Navigating the vast world of Azeroth can sometimes be tricky, especially when trying to revisit locations from older expansions. For Alliance players looking to travel from Boralus to Zandalar, the process is straightforward once you understand the initial steps. The primary method involves using the Wind’s Redemption, a ship located in Boralus harbor. This article will guide you through the process and answer frequently asked questions related to traveling between these two key areas in Battle for Azeroth (BFA).
The Wind’s Redemption: Your Gateway to Zandalar
The main method for Alliance players to travel from Boralus to Zandalar is via the Wind’s Redemption, a ship docked in Boralus harbor. However, simply walking onto the ship won’t get you there. There are a few prerequisites you need to meet first.
Unlocking the War Campaign
The first requirement is to have unlocked the start of your Alliance War Campaign. This campaign is initiated through quests on the ship, the Wind’s Redemption, in Boralus. This questline isn’t tied to a specific level, but generally, players reach this point around level 30.
Establishing a Foothold
As part of the Alliance War Campaign, you will be tasked with establishing a foothold in one of Zandalar’s zones. This is a crucial step. You’ll select a zone, and completing the initial quests there will unlock the ability to return to Zandalar via the Wind’s Redemption.
Returning to Zandalar
Once you’ve completed these steps, returning to Zandalar is simple. Head to the Wind’s Redemption in Boralus and speak with Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth. She will offer you the option to travel to your chosen foothold location in Zandalar. You can find her on the ship where the Mission Command Table and Zandalar Campaign scouting map are located.
Additional Notes for Smooth Travel
Keep in mind these details when traveling between Boralus and Zandalar:
- Halford Wyrmbane: Before embarking on your initial trip, you might need to speak with Halford Wyrmbane on the ship to listen to the battle plan. This is often part of the initial War Campaign quests.
- Reputation: The War Campaign is gated behind the 7th Legion reputation. You might need to do a few introductory quests to earn some reputation with them to continue the campaign.
- Zuldazar Foothold questchain: Completing the initial Zuldazar foothold quests is necessary to unlock fast travel between the two areas for the Ready for War achievement.
- Portal access: If you chose Zandalar, once you do some quests in Zuldazar, you’ll unlock a portal in Orgrimmar’s portal room for quicker travel.
- Phasing Issues: If you’re having issues finding Grand Admiral Jes-Tereth or other NPCs, check if you have any pending quests in your log related to the Alliance War Campaign or Allied Races.
