Lots of quests, many of them are chains. The quests tab on this page does not yet include a filtering ability, but if you Browse > Kalimdor > Desolace you can filter there.

Would it be possible to mark graveyard locations on the zone map?

Kommentar von token

This is a great zone for 29-36. Not usually too crowded and the quests are pretty good. After those levels you might wanna move to the Badlands (Alliance).

Kommentar von 8939

Thinking about going here.. What is the best route to get here, assuming your nearest flight point is the Crossroads and Zoram Strand?

Kommentar von 6762

the best way in my opinion is to go to stone talon mountains. Sun rock retreat if horde. then head into the charred vale, which is up a long steep ramp.

Once in the charred vale follow the mountains to your left (if looking from the path into the charred vale) keep following it until you get to a pathway, it heads away from the charred vale. If you look at the map above, see the path to the very far north, well that path leads from the charred vale.

Hope this helps.

I found this place fairly dull though the grind for xp spots weren't bad. If you die look for the Ghost Kodo walking around.

Kommentar von 39865

If you are playing a pvp server but want to avoid meaningless and constant pvp it would not be recommended to come here.A good place to lvl however.

Kommentar von 52930

Very good zone to level in on a PVP server (horde side especially). Quests are all easily doable in the mid 30's, but the travel times can be a PITA and the underwater quests are always annoying. Beware of level 50ish players entering valley of spears on their way to Maraudon.

Kommentar von 69592

The name is either a play on the word desolate ("lifeless"), a portmonteau of desolate and solace ("rest"), or "de"solace ("no rest").

Kommentar von bubblezcasto

for alliance there is a FP at 67, 17 i think... u can see where it is along the road, but very irritating to find, took me forever when i first had to find it

Kommentar von Shockna

After questing in this quiet, abandoned place for 5 levels, I can tell you that there's a reason they call it "Desolace". ⌐_⌐

Kommentar von 65973

if your gameplay is affected by your mood then this is not the best place to go, as the desolace is a very depressing place - despite all the grind spots and quests

Kommentar von 8153

For anyone having a hard time locating the flight path it is located at 64, 10 in Nigel Point. It's difficult to notice since it's off a beaten path on the border of town, I completely missed it my first time through.

Kommentar von Aisenfaire

Start of the path going up to Nijel's Point, where the flight path and NPCs are for alliance, is at 67, 16.

Flight path at 65, 10.

Kommentar von 72798

This is however an amazing place for mining, anything from copper to truesilver.

Kommentar von 104949

the town here is located at (24,70), shadowprey village its around the bottomleft of the map where that little tail is you'll find the flightmaster there too. There are many quests in town but also check out Ghost Walker Post where theres a small outpost with a few other quests, its located at (55,56) above kodo graveyard, where the spirit rezzer is.

The only instance here is Maraudon its located at (29,63) above shadowprey village, right when you come out you should see a path going to mara on your left:

Kommentar von castorjay

i dont know if its just my server our not, but i spent 2+ days here questing/grinding and i never once saw a single other player, horde or ally....such a desolate place.

Kommentar von 112986

It's a great place to level in nearly empty severs like mine for the horde, because nearly all alliance players go to STV. If you want some solace (rest), go to Desolace.

Kommentar von 107438

Where's the Horde Flight Path??

Kommentar von Archangel001

Pls. can someone write some info about history of this Territory? I like Warcraft story :)

Kommentar von Bllets

Legends claim that the centaur are descendants of a dark union between one of the demigod Cenarius's sons and a princess of the chaotic earth elementals. When the first khans were born of their union, it is said that they murdered their father, for shame of their misshapen appearance. They were born filled with rage and savagery and have not calmed in the centuries that followed. The first of their kind, the first khans, gave rise to the five tribes of the centaur. The race swept across Desolace and soon became legendary for its brutality. The diligent night elves held them in check for ages until the Burning Legion rained its destruction upon the world. The night elves left the centaur out of necessity for their own survival during the wars, allowing the twisted race to assume control of Desolace. Though fortunate enough not to be scorched into oblivion in the demon wars, Desolace was savaged nonetheless due to the centaur's ceaseless aggression. No longer threatened by night elves, the tribes plagued other plains races - chiefly, the peaceful tauren. This struggle endured for generations, until recently, when the tauren were at last driven from Desolace. The centaur were never content with controlling Desolace and have followed their tribal khans in a series of clashes with other races throughout southern and central Kalimdor.

