I found that this zone is very nice for leveling from 35 untill about 40. There are some quest there that are ver easy to solo and the mobs there drop vendor trash that can net you a lot of money. Most of all you can grind here without worry. In most places very few mobs such as the Elementals will get pulled together so you can fight one at a time. And if your a Warlock such as myself banish can come in handy here if you make a pulling mistake. But most of all just have fun, don't worry and going to the right places and questing how your told, this game is about adventure and exploration. It's not about going by what people tell you. Play the way you want to play.

Traveling through this area is rough. Darn cats and wolves everywhere. Stay on your toes.

How do i get to teh badlands please tell me

Comment by 43020

For horde, this is a long trip. Starting from Arathi Highlands, take the road at the Southern point across the broken bridge through the Wetlands. When viewing the Wetlands map, youll see that the road splits in three. Continue down the road on a straight path and itll lead you to Dun Algaz, which takes you through the mountains into Loch Modan. Youll start to run into Alliance dwarves as your on the road. Head SE towards the lake and follow the shore south. Youll find a path as you continue south that is a series of tunnels that eventually leads you into the Badlands.
Youll pass through low level areas, just avoid the Alliance sentinels as you pass. Youll aggro a few but just run.

Though not an obvious landmark, there is a tribute to the movie "Conan" here in the Badlands. If you go southeast of the Hammertoe Digsite and follow an unmarked path up a hill there, you will soon arrive at the entrance of an underground crypt. There are no mobs to worry about within this place, but inside you can see an armored skeleton amongst several others sitting on a grand throne.

Is there an alliance town here?

Don't forget the flightpath from Korgath! Else another long walk...

Comment by Qezro

For alliance, if you are not too sure, travel to Loch modan (Thelsamar) head a little east until you find a path leading south. Head down it and if you get to Uldaman you know you're in the right place!

Going there now at level 37, good luck!

I am a lvl 40. I'm Looking for a FAST way to lvl via quests AND mobs. I need to know if Badlands or somewhere else will help me. Any place with beasts is also a big help as a skin/LW.

Comment by 66874

Are there any flight paths out here

Comment by Tmacca

It's important to note that the mobs (especially the Coyotes and Buzzards) are extremely bunched together in this zone. While it's great for grinding, traveling through this zone can be a pain in the neck.

Also, watch out for Anathemus. He's a level 45 Rare Elite that patrols the western part of the zone. Think of him as the low level version of the Fel Reaver, a massive 70 Elite mob in Outland who is infamous for ganking unsuspecting players.

Not only are the mobs tightly grouped, the ridge stalker mobs are all stealthed.

I was just running through there as a 32 druid in travel form and pulled 3 of them at once... would've been nice to know about them in advance :D

This place is amazing for finding iron and, if you're lucky, gold.

Came as a 38 paladin. Favorite place to level since Westfall.

Comment by sephiroth1

Comment by 216897

Are there any cities/flying mount points to fly too?

Comment by 219171

so theres no alliance settlement at all?

Comment by 200906

Oh and by the way, when going through Wetlands and Loch Modan while running there as horde, remember to look around. There are lots of critters you need to /love to complete the achievement To All Squirrels I've Loved Before. Rams, squirrels, sheeps and such.

Comment by 166046

There is a forge to smelt ore at rigglefuzz, near the centre of the zone.

Comment by 260185

Is there a horde base here if so Where?

I usally go here on my horde charr to level from 38-40

Comment by zangofreak

What lvl u guys should i be to make a full circle for mithril

Comment by Thottbot

Start in the wetlands, go straight South through Dun Algaz to get to Loch Modan... then straight South again to Badlands. PITA.

Comment by Thottbot

Is there an alliance inn in this zone I can set my hearthstone at?

Comment by Thottbot

"someone said go south from wetlands, thats a great idea, if there was a way through the shear cliff face of the mountainside."

This is already covered above, but apparently not in enough detail, so..

There is a tunnel between the Wetlands and Loch Modan. If you follow the road that winds S in the Wetlands, you will eventually reach a tunnel. This tunnel winds around a bit, but keep going and you will make it to Loch Modan. From there ride S down the road, turn SE when you near the bottom, and head for the middle of the S edge of the map. Congratulations, you made it.

For the Horde, this is the easiest way into the Badlands. Loch Modan is a 10-20 zone. Coming in from the Vale will force you to cross the Burning Steppes (50-58) and the Searing Gorge (43-50), which is not fun if you are planning to level in the Badlands.

