Note: Arathi Highlands is a large zone with two faction bases – Refuge Pointe and Hammerfall. Both are exploration points, so be careful sneaking into them. Additionally, Faldir’s Cove requires you to swim around the southwest corner behind Stromgarde Keep and into the cove. At times, you will need to cross the lake to unlock the Witherbark area.

Guide To Exploring Arathi Highlands

Arathi Highlands is a wide open zone, and home to a number of different factions. Players aiming to obtain the Explore Arathi Highlands World of Warcraft achievement can start in a number of locations and need simply to do a wide, circling arc of it. Here are some tips to getting every location as you explore the zone.

Start on the western side of the zone at Thoradin’s Wall (20,29). From here, go to the Circle of West Binding (24,29) and then north to Northfold Manor (32,28). Travel southeast to Boulder’gor (36,55), and then to Refuge Pointe (45,47). Be careful when you reach Refuge Pointe if you are Horde player as it is an Alliance base and is patrolled by hostile NPCs.

Next, travel northeast to Dabyrie’s Farmstead (55,38) and then to the Circle of East Binding (66,29). Hammerfall (73,35) is next and it is a Horde base, so it needs to be skirted carefully by Alliance players. From here, go to the Circle of Outer Binding (51,51) and then to Go’Shek Farm (62,57). Travel to Witherbark Village (68,65) next. If you are not above Level 50, be careful of the large number of Troll mobs here.

The final pass goes along the southern border of the zone. First, go to Boulderfist Hall (54,76), then Thandol Span (45,88), then up and around to the Circle of Inner Binding (35,58) and Stromgarde Keep (25,64).

Finally, go behind Stromgarde Keep and behind the hills there. Swim out into the ocean and around the rocky outcropping until you reach Faldir’s Cove (26,82). You’ll see a ship moored here.

Obtaining the Explore Arathi Highlands WoW achievement should take between 20 and 40 minutes if you are a high level character with a good mount.
