[Old School Exploration] Uninstanced Sunwell

[Teryaki]

Hey Guys,

First time thread poster here, and being an avid explorer since day one of WoW, I would like to start sharing all the things that I find myself.

I was running MgT today and was thinking to myself, man it was sure fun trying to get up into Sunwell uninstanced. So I decided to try something out. I searched "Quel'danas" and "Sunwell" and could not find this anywhere.

Back in wrath, when the levitate bug worked, I remember getting in there no problem, but I also remember trying this exact thing and it did not work. I am not sure if it is a recent bug, but we will see. (yes, my paint skills are horrible.)

*Note - This may depend on the size of your mount, because it seems like there is an invisible wall that is keeping you from jumping high enough to attach to the wall. You may need to have a larger mount, but it worked fine as a male blood elf on a Hawkstrider. My Windrider did not work. When you jump your mount kinda hangs for a split second in midair and then attaches to the wall. That's how you know it is working.

Difficulty: Medium

Start here:


This is what the area should look like. Jump at the crack that the blue box is in, and be sure to be mounted. You will attach onto the wall.




Once you get attached to the wall, dismount and jump up. Be sure you are on the crack. Keep jumping up until you get to the top of the ledge.


Once on the ledge, follow the blue line onto the golden ledge.


Keep following the golden ledge around.




Once you get around, you will be on the ledge. Be sure not to go onto the stairwell that is in front of my character, it is not solid. EDIT: In fact, most of the walls after you jump onto the platform are not solid. So be aware.


Happy exploring!

Video Added!

I found out how to make the quality of the video better, although it was a bit choppy. I believe it was updating or something, that is why it was kinda choppy. I also added a little more to the exploration. It is possible to snowfall down into the water by jumping though the walls. You can explore under the water to your hearts content, but I did not find much down there.

Nice one !
And yes, beware of the fake non solid walls inside

Explorations without flying mounts are always better, they have the feeling of old times, love that.


Edit : too much rep given i'llt ry to remember this in 24 hours.

Very nice post. I've seen several ways into un-instanced Sunwell posted on OwnedCore, but this way is completely new.

+3 rep.
