Concerning flight points, part 5

Just a short PS to part 4. Elsie's currently sitting in the inn at Cenarion Hold, Silithus, that being the last flight point she got on her tour - she hit level 19 just before she got there. I think I covered most of the new points in part 4, but there are a couple more.

Not in any particular order.... let's see. Morgan's Vigil to Thorium Point is very definitely easier than Loch Modan/Badlands to Thorium Point. However, I've decided that using the spirit healer at Flame Crest actually slows things down a lot - it's better to just run along the road. There are ogres and orcs that will kill you, but you'll get to Blackrock Mountain in only a few deaths. Having run through there, you do have to run a bit to the north before your death brings you to Thorium Point graveyard - if you die earlier, you go to the new graveyard on the south edge of the Cauldron. Much less helpful. But again it's only a few deaths before you're at Thorium Point.

Light's Hope Chapel to Zul'Aman: I said I was going to experiment with going the long way round rather than past Browman's Mill. This did work better, but there is one thing to watch out for... falling into the Pestilent Scar is a Very Bad Thing which will cause you to die a lot. The problem is that if you got to Light's Hope Chapel the way I usually do - i.e. by dying in that half of the zone and rezzing in the graveyard there - you won't have the Pestilent Scar on your map until you discover it by falling in :p

Gadgetzan to Marshal's Refuge: I wondered if it might be any less horrible if I ran more or less west from Gadgetzan and tried to find a way through the mountains. Answer: it's slightly better, but not much, but you CAN jump down the mountainside into the crater. True, you do die at the bottom, but by that stage you've died every few seconds for the last half hour, so it's not a big deal!

More annoying, and something I forgot to mention in part 4, is that when you do wake up in Marshal's Refuge graveyard, Larion will kill you immediately if you use the spirit healer. Mean! It's still worth it though, because you can rez further up the slop and avoid him on your next death.

No more flight point obsession until Katisha etc. get to Outland, so I'll finish by sharing something that happened the other day that really amused me... I got a whisper in-game.
