Note that while this may eventually change, in order to explore Bloodcurse Isle you must also explore Bloodcurse Reef, which is another subzone off of the east coast of Wyrmscar Island.

Comment by Drolfeir

The Hidden and Bloodcursed reefs were the hardest for me to find as a "Horde for Life" player. The Hidden Reef is north west of Axxarien off the coast a bit, while the Bloodcursed Reef is in the waters east of Wyrmscar island.

You can use this map to click off the places you've been.

Comment by iceeagle

The Hidden Reef in the only one I missed. It's at 35 17. You can see some boats underwater in the area.

Been trying to get bloodcurse isle but cant seem to get it discovered.

Comment by Ihvon

Cartographer addon has a bug where Bloodcursed Isle won't come up as explored. Try turning it off and check if it's explored on the normal world map.

Comment by 200036

The Bloodcursed Reef and The Hidden Reef dont show on your map as undiscovered areas with fog over them. Keep that in mind when exploring this area. You dont want to miss those areas as a horde player or you will have to go back =/

Comment by 230248

The Hidden Reef was the only place on the two Islands I had not explored. I did all the quests from 1-20 for the rep a year ago. There are no quests, at least Dwarf quests, that go to the hidden reef.

Comment by 124235

Look for the sunken boats east of Wyrmscar Isle for Bloodcursed Reef. Approach them and you should discover it.

The Hidden Reef is in a sort of cove on the north western part of the map near a bunch of murlocs.

Comment by 66145

Mapster has same issue.

Comment by 232184

Tel'athion's Camp was my last one. You can't tell that you haven't been there because it's so small on the map.

Comment by 148693

Tel'athion's Camp is somewhere in the middle of the "lava looking" river..
coords : 26,?

Comment by Roran

Can't seem find Talon Stand / The Foul Pool, could someone try to explain where they are? I dont have coords :/

Comment by Kciroj

Where's Talon Stand/ the Foul Pool?

While not as well hidden as the Hidden/Bloodcursed Reefs, these two can indeed be easily missed. Talon Stand is the mountain top on Wyrmscar Island, and the Foul Pool can be found in the river just west of Axxarien.

edit: Why downrate correct information?

Comment by 201004

The most places to hit of any one zone for all the exploration achievements, with a total of 28.

Comment by 65203

Arguably the worst exploration Achievement to do.

There are 28 mini-zones to hit, the "explored" colour for the map is only slightly darker brown than the background making it hard to see, some of the zones are tiny, there are 2 islands to visit, and also 2 zones are in the sea, and give no indication you need to go there.

Definitely one to make you thankful for WoWHead :-)

Comment by 237417

cords pls m8

Comment by 234281

Undoubtedly, the only exploration with a subzone marked by a single tent in the middle of nowhere, and subzones in the ocean.

Comment by 6448

For those of you with no coordinates and needing a more descriptive location on Tel'athion's Camp, it's in the river northeast of the Vector Coil. Thank goodness for the maploc function on Wowhead Looter. x_x

Edit: Also, the original poster has a nice little map of where to find things. Wish I'd seen that link the first time I was here. =\

How do I get to the isle as a horde?

Comment by Ladria

As a Hordie Id run to Darkshore, take the boat to Exodar(theres signes before u get to the boats), then run from Exodar up to to Bloodmyst Isle :) But be nice to the guards ;)

Comment by Felet

The boat at the end of the pier takes u to the draenei starting area, the one on the right part of the pier takes you to the night elves starting area and the last one (lft) to Stormwind (flags you for pvp so be careful).

- Hidden Reef
- Bloodcursed Reef

http://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=3525:259407330221800240

Comment by hohocacho31

the way i got there (to bloodmyst) is that i went down the coast of westfall into stormwid harbor. then if u get right under that pole sticking out in front of the boat and drown urself... then u can safely get on the boat. repaeat at darkshore to get to azuremyst... might as well get the achivement there and then head to bloodmyst... its kinda time consuming but even low lvls can do it.

