This city is the capital city for both Orcs and Trolls. It is located in northern Durotar.

Comment by Mikus

In the proud Orgrimmar you will find the mighty Thrall, the leader of the Orcs, Trolls, and initially, the Horde! With its many sections, you can find inside; The Valley of Strength, The Vallet of Spirits, The Valled of Honor, The Valley of Wisdom, The Drag, and The Cleft of Shadow. Watch carefully Alliance, as the city is weak from the back entrance. If you plan to raid it, raid it there!

Places of intrested include, the Fishing Pools in The Valley of Spirits and of Honor!

Enjoy the mightiest Horde city of them all, enjoy... Orgrimmar!
(Player abriviation is Org or ORG)

Once again another city I don't think was designed to well. It's a airly long run to get to the blacksmithing area etc. But it is home to Thrall and if Illegal Danish has shown us anything it's that the Horde throws the best parties.

Isn't it also true that Orgimmar is named after Orgrim Doomhammer?

For Alliance:
Do not attempt to go here, unless you're willing to kill Thrall.
If you are coming here for the instance, it's a waste of time. If you are able to survive the gaurds and players all the way to the instance, you'll probably a high lvl which means that the instance is of no use to you. It is the lowest lvl instance in the game.

No fare blizz, Alliance get stormwind and we get what, this? I rly wish they would have put more work into the horde major cities, real disapointment.

Comment by 145137

There's a zeppelin outside of Orgrimmar city toward the east that leads to Tirisfal Glades (Undercity) or Stranglethorn Vale (Grom'gol).

The south ramp leads to Tirisfal Glades; the north ramp leads to STV.

For all the horde out there........ PTR leak from a quest says that "It was a shame that orgrimmar was lost" so it's not going to be there anymore :(

Thunder Bluff just aint fun!

Comment by Kennit

Where did you get your information from retpallyftw? Blizzard wouldn't remove a whole a city... even if they supplied masses of lore to explain its removal!

Comment by 174938

if you want to find a lot of beople look in orgrimmar XD

Comment by Fishrule

Guide to horde city naming,

1) Find famous orc e.g. Thrall or Ogrim
2) Add mar at the end, ThrallMAR and OgrimMAR

Comment by Barba

Any1 know if exist a connection with Thunder Bluff, without using portal, summon or fly ?
Like the ships in ally side...

Comment by 103638

i think the 11th picture of orgrimmar looks like the old Orgrimmar when it was just world of warcraft instead of the burning crusaude or wrath of lich king,

Comment by Saycotek

if you are blood elf and want to travel to orgramar there is zeppelin near brill in Tirisfal Glades.If you are in Silvermoon there is transportation orb in sunfury spire that goes to U ndercity

Comment by Beastana

This is one of the Horde capital cities, who originally belonged to Orcs and now both Orcs and trolls share the city. It is located in Northern durotar, and you can take multiple zeppelins to the city entrance. One leads to Tirisfal Glades, and the other leads to Stranglethorn Vale. I do agree with Volcan, Warsong Hold is Borean Tundra is far more epic and worked on then Orgrimmar, lol, and if they could redo Orgrimmar to make it more interesting than it already is, that would be very schweet.

Comment by Effectrix

There is also a zeppelin tower leading to Northrend (Warsong Hold) to the right as you exit Orgrimmar through the main entrance. A zeppelin will be added in patch 3.2.0 leading to Thunder Bluff.

Comment by 82808

Haha, now i can see people farminf Old Crafty

Waters in this zone have been fished 1349127 times.

Comment by 258919

This is the capital city of Durotar. It houses the orcs and the trolls, who fled from their homeland.

It is the home of Thrall, leader of the orcs and the Warchief of the Horde. It can be entered via two gates - one leading the the northern Barrens and the other leading to northern Durotar. The zeppelins outside can take you to one of 3 places (4 in 3.2). The east tower can take you to the Undercity or Stranglethorn Vale, both in the Eastern Kingdoms. The west tower will take you to Warsong Hold in Borean Tundra, Northrend. In 3.2, a new zeppelin will be added that can ferry players to Thunder Bluff and back, therefore linking all of the cities.

