F2p Challenge:Getting to Vashjir by Swimming

[RiverpawGrinder]

I am not sure if there are easier ways to get to Vashj'ir. But i managed to swim to there as a lvl20 f2p without any help from higher lvl characters. Just wondering anything interesting to do there as a lvl20?

There was a short time you could loot Reins of Poseidus at any level. (Rec lvl 78 to learn)

since you are FTP or others who may read might be, there could be interest in these achievements:

Gather up the flight paths for easier holiday currency gathering too.

Iirc the explore achievement can be done entirely by swimming along the surface so you don't have to contend with mobs

Vashj'ir is easy. Now getting to Hyjal without any help, now that's a challenge.

Ghostwalking is the easiest way to get there, as Cata zones have a flying ghost. Just have to find the right spot where to die

But if you want to get to Nordrassil without Ghostwalking, it becomes a real challenge

Access to the Darkmoon Cannon and the ability to route-through "unlearned flight points" still negates most of the old-school challenge, though... even after all these years, that remains one of my proudest accomplishments!

the ability to route-through "unlearned flight points"

what does that mean?

 

[zazzyfraz]

what does that mean?

I think you used to need connecting paths learned to be able to fly to certain locations. Not just A and B locations but everything in between?

Iirc south of Winterspring, so that you release spirit in Winterspring, walk to the entrance of Hyjal at the south of the region, and then just have to fly to the point you need and wait to rez
