Feralas is the Hippogryph homeland. Also, this is where the Night Elves came to Azeroth from the Emerald Dream, via the Dream Bough. The only instance currently available in Feralas is Dire Maul.

If you're playing on Alliance, there are a couple somewhat hard-to-find quest NPCs in this zone;

Kindal Moonweaver, and his sister Jer'kai: http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=7956

Rockbiter:
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=7765

Kindal and Jer'kai offer a couple easy-to-do kill quests, and Rockbiter has an escort quest that is in the same area as the Stave of Equinex quest (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=2879).

As you might guess from the general landscape, this is a good place for herbalists to raise their skills in. Additionally, there are a lot of grinding quests here, making it comparable to Tanaris in that respect. However, one advantage Feralas has is that there's less interfaction PVP involved, because the hubs of both factions are clear cut and the players aren't homogenized like in Tanaris.

The yetis of Feralas are great for grinding your leatherworking, as they drop silver and can also be skinned. There is a pretty wide level range on them, and there are also a few quests involving the yetis as well. What more could you want?

Question: Is there anything else on the Isle of Dread? (besides a quest mob)

Comment by Zeneva

Well is a lvl 38 lock ready to go there ? Kinda burned out STV/Desolace quest at lvl 34 or so ..zzzz

Comment by 60255

Helperextreme, you are wrong. Feralas IS indeed the Homeland of the Hippogryphs, but the Night Elves did NOT came to Azeroth throught the Dream Boughs. The Night Elves are an ancient Race, wich developed by the interference of magic energys in the old Land of Kalimdor, over 15000 years ago.

whats the quickest way to feralas if ur on Alliance?

Comment by 64664

Is there any use for that area with the Elite Cliff Giants at the North West part of Feralas?

Comment by 40551

Druids and Shamans using Aquatic Form or Water Walking, respectively, can get from Feathermoon Stronghold to the mainland (and vice versa) faster than the boat can. Don't bother waiting for the boat, just hop in (or on). I would imagine that this would also work for Priests via their Levitate spell.

Comment by 64664

The Isle of the Dread seems to have all kinda 62 elite baddies. Is there any use for this part of the map?
For those wondering how to get at the middle section of the island:
There are at least 2 paths. One on the south east side, and on the mid-east side of the island.

Comment by Tamer

Rogues A few of the quests from feathermoon stronghold see's you fighting with the naga of the island its a perfect time to lvl your lockpicking with the art of pick pocketing as they carry strudy junk boxes.
I managed to lvl my lockpicking while killing from the quests up 20 points.

Comment by Piroko

From what I remember and what I see here in the quest section, this seems like the perfect 42-48 zone.

I like this zone, its nice, especially the Grimtotem Taurens Quest chain and the Ogre's are really nice to level up on.
All in all I recommend this zone if you like a fair bit of grinding and easy quests.
If these aren't your thing, the more "collect this, retrieve that" quests in this level bracket are in Tanaris.
I myself like to make a mix of both zones to not get bored, they are not far away too so that's a good bonus!

Good luck!

Comment by Xarlequin

I found it hard to get the map for Sardor island (The one which Feathermoon stronghold is located on). Therefor I decided to post the cords for where to get the map "explored". The cords are: 32, 54

Comment by 45886

Never, ever, ever, EVER, EVER die in Northern Feralas, unless you like 20 minute corpse runs back to your body.

Graveyard is in Feathermoon stronghold. You won't enjoy the walk.

Comment by 203814

I found this place to be an excellent alternative to Stranglethorn Vale for the Horde for quite a while. I think STV may have more quests but the rate at which you get them done here is much faster mostly due to the fact that after completing just about every quest here, I was never ganked once, speeds things up quite a bit. The only Ally I ever saw here was fishing, and didn't even take notice of my existence. Scenery is beautiful, but don't focus your eyes on the map while traveling, as the terrain can be misleading and you'll hit a lot of raised terrain you can't cross or piles of mobs. Great zone.

Comment by Mydge

Dear Blizz.

Public transport here blows.

Install a freaking bridge already, my plate is rusting!

Comment by Erinyes

Feralas is an excellent zone for those leveling using the Recruit-a-Friend bonuses (triple mob xp and triple quest xp when recruit account and veteran account level together). On first glance when you arrive at Feathermoon Stronghold, there don't seem to be many quests, but the two main chains for the Night Elves, the naga and the silithids, will yield nearly a level's worth of experience on quest turn-ins alone. Combined with the quests for the goblin near the Feralas boat dock and that damnable yeti hide quest, you'll easily gain two levels.

