Instructions
Alliance Players
Travel to Stormwind, the capital city of humans, located in Elwynn Forest. If you're stationed in Ironforge, a tram runs between the two cities and boards at Tinker Town. If you're in Darnassus, board the boat on the left-most dock in Rut'theran Village, which is located just outside the city. The boat takes you to Stormwind Harbor. If you're in the Exodar, use the orb of translocation to transport to Darnassus, then take the boat to Stormwind Harbor from Rut'theran Village
Exit Stormwind into Elwynn Forest and turn south to cross into Duskwood. Continue south and you'll find the entrance to Stranglethorn Vale.
Run south once you enter Stranglethorn Vale. As long as you cut straight south, you'll run into Fort Livingston. Once you reach Fort Livingston, continue south into the Cape of Stranglethorn.
Follow the road that cuts past the Gurubashi Arena. As you travel the path, you'll encounter several other roads that cut off from the path; keep on the same road until you reach Booty Bay.
Turn right once you enter Booty Bay, toward the docking area. When the boat arrives, board it and you will arrive in Ratchet.
Horde Players
Fly to Orgimmar aboard a Zeppelin. Each horde capital city offers a zeppelin to Orgrimmar, with the exception of Silvermoon City. To escape Silvermoon, right click the orb of translocation located in the city. You'll arrive in the Undercity, where you can take a zeppelin to Orgrimmar.
Exit Orgrimmar to the south and make your way to the east. You'll cross a body of water and into the Northern Barrens. You'll immediately come upon a road. Take it south until you reach Far Watch Post, and then immediately take western road. Continue on the road until the road turns north and south. Go south to the town of Crossroads.
Leave Crossroads to the south and you'll be greeted by two roads. Take the one that goes toward the east. Follow that road until you reach Ratchet.
