Ghostland to Outland using Flightpaths

[DrakeFish]

Hi there. Here's my new contribution to WoW Exploration! I just saw this post about glitching through Ghostland-Eastern Kingdoms portal and it gave me an idea: What if we could take a flight path that led from Ghostland to Outlands using this? Would it be possible? For those who are not so informed about this, each continent uses a different Map ID. The Ghostland area is on the same Map ID as Outlands, meaning they're connected. You can't see each other because there is a big empty zone between those two, that can't be travelled without using hacks. However, I realized this new exploit allows to use a flight path that is normally used in Ghostland or Eastern Kingdom into the other zone, meaning we could pass it. I started doing my researches today, noting the approximate position I'd have to travel to to get to the Outlands from Ghostland. I were afraid that no Eastern Kingdom flight path would allow to land on an Outlands terrain. Actually, it is possible! After analyzing some zones, I realized Silverpine Forest south area is sharing the Hellfire Peninsula Dark Portal position! Even better, I found out that at the position where this flight path usually takes you in Eastern Kingdoms, you are above the ground in Outlands.

tl;dr : We can take a flight path from Ghostland using this exploit, that will lead us directly inside Outlands!

I didn't try it yet, I don't have the time for now. But this actually will work. Unless I failed at comparing the positions, the flight path you took at Ghostland will take you to Outlands. The only possible problem I see is the transition between flight paths. If server watches if you're in the good MapID, this will fail. This method is for horde side, but I'm sure we can get it to work for alliance too, using a different flight path direction.

Here are the steps:
1. Go to any flight master in Ghostland/Eversong.
2. Take the flight path that leads to the node you can see in the above picture (in Silverpine Forest)
3. Use this exploit when passing through the portal. But instead do it from Ghostland to Eastern Kingdom. The only difference is that the portal seems to teleport you before you hit it, so do the exploit earlier than in that video.
3b. If you failed at doing the glitch, just relog, you'll stop at Light's Hope Chapel.
4. Enjoy flying for some times, you will probably see Outlands mountains appear soon enough!

Here's the flight path you have to pick as destination from Ghostland:


Here's the area in Outlands this corresponds to:



Have fun with this! It's useless but it's still, in my opinion, a great exploration find! If you can, try recording this so we can see more than just a proof of concept.

Great stuff, DrakeFish. I'll be trying this on Alliance over the weekend to see if I can get it to work for us. +rep for your thought process behind the theory... seems sound to me.

Here's a small edit on this. I just noticed that because we're logging out, we will land at next flight master. Even if I didn't try it, this probably means that we would stop at Light's Hope Chapel instead of continuing. However, a server-side DC macro would probably help on this one, I don't have any for current patch, and I'd like anyone with one to try this or post it so I can try this. Thanks. That's still a theory, I didn't try any of this.
