WOW Zone:Thousand Needles  

Thousand Needles is a huge canyon in Kalimdor. To the east, this vast area opens up into the Shimmering Flats, a large expanse of salt flats that is being used by various Goblin and Gnomish engineers for their races. Despite the barren terrain, there is a harsh splendor here and the view from the tops of the mesas can be quite spectacular.

Getting Here

Alliance

Alliance players will get here from the north. They can either take the boat to Theramore Isle in Dustwallow Marsh or fly to Mudsprocket. Then, they will run west to the Barrens and follow the road south to the Great Lift (avoiding the guards) and then into Thousand Needles. Alternatively, they can head south from Ratchet in the Barrens.

Either way, the path from Theramore or Mudsprocket tends to be faster but is far more dangerous due to the level of mobs in Dustwallow Marsh.

Horde

Horde players have a much easier time getting to this zone than Alliance. From Camp Taurajo in the Barrens, take the southern road to the Great Lift and take this down into Thousand Needles.

Travel Paths

There is only one flight path in Thousand Needles and that is at Freewind Post.

However, Alliance players can use the outpost at Thalanaar to the west or Gadgetzan the south to navigate the zone.

Freewind Post

• Thunder Bluff
• The Crossroads, The Barrens
• Camp Taurajo, The Barrens
• Camp Mojache, Feralas
• Gadgetzan, Tanaris