And thank you arkuda for the map... it helped me find tel'athion's camp and finish up the acheivements

Comment by 166004

The Hidden Reef is well hidden.

The Foul Pool was difficult to find for me. It is located just northwest of Tel'athion's Camp.

Comment by tailsandy

pain in the ass

Comment by Zephinism

'Tel'athion's Camp' is Ridiculously hard to find, especially as a purely horde player. I had to check here to find it to be honest...

Comment by sephiroth692

If you're a low level explorer, this is a great place to go because of the experience you get.

Comment by 217500

Tel'athion's Camp is amazingly small. Look for an empty tent by the river.

Comment by 485216

YOU DUMBASS RETARDS, i been trying to find the hidden reef IT IS NOT NORTH WEST how the hell dont oyu know ur geography! its north east just swim out past the murlocs a bit n youll find it you dont have to go under or nothing crazy like that

Comment by midnightstar

I was angered to learn that, in Cataclysm, you can fly in any zone in the whole game except the Draenei/Blood Elf ones. Especially in Bloodmyst Isle, with the hidden reefs and such, it's probably the most annoying to explore.

Comment by Aomknight

bug confirmed, for both the Draenei, and also the Blood Elf Starting areas

Comment by 728302

Great setup by Drofeir. Just used it and still good even with Cata (Shame the no flying mounts in this area atm).

Comment by 714688

The easiest way to do this achievement as HORDE now that Auberdine has been destroyed is to take the boat from Orgrimmar to STV than fly to Stormwind Harbor, then just look for the boat with the Auberdine Sentinels in front of it. I hovered above until I saw nobody and just flew right down but that's up to you. After getting to Teldrassil, you fly over to the other dock and wait for the boat to Azuremyst. At Azuremyst I just used an Elixir of Water Walking (which works while mounted as long as you don't take damage) and just ran around the side of Exodar.

Goodluck!

-Sky Mannoroth

Comment by IgnitusBoyone

Keep in mind you can't fly once you get there, so its going to be a long run.

Comment by 785571

Great help ty all so much for the much needed help with finding the harder ones!

Comment by texdel

Since no one else seemed to have the trouble I did, I will add my two bits. Veridian Point is in the northern part of Wyrmscar Island off the coast of the mainland to the northeast; this is not necessarily triggered by doing the quest on top of the mountain on Wyrmscar. Although I was doing the quest achievement for Bloodmyst, I also missed The Warp Piston (even though I did the quest there) and The Hidden Reef (where the Draenei water totem quest was but that has been removed). All of these are in the north and could be missed even if you do quests in the area. The Warp Piston is the actual building(?) near the voidwalkers, not necessarily the area they are in. The Hidden Reef is all the way to the northwest and past the murloc huts off the coast.

Comment by auramichelle

Okay, although these posts where helpful in exploring the Bloodmyst Isles, some of these places were still hard to find. Even though most of them you find by simply doing your quests (all of the quests, including the hidden ones) these two places you have to actually look for, the Hidden Reef and the Tal'athion Camp. Alright to find the Hidden Reef when you complete the quest Raxormaw, simply swim out until it says you've discovered it. Its right there off the Blacksilt Shore. To find Tal'athion Camp it is in-between the triangle of Vector Coil, Amber Web Pass and Vindicator's Rest. In fact it is directly across the river from Amber Web Pass and directly behind Vindicator's Rest. I hope this makes it easier for you to discover BloodMyst Isles than it was for me.

Comment by nuttswoman

Quest depends on your race (human, elf,gnome...) and your chosen profession (warrior, hunter, rogue...) and if your alliance or horde. I have a hunter, warrior & rogue alliance and have found that quest differ in all areas between alot to just slightly. In Bloodmyst as a human rogue I am only able to find 55 of the 60 quest for my character. Was informed by other players that sometimes quest will start in other areas and complete in a different one entirely. I am hoping this is the case.

Comment by windjammer72

NO flying anywhere in the zone. Major bummer.

