my guildie rerolled a dranei hunter when the x-pac came out, and at level 20, he got a dragonhawk.
downside to this is that people kept asking where he got it.

Too bad those Dragonhawk are *caster* pets, with weaker stats and very little value...

A small note about this guide that should be mentioned (for the few that it affects): you can only do this if you have the Burning Crusade expansion. If you don't, you'll be stopped at the instance portal at Northpass Tower (step 5). I know a few people who started playing WoW late and haven't bought the expansion because they don't know if they'll still be playing the game as heartily once they ding 60.

I sat here for a good 5 minutes wondering why this is such a big deal... I tamed a Dragonhawk at level 10 as well...

I looked up at the picture.. *night* elf, not *blood* elf. I feel very, very slow.

It's not really that complex - I just ran a level 12 dwarf to the same area for a Springpaw Lynx Stalker (level 8) as it's the only place in the entire game they appear.

As long as you have beast tracking turned on, you'll survive. I died twice in EPL and both time rez'd at my body.

Well worth the effort though, I get a lot of attention from my wonderful light brown pet.

The alliance is finally getting the same badge of honor us Hordies got when we got one of your Owls at level 10-15. :P

I still don't think this is any much harder than a horde hunter trying to get the teldrassil owl.

I got mine when I was level 20. Fun times.

Thanks for the link! (It's "etherJammer", tho. :)

Do you recommend that low-level characters swim to Southshore so they can get the flight point? It seems like it would be faster to die in the Wetlands and then run across to Southshore, since you don't lose speed over water as a ghost.

@5: On my first run, I died enough times in EPL to reduce my armor from 90% to 0% and then some, even with Beast Tracking on; it seemed like my aggro radius was essentially the zone radius. :) (I think I might even have had some owlbeasts and gryphons from the Hinterlands joining in... ;) I guess you used yours to better effect than I did!

@7: It really isn't that hard. :) But I've had so many people asking where I got mine, I figured it'd be easier just to write out a guide I could point people to. (I made the video because of the "screenshot or it didn't happen" attitude - and there's no way to show that a static screenshot of a ghost in Eversong wasn't just me running to Eversong and allowing myself to die there.)

If you have some friends of higher level, there's a much easier way to do this. Warlock Summon :P

Great! Now, can we get a guide for a BE grabbing a ravager from the Dranei area?

I thought they got rid of the ability to resurrect at whatever healer you wanted. I could have sworn that the last time I tried it, I was teleported back to the one closest to my body.

When did they change it back?

Read the article, when you go through the portal to Ghostlands your GY resets (I think the whole area is like an instance, rather then actually being in the normal world).

@14: They didn't change this; if you rez anywhere but your original Spirit Healer on the same continent, you'll be ported back to the original graveyard.

The key to this trick is that if you change continents or log out - and the Blood Elf and Draenei areas count as different continents - then the game resets your "original" graveyard to whichever graveyard you decide to use. In other words, the game forgets which graveyard was your original graveyard when you go through a portal or log out. If you don't do either of those things, you'll be ported back to your original graveyard.

Two things I want to try: see if a ghost can use the transporter in Lordaeron/Silvermoon, and see if going into an instance portal will reset your graveyard.

This is pretty much entirely a copy from a thottbot post I made a week after the expansion came out:

Its halfway through the comments.

Please give credit where it it due.

Following up to #16, as far as I can tell, you can't use the Orb of Translocation as a ghost, and when you go through an instance portal as a ghost (assuming you didn't die in the instance), you get ported back to your original graveyard. So I guess it's just changing continents or logging out that resets the graveyard.

JollyDoom, I'm sorry you feel slighted, but to be frank, I haven't used thottbot for months, I've never looked up Dragonhawks on it, and this is the first time I've seen your post, so if you want credit for "copying" your post I'm afraid you're going to have to look elsewhere. At the same time, I'm going to ask you to be honest: how many ways are there to get from Menethil to Eversong that you think that your way is your property? And at what point in your post on thottbot did you talk about making the run as a ghost?

#17, the only similarities i saw was that they both got you from point A to point B and they both broke it up into steps.

Reset your graveyard? I assumed you could res at any GY. You used to be able to, at least - that's how I got the Moonglade FP while I was still hostile with Timbermaw. Run in the tunnel at the Felwood end, die straight away, run from Felwood GY to the one in Moonglade, res there and I was in Moonglade, alive and well. Did they change that in a recent patch?
