Topic: Slightly OT: Getting to Dalaran
By Gummo, on 23 September 2008:
While the obvious/easiest way would be to ask a level 74+ mage for a portal, a level 71 mage (who can teleport to Dalaran) or any player in Dalaran (seen with /who dalaran) can get you there, assuming Blizzard doesn't change this:
1. Group
2. Have the person in Dalaran queue up as a group in all battlegrounds with the Dalaran battlemaster
3. Enter first BG that comes up
4. /afk out of the BG (or play it out) and you come back out at the Dalaran battlemaster.By LinkyKeram, on 24 September 2008:
Hopefully yes, that a mage can yust teleport you there, as pepol did this in BC's Shattrath :D
By el, on 24 September 2008:
I believe the battleground "trick" requires you to be at least 70, since you need to be in the correct bracket (but I'm not sure what the lowest level is for AV now). I still don't understand why Blizzard insist on a level 74 quest for personal entry, but yet allow level 1s to portal/summon in.
By Gummo, on 24 September 2008:
Right, the BG invite trick requires that you all be in the same level bracket, presumably 70-79 (or in some BGs 71-80?), similar to the current brackets.
I bring it up because you'll see level 71 mages a lot sooner than level 74 mages after the WotLK launch; once level 74 mages are common, portals will be the usual method again. But there should be level 71 mages after a couple of days or so, while you won't see 74s much until a couple of weeks have gone by. And there's fishin' in Dalaran!
Topic: Dangerous in Dalaran?
By Gummo, on 29 September 2008:
The WotLK fishing section says this about the fishing trainers:
"However, all the Northrend trainers are safe to visit at low level, except Marcia Chase in Dalaran."I assume she's safe to visit at a low level, since you'd need a portal/summon, just not easy until there are more level 74+ mages. Or are the large rats hostile?
By Gummo, on 30 September 2008:
Actually, this made me think that ALL capital cities should have hostile rats about level 5. Real players could deal with them, and they'd eat the gold spammers.
By Bekkabakoo, on 30 September 2008:
Dalaran was very dangerous when the beta was first opened up, and there were invisible holes you could step into and fall to your death down on the ground from a thousand feet up. But that was before you could actually catch fish anywhere.

Topic: Dalaran really 525?
By Kemtgor, on 16 November 2008:
Just curious if this is really the skill to avoid getaways... I'm sitting ~515, but I got all of 12 catches fishing for 10 minutes chain-casting. Even if each took 20 seconds, which it didn't, that's still 20% while only 10 skill short. Was I just having awful luck, or is it higher?