The mountainous barriers of the Stonetalons lie to the north and the Thousand Needles to the southeast, isolating Desolace from much of the rest of Kalimdor. The grasslands and mesas of Mulgore stand directly east, and the land runs rugged and open to the storm-tossed coast to the west. The winds create waterspouts against the lowland hills along the shore. The western coastline of Desolace is lush in sad contrast to the wasteland of its interior. Desolace is a gray, rocky wasteland littered with bones. It seems almost under a supernatural curse, its skies always black and stormy, with lightning and high winds a constant throughout the realm. The surrounding mountains form a significant barrier to travel, a key reason why the centaur have never established more than a sporadic presence elsewhere on Kalimdor. Five barbarous centaur tribes dominate the entire region with the strength of overwhelming numbers and unequaled ferocity. Each tribe is led by one of the dreaded khans and is known by a distinctive tribal color - Black, Brown, Green, Red, and Yellow. Members use the color to mark their weapons and their faces. The khans who lead each tribe rarely have contact with each other except in times of war. There were no other cultures of any note in all of Desolace. The centaur had run them all down in their unceasing lust for conquest. The only animals that can sustain themselves in the arid and violent land are beasts such as lions, raptors, sand serpents, and harpies.

In recent times Horde and Alliance have set up outposts in the desolate land, and only four of the five tribes control Desolace.

Desolace is home to several characters of note. At Ghost Walker Post, Maurin Bonesplitter and Takata Steelblade seek aid in the battle against the Burning Blade. In Shadowprey Village, Taiga Wisemane attempts to cleanse the demonic taint that the Burning Legion has brought with it. And at Nijel's Point, Kreldig Ungor sends bold adventurers to the wide corners of the land in search of mystical items and treasure. In addition, Rexxar used to wander these lands with his bear companion Misha until the Dark Portal reopened.

If you're alliance, the best is way is to fly to astranaar, then go to this cave:

https://www.wowhead.com/classic/maps=331:419735

Then go south to the path, north untill it forks west into desolace.

Kommentar von 104949

Desolace is a 30-40 Level area but i would come here in the late 30's.

The town is shadow prey village located at 23, 72

The only instance here is Maraudon a lvl 43 - 49 instance: https://www.wowhead.com/classic/zone=2100

Kommentar von Bigben

Can someone tell me the Horde camp or town's name?

Kommentar von 219171

Can anyone tell me where the Gelkis clan place is?

Kommentar von 255604

I found this to be the best place to level up from lv32 to lv43, it was also a great place to get big $$$ because if you set your faction's village on your hearth, then go south of Shadowprey (this can be done by alliance) and go into the water, you will find Drysnap Crawlers, they give a fair amount of XP to lv32-36, and you will also find Shellfish traps there. You can easily sell everything in the traps for large ammounts of money.
1: Green Names= 5-10g
2: Big Iron Fishing Pole= 150-350g (pending on what server you're on and what faction you're in, horde=lower price, alliance=this price+)
3: Dump the Grey names right then and there, because they don't make any money from the AH
4: Shellfish=5-10g a full stack (full stacks are 20) These must be sold on either the Neutral AH or the Horde AH as horde are the only faction that can make use of these.
5: Shiny Fish Scales: 20-50s on any AH, a lot of Shamans need Shiny Fish Scales until they get a minor glyph to eliminate that use.
6: Ocasionally you will get gems from the Drysnaps, sell these for whatever you see them for on the AH
For lv37-43, just grind Ancient Kodos in the Kodo Graveyard.

Kommentar von Thysios

Bad place to level (atleast for the horde). It's kinda "dead" there, it's a wasteland of nothing interesting. The quests are annoying, the mobs do have a big aggro range etc. Too much alliances here as well ;)

I reccomend going to STV / Shimmering flats / Athari highlands

Kommentar von 179771

Desolace is a great place for Rogues to level up their lock-picking to 225. I came to the Ethel Rethor area as a level 45 troll with some Elixirs of Water Breathing. My skill was 195 when I started and I ended up maxing it for my level in just enough time to do it with only 1 of my elixirs. The nagas around there were no challenge at all.