Extra Credit: If you want to get there faster, strip off your gear at the bank and head for the Wetlands. When you get there, die and rez at the spirit in the middle of the map by the road. From there, head S along the road and into the tunnel. While in the tunnel watch for the location to switch to "Dun Algaz" or "Loch Modan." When this happens, die and rez in Loch Modan. Head S into the Badlands and die again. Rez at the healer and walk to Kargath at the W end.

To get to Badlands just go to the southern tip of the Loch and follow the path south, that's it.

The tunnel so many seem so fond of posting about here leads to Searing Gorge and requires a quest item from Searing Gorge for a key...

So how do you reach Searing Gorge? There's a pass in the Badlands that leads right to it but it can be rough finding it. It's hidden in the Western edge of the Badlands.

If you can make it to and into Blackrock Spire in Burning Steppes you can also get to Searing Gorge through Molten Span, just be aware there are some 50+ mobs so don't go poking too deep into the spire or you may find yourself face down.

To get the key for the dwarven tunnel as a member of the Alliance research the quests in Searing Gorge or talk to the dwarf at the end of the Valley of Kings in Loch Modan.

Comment by Thottbot

Don't kill Broken Tooth! There is always a hunter or two running around waiting for it to spawn. Please be kind and give a shout to let everyone know if you spot him. Yesterday after I patrolled for 4 hours I found a warrior beating the !@#$ out of the spawn I waited so long to tame. I whispered the bastard to stop, but it was too late. Please don't kill him! THere's no reason to. He's worth WAY more alive to a hunter then dead to anyone else.

Thank You!

Comment by Thottbot

horde has a quest which gives them something to teleport from booty bay to gnomeregan..quite handy

Comment by Thottbot

A simple way for the Horde to get here is to walk from Arathi to Wetlands and in the Wetlands there is a tunnel in the southwestern part, that leads to Loch Modan. You might bump into a few mountaineers, but they are only level 30. It's a quick walk to Kargath from there. (Did it as 37 hunter).

Comment by Thottbot

If you are in Searing Gorge you can take an road to Badlands at 68:53 And for those without cosmos: Take the road down from Stonewrought Pass, you will pass an road to the right just keep following the road. Then you should see the road to your left. Or else just find the middle of the map and follow the cursor to your right. There it is

Comment by Thottbot

Where can I find the alliance FP? Is there a FP for alliance in Badlands?

Comment by Thottbot

I found the locks in:

Tank Room
Elevator Shaft
Above the tanks (airplane room)
Dented Footlocker - Second Floor
Entrance

Remember the mobs in there are 34-36. Since it's Horde territory try to make friends with whoever is in there.

They seem to be randomly scattered

Comment by Thottbot

to get there you have to go to loch modan (the one with the big lake called "the Loch") go to the very southern tip of it and there is a path going through the mountains and it takes you there

Comment by Thottbot

The Horde Flight Path is located at 3,44 in Kargath

Comment by Thottbot

As a Horde just follow the suggestion to teleport from Booty Bay to Gnomer then go east through the south gate tunnel into loch modan... at level 38 all the level 30 alliance guards wouldn't aggro within perhaps 10 feet, so i ran through the tunnel, past alliance guards, and not one even aggroed, if you're past level 36 or so don't worry about dying, none of the guards will notice you if you are the least bit stealthy.

Comment by Thottbot

nevr goin back again. freaking wolves always kill me.

Comment by Thottbot

well....lol....lemme tell you the bad way of getting to badlands. That would be going through black rock mountain from redridge m., SoS, etc.......

I did that....and it took a lifetime, but i did it...it sux don't EVER go from the south...EVER!

Comment by Thottbot

4, 61 could not be more right.
Thank you, thank you, thank you...
And to Blizzard, I HAAAATE you for making it seem like you can enter Searing Gorge from the southern tip of the Badlands. My wife and I ran straight into an Ogre cave... full of mean angry ogres...

Comment by Thottbot

There is a repair /vendor guy right next to Rigglefuzz at 43,52.
And the way to searing gorge is at 4,61.

Comment by Thottbot

This was my paths to the Badlands. Made it as a 35 Horde Mage with barely a skirmish. First, take the airboat from UC to Grom'gol, or take the boat from Rachet to Booty Bay. Follow the road north into Duskwood. The second way is to fly into Stonard, then head east thru Deadwind Pass into Duskwood.