For Allies trying to raid this place (or get in for some sort of world event), the back gate (west) is reccommended. Most of the players (and there are plenty) in Orgrimmar spend their time in the Auction House or Bank, which is in the front part of Orgrimmar. The back road from the back gate to Thrall's chamber is guarded by a few guards, but almost no players venture back there.

Orgrimmar is named after Orgrim Doomhammer.

Comment by 452729

I like the how sometimes when a Player turns in Onyxia's head. some NPC yells about how one of the orcs from org killed a dragon and then everyone in the city gets a 2 hr buff

Comment by 49177

It is possible to fish
Journeman's Robe up in ogrimmar.

Possible other greens as well.

Comment by Tripster

Garrosh will be the new Warchief in Cataclysm? Whatever happened to ol' Thrall?

Comment by 552079

im new to the horde so where is the portal to outlands?

Comment by 407047

Also its named after the HammerFall, a heavy metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden.

Sam "Samwise" Didier is the art director at Blizzard Entertainment.

Away from Blizzard, Samwise is responsible for much of the album art of Swedish power metal band HammerFall.

The name Hammerfall is taken from the Swedish power metal band with the same name. Blizzard employee Samwise Didier has painted several covers for the band so it is likely to be a tribute to the band as well as to Doomhammer.

Getting to Orgrimmar

As an Orc or Troll - Travel directly north from the starting areas of The Den and Sen'jin Village, past Razor Hill, and you'll come to Orgrimmar in no time. Remember to talk to the Innkeeper at Razor Hill or Sen'jin Village so that you can return quickly and easily.

As a Tauren - Travelling to Orgrimmar is an arduous journey, and shouldn't be attempted until the teens due to the dangerous creatures along the Barrens road from Camp Taurajo First, make sure you've spoken with the Flight Master atop the central totem in Thunder Bluff (to simplify the return trip). Travel southwest through Mulgore and take the road to the Barrens. You'll come to Camp Taurajo; speak to the Flight Master here (though you won't have reason to return again until the mid-teens). Tread carefully northwards to the Crossroads, where you can pick up a handfull of quests and speak to a Flight Master as well. Exit Crossroads heading north, but take the eastward road when you come to the "T". You'll cross a river and enter Durotar; almost there! When you reach Razor Hill, head northwards to Orgrimmar.

As Undead - Travel eastwards from Deathknell, past Brill, to the entrance of Undercity (the Ruins of Lordaeron). Once you have spoken with the Undercity Flight Master (into the ruins, down the elevator, and along the topmost ring of the first area you come to), before Lordaeron / Undercity you'll find the zeppelin tower. Make sure you choose the correct loading platform (it's the one with a small flight of separate steps on the outside of the building - check with the goblin on the platform if you forget which is which!). You may have to wait a few minutes for the zeppelin; just jump on when it comes. It's a quick ~3 minute ride to Orgrimmar. When you arrive, it's just a westward hop, skip, and a jump to Orgrimmar's gates.

Map Notes
Class vendors / suppliers, such as poison venders for rogues and tailoring suppliers for tailers, are located with the class trainer
A much easier way to find your way around town is to talk with the guards, the Orgrimmar Grunts. They'll mark many popular locations right on your minimap and full map, and point you the way. However, note the reagent vendor and orcish mount (wolf) vendor. These are two sought-after locations that you can't ascertain from a guard. (Troll mounts can be found at Sen'jin Village in southern Durotar.)

Quests
The following are quests that begin in Orgrimmar and require no specific class nor only prequisite quest completions. This is a simplified listing, i.e. Jarkal's 7-part Uldaman quest begins with "Necklace Recovery" and branches into quests like "Translating the Journal," "Find the Gems and the Power Source" etc. but only "Necklace Recovery" and the final reward is listed for simplicity's sake.

