If you're alliance and use the lift, be careful of horde players camping the guards there, waiting for Alliance players to use the lift. Once you hit the guards at the top of the lift, you are flagged for PVP. Best strategy if you do get attacked by Horde players and know you're going to die is jump. Once at the bottom, its much easier to get your body and be on your way again. If you're going to die, it may as well be where you are not going to have to tangle with the guards again when you rez.

If you make it, head West toward Feralas and right on the border is an alliance Hippogryph Trainer to save you having to mess with the lift guards again. There are a lot of alliance quests that take you to Thousand Needles and beyond so it's nice to be able to use this FM instead of facing a long run from Ratchet.

On a pvp server prepared to get ganked a lot. 70s love to spend their time killing everyone, even in the "safety" of Gadgetzan. Other than that, there are a lot of good quests and grinding is actually kind of fun. The southwestern part of the map will be most miner's first time seeing thorium, and a trip around the outside of the zone will also net lots of iron, and some mithril. The zone is also a skinner's dream since there are so many scorps, basilisks, and hyenas.

I was mindind my own buiness, completing the Cuegro Gold quest, when I saw an island further south (south of Land's End Beach). I swam and swam and died of fatigue lessthan 40 yards from safe waters. I rezed and pushed for that last 40 yards and made it to an island. It has 43-45lvl pirates and lashers, plus a couple of structures. Does anyone know why that island is there?

So, you've quested and leveled in the Thousand Needles, The Barrens, maybe Durotar, Desolace, and Probably the Badlands. So you're sick of deserts, right?

You're in luck! Tanaris is a desert you'll love.

easy quests, great grinding spots. The only thing you have to worry about is travling in the middle of Tanaris, because mobs are much closer.


and just so you know, there is only one graveyard. You die on one side of tanaris, you end up on the other. :)
