Get to Shattrath City in World of Warcraft

Shattrath City is a neutral capital city in the Outland, accessible by both Horde and Alliance players who own the Burning Crusade expansion. There have been several changes to the portals leading to Shattrath, so read on to find up-to-date information. The easiest method takes advantage of direct portals in the Mists of Pandaria cities, but the journey isn't too long from other hubs.

Steps

Traveling from Pandaria

  1. Find the portal in Shrine of the Two Moons. This city from the Mists of Pandaria expansion has a portal to Shattrath City in the Imperial Mercantile, on the upper east floor of the city.
  2. Travel from Shrine of Seven Stars. This is the Alliance city from Mists of Pandaren. The portals are located in the Imperial Exchange, up the eastern stairs from the main hallway.
  3. Consider setting your hearthstone to Shrine. The two Shrine cities are some of the most useful locations for your hearthstone, since they contain portals to all major cities.

Traveling from Other Cities

  1. Take the portal to Hellfire Peninsula. Here are the locations of Outland portals to Hellfire Peninsula from major cities. You must be at least level 58. You'll arrive at the Dark Portal (also known as the Stair of Destiny).
    • Note: if you are level 90+ the Stormwind portal and the Orgrimmar Cleft portal will take you to the Blasted Lands instead — but a new Hellfire portal will appear above them.
    • Orgrimmar: The Valley of Spirits (the troll area): magic users building or The Cleft of Shadows
    • Stormwind: Mage Quarter: Wizard's Sanctum
    • Darnassus: Temple of the Moon
    • Exodar: The Vault of Lights
    • Ironforge: The Mystic Ward
    • Silvermoon: Sunfury Spire: Magisters' section (on the right)
    • Thunder Bluff: Spirit Rise (near Pools of Vision)
    • The Undercity: Magic Quarter
  2. Take a flight path to Honor Hold. Even if you've never been in the Outland before, you should have access to the flight path from Stair of Destiny to Honor Hold.
    • The "Welcome to the Outland" quest will guide you to this flight path.
  3. Take a flight path to Shattrath. Again, all characters know this flight path, even if they've never visited Shattrath before.
    • In the past, there have been bugs that closed off this flight path. This should be fixed, but if it does happen, take the southern exit from Hellfire to Terokkar Forest. Follow the road west at the first opportunity and you'll be heading toward Shattrath City.

Tips

  • Politely ask a level 66+ mage for a portal to Shattrath. Some mages will do this for tips (10–25 gold encouraged), while others will charge a certain amount.
  • If you end up in the level 90+ area of Blasted Lands, look for an NPC named Zidormi at the far northern edge of the area. She can move you to the old version of the Blasted Lands, and from there the Dark Portal will lead you to Hellfire Peninsula. (If you're just trying to get to Shattrath, it's usually faster to return to Orgrimmar or Stormwind and find the correct portal to Hellfire.)
