Azshara is a vast coastal zone in northeastern Kalimdor, designed for characters levels 45–55. Once the heart of the Night Elf Empire, it is now an abandoned, magically twisted shoreline populated by naga and elementals. On WoWx5 this zone is prized for valuable herbs, dragonscales, and rare fishing catches.
Location and How to Get There
Azshara borders Teldrassil (via Darkshore to the west) and The Hinterlands (via a mountain pass to the east).
- Alliance: boat to Rut'theran Village → Darkshore → north through Azsharan coast.
- Horde: north from Barrens/Durotar along the coastline.
Key Areas
Ruins of Eldarath
Flooded Night Elf ruins in the eastern part of the zone. Guarded by powerful naga led by Zlizthal the Shaper. Contains:
- Highborne Artifacts for quest objectives.
- Naga Scales and rare blue-quality drops.
Dragon Shore
Southern Azshara hosts a blue dragon enclave:
- Blue Dragon Whelps — non-aggressive, great for collectors.
- Azure Drake / Azure Scalebane — elite 53–55 mobs with quality loot.
Camp Athriel
Small Alliance outpost in the north, the starting point for several quest chains.
Mobs and Farming
| Mob | Level | Notable Loot |
|---|---|---|
| Highborne Apparition | 48–50 | Highborne Robe, Brain Fluid |
| Legashi Rogue | 49–51 | Naga Scales |
| Azure Drake | 53–54 | Dragonscale, blue drops |
| Thunderhead Stagwing | 50–52 | Leather, feathers |
Azure Drakes in southern Azshara are the best spot for Dragonscale farming if you have Dragonscale Leatherworking. On x5 rates materials drop roughly twice as often.
Rare Mobs
- Avalanchion (60+) — massive earth elemental, rare spawn.
- Hetaera (52) — naga elite with a chance at blue armor.

FAQ
Where is the best Dreamfoil route in Azshara? Follow the mountain ridgeline in the central-northern section. Start at the northern pass, circle the hilltops, finish near Camp Athriel.
Can you solo the Ruins of Eldarath? At level 55+ with decent gear — yes. Naga pull in groups of 2–3 and can Slow. Hunters have the easiest time with pet-pull and kiting.
Are there any dungeons in Azshara? No instances in Azshara itself. Closest are Dire Maul (western Feralas) and Blackrock Mountain (via Burning Steppes).