Once in Duskwood Head to far northeast corner. Cut thru the southeast corner of Elwynn and head east into Redridge Mountains.
Head north thru Redridge, being mindful of the alliance at Lakeshire. Follow the road north till you come to a pass leading into the Burning Steppes.
There will be one ? elemental but I was able to outrun it.
Follow the road thru Burning steppes north, then west into Blackrock Mountain.
Inside Blackrock, take the passage to the left, then take the first exit to the left. It is safe all the way thru. This will get you into Searing Gorge.
Follow the road in Searing Gorge to the northeast. Keep looking to the right, or east, and about half way up the map you will come to a pass that leads into the Badlands. This pass does not show up on the Searing Gorge map so you have to look for it.
Follow the pass into the Badlands, turn left at the big tree, and head north to Kargath.

If you want to detour, try to get the Thorium Point flight path in Searing gorge. It in on the north wall about two thirds of the way across from the east.

Good Travels and Happy Hunting!

Comment by Thottbot

Thank you to those that said head due south from the loch. You will run into Grizzle Paw Ridge. As you are headed south, and have the loch to your left...just keep heading south. I am as stupid as they come, and I was able to see an opening that fed directly into the Badlands.

Comment by Allakhazam

What kind of mobs can be found here,and what level are they?

Comment by Allakhazam

almost a continuous spawn of battered footlockers, mostly upstairs in the south west baclony, some in the connecting barracks upstairs and rarely, at the bottom of the North stairwell. I got skill ups for every one from 150+.

i'm stuck at booty bay and need help

Comment by Brunhill

i just dinged 38 so decided to leave Arathi Highlands and head to Badlands. No problem running through low leveled Alliance Wetlands (20s) and even lower level Loc Modan. A pair of dwarf guards at tunnel entrances that i just ran passed. Follow the lake Loch western edge to the north and you will see the pathway to red lands of Badlands. Run through the pathway and stick to the right side of the valley heading northeast. You will encounter a few 36-39 level cats and wolfs but you can either avoid them or just eliminate them for some nice XP. There are a couple of goblin campsites on your right as you run. Also you will see some earth elementals (get the quest from the second goblin camp). Continue down the same path and you will see a large Horde building just passed the elemental area which is Kargath. Get the flight path! Easy to fly from here to Grom'gol, Booty Bay, or north to Highlands, Undercity. Most of the horde quests are here or back in the Valley of Fangs that you just ran through. Personally I think i will stay in this zone and do the quests and kill mobs till 40. Also home to Uldaman dungeon. The first goblin camp you encountered give you quests for Uldaman. Be sure to pick those up before heading up to the dungeon.

Comment by Wyr3d

As Horde, looks like you have three choices to get to the Badlands. The first two are best for mid-range, the last one is only really viable for higher level characters.

Via Arathi Highlands

Get yourself to Undercity, then head to Arathi Highlands. Now aim due south through the Wetlands, and continue south through Loch Modan. Watch out for Alliance scum, and you continue your journey south, looking for the tunnel through to the Badlands. This is the easiest of the three, but takes a bit of walking.

Via Gnomeregan

Talk to Nogg in the Orgrimmar machine shop, and take his quest, an the one offered by his assistant. If you've already completed these quests, take the goblin transponder from your bank an head to Stranglethorn Vale. Use the teleporter to Gnomeregan, and head out to Dun Morogh. Now head east through the tunnel to Loch Modan, murder any dwarves on the way and then continue on to the badlands. This is faster than the first route, but the dungeon is full of mobs.

Via Searing Gorge

The final path leads through mostly neutral, territories but are higher level zones. You'll pass though Burning Steppes and the Searing Gorge which is best left to higher levels

Comment by saschavykos

Badlands AH run

As an alliance player, before you head to Badlands, stop by the AH and grab the following. You will need them for quests.

Frost Oil x1 - Made by Alchemist
Blue Pearl x9 - Looted from Giant Clams in STV
Gyrochronatom x1 - Made by Engineer
Healing Potion x1 - Made by Alchemist
Lesser Invisibility Potion x1 - Made by Alchemist
Patterned Bronze Bracer x1 - Made by Blacksmith

Not sure if horde have access to all of these quests so YMMV.
