Other Modes of Travel
MOUNTS
Once you achieve a very high level, you can purchase a mount to serve
as your primary mode of transportation within a continent. Mounts
travel much faster than normal characters, but they are very expensive.
Only the wealthiest of high-level characters have the means to buy
mounts. Each race has its own unique type of mount. Warlocks and
paladins of any race do not need to buy mounts since they can earn
class-specific mounts through quests.
TRAVEL FORMS
Druids and shaman can learn spells that transform them into animals
for increased movement speed. While in these travel forms, they can
move much faster than normal players.
SPELLS
The mage, shaman, and warlock all have spells useful for instantaneous
transportation across the world.
Settlements
The world of Warcraft is a vibrant place full of wild dangers, but also great
civilization. The shining centers of safety and culture in Azeroth are
settlements.
There are settlements of varying sizes dispersed around the world of
Warcraft. The largest such settlements are the racial capital cities. These are
the human city of Stormwind, the dwarven city of Ironforge, the night elf
city of Darnassus, the orc city of Orgrimmar, the undead city of Undercity,
and the tauren city of Thunder Bluff. Gnomes share the dwarven city and
trolls share the orc city. In these cities you can find most class trainers, trade
skill trainers, flight masters, most merchants, inns, and banks. The leaders
of each race also make these capitals their home, and many quests will
originate and end there.
Other smaller settlements are located in various zones throughout the
world. In general, most beginning and intermediate zones have at least one
main settlement and several smaller settlements.
Most major settlements that aren’t the size of capitals, including the goblin
ports of Booty Bay and Ratchet, will have inns and merchants. Some of
them might have class or trade skill trainers. Most of these settlements,
though, at least have an inn. However, the outposts in the most remote
zones might not even have that.
