Easily get 40 Hordies into Stormwind/IF, or 40 alliance members into UC/Orgrimmar!

[guitargod218]

Hey guys, I'm trying to increase my contributions to this great website. Basically, this will help you with sneaking into Stormwind/Ironforge/Orgrimmar/Undericty as a level 77+ for whatever purposes. Whether it be to fish in IF/Org for that rare fish, or to lead a raid into battle, this trick should be able to make it happen that much easier.

The importance of being level 77+ is that it allows you to use your flying mount in Northrend, which is a staple for this trick. Horde have it much easier than Alliance IMO, however.

For Horde: Mount up and get to the lake that Utgarde Keep overlooks, and that borders the port of Valgarde (the Alliance boat entrance into Northrend). Get close to the port, at a SE angle (southeastern),but not too close...we don't wan't to get shot out of the sky. The boat from Stormwind Harbor will come and do a turn, and will dock at the port. Now get ready, when the boat starts to do a slow move towards you (since you're SE of it), fly over to it and land on the safest looking spot (judge that by players and where they're standing). Now, just chill out as you dismount and switch over to Stormwind Harbor. Once there, ride off into the city and have fun with whatever. If you need to get to IF, just take the tram.

For Alliance: This is much tougher IMO, especially with slow flyers, since you require better timing so as not to get shot out of the sky by the patrols. It's almost the same concept as the Horde guide; however, you're landing on a zeppelin that sits in aerially guarded territory. Which means that, you need to:

1) Wait until it leaves and use an epic flyer to board the zeppelin, or

2) Fly onto the zeppelin and incur any wrath you may get from flying guards and potentially from players

From Howling Fjord, you can sneak into the Undercity as the zeppelin arrives there first; from Borean Tundra, you will get to Orgrimmar first. However, once back in the mainlands, you can easily switch cities by boarding the correct zeppelin that goes to that city.


Hopefully, this made enough sense that people will get use from it. If not, just post comments and questions below, and I'll help as best I can.

Come on guys, 63 views and not one comment from anyone.

I know there has to be someone who can type around. Hell, I'll even take a flamer, just so I can prove them wrong :P

meh, there are better, and sneakier ways to get to horde cities than this. no rep from me

[guitargod218]

Yeah, but this IMO is a pretty fast way if you spend a lot of time in Northrend. Plus, landing a flyer on a moving boat is like, waaaaay kewl dood.

[Mewhywhy]

Its cool but in my opnion its just a whole bunch of commen sense.

Ill +rep you for trying to make mmowned a better place tough

next time i expect to see a better post from you ^^

[ByronJC]

this is actually pretty cool, its common sence nonetheless but cool, ty for the post

[MitchBorden]

This post if full of fail without an exploit.

[Greed]

Not an exploit, just common sense. This is a beg for rep thats all.

[guitargod218]

Greed, it actually is in some ways an exploit, because you use transportation that you shouldn't be using, and you get to skip all the guard fights in between you and the zeppelin. It's not a beg for rep, otherwise I would've been like, "OMG plz +rep me". Like I said earlier in the post, I'm the equivalent of a leecher with a few extra rep points, and I wanted to start contributing.

And about the whole common sense thing, it is. But, no one has though of it (at least on my main's server), and we raided SW by doing this. No one had ever considered this a viable mode of transporting 40 or so Horde into SW. We got there from Dalaran in like 5-10 minutes, and had so much less of a fight because we were able to avoid that town square/bank area where people sit around.

[Raskel]

ok, the way into SW makes sense, but to IF/Orgri/UC makes no sense at all

IF arrives in Menthil Harbor
Orgrimarr arrives outside the city
UC is the same as Ogrimarr.

The only thing this might do is shorten travel times, but then again you'll have to move from Dalaran to the respective parts off the map. Mage can portal too Theramore to start with

That's all

[guitargod218]

I never said take the boat to Menethil, I said people who want to go to IF should take the Stormwind Harbor boat, then take the tram over. Orgrimmar is outside the city, and so is UC, but it's literally 100 feet away from the entrance, so I don't see the problem.

And yes, the purpose is to shorten travel times by taking zeppelin/boat, but it's also the coolness/shock factor of using your rival faction's transportation and bringing 40 of your people over to their cities. Plus, all the enemies that are also on that transport will be thinking, "oh &#^@".

[morica]

not so much, if you wanna get into org unseen. go to azshara then get a DK to water walk the raid down to the back door of org. back door is closer to thrall and its closer to the water in the back. plus you skip all the haste of everyone having to have a flyer. plus theres like what 4 guards guarding that entrance. and like what 8-10 plus the big ass elites in the front entrance?

[guitargod218]

Well, I first wrote the guide for horde only, since that's the only way I've done it for a city raid. But then I thought about alliance doing similar, so I added it in too since I've seen alliance board a zeppelin that way once.

[Zonagle]

This should be in the guides section. It's not an exploit. How can you claim it to be? Horde have been able to use Alliance boats, and Alliance have been able to use Horde Zeppelins since the early days of WoW. If Blizzard didn't want this happening, don't you think they'd have fixed it already?

Aside from that, I guess it could be handy but I had already thought of it. On that note, I have something to mention about the Horde way, at the lake below UK. The Alliance guards don't do much damage at all. If I remember right, it's like 300-400. You can just land on the boat and wait.

[Sepsis2x]

I would love to see this mass executed. I doubt that you could get 40 people do it at once though, because a lot of player are inept.

[valita]

This is not an exploit. Its simple strategy that anyone willing to avoid guards with come up to
