Comentario de Mozedo

El Fiordo Aquilonal se sitúa muy por encima del Mare Magnum, en el extremo sudeste de Rasganorte. Se cuenta que, antiguamente, esa región estaba habitada por los vrykul, una raza de guerreros semigigantes que fundaron una extensa civilización.

Pero un día, sin aviso ni explicación, los vrykul desaparecieron dejando atrás nada más que pueblos desiertos y templos abandonados.

Ahora la Horda y la Alianza han venido para enfrentarse al maléfico Rey Exánime y acabar con la Plaga. La Alianza ha establecido un área de acopio en el asentamiento de Valgarde, pero su presencia parece haber desencadenado un acontecimiento no previsto: el regreso de los vrykul.

Estos formidables guerreros han comenzado a atacar los asentamientos de la Horda y de la Alianza, y muchos de los vrykul salen en tropel de la Fortaleza de Utgarde, no muy lejos de Valgarde. La motivación de los vrykul y su paradero durante los últimos años siguen siendo un misterio. Sin embargo, no cabe duda de que el repentino resurgimiento de los vrykul tiene algo que ver con la continua batalla por el control de la región.

Mientras tanto, los prospectores enanos han descubierto a unos misteriosos parientes cuya piel está grabada con extrañas runas. Estos enanos férreos podrían ser el eslabón perdido que necesitan los enanos para resolver el misterio de su creación.

Los Renegados han llegado a la orilla este y llevan con ellos su propia plaga para desencadenarla sobre el Rey Exánime. La reina Sylvanas ha estado supervisando metódica y pacientemente la fórmula de esta enfermedad contagiosa durante varios años y, al fin, ha llegado la hora de comprobar su efectividad contra la Plaga.

Antes de llevar la batalla ante el Rey Exánime, tanto la Horda como la Alianza deberán superar la inmediata amenaza de los vrykul y encontrar respuestas a las preguntas planteadas por la reaparición de los guerreros. ¿Dónde han estado los vrykul? ¿Qué quieren? Y la más preocupante de todas: ¿por qué se han aliado con el Rey Exánime?

Quizá solo el tiempo tenga las respuestas. Por ahora, la batalla no ha hecho más que empezar.

Probably one of the starting zones in Wotlk.

Comentario de 2259

Is it just me or would you rather play this starting area to the Borean Tundra?

Borean Tundra drums up images of grinding mobs in Winterspring. Howling Fjord just looks so much better! Much more warcraft-esque in my eyes.

Sweeeeet.

Based on the last picture from the alpha, the Storm Giant found in Howling Fjord will be similar to the Fel Reaver of Hellfire Peninsula.

Comentario de 167459

you can come here at 68 and can choose from borean tundra or howling fjord the difference is probly going to be different factions in each zone and thiers a quest that gives blue quality gear in each of the zones the howling fjord quest gives you the choice of 3 blue trinkets and the borean tundra lets you chose between some wepns in my opinion this place looks much better than borrean tundra and the reason why they made 2 zones is because they did not want the overcrowding of 1 zone wich in my opinion is a great idea cause not only will you not have to wait an hour for a dam mob to spawn but you also wont have the problem of intensive random ganking going on

Comentario de Rarehunter

Howling Fjord, forming Daggercap Bay, is the place where Arthas landed when tracking Mal'ganis. Just a bit of WoW lore.

Comentario de Gnare

The picture captioned "Vengeance Landing" is actually "New Agamand", unless I'm mistaken :)

Comentario de genza

Map is currently missing a dryad questgiver at 61,23
Both factions.

Comentario de Kamillah

OMG
I'm in love with this zone already and can't wait to go there. So beautiful!

Comentario de 201062

Very cool looking area. This look like a mix of Shipwreck cove (Pirates of the Carribean 3) and just a regualar dock. Most of the boats are on fire which looks almost real and most of the mobs you fight are the awesomest things ever.... giant vikings.

This will be the new Nagrand and great work Blizz.

Comentario de 183840

Horde players can get here by zeppelin in Tirisfal Glades (second tower).

Comentario de 236823

Instances in Howling Fjord: Utgarde Keep and Utgarde Pinnacle.
Pretty cool instance names btw^^ xD

Comentario de 12004

Should likely include the achievement Friend or Fowl? as the turkeys are in this zone.

Comentario de Vath

Alliance can get here via the boat in Menethil Harbor that led to Auberdine, as the Auberdine boat now sails to Stormwind Harbor.

Comentario de smiley001

Removed comment as its based on me thinking for some reason this zone didnt have a Grandmaster Alchemy trainer -_-

Comentario de mrdummy

Low level players below l68 can reach the first place without killing risk. They can only learn Grandmaster skills for the professions. Each skill costs 35 gold, but it gives also Archievement. :) Almost all Grandmasters are there in the first place.
Make sure you have 350+ in your skills.