Kommentar von 115171

If you're Horde, here are some easy to miss quests :
Don't forget to pick up https://www.wowhead.com/classic/object=177787 Rackmore's log quest, while you're doing the quest: Other Fish to Fry. (Naga near Ranazjar Island). The book is along the coast nearby at 36, 30
Another easy-to-miss quest NPC is nearby at 38,27 (the big tower near the ocean):
https://www.wowhead.com/classic/npc=11863 and worth doing around the same time, since the second step in his quest chain takes you to ranazjar Island again.

Be sure to loot burning blade humanoids when you cross paths. They drop
https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item=20310 Which starts a quest chain.

Be sure to help the traveling caravan when they begin traveling. You can get a quest at both ends (two different quests) for guarding them on the way each direction.
https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=5943
When they reach their destinations on each end, a robot will spawn that you can buy items from. Theres some good uncommon recipes for cooking which can earn you a bit of gold on the AH. People are often looking for these for cooking achievements.

After you pick up the quests from Ghost Walker post be sure to visit the opposite side of the Kodo graveyard (47,61). This fellow is easy to miss and has the quest:
https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=6134
His sister also could use some help, over in the Valley of Spears (Escort quest):

Desolace....It's so.....desolate

Kommentar von 317120

This must be the most untouched area in the game.

It's so depressing, the sky is grey, the MAP is grey, and you get to see kodos "die" in the graveyard. There are wandering ghost kodos.

A more appropiate name for this place would be "Depressolace" or something.

It's just...unappealing.

STV is much more lively, and has a raid.

If it were not for Maraudon, this place would be..desolate.

Kommentar von 87548

Know why the trees in Northern Feralas lean north?

Kommentar von 332777

how do you reach that ranazjar isle?cose if you try swimming that fatigue bar appears and you must go back

Kommentar von 332777

sorry my mistake..took a wrong route

Kommentar von 103586

If you're looking for quests to do for the Loremaster achievement, note that you can do both Centaur quest lines. After doing one, you need to kill centaur to get your rep back up with the other clan. I would definitely not suggest doing this if you're leveling, but at level 80 it took me about 45 minutes total to get my rep back up from hostile to friendly.

If you're going to do this, do the Gelkis quests first. The reason for this is that the Gelkis are much less spread out around their area, which means grinding them to get rep back up with the other clan will be quicker. Don't forget to go into the cave (marked on the map), as there are a whole lot more centaur inside.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This zone is for level 33-40 I'd say

Kommentar von Thottbot

I must say, there's an interesting cold war going on in Desolace at the moment on my server at least.

It seems as though both factions come there mainly to quest and grind their way through the thirties, so as a result they'd rather go about their business than fight whomever they meet from the opposite faction even if compatible, level-wise. Often have Horde members run or rode right past me, sometimes waving a silent greeting on the way, but those that are on my level or lower carefully tip-toe around me making sure to face me so they can keep an eye on me to make sure I'm not gonna start any funny business. Hence the term "cold war". :)

Naturally, there is the occasional ganker or person on-level that feels like fighting, but it's remarkably rare.

Is anyone noting the same tendencies on other servers, I wonder? (Mine is Shattered Hand, Europe)

/Thinas\

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm an Elf-Druid and I like exploring in Horde territory. Sometimes I'll run into a Tauren or Troll (rarely an Undead in Kalimdor) and I'm not really sure what to do. It might be interesting to fight but on the other hand Tauren and Elves actually have a lot in common. And I'm afraid it might be bad manners to pick a fight. I think of it like English and German soldiers in WWI meeting in no man's land and playing cards then going back to their lines and shooting at each other.

Kommentar von Thottbot

where is the instance in desolace and what is it called?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Nijel's Point. 68, 17. For the Cosmosers.

FP for horde is Shadowprey, off the West coast. FP for alliance is Nijel's, and to get to the guy, you:

run up the ramp and look straight at the city.. you'll see a moonwell to the right and a little ramp (break in the mnts.) to the left. Take it for the inn and such.

Kommentar von Thottbot

There's this tower in the northwestern part of the Desolace, that for the life of me I can't figure out what it is there for. It has no entrances (been all around it), no NPC's or mobs near it, and it's just there. Does anybody know what it is there for?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I noticed a trend in Thotbot. Several escorting quests are missing from Thotbot. For example, the Caravan guys give you 2 quests in Desolace.

They ask to be escorted both times. It takes time to start the quest again (like 45 minutes), because the caravan moves slowly and sometimes stops moving for a while.

The first quest is a bit north of Kalkor village, on the road. You must protect the Caravan from centaurs.

