![]() With all those things in hand, you should be all set to embark on your grind toward Draenor Pathfinder. That said, the flight points are actually pretty well positioned, and one of the first quests in the Tanaan Jungle chain takes you on a tour of them, so you should have them all pretty early on. I used it to swoop down on hard to reach treasures and to zoom back to the quest hub instead of having to run to the nearest flight point. It basically allows you limited flight, every 15 minutes, and I found it invaluable in getting around Tanaan Jungle. This is an item reward from one of the Inn dailies in your Garrison. The next thing you might want is Aviana’s Feather. ![]() These are invaluable both for completing the Treasure Hunting portion of the meta achievement, and the Tanaan Jungle dailies. Second, pick up the HandyNotes add-on and the HandyNotes_DraenorTreasures plugin. It might not sound like a lot, but it made a huge difference for me. This will give you an extra 20% on all reputation gains. First and foremost, because much of the Draenor Pathfinder achievement involves grinding reputation, you might want to build yourself a Level 3 Trading Post in your Garrison. Before getting started in earnest, there’s a couple of things you might want to do. This is the daily quest hub for Tanaan Jungle. Once in Tanaan Jungle you’ll follow a few more quests in the chain until you eventually reach Lion’s Watch ( Alliance) or Vol’Mar ( Horde). I won’t cover the Legendary quest chain in this post, but look for a future post when I finish it. The Shipyard also appears to be required to complete the Legendary quest chain so, again, might as well build it. If you’ve leveled through Warlords of Draenor via questing, and cleared and explored each zone as you went along, most of the other pieces of the achievement should actually already be done, so you’ll be spending all your time in Tanaan Jungle anyway. The first thing you’ll have to do is pick up and follow the Shipyard building quest chain it’s the only way to get to Tanaan Jungle where the three reputations you’ll have to grind are: The Saberstalkers, Order of the Awakened, and Hand of the Prophet. I quickly discovered that it wasn’t going to be nearly as bad as I’d first thought, and I’ve decided to put this post together with some of the things I used to make it easier. This spurred me to try to finish it, despite still needing to grind out three separate reputations. I was astonished to find that I was already quite far along in completing the achievement. WoWHead actually has a handy little tool that summarizes the whole thing and gives you a progress report and links to guides. There, I’ve said my piece and counted to three.Įventually, when I had a bit more free time, I went and actually looked at what the Draenor Pathfinder achievement entailed. I’m fine with grounding folks until they hit max level for the expansion, that’s a mechanism that’s been in place since BC, but attaching the ability to fly to an arduous grind is lazy and almost vindictive. that are easier to see when on the ground), and to design your zones and quests around the idea that players might fly in (anti-aircraft gun emplacements, flying patrols, heavy fog that obscures the ground, etc.). Better to incentivize ground travel (through fun toys, achievements, treasures, etc. ![]() To simply not allow flying is lazy design and development. A lot of money and time has been invested by the player base in acquiring flying mounts. Sidebar on my thoughts vis-a-vis the issue of flying mounts in World of Warcraft: WoW has had flying mounts since the first expansion, The Burning Crusade it is not a new thing the developers are having to consider when designing content. I didn’t log back into WoW for almost two weeks after that ( I was kind of busy in The Secret World anyway). I was so disgruntled by the whole flight issue because, dammit, I have a lot invested in flying mounts and I wanted to fucking use them, that I logged in the day the patch dropped, picked up the quest to start construction of my Shipyard, and then promptly logged out. When I first heard about this meta achievement my expression and attitude was not unlike Khadgar’s above. One item in that host was the Dreanor Pathfinder achievement, which will unlock flying in Draenor in a future patch ( which we now know is Patch 6.2.2, currently on the PTR). World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Patch 6.2 – Fury of Hellfire launched about a month ago, bringing with it Shipyards, Tanaan Jungle, the final raid, Hellfire Citadel, and a host of other things.
