Bloodmyst Isle is the second of the two Draenei isles off the western coast of Kalimdor, sitting just north of Azuremyst Isle and The Exodar. Once a lush Night Elf woodland, it was scarred red by crystal fallout from the crashed Exodar and is now the home of Blood Watch, the main Draenei leveling hub for characters around level 10-20 …

Maldraxxus is the war-torn plane of the undead legions, home to the Necrolord Covenant and the second zone most players explore in the Shadowlands expansion. Every road into Maldraxxus runs through Oribos, the eternal city, so this guide covers the fastest way in from every major hub — plus what you need unlocked before the portal even shows up. Quick …

Moonglade is the peaceful, neutral home of the Cenarion Circle, tucked into the mountains near Mount Hyjal.

This guide breaks …

K’aresh is the major new zone added in The War Within Patch 11.2, home to the ethereal and Broker hub of Tazavesh, the Manaforge raids, and the fight against Dimensius, the All-Devouring. Unlike some of the trickier zones added in past expansions, getting to K’aresh is fairly painless once you know where to look — but the first-time unlock still …

The Isle of Quel’Danas is one of the most historic zones in World of Warcraft, home to the Sunwell, Magisters’ Terrace, and the Shattered Sun Offensive.
