#water setting

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: Dazar Falls

Zone: Zuldazar

Notes: Alas, not a single one has a cave behind it. But they are beautiful regardless, overlooking the golden ruins as they feed the reservoir around it. A small path weaves between the falls; a scenic hike perfect for forgetting about grand cosmic wars.

Caveats/accessibility: BfA content

Coordinates: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: The Reef Princess

Zone: Tiragarde Sound

Notes: The naval nation doesn’t disappoint with their ships! This beauty floats idly outside the walls of Boralus, no commander or swab to be seen. Even Horde will have no trouble commandeering this vessel, it seems.

A stocked galley, hung hammocks, and set sails need only a crew to use them!

Caveats/accessibility: BfA content. Flying needed to reach the deck.

Location: 

[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]

Location: Mugamba Springs

Zone: Zuldazar

Notes: High above the city, barely visible in this tiny outcropping, hides a hidden little natural wonder perfect for anyone looking to become a hermit but not willing to sacrifice their good pyramid views. 

Caveats/accessibility: BfA zone, flying required.

Location: 

[open-world-azeroth]

Location: The Dark Heart of Icecrown

Zone: Icecrown

Notes: I had to consider whether not not to include this, because it kind of breaks my rule about hostile mobs, but then I remembered how many events I’ve personally run down here and decided: onto the blog it goes. There is no shortage of magic and wonder down here, nor of terror; an ancient evil entirely unrelated to the one above permeates these ancient Nerubian tunnels.

Caveats/accessibility: WotLK content. There are hostile mobs throughout, although not particularly distracting in many places. With a group that can handle them it’s completely worthwhile.

Coordinates: 

[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: 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: Kezan Runner

Zone: Durotar

Notes: Don’t ask how this thing stays afloat. Answering those kind of things isn’t my job, I’m just here to act like a fake real estate agent for video game houses.

Speaking of which, you could totally live on this thing. Windows, storage, and at least ten feet of space. That qualifies as a room! Take over as a mobile workshop or simply live a life of luxury on your ocean-bound home that is probably at least a little more safe with Azshara out of the picture, right?

Also available in Zuldazar with a little flying, and likewise with Darkshore. This is the most “accessible” version, in my opinion, but Darkshore is most private.

Caveats/accessibility: This is empty as a 120 Horde who has completed the war campaign. High level alliance may be able to use it without aggroing guards on the dock, but I’m going to say Horde Only.
