Heading to a high-level zone with nothing on your mind but the goal of securing a flight path might seem silly and pointless at first, but there\u2019s definitely an advantage to be had when you have access to the whole of Azeroth before anyone else.\u00a0 Having a flight path unlocked before you start questing in the zone where it\u2019s located will make you more than ready to tackle that zone as soon as you\u2019re\u00a0a high enough level to go there. Here are four flight paths you should consider getting right now in the WoW Classic Season of Discovery so that they\u2019re checked off and ready to go when the second phase of the season begins.\u00a0 Booty Bay, Stranglethorn Vale Unquestionably, the most important flight path you can get right now is the one that leads to Booty Bay. The pirate capital on the southern tip of the Eastern Kingdoms will be the most pivotal hub location in phase two of the Season of Discovery, with Stranglethorn Vale set to be the main questing zone, as well as the home of the game\u2019s next open-world PvP event. Before that all kicks off, you\u2019ll want to have the flight path that leads directly into Booty Bay, giving you immediate access to STV when phase two begins. Alliance players will have to walk into Booty Bay down from Darkshire, while Horde players can take a boat into the port city from Ratchet in the Barrens.\u00a0 Southshore\/Tarren Mill, Hillsbrad Foothills The Hillsbrad Foothills and Alterac Mountains are popular leveling zones for players of both factions in their mid-20s and early-30s. Getting these flight paths (you can only get one depending on your faction) is a must when you factor in how many quests you\u2019re going to potentially be doing in these zones. Plus, Alliance players will need to get the Southshore flight path as soon as possible anyway, considering it\u2019s the closest point of interest to the Shadowfang Keep dungeon, which is already one of the most relevant dungeons in the game during phase one.\u00a0 Gadgetzan, Tanaris Although Tanaris won\u2019t become a major zone of interest until phase three\u2014when all of the quests in the zone become relevant and experience-rich\u2014heading here now and checking off the box is worth your time. There\u2019s a decent chance that some of the top-end players in phase two get ambitious and run the nearby dungeon of Zul\u2019Farrak, too, so having a fast-access way of getting there would be well worth it.\u00a0 Aerie Peak\/Revantusk Village, the Hinterlands There\u2019s nothing happening in the Hinterlands right now, but eventually, the zone will be worth visiting in the later phases of SoD, with plentiful experience to be gained for both Alliance and Horde questers. Exploring the topmost part of the Eastern Kingdoms now is a worthwhile investment, considering it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll be spending a lot of time there in future phases.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/25042737\/media_image_gryphon_full.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1068392"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1068392"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1068392\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1068492,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1068392\/revisions\/1068492"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1068392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1068392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1068392"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1068392"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1068392"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1068392"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1068392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Heading to a high-level zone with nothing on your mind but the goal of securing a flight path might seem silly and pointless at first, but there\u2019s definitely an advantage to be had when you have access to the whole of Azeroth before anyone else.\u00a0 Having a flight path unlocked before you start questing in the zone where it\u2019s located will make you more than ready to tackle that zone as soon as you\u2019re\u00a0a high enough level to go there. Here are four flight paths you should consider getting right now in the WoW Classic Season of Discovery so that they\u2019re checked off and ready to go when the second phase of the season begins.\u00a0 Booty Bay, Stranglethorn Vale Unquestionably, the most important flight path you can get right now is the one that leads to Booty Bay. The pirate capital on the southern tip of the Eastern Kingdoms will be the most pivotal hub location in phase two of the Season of Discovery, with Stranglethorn Vale set to be the main questing zone, as well as the home of the game\u2019s next open-world PvP event. Before that all kicks off, you\u2019ll want to have the flight path that leads directly into Booty Bay, giving you immediate access to STV when phase two begins. Alliance players will have to walk into Booty Bay down from Darkshire, while Horde players can take a boat into the port city from Ratchet in the Barrens.\u00a0 Southshore\/Tarren Mill, Hillsbrad Foothills The Hillsbrad Foothills and Alterac Mountains are popular leveling zones for players of both factions in their mid-20s and early-30s. Getting these flight paths (you can only get one depending on your faction) is a must when you factor in how many quests you\u2019re going to potentially be doing in these zones. Plus, Alliance players will need to get the Southshore flight path as soon as possible anyway, considering it\u2019s the closest point of interest to the Shadowfang Keep dungeon, which is already one of the most relevant dungeons in the game during phase one.\u00a0 Gadgetzan, Tanaris Although Tanaris won\u2019t become a major zone of interest until phase three\u2014when all of the quests in the zone become relevant and experience-rich\u2014heading here now and checking off the box is worth your time. There\u2019s a decent chance that some of the top-end players in phase two get ambitious and run the nearby dungeon of Zul\u2019Farrak, too, so having a fast-access way of getting there would be well worth it.\u00a0 Aerie Peak\/Revantusk Village, the Hinterlands There\u2019s nothing happening in the Hinterlands right now, but eventually, the zone will be worth visiting in the later phases of SoD, with plentiful experience to be gained for both Alliance and Horde questers. Exploring the topmost part of the Eastern Kingdoms now is a worthwhile investment, considering it\u2019s likely we\u2019ll be spending a lot of time there in future phases.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/25042737\/media_image_gryphon_full.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1068392"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1068392"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1068392\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1068492,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1068392\/revisions\/1068492"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1068392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1068392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1068392"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1068392"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1068392"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1068392"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1068392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