Comment by 842565

To get to darn just fly from new city in Darkshore you will make it

Comment by november

As Horde, I actually find it easier to find a means of water walking (elixir, Shaman spell, Path of Frost), then ride over to Teldrassil from the westernmost point of Darkshore. On a fast mount (i.e. from lvl 40 onwards), you pass the fatigue zone with about 25 seconds to spare. Of course, if you are lvl 60 and can fly, that makes it even easier.

Once in Teldrassil, the boat to draenei country stops at the westernmost dock.

I must have fluked it never came across one elite in the whole area.

Comment by Bloodknell

Nor do they work in Ghostlands or Eversong Woods... I would have done this sooner...

Comment by Haaze

Here's the fastest way to get there for Horde with flyer:

1. Fly to Whisperwind Grove in Felwood.
2. Fly to Lor'Danel in Darkshore and Fly along the beach along the fatigue edge and go to 39,12.
3. Fly directly to the west towards Teldrassil. I made it across the gap without my fatigue bar dropping below 60% and that was with a 280% flyer.
4. Bam!, you're there and can take the Alliance boat to Azuremyst Isle and run to Bloodmyst Isle. Enjoy.

Comment by 904644

This has to be the worst exploration of all the achivements, the reefs are the biggest pains, the hidden reef is off past the murloc's little base just swim out you'll see a sunken ship and will come across it as for bloodcursed, just swim around the isle

Comment by cerw

Thank you to whomever posted a map below of the 3 most difficult spots to find on this island. The hidden reef was indeed a pain to find - it is on the north side of the main island, directly out from the far left of the 3 murloc camps.

Comment by SnowRaker

Nice guides and tips everyone. Thanks for taking the time to leave these co-ords and maps for your fellow gamers! :)

Comment by Toreadores

The Bloodmyst Isle is the worst exploration zone in the whole game (at least for me). Reasons for that:
-There are too many exploration points (28 points) for a small zone like this one. Even Azuremyst Isle (which is little bigger than Bloodmyst) has 17 points.
-Some of the exploration points are very small and hard to find like Tel'Athion's camp, The Hiddn Reef, The Bloodcursed Reef and etc. These points are not really necessary. Sometimes you've explored everything else and you have to travel from side to side, when you check their locations on internet. You lose time and it's very annoying.
-The color of the map (when you open the map menu) is brown-redish which can cause you problem to determine if there is an unexplored place or it is just part of the explored map.

I don't know why blizz decide to put so many points in this zone but it's really not necessery.

P.S. I appologize for my english if I have some mistakes.

Comment by unclevinny

This site has a pretty great map of the locations, for those who don't like TomTom.

Comment by Tinul4

By far the worse 10-20 zone to explore. If you made a Draenei and are questing (which you should if you're looking to get the Tabard of the Hand), you won't discover all the zones while doing your questing, so if you want to be efficient with it you should try to discover the nearby zones as you do your quests.

^&*!ing Bloodcursed Reef isn't even close to Bloodcurse Isle, it's on the S-E shore of Wyrmscar Island and I still haven't found Tel'athion's Camp and The Hidden Reef

Comment by SHAWAR

how does one get to bloodmyst isle?

Comment by Deadberri

After a while of going through so many maps, searches, and videos that I thought would help me with this achievement I grew annoyed. Annoyed that there wasn't a super reliable source to get this done. I found a map that was very useful to me when doing this achievement. Check it out! Just found out as a newbie on here I can't post a link. I really would have loved to have this when I started this achievement. I hope putting it like this doesn't break the rules.

wow. gamepressure. com /map.asp?ID=88

Comment by Eleana

For the Horde who want to get this achievement done as of Battle for Azeroth, go to Darkshore and speak with Zidormi to travel through time to another point in Darkshore's history.

TomTom: /way Darkshore 48 24 Zidormi

Then, fly directly towards Teldrassil towards the northwest. Note: you will suffer some fatigue but you should reach Teldrassil when the bar reaches about half. Go to Rut'Theran Village docks, go to the western dock and take the portal to Exodar (coordinates are at around 52, 89).

This will take you to Azuremyst Isle and now you can just walk/ride (no flying in this zone) north to Bloodmyst Isle.
