Stormwind — a guide to the Alliance capital
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru
Stormwind is the main Alliance capital in Elwynn Forest. It is the first big city a human player reaches and a key hub for every Alliance race: bank, auction house, trainers and a flight master are all here. This guide helps you find everything fast among its districts.
First thing, bind your hearthstone to the inn in the Trade District — the bank, auction house and flight master are all a short walk away. One hop home saves dozens of minutes of running between districts.
The districts of Stormwind
The city is split into six districts linked by canals:
| District | What to find |
|---|---|
| Trade District | bank, auction house, inn, flight master nearby |
| Old Town | warrior and rogue trainers, SI:7 headquarters |
| Mage Quarter | mage and warlock trainers |
| Cathedral Square | priest and paladin trainers, Cathedral of Light |
| Dwarven District | engineering, tram to Ironforge |
| The Park | night elves, moonwell |
Use the central canals and bridges as your landmark: every district branches out from them.
Bank, auction house and mail
The city's economic heart is the Trade District. The bank, auction house and mailboxes stand within a few steps of each other.
The Stormwind auction house is the largest on the Alliance side, so this is where you bring goods to sell. How to trade profitably is covered in the auction house guide, and ways to earn stock for sale are in the gold making methods.
Class and profession trainers
Trainers are easy to find by district:
- Warriors and rogues — Old Town.
- Mages and warlocks — the Mage Quarter (warlocks in the Slaughtered Lamb).
- Priests and paladins — Cathedral Square.
- Professions — blacksmithing and engineering in the Dwarven District, tailoring and alchemy near the Mage Quarter.
Humans have no hunters or druids — those classes are trained by night elves in Darnassus. Ready leveling routes for crafts are in the profession guides.
Flight master and roads
The gryphon flight master stands at the entrance to the Trade District — bind this route first. From here flights open across the Alliance Eastern Kingdoms.
The second key transport is the Deeprun Tram in the Dwarven District: it carries you free and fast to Ironforge. How roads, paths and teleports work is detailed in the travel guide.