The lowest level is 68 to get the first quest, but higher is more easier, or you have good gear.

Comentario de tarunloko

Horde can get to Howling Fjord by taken the zeppelin from Tirisfal Glades

Comentario de 177129

Just to recap some random information.

Horde get their via the zeppelin from UC.
Alliance get their via the boat in Menethil Harbor.

Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord are the same level. Unlike Hellfire Pennisula/Zangarmarsh where one is slightly higher than the other. However, Howling Fjord has less quests overall than Borean Tundra.

Comentario de br0ck

has anyone been able to complete 105 quests in this area as horde? i have 83/105 completed thus far and can't find anymore quests.

Comentario de br0ck

why was my rating lowered? i was asking a regular question.

anyways, there are a chain of quests that start at the ancient lift which you need to do as it leads into 20 other quests at scalawag point.

i mention this because there is no quest that leads into this vital quest, and it is not on the wowhead map. i hope this is helpful to some.

Comentario de 244433

I just want to point out the the correct pronunciation of Fjord is fyord, not ford, not fa-HORD, not fa-JORD, and definately not FUH-jerd as I've heard it. The "j" makes a "y" sound. Thought you should know.

Edit: Small typo, thanks to Kedana for pointing that out.

Comentario de 36214

Fishing in Howling Fjord requires at least 380 Fishing, 475 to avoid losing catches.

Comentario de 139313

Ah finally here! Howling Fjord, the land of opportunities and gold! Clover...

Comentario de 72744

Herds of Shoveltusk offer excellent skinning practice along the high plateaus of the Fjord.

Comentario de 150947

If youre hated with the goblins you wont be able to take the q's from "Silvermoon" Harry and his crew. Atleast I could'nt.

Comentario de philcsf

The quest giver Lurielle does not appear on the 'Show on map...' option for both factions, and she offers six quests.

If you're working through the quests, you'll get directed over to her by an NPC at Camp Winterhoof or Fort Wildevar (depending on faction) anyway, just a shame she doesn't appear properly in the database.

Comentario de 112702

Lurielle is at 60,22
First quest from her is:
Spirits of the Ice

Comentario de ezechiel

note that the mobs here are yielding more experience than in Outland, aprox +50 - +60%.
e.g., a lvl 70 mob in Outland yields ~1200 XP, while in Northrend dies for ~1900 XP.

Comentario de lolkitteh

Go here or Borean tundra at level 68. I picked Howling Fjord because I liked it a bit more.

Comentario de temu92

Competely out of topic but I noticed glitch in map. There reads "Skörn" not "Skorn" :)

Comentario de 195360

Here's something any hordie coming to Vengeance Landing must get used to hearing from Apothecary Lysander:

SEVERE STOMACH PAIN?

Comentario de pacman90123

IMO this place has some of the most relaxing music :P i turned everything but music to 0 and for some reason made questing easier.

Comentario de Umega

Anyone know what Cauldros Isle is for? I can't find any quests that send me there. =/

Comentario de kryptikz

Halgrind reference to hellgrind from The eragon series maybe?

Comentario de manko

While I think Howling Fjord is a great looking zone. I think it is the single worst zone for quests (at least for Horde) in all of Wrath. There isn't a huge number, it's very heavy on travel with more than one chain requiring a long back and forth without a large number or quests to do there, there is an elite chain with no item rewards, and what travel there is broken up by huge chasms at a level where you can't fly. I think Borean Tundra beats it hands down for leveling.

Comentario de gladiator1995

Howling Fjord for me would be the best choice to start Northrend since I have chosen Borean Tundra because some friends told me.This place,well when i went to explore it, was the best place I have ever been in WoW since it's beautiful scenery and the fantastic idea of the elevators made me love it.I would not recommend for leveling area since it can be difficult for low levels (who are leveling their first character) to go,because the shores if you do not have flying skill can make this place from magical to horrifying.If though it is not your first character then I recommend it(Excuse me if i have grammar and vocabulary mistakes since English isn't my first language)

Comentario de 412781

This might just be my computer/account that does this, but I would like to warn people about Daggercap Bay.

I went in to the bay hoping to catch some fish, and i've ended up stuck there. I can't even get on to my toon that's there with out being disconnected.

If you have any suggestions, great, I'd love to hear them.

If not, just be careful about that.

Comentario de 171097

I really cant stand leveling here, the mobs right outside of Vangard are on a very quick respawn timer and can make it a pain to get through the first few quest there, Birean is really a better place to go when first comming to Northrend, I plan on coming back here at max lvl to get the gold rewards forr the quest, but by far better quest and rewards in Borean Tundra.

