I hope everyone is enjoying Shadowlands! I am!
As with BfA, it will probably be some time before this blog sees activity. With exploring still a challenge and the game world still unfolding, I’m still discovering what to post. It looks like the developers are acknowledging RPers heavily this time around, so I expect a lot of content in the future for you guys. Until then!
Location: Area 52: Askew Alchemist, Modest Lodge, and The Last Pitstop In Space
Zone: Netherstorm
Notes: Outland remains a bit dry on habitable structures (this tends to happen when much of the planet crumbles away), but poking around the pockets of civilization can still reveal some charming little claims to stake. That is, if you don’t necessarily mind being isolated on a dying chunk of rock floating through the nether with no clear fate.
You can just teleport back if things start falling apart on you.
A little house, a (very tilted) alchemist’s workshop, and little bar all wait for occupants to fill them.
Location: Nighthold Nook
Zone: Suramar
Notes: The Nighthold has changed a little since I last visited for this blog, and while some areas have been repopulated, this little quiet nook off to the side remains free for someone to curl up and finally get some uninterrupted reading done with the perfect ambiance to do so.
Location: Tauren Spirit Guide
Zone: Stonetalon/Barrens border
Notes: This seems to be where the Tauren of the Barrens region prepare their dead for their journey beyond. Nobody’s around right now, but try not to be weird about the giant pipe anyway.
Location: Stormrage Barrow Dens
Zone: Moonglade
Notes: It doesn’t matter how old you are; places like this will still make you feel young and like you have seen nothing.
Unless you’re a draenei, I guess. Those guys have seen a lot.
Beautiful elven ruins slowly being reclaimed by nature guard a trio of barrow dens, two of which are free to explore unhindered. Try not to get lost in them!
Location: Marsh Frigate
Zone: Swamp of Sorrows
Notes: Another Alliance ship to call your own, a little closer to a settlement than the others in this zone.
lunasleepwalks said:Would it be alright to use your photos as reference images for WoW fanart? If not, that's completely okay
Absolutely! I’m even okay with people using them as straight-up backgrounds to paste onto, if they want. They’re just screenshots :D
A link back would be rad though.
Location: Stormsong Altar
Zone: Tiragarde Sound (Boralus)
Notes: Get up to some Weird Shit at this appropriately ominous altar! The depths beneath it hide all the horrifying things you could possibly need to summon up something to make adventurers come after you. Free corpse included!
Location: Surwich Craftsman’s Hut
Zone: Blasted Lands
Notes: More empty houses! We can’t have enough. Sometimes one cozy room to keep you warm and fed is all you need.
Location: Dampwick Hideaway
Zone: Tiragarde Sound (Boralus)
Notes: The porch is gone? Can’t have sh*t in Dampwick Ward.
But maybe for the better. No porch means no easy access, which means in spite of the hostile neighborhood, this little home is free of squatters and ransackers.
