How to Reach Durotar and Orgrimmar in WoW 1.12.1

◆Where Durotar Is

Durotar lies on the eastern coast of Kalimdor. The Southfury River separates it from the Barrens in the west, and the Great Sea washes its eastern shore. Orgrimmar sits in the cliffs in the north of the zone, Razor Hill in the center, the Valley of Trials starting area in the south, and Sen'jin Village on the southeastern coast with the Echo Isles offshore. On the coast not far from Razor Hill stands Tiragarde Keep, held by Kul Tiran sailors. The zone is for levels 1-10. More details are in the Durotar article.

How to Get to Durotar as Horde

Orcs and trolls. In 1.12 both races start in the Valley of Trials. From the valley the road leads north to Razor Hill and from there further north to the gates of Orgrimmar.

Undead (from Undercity):

1. Leave Undercity and walk to the zeppelin tower in Tirisfal Glades - it stands near Undercity, not far from Brill.
2. Board the zeppelin to Orgrimmar. The other flight from this tower goes to Grom'gol Base Camp - do not mix up the platforms.
3. The zeppelin lands at the tower outside the Orgrimmar gates, right in Durotar. Discover the flight path in the city.

Tauren (from Mulgore):

1. From Mulgore, follow the road east into the Barrens.
2. Reach the Crossroads and discover the flight path there.
3. From the Crossroads, follow the road northeast to Far Watch Post.
4. Cross the bridge over the Southfury River - you are now in Durotar. Orgrimmar is to the north, Razor Hill to the south.

After level 20, shamans can shorten the trip considerably with Ghost Wolf.

How to Get to Durotar as Alliance

Durotar is the heart of the Horde: the Alliance has no flight paths or ports here, and guards protect Orgrimmar and the villages. Only come here at a high level and with a group.

1. The shortest way is through the neutral port of Ratchet on the Barrens coast. A boat runs there from Booty Bay.
2. From Ratchet, swim east across the water to Darkspear Strand in southern Durotar - the stretch of sea between the port and Sen'jin Village.
3. The second option is from the north: from Darkshore through Ashenvale into the northern Barrens and then east to the river. This route is longer and passes Horde outposts.

How the port works and which boats call there is covered in the Ratchet guide.

Where the Entrances Are and What to Watch For

• The main entrance to Orgrimmar is the gate on the southern side of the city. The zeppelin tower stands not far from it, already in Durotar.
• The Ragefire Chasm dungeon is inside Orgrimmar, in the Cleft of Shadow. The detailed route is in how to get to Ragefire Chasm.
• The bridge at Far Watch Post is the main land crossing into the Barrens. Further south the river can only be crossed by swimming.
• Razor Hill and Sen'jin Village have no flight paths in 1.12 - you can only fly from Orgrimmar.

Routes to Durotar: Summary Table

◆Why Go to Durotar

Orcs and trolls spend their first 10 levels here - quests in order are listed in the Durotar leveling guide. For other Horde races the main goal is Orgrimmar: the auction house, bank, class trainers and zeppelins described in the Orgrimmar city guide. At roughly levels 13-18 the Ragefire Chasm dungeon awaits inside the city, and after level 10 the road leads into the Barrens. To cut down on travel time, read the flight paths guide.