Comentario de 434567

where is ivald´s ruin :S im conufsed i need to explore it

Comentario de gubugu

Just to remember ,

but if u prefer Borean Tundra

Hordes get to Borean Tundra by the Zeppelin at Durotar
Alliances geto to Borean Tudra by the boat on Stormwind

Comentario de 451903

Howling Fjord is a lovely looking zone, but for Horde it's a bit of a pig to quest in. Alliance get far better chains and quest rewards along with better stories, the Horde quest lines just seem to fizzle out and never really go anywhere exciting, the rewards are generally poor too.

Whichever faction you're playing as, I'd recommend questing out Borean Tundra thoroughly first, so that you're 71/72 by the time you get to the Fjord. You'll have loads of great gear from Borean Tundra, and have an easier time of questing in the Fjord, not such a big deal for Alliance, but for Horde you really want to smash through it as quick as possible and get to Dragonblight where things pick up again.

If you're Horde, you're best off getting all the flight points before you start questing (Vengeance Landing, New Agamand, Apothecary Camp, Camp Winterhoof and the neutral at Kamagua) - this will also 'link' all the flight points together, otherwise Vengeance Landing will just say 'you don't know any flight points connected to this one' - you'll also have to get the flight point in Moa'Ki Harbour to link Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord in terms of flight points.

Comentario de Gullwings

Don't like the Gnome's flying machine trip around...everywhere? Well, you're in luck! Just across Daggercap Bay is a trail that leads ALL the way up the cliffside to the dwarves that give you the "Iron Man" quest chain. If you stand on the dock and look slighty left of the big opening in the cliff where the boat goes, there is a lamp marking the start of the trail.

Please note: Be very careful going up and even more careful going down. Lots of sharp corners that take you straight down to Splatterdead Country.

How we can to be Exalted with there?
I can't find any daily quest for horde

Comentario de 446389

Just go to menethil Harbor, Wetlands. Take the black steam boat at the far side of the harbor. It will take you to Valgarde Harbor, Howling Fjord.

Long over due hitchhiker's reference... I wonder if slartibartfast had anything to do with this?

Comentario de 750769

Can anyone tell me where Cauldros Isle is? Thanks.

Comentario de 235398

If anyone's interested in Norse Mythology (a lot of which is represented in various forms throughout WotLK), read "Thor's Journey to Utgard".

Just as a teaser, it features the God of Thunder himself getting into a drinking contest and attempting to lift a gigantic cat.

Comentario de 405759

Just curious, is there anywhere in the real world that is like howling fjord?

Comentario de Systex

One of the most beautiful and relaxing zones in the game ... oh wait, I'm wrong here.
It is the most beautiful and most relaxing zone in the game! Seriously, I love this place, I love the quests, I love the music, I even love the penguins sitting on the ice all day long.
This place also reminds me of Norse mythology, really awesome zone.

If you're new to the game I would prefer to level in the Borean Tundra, cause the quests are much easier and it's not as big and confusing as the Howling Fjord.

Comentario de 473517

Gjalerbron, a zone within Howling Fjord, (along with the Fjord itself) is often horribly mispronounced. However, Blizzard included a quest just to explain how to say it!

It is called Dealing with Gjalerbron and given by Captain Adams, who says that the Vrykul;

call the place Gjalerbron, though you'd pronounce the 'Gj' as if it were an 'Sh'. Odd creatures.

The horde equivalent of this quest is Dealing with Gjalerbron offered by Chieftain Ashtotem though the explanation of how to pronounce Gjalerbron is not given in that quest log.

Comentario de 960340

I want to travel here to see an expert profession trainer but every time i get in the Zeppelin from the 2nd tower it drops me in Brill! Do I need to be a certain level or is there another problem?

Comentario de 787695

How do you get there as Alliance? I can't tell if the older comments are valid or not.

Comentario de 962667

There should really be an NPC named after Slartibartfast (of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) in this zone. After all, he did design the "fiddly bits around the fjords".

Comentario de akrees

Zone music is an iconic WOTLK sound )

Comentario de realta

Unfortunately, it's a huge pain to get here for the average quester: flying to Menethil even from Ironforge seems like too much work when you can take a handy boat from Stormwind to see the Borean Tundra.

Comentario de misterknister

Copy paste text is wrong:

Howling Fjord is the other Northrend zone open at level 5868. It is the eastern-most zone in Northrend, with breathtaking mountains, cliffs, and fortresses. ~~Prior to 7.3.5, it was~~It is considered more challenging to level in this zone because of the steep mountains and windy paths between quest objectives compared to the flat plains of Borean Tundra. ~~However, with flying changes, you can fly in Northrend at level 60 via Expert Riding so this zone is less challenging.~~

Alliance players learn about the reawakened vrykul, the prototype for humans, while Horde players assist the Forsaken in developing a new plague (perhaps with ethical qualms) to defeat the Lich King. Both sides also assist the Tuskarr in putting the spirits of their ancestors to rest, as well as aiding a group of humorous pirates.

Howling Fjord ranges from levels ~~10-30~~68-72.
