How To Get A Level 1 Alliance Toon To Booty Bay In 15 Minutes Or Less
So there I was 53 minutes and 17 corpse runs into my attempts to get an Alliance character to Booty Bay, just about to give up the whole idea when a guildie heard my plea on Vent and mentioned this tiny tidbit … It was so good that I can’t help but share it with you folks. Ok, I exaggerate a bit. But if you’ve ever tried to get all the way to Booty Bay before level 20 you know it can be a bear – or at least a monkey.
There is a really good reason why I wanted a low level toon in Booty Bay, but you’re going to have to wait for that part. But this tip is so good it couldn’t wait at all and I didn’t want it getting buried in the reason I was trying to get to Stranglethorn in the first place.
You can use this technique to get just about anywhere between Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms at even level 1 with absolutely no worries whatsoever, and you’ll be moving faster to boot – so here is the killer low level travel tip from the folks in the Dominate guild.
(This is certified to be working as of Patch 3.1.3)
As a side note – it’s not that we forgot about the horde (they can use this too)it’s just that when it comes to getting to Booty Bay, the Horde have it easy: Orgrimmar to Ratchet and on to Booty Bay. But for the Alliance … Good Grief! … until now. . .
So here’s how this goes:
- Create a Human (shortest distance to run from start zone)
- Die (Yes … get killed, anywhere will do)
- In spirit form (50% speed increase) Walk/Run south, out of Elwynn Forest, across Duskwood (you can even run on the river between Westfall and Duskwood if you want) and down to Stranglethorn Vale.
- Stand next to the Spirit Healer outside of Booty Bay (if you follow the road you can’t miss her)
- Log out and exit the game while still dead
- Log back in and accept the rez (No sickness because you’re level 1 ) It seems that exiting the game resets the location of your body to the closest Spirit Healer
Now you can get your new level 1 character almost anywhere in Azeroth in record time. This is just as valid for the Horde as it is for Alliance. You can get your level 1 Tauren to Orgrimmar if you like, or your Night Elf to Ironforge faster then you ever could before. No more begging for a portal, or trying to buy an escort.
Here is why this particular trick comes in handy in one word: Arbitrage
Now that you know, Get out there and DOMINATE.
