How Do I Get from Stormwind to Silvermoon in 2024?
The easiest and fastest way to get from the Alliance capital of Stormwind to the Horde blood elf capital of Silvermoon City is to take the portal in Eastern Plaguelands to Ghostlands, then ride north to Eversong Woods. This route takes around 15 minutes with an epic mount.
As an avid WoW gamer and guide writer, I‘ve outlined the best methods below, with maps, recent info from Blizzard blue posts, and tips to save you time.
Method 1: Eastern Plaguelands Portal (Recommended)
This handy portal was added in Patch 2.1 to provide direct access from Eastern Kingdoms to blood elf territories. Here‘s how to use it:
- Travel to Eastern Plaguelands
- Get ported from a mage or take a gryphon from Undercity/Hillsbrad Foothills
- Head to the portal located at Crown Guard Tower (46.0, 75.5)
- Take the portal to Ghostlands
- Be sure to right click, as it won‘t work from the front!
- Ride north through Ghostlands
- Stick to the main road
- You‘ll pass through Tranquillien town
- Enter Eversong Woods zone
- Admire the vibrant golden forests!
- Beware the Dead Scar running down the middle
- Continue riding north to Silvermoon City entrance
According to Blizzard, this route takes around 15 minutes with an epic ground mount. Pretty quick!
The EPL portal deposited you very close to Silvermoon, skipping lengthy rides through the Plaguelands or Tirisfal Glades. I‘d only consider alternatives below if the portal is camped or down.
Method 2: Shattrath Portal from a Mage
If you can get a mage to cast Portal: Shattrath, you can skip Eastern Kingdoms entirely! Here‘s how:
- Get ported from any major city to Shattrath in Outland
- Fly east from Shattrath into Terokkar Forest
- Continue east to cross Ghostlands border
- Ride north on the Dead Scar road to Eversong Woods
- Arrive in Silvermoon, as with Method 1
According to tested data, going from Shattrath to Silvermoon takes around 13 minutes on an epic flyer. So slightly faster, but more effort to arrange a mage portal.
I‘d recommend keeping some Arcane Dust or tips handy to convince a mage buddy!
Method 3: Warlock Summoning
If you have a friendly warlock, you can get summoned directly to Silvermoon, bypassing all travel!
- Have a warlock pal use Ritual of Summoning
- Get summoned to transports area outside Silvermoon gate
- Walk to city entrance and bask inSin‘dorei glory!
This skips literally all the rides, but takes coordination. Still, warlock teleports are invaluable when you need to get across Azeroth fast!
Method 4: Zeppelin from Undercity
If you‘re already in Undercity, there IS a zeppelin tower just outside Silvermoon. But at 1 hour 40 mins according to users, it‘s quite slow.
- Exit Undercity into Ruins of Lordaeron
- Take zeppelin from outside gates to Eversong
- Ride from zeppelin tower to Silvermoon city entrance
I only suggest this if you‘re already in Undercity and refuse to take portals for some masochistic reason!
Comparision Table
I‘ve put together this handy table comparing the transportation methods, with time estimates:
| Method | Travel Time | Convenience |
|---|---|---|
| Eastern Plaguelands Portal | 15 mins | Fastest/easiest |
| Shattrath Mage Portal | 13 mins | Need a mage! |
| Warlock Summoning | Instant! | Need a warlock |
| Undercity Zeppelin | 1 hr 40 mins | Very slow |
Insider Tips from a WoW Fanatic
I couldn‘t sign off without sharing some hard-won insights from my years exploring Azeroth!
- When taking the EPL portal, stay central in the platform. Edges sometimes bug out!
- If Blackrock mountain is being annoying, fly behind it clockwise
- Getting a warlock summon is 1000% worth the effort
- Zeppelins are only useful for AFKing during long rides
Let me know if you have any other WoW travel questions! I could give lectures on getting around this world 😀 Now get questing!
