Darnassus — Night Elf Capital in WoW Classic
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru
Darnassus is the Night Elf capital perched atop Teldrassil, the great World Tree on Kalimdor's northwestern shore. It is the most remote and least-populated Alliance city, but essential for Night Elf and Druid players. On WowX5 x5, Darnassus offers a peaceful alternative to the busier Stormwind trade scene.
The Darnassus Auction House is SEPARATE from the Stormwind/Ironforge market. If you want the widest audience for a valuable item, haul it to Stormwind instead.

|---|---|
| Ferry | From Rut'heran Village at Teldrassil base — ~2-3 min |
| Gryphon | From Stormwind via Dun Morogh (~7 min) |