Slaying the Beast
Hidden Enemies (5 part)
Testing an Enemies Strength
Searching for the Lost Satchel (2 part)
Befouled by Satyr
Alliance Relations (4-part)
The Burning of Spirits
Necklace Recovery (7 parts in total)
A Threat in Ferelas
Ripple Recovery (4 part)
Betrayed (4-part)
Bone-Bladed Weapons
March of the Silithid
Assisting Arch Druid Runetotem
Luck Be With You (2 part)
Ice Thistle E'ko
Wildkin E'ko 55
Frostsaber E'ko
Shardtooth E'ko
Frostmaul E'ko
Winterfall E'ko

Comment by Thottbot

There is a portal to UC in Silvermoon City at the back of the city

Comment by Thottbot

I just saw a 70 Warlock inside the Ring of Valor... past the invisible walls. He told me that you can get in through Azshara, but I looked forever and couldn't find what he was talking about. I even tried getting to the top of The Forlorn Ridge (since the maps says there is a cave in the middle) but it was impossible.

Can anyone tell me how to get into the Ring of Valor? Or if he used a spell?

Comment by Thottbot

Has anyone else been to "Empty Orgrimmar"? It's a ton of fun. I'm not sure if they have patched it up by now but here's how you do it. You see the mickey mouse face above me? Jump onto the wall and run it's length. Then take the long wooden pole up and jump off of it onto the building roof near the waterfall. once up there, go up to the wall of orgrimmar. Jump over a part of this wall and into an empty, red orange zone. There will be a large pit in front of you. This is RFC. You must land exactly inside of RFC or you will have to hearth out of the pit. Use an elixir of dream vision to see where to land, because although it LOOKS empty, a few spots will cause you to go through the ground into RFC, and the rest will leave you in the pit. eye of kilrogg works well here. If you land there in RFC, walk towards the exit portal and as soon as you see "loading" you are back inside "Real orgrimmar", but here's the twist. You're still in RFC, just a few feet behind the instance portal. People can see you but they can't GET to you without zoning in, and if they zone, they'll be in their own copy of the dungeon. It's a twilight zone area.

If you DON'T want to go to RFC, walk around the large desolate area. You'll find a bridge of land leading out of the main gate of orgrimmar, and beside the bridge is a wall. You can go out THROUGH those walls, and anyone outside will see you run through the wall and end up in durotar. This will put you bac in the "Real World"

Make sure you're hearth is off CD, and you should have a healer. Jumping off the ledge to get onto the building roof is difficult, and you will often fall onto the rocks and take a lot of damage. Good Luck!

I have a diagram of this, but I cannot figure out how to post a picture into my post. I saw you need to have and whatnot, but my picture isn't online so it has no URL> Anyone wanna show me how?

An orc walks into a bar, with a parrot on his shoulder.

The bartender asks "hey! Where'd you get that?"

The parrots says "Durotar. They got'em all over the place!"

"Greetings!

While we typically try to avoid making changes that can affect legitimate PvP interactions including players engaging in combat with faction-specific NPCs, this particular issue is noteworthy because of some under-the-hood changes we made some time ago to how the Rallying Cry of the Dragonslayer buff is applied in both Stormwind City and Orgrimmar to improve server performance.

Without getting too deep into the nuts and bolts of what we changed, the important thing to be aware of is that being able to sap Overlord Runthak, Major Mattingly, or Field Marshal Stonebridge during their event dialogue to prevent this buff from going out was not actually possible in original World of Warcraft. Sometime very soon we will be applying a hotfix that will more accurately reflect the correct behavior from original WoW.

These NPCs will still be able to sapped and otherwise crowd-controlled as before, but following this hotfix these effects should no longer prevent the event from playing out and the buff from being applied. Please note that the opposing faction can still attack and kill these NPCs after the quest is turned in but before the dialogue completes and this will interrupt the buff going out. This behavior is correct and has been preserved.

Thank you for the reports about this!"