Later, when the caravan is returning back north, the caravan needs an escort again in the area with Infernals and Demons.

Anyway, the quest giver yells it in red so you know when its time to do the quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The boxes are underwater all around the Naga island. Waterlogged footlockers.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Great place if your 30-40, quests are relatively easy as well as the mobs. Not that many horde, at least not on my server, you'll bump into one once in a while, but most of the time they turn the other way, unless they are in groups of two or more, then they'll gang up on you.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The Flight Path is in SW Desolace in Shadowprey Village (turn right at as you get to the sea) Once you're in the village head down to the end of the fishing peer.

Kommentar von Thottbot

HOw can i get to that point.. I simply CANT find a way up!

Kommentar von Thottbot

West...west some more... then go a little Northwest. then down through chared vale.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Horde flight path is at 21,74

Kommentar von Thottbot

From Ashenvale, take the talondeep path (42,72) to Stonetalon Mountains zone. You'll end up in Windshear Crag area. You then need to go to the back of the Charred Vale (30,76) via Sun Rock Retreat for Horde or the path at Mirkfallon Lake for Alliance.

Once in Desolace, Alliance base is Nigel's Point at (64,10) along the north edge past where the road turns south. Look for the Stormwind Guards and head up the hill. FP is to your left further up hill. Horde Base is Shadowprey Village at (22,72). Follow the road to the south-west corner of the map. FP is at the end of the pier, inn is on the hill. Both locations give similar quests. Especially important is the Scarlet Monastary chain quest with Brother Anton on the 2nd floor of the Alliance Inn.

Note that the entrance to Ferala is at (41,92)

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm a lvl 37 noob (Pally) and have to admit that even after two years of play there is still an aire of neutrality in Desolace. I started exploring Kalimdor because all the good quests were in STV and I was sick of getting ganked by lvl ?'s. Even with guild and pick-up grouping I kept getting nailed.
Desolace is a different beast, though welcome. My guild-mates pretty much stick to the east so there is a feeling of alone that might very well be universal across factions - who knows. I'd love to hear more Horde comments on Desolace.
I ran into a UD rouge getting attacked by a pack of dogs last night and thought to myself that it would make the game very interesting if I could heal Horde while in contested territory. Better yet, it would be even cooler to permanently switch sides, at say lvl 40 or 50.
Another thing I found interesting was the contrivance on the part of Desolace Alliance NPC's in regards to pitting centuars clans against each other, and not trusting the other races - A great intro into the world of factions.
The larger than life Mobs are also a great touch - you just don't see those very often in the East.

Kommentar von Thottbot

What's up with Ethel Rethor?

Big grey tower with sealed entryway. The only thing of interest in the area is the questgiver.

One of my guildies says the interior of Ethel Rethor is a GM area...anyone else heard anything like that?

Eladriana, Agamaggan server.

Kommentar von Thottbot

US server onyxia
Worst place to level as alliance

For every 1 alliance, there are 4 horde chars.
Gank here, gank there, log off to stop spawn camping, log on later and it repeats

Kommentar von Thottbot

/sigh
This place is a veryveryvery lonely spot.

Everytime im there i get depressed kek.
As soon as I hit lvl 36 I left that area,couldn't stand the quiet and emptyness.
When ever I came across Ally,they never attacked...
this place is just too gloomy for me :( and now I have to go there again.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I am a Tauren Druid so I took the FP to Zoram post jumped in the water turned to my water form and just hit num lock to go down the coast to the FP.

Another place I neve really got ganked was 1k needles. Alli even helped me once.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Desolace has always been my favorite zone in the Old World. I don't know why. But I guess it makes you feel like you're on your own -- isolated from the world.
The Nijel's Point music really sets the mood for this dead zone with the lime-colored sky.

It's also the very zone that made me wanna roll my Dwarf Hunter, and I'll never forget that.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Once World of Warcraft: Cataclysm comes out, the entire zone of desolace will be transformed into a lush area with water, grass, and trees.

go to where you can see it and there is some ruins, you will find guards around here and then you will see the hill/slope to enter Nijels point. It's a bit awkward to find, but can be done.

Where the monkey is this area in Desolance?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Take road east from Kodo Graveyard, keep east past the goblin caravan depot. As the road goes up the steep incline, follow the hillside instead of going up the road. I think you will be going south at that point. It is on the level below the centaur area that you come to if you had followed the road up the hill.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

seems to me like an area wiht nothing in it? wierd..
