Note: Exploring the Burning Steppes is relatively straightforward. A wide circuit of the zone will cover most points. Just be sure to climb up into Dreadmaul Rock, inside one of the caves there. Additionally, the Altar of Storms point is up in the hills, so you’ll need to go up the path located in the northwest corner of the zone to reach it.
Guide to Exploring Burning Steppes
Getting the Explore Burning Steppes World of Warcraft achievement is relatively easy because all of the necessary points of exploration are located around the outer rim of the zone. If you start in the southeast corner, where you will be deposited from the Blackrock Pass out of Redridge Mountains, the route is relatively straightforward.
Start out at Blackrock Pass (77,70) and then go north past Morgan’s Vigil (80,62), and then further north until you reach Terror Wing Path (90,52). You will need to go back south a bit to get around to the Dreadmaul Rock (76,43), and then directly west until you reach the Ruins of Thaurissan (65,40). Continue west from here until you reach the Blackrock Stronghold (40,33) and then on to Blackrock Mountain (29,36), located only a few more ticks west.
In the northwest corner is the Altar of Storms (17,29), located atop the mountain there. It will require some climbing to reach. The last two points are in the southern part of the map and include Drac’dar (23,66) and the Pillar of Ash (48,54). These two points can be reached with a straight shot southeast from the Altar of Storms.
Though there are not too many points to explore in Burning Steppes, you will find that it takes upwards of 30 minutes to get this WoW achievement because of the sheer size of the zone and the number of rock formations you’ll need to skirt your way around. Morgan’s Vigil should also be watched for if you are a Horde player due to the number of Alliance NPCs in the area. Good luck!
