Note: In Alterac Mountains, Chillwind Point is the only position that is out of the way, on the eastern side of the map. Additionally, the five points located in the southern part of the map will be between four ridges that need to be walked around – each ridge is a different exploration point – so make sure to get them all. Finally, be sure to go inside of Growless Cave to get the unlock – you’ll need to go about halfway into the cave to get the credit.
Map and Guide to Exploring Alterac Mountains
The first World of Warcraft achievement in the exploration of Azeroth requires you to travel to Alterac Mountains, the relatively remote zone located directly north of Hillsbrad Foothills. Far less populated compared to other zones, it has become a central zone for a lot of lore – however a lot of players never quite finish exploring it, if only because there’s no reason to.
The easiest way to start Alterac Mountains is to come in from the south or from Chillwind Point (74,48). You will need to get to the Chillwind Point location on the far eastern side of the map then head west for the rest of your exploration points.
The southern border of the map have five distinct locations to explore, many of them very close together, meaning you will need to do some careful walking. Starting with Sofera’s Maze (59,66), then going to Corrahn’s Dagger (48,70), the Headland (39,80), and Gavin’s Naze (33,82), you will travel in and out of a series of finger-like protrusions or rocks.
The last point on the southern part of the map is Lordamere Internment Camp (20,85). After this, travel north to the Dalaran Crater (14,65), followed by Growless Cave (37,67), Gallow’s Corner (32,56), the Ruins of Alterac (38,50), and Crushridge Hold (49,41). The Misty Shore (30,32) and Dandred’s Fold (38,18) are next and then there are the Uplands (50,19) and Strahnbrad (62,43).
A quick loop of the zone will take about 30 minutes and the Explore Alterac Mountains WoW achievement can be obtained easily if you play it out correctly!
