters and ransackers. 

Caveats/accessibility: BfA zone, not alliance only but recommended, flying also recommended because otherwise you have to hoof it through hostiles to get there.

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Fuselight “Lube Station”

Zone: Badlands

Notes: Take over the last stop for refreshments in the desert! It’s a tall order for a little Goblin, making sure no one is thirsty out in a place like this, but you can handle it, especially because that means people will pay a premium. 

Caveats/accessibility: None

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Traveler’s Demise

Zone: Tiragarde Sound

Notes: Well, this looks like a nice peace, scenic place to set up camp before heading into the city. Why don’t we just head over to that ca-- oh.

Well, at least it looks like it’s been a while.

Caveats/accessibility: BfA content

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Upton Manor (Marley’s Seaweed Shop)

Zone: Tiragarde Sound (Boralus)

Notes: A beautiful waterfront home with a fountain, garden, and basement that hides a little friend. Hopefully you don’t mind the children who occasionally go down there to visit.

Caveats/accessibility: BfA content, Alliance Only

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Bloodmoon Isle

Zone: Grizzly Hills

Notes: Another place that I was hesitant to post for not entirely fitting, but like the pit beneath Icecrown, I have participated in and ran multiple amazing events here. The unique tower follows a simple but harrowing path to the top, bones scattered and gore splattered. Arugal’s cult tower does still crawl with wolfcultists, but hopefully no one is foolish enough to travel here alone.

Caveats/accessibility: WotLK content, some level-appropriate hostile mobs, although they are not very dense and won’t cause much of an issue for leveled players.

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Amphitheater of Annihilation

Zone: Ashran

Notes: Well that’s a dramatic name for a racetrack, isn’t it?

I love this place, though. It’s a racetrack! You can do so many things with it. Mostly races, but, you know. We’re imaginative types here.

Caveats/accessibility: WoD content

Coordinates: Ashran

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Misty Reed Farm

Zone: Swamp of Sorrows

Notes: I mean, the old man isn’t using it anymore, right?

A tiny little farm perfect for someone who doesn’t mind a compact lifestyle.

Caveats/accessibility: Occasional war campaign quest traffic
