WoW Forever Dalaran guide: travel, trainers and useful stops
Plan a useful visit to Dalaran in WoW Forever. Check travel options, profession trainers, cloth donations and the difference between the city and its dungeon.
Give your Dalaran visit a purpose
Dalaran was open to explore during the Forever beta. Wowhead’s September 29 report describes an Alliance city despite its Sanctuary label, so Horde players should not assume they can use its services safely.
For a leveling character, the useful question is what you need before the next outing. Training, crafting and a specific quest hand-in can fit into one visit. Decide on those jobs before travelling, then leave room to explore if that is what you came for.

How to get to Dalaran in the beta
The city sits northwest of Southshore in the Alterac Mountains. The report describes stairs north of Hillsbrad Fields, a flying boat from Valanaar on Zephras Isle, and a connection with Stormwind’s Wizard’s Sanctum. No city flight path was found.
Update from the final-beta report: the Stormwind-to-Dalaran portal for High Order Skyborne appeared to be missing, while the return portal from Dalaran to Stormwind remained. The older description above should not be read as a confirmed two-way portal connection for launch. Check both directions on your character before planning around them.

Trainer names to look for
The Forever database lists these NPCs in Alterac Mountains. Wowhead’s city visit places Charles in Talismanic Textiles, Linzy in The Agronomical Apothecary and Alfina in the Violet Citadel.
| NPC | Listed role | Before you spend gold |
|---|---|---|
| Angelique Butler | First Aid Trainer | Check whether you need another bandage recipe. |
| Charles Worth | Expert Tailor | Compare your skill with the recipe you want. |
| Linzy Blackbolt | Alchemist | Choose a useful craft and check its ingredients. |
| Edward Egan | Herbalist | Review your current gathering skill. |
| Alfina Nightgaze | Druid Trainer | Check your spellbook for the training you need. |
Set aside cloth before donating it
A Donation of Wool, quest 99191, requires 60 Wool Cloth and lists 150 High Order reputation as its reward. Wowhead places the quest giver, Belanaa Windveil, in the Sky Enclave inside the Violet Citadel.
Count the wool you need for your own crafts before handing it over. If Tailoring or First Aid is part of your leveling plan, compare the donation with your next recipe. Our suggestion is to donate spare cloth when you want the reputation, rather than buy several stacks simply because a new quest marker appears.
Visiting the city is different from entering the dungeon
Wowhead describes an Alliance dungeon entrance through the sewers at Cantrips & Crows and a separate exterior Horde entrance requiring a Dalaran Sewer Key.
The October 6 attunement report now gives Horde players a preparation route through Tarren Mill to the Image of Archmage Modera. Our separate checklist covers the quest order and distinguishes optional area quests. Blizzard’s October 8 patch confirms that City of Dalaran is now available for testing. The key is part of the Horde entrance preparation.
Head back out with your next stop in mind
Before leaving, check your next quest, the supplies it needs and where you will return. Keeping those few decisions together makes it easier to spend the rest of the session playing.
Wisp brings supported starting routes into the game, with quest steps and directions. This city checklist is separate from those routes. Choose your character’s written guide below or watch the addon walkthrough to see how the in-game guidance works.