Here's the quests to which I'm referring:
1. The Naga Chain starts here http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=2866 , and continues here http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=3130 .
2. The Silithid Chain starts with this quest- http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=4124 .
3.The goblin's quests start at Zorbin Fandazzle.
4. The yeti quest (it's a chain, but I never even started the second part) starts here http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=2821 .

Note this post refers only to Alliance side quests. I remember doing this area on Horde side, and it was chockful of good quests. The great thing on Alliance side is that you can concentrate on a few quests in one or two areas and get tons of XP from quest turn-ins. Might be same on Horde.

Comment by 258919

I gotta say this is one of the more aesthetic zones in the game. There's a waterfall southwest of Dire Maul that looks real nice, and if you go to the southern part of the Forgotten Shore and look north and a little west, you get a great view of the sun setting (or rising?) beside the mountains. Alt+Z and screenshot.

Comment by Deimoz

Got to say one of my favorite area in the game. So many interesting things and exploring, waterfalls, twin colossals etc.

Comment by buzzin6

I can't help but wonder if the Isle of Dread is based on the DND X1 Modual "The Isle of Dread"

Comment by 417311

IF you are an alliance player and walking from 1000 needles watch out for the Horde place they got high lvl guards there

Comment by kgurnhill

Feralas is nice looking zone!
Rate me up!, before you go-go, dont leave me hangin like a yo-yo!

Comment by Aevis

Imo one of the most beautiful places in azeroth. =)

Comment by Kulzseza

I really like this zone for some reason. It's a nice transition from the likes of Stranglethorn Vale, where PvP/Ganking are rampant.

Beautiful surroundings, decent quests available and all of the aforementioned.

Comment by devilboy1324

wowhead.com does say it only has 2 horde quest givers but there is a lot more at Camp Mojache

Comment by MagisterSJHC

Funny, for reasons I cannot comprehend myself, I never liked this zone. I agree it looks great, but still I always look for another zone to level in after a short while.

Comment by 134105

If you are here for Loremaster be sure to pick up a Hippogryph Egg along the southern wall beyond the hyppogryphs to turn in to Gadgetzan for The Super Egg-O-Matic, which will grant a point toward the achievement the first time you run an egg through it.

Comment by 452504

Feralas is quite the beautiful zone, possibly the most beautiful in Old Azeroth (Winterspring looks better, in my opinion, but I just love snowy zones). The entire zone is a green forest, complete with it's own fog, but possibly the highlight of this zone are the Twin Colossals. Be sure to take the quest to get to the top of one of them, even if you're just passing through.

Going through the zone with your view distance setting maxed makes for pretty sights, whereas the minimum view distance complements the fog, and gives a more 'dense' feeling to the forest. Both are lovely.

This can also make a nice complement in the 'look' of zones if you started in Teldrassil, went to Darkshore, then Ashenvale, then Stranglethorn.

If you haven't quested here ever, it's a wonderful zone. Sometimes just staring at the waterfalls can ease that long grind.

Comment by 122055

Sardor Isle= Island of Sodor from Thomas the Tank engine? Just a thought.

Comment by matoh

in Cataclysm leak,, Feralas will get major overhauls.

Sardor island gone , Feathermoon stronghold moves to mainland while Horde seem to get a new town in the north.

here is the leak,, it might change tough

Comment by 283705

Gold tip!

For Enchant Weapon - Spellpower you need Golden Pearls, which drop from clams, and those are very good farmable from the various Hatecrest naga, found here. The pearls go from 100 to a 150 gold per piece, so that's a nice money maker if don't mind farming.

Remember though, RNG is RNG and can be very unforgiven.

Comment by blabbo

The Isle of Dread will succumb to the shifting tides in Cataclysm* and be underwater (Possibly still holding quests and such but undoubtedly changed completely) and the Feathermoon Stronghold will move to the mainland to escape a similar fate.

Maybe this will mean Shandris will have a larger part to play in the rapidly changing world?

A favorite zone of mine that I quest in on every toon i role. Reminds me of the Pacific Northwest somewhat.

Comment by kazumi

After the cataclysm, the zones look and levels will change. They're all mapped out here:

Comment by yarko

Quested through Feralas today, and had a blast! I LOVE the new old world quest experience! But I didn't see anything about the parachuting off the colossals! :( Please tell me I just missed it and it aint gone!

