For mages in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, mastering the art of teleportation is paramount. A good mage always knows their way around, and that starts with finding the right Portal Trainer. So, where exactly do you locate these crucial NPCs in the Dragon Isles and beyond?
The primary Mage Portal Trainer for Dragonflight, specifically for Alliance players, is Alregosa. You can find her in Valdrakken, the seat of the Aspects, at coordinates 59, 42. She’s located next to the two dragons that are actively channeling the open portals. Alregosa teaches mages Teleport: Valdrakken at level 62 and Portal: Valdrakken at level 68.
Now, let’s dive into some frequently asked questions to cover all your portal-related needs!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Mage Portals in Dragonflight
1. How do I unlock the portal to Dragonflight destinations?
To unlock the portal to Valdrakken, you must first complete the quest “To Valdrakken.” For access to The Waking Shores, utilize the Rugged Dragonscale located at the southernmost dock of Stormwind Harbor. Speak to Chrovo at the end of the dock to inquire about its arrival time. Note that you don’t truly “unlock” portals to other Dragonflight zones in the traditional sense; they become accessible through regular travel (flying, dragonriding) once you progress through the main questline.
2. Where do I learn the portal to Stormwind?
For aspiring mages looking to teleport to Stormwind, seek out Larimaine Purdue. She’s a human portal trainer nestled in the Wizard’s Sanctum within the Mage Quarter of Stormwind City.
3. Are there portals within Valdrakken itself?
Yes, but not in the traditional sense of mage-created portals. Valdrakken has portals to various dungeons and raids. The mage portal trainer is a seperate service.
4. How do I learn portals as a mage in Dragonflight?
As mentioned earlier, Alregosa in Valdrakken is your go-to for learning Dragonflight portals. Remember, she’s situated near the dragons channeling the magical energies for transportation.
5. What if there are no portals in Orgrimmar or Stormwind?
A common issue arises when players don’t see portals in Orgrimmar or Stormwind. Usually, this is because the character hasn’t completed the Legion introductory questline. Completing this chain should restore the portals and associated NPCs.
6. What level do mages learn portals and teleports?
Mages gain access to teleports at earlier levels, specifically levels 20 and 30. Portals, which can transport entire parties, are learned at levels 40 and 50. Keep in mind that both require reagents: Runes of Teleportation for teleports and Runes of Portals for portals.
7. How can I get from Orgrimmar to the Dragon Isles?
To journey from Orgrimmar to the Dragon Isles, head to the zeppelin tower located outside the city. Wait for the Defiant Dragonscale zeppelin to arrive and board it for a direct route to the isles.
8. Where can I find the Dark Portal in Dragonflight?
The Dark Portal hasn’t moved! Alliance players can ride or fly to Nethergarde Keep, while Horde players can travel to Dreadmaul Hold. From either location, follow the road down to the Portal crater.
9. What exactly does a Portal Trainer do?
Portal trainers are exclusively for mages. They provide the spells needed to learn both Teleports (which transport only the mage) and Portals (which transport the mage and their party members).
10. Where can I find Portal Trainers in other locations besides Dragonflight?
- Shadowlands (Stormwind): The portal trainer is on the second floor of the building at coordinates 79.8, 69.0, east of the flight point.
- Orgrimmar: Seek out Rundok, an orc portal trainer near the Arcane Enclave in the Cleft of Shadow and in the Pathfinder’s Den.
11. Can I start Dragonflight content at level 58?
Yes! To embark on your adventure in the Dragon Isles, you need to own the Dragonflight expansion and have a character at level 58 or higher.
12. How do I unlock Adventure Mode for alts in Dragonflight?
Dragon Isles Adventure Mode unlocks on your alts after you reach level 68 on your main character and complete the campaign storyline in each of the four main zones: The Waking Shores, Ohn’ahran Plains, The Azure Span, and Thaldraszus.
13. How do I get to Darkmoon Faire from Orgrimmar during Dragonflight?
Reach Darkmoon Island via the portals in Elwynn Forest (Alliance) or Mulgore (Horde). A Darkmoon Faire Mystic Mage in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Dalaran can teleport you to these portals for a fee.
14. Can I unlock flying immediately in Dragonflight?
While you don’t get traditional flying right away, you will get dragonriding when you progress through the Dragonflight quest line.
15. What resources can I leverage to understand how to better design gameful learning experiences?
Consider looking to the educational resources provided by the Games Learning Society, found at GamesLearningSociety.org, for more insights.
