Mages and Shamans can go somewhere else 1) Getting out of tight spots: Stuck in Kel Thuzard’s throne room, but you’ve destroyed your hearthstone so you can loot Betrayer of Humanity? Have no fear, just drop raid group (/leave party) and wait for the friendly 1 minute countdown to dalaran! This basically works for anything that requires a quick exit without a pocket mage in hand, from heroic halls of lightning to being stuck on a dragon in EoE to running your friend’s alt through utgarde keep. Hearthstone missing or on cooldown? Zone into a dungeon after partying with a friend, and leave group right after that. Presto, Dalaran (or hearth bind point) in 60 seconds. 2) Popping by orgrimmar/stormwind before a raid or wintergrasp As we all know, those two cities are the heart of the respective factions. While you may receive trade channel news in Dalaran, most face to face trades will take place in those particular cities, not to mention access to respecs and the auction houses, and also the honor points quartermaster. If your hearthstone is on cooldown, and you’re stuck in orgrimmar. Invite a friend/guildy, run to Rage Fire Chasm (yes, nostalgia!), and follow the steps in (1). Tada, you’re back in Dalaran after your Auction House visits. 3) Battle Ground Hearther Here’s how it works, run around the battlegrounds portals in dalaran, queing up for 2 different bgs. (you can que up to 3) I use SotA, EotS and AB for 2-5 minutes trips, WSG for 10 min trips, and AV for 20-40 minute trips. Lets say you pick up SotA, take the portal to your cities, buy your last minute flasks and consumables, click enter bg sota once it pops up. Type /afk, and you’re back in dalaran with a 15 minute cooldown. (yeah, its the deserter debuff ) Its a step up from blowing the hearthstone cooldown, and this doesn’t require you to drop your current raid group. On the downside, it can be totally unpredictable. On the plus side, you may zone into a half finished bg, which means free marks! 4) Chaining BG hearths and HS cds to do quests. For cooks out there, on some days, you’ll have to use chilled meats and rhino meats. On some days you might buy from the auction house, those days, you can use either one of the above methods to pop by the friendly orgrimmar/stormwind auctioneer. On other days, the prices are obscenely sky-high, on these days you use (3) and fly to storm peaks, there’s a good grinding spot in the chasm outside of Valkyrion where rhinos gather, and valkyrion proto drakes themselves drop chilled meat. And on good days, you might find some 1:general channel gems. Where do I find rhino meat? I’m not sure, but I would think rhinos would be a good start No, rhino meats only drop from the Time Lost Protodrakes My bad, you’re right, wowhead shows that rhino meat only drops from time lost protodrakes Back to the topic, those areas are also pretty good for completing your Jewelcrafting dailies. Simply chain up BG ques, fly there, whack mobs, loot, rinse, repeat, and click enter battleground to follow step (3) 5) While (1) and (3) are more well known, here’s a final hearth trick that few people are aware of. Recall wintergrasp, the wonder of wonders for farming eternals and herbs and more? Well, in the exact spot where a battleground icon appears, a wintergrasp icon exists that immediately ports you out of wintergrasp to your hearthpoint once you click “leave wintergrasp”. Yes, immediately. So, you can ride around farming your hearts content, and then WG hearth out, all in the space of 0 seconds. Sure, it resets your cooldown, but you save idling for 10 seconds. But say you don’t want to waste your cooldown. Here’s a last trick. Get yourself killed or go to a spirit healer. Ask the spirit healer to port you back to your landing point, you should see the goblin flightmaster. From there its a 2 minute journey at 60 silver cost to dalaran. Pretty nifty isn’t it?