Comment by Roguesoldier

4.1 merged the Steam Pools into Feralas, it is no longer it's own zone. A Goblin Resort was also added. I created a post about this on mmo-champion during the PTR. It's unfinished and contains spoilers as to what the Resort will be used for.

Comment by SFFCorgi

Y'all really need to go visit the island in the middle of Lake Dumont (that big lake in the northeast - just so you can see it in person.

Those with flying mounts will have it easy.

Comment by 931401

Am I the only one who prefered Desolace? I liked the green Cenarion Widlands and Glade comparing to the greenery in Feralas

Comment by Lucilite

I'm curious how to get to the island off the west coast. I'm on a toon without a flying mount, and there's an archeology digsite on the island... but where does the ferry come? Or is there one?

Comment by 1006197

Just why is there a random resort, level 82-85, at the bottom of this zone?
None of the NPCs can give me an answer. They all just greet me and pretend like there's nothing wrong with sun-bathing in a crab-infested lake.

Refresh the page if they aren't shown after clicking.

Comment by 885261

Once you hit level 35, this zone offers you a nice rare weapon on a rather short quest chain, if you are Alliance: four quests, starting with Forces of Nature: Wisps and ending with Forces of Nature: Mountain Giants. All these quests can be done mounted.

Horde have to complete seven quests, starting with Testing the Vessel and ending with Weapons of Spirit.

Comment by 228447

Since Cata: The very bottom lake in Feralas is called "The Steam Pools" It is only flyable to get there. And is not marked on the map. It is a goblin resort area. No vendor's of any kind. And it seems like the "resort" is more over a slave labor camp for it's guests! There is even children there. As part of the story.

The lake has King Crawler's in it. They are level 83. You can skin them for Savage Leather, and about 1 in 5 chance to get Deepsea Scale's. These also drop Monstrous Claw's regularly. (a Cata cooking ingredient)

The King Crawler's are conservatively scattered around the lake. Once I've cleared them all, I go back to the bottom of the lake and work my way in again. I hope this helps someone because I didn't believe that these mob's existed until I investigated myself. I've searched many zones looking for good drop rates for the Deepsea scales. So far this has been the most lucrative spot.

Comment by 1106934

ah behold the land of the noxious whelps, that are said to drop Emerald Whelpling I have yet to find one.

curse you probability!

Comment by 564108

Personally, the best thing about Feralas is (61.8, 67.6). (Useless comment, I know, but I just loved it.)

Comment by Babibori81

Hi I am struck I have 44 of 45 quest completed and I can't get achievement can anyone help

Comment by PSPlayer

What I love about this place is that it reminds me a lot of the alpine areas of my home state here, Washington. Except we have a lot fewer ogres, I guess.

Comment by 1389495

stupid monster kill me here -____________-

Comment by Goodwinn

While questing in Feralas don't forget to pick up OOX-22/FE Distress Beacon and complete the subsequent quests Find OOX-22/FE! and Rescue OOX-22/FE!. Along with OOX-09/HL Distress Beacon (from The Hinterlands) and OOX-17/TN Distress Beacon (from Tanaris) it is one of the items that leads into the quest An OOX of Your Own and rewards a Mechanical Chicken.

You can use the following macro to determine if you've completed the Feralas portions of these quests...

/run local c = IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(25475)print("1. You have"..(c and "" or " not").." completed Find OOX-22/FE! (Feralas)")
/run local c = IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(25476)print("2. You have"..(c and "" or " not").." completed Rescue OOX-22/FE! (Feralas)")

Comment by Amatsu

This zone looks amazing with the new night filter.

Comment by Acccattone

At the bottom of the hippogryph area there is a tiny lake, nested in the mountains, which is nameless and seems to hold no relevance to quests. However, it has its own 'weather': it gets noticeably darker and dimmer in its proximity, and the music changes.
Just some fun from te devs? easter egg? something hidden?

Comment by 1404397

Hello.

How do I get to Feralas from Orgrimmar?

Comment by AgniChai

What a fabulous zone. I'm sad I put off questing in it for so long due to how remote it is and that I tend to out-level it before reaching it. My only complaint about the quest layout is that the last chapter in the east involves going close to overpowered Horde PvP guards and I somehow pulled them multiple times. I wish that Camp Mojache wasn't on the road itself. Other than that, the zone has a hefty dose of night elf quests and YAY, Shandris!

My hunter could spend hours just exploring the thick forests and lush floors, and the music (Cataclysm) is really beautiful. I got to pretend I was exploring a giant sequoia forest :)
