This is the capital city for the Dwarven and Gnomish races, and it located in northern-dentral Dun Morogh. You can access it via a path north of Kharanos. The path leaves the main path and goes east up into the mountains.

The Deeprun Tram connects Stormwind and Ironforge, allowing direct travel between the two cities without cost or risk of attack by NPC creeps.

Become one of Greatfather Winter's helpers. All you have to do is go just outside of the city of Ironforge (just to the left if your coming out, and on the right if your going in) and step into the machine and you will instantly be transformed into a green or red gnome!! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Comment by AimeX

This is the main city of Dwarf/gnomes!
The entrance is at 53,33.
It is a great city! =)

Just in case anyone else was looking for some info on the Hall of Thanes, I'll put it up; just because so many people want to get there today :)

The Hall of Thanes is a massive, natural cavern complex. It is located in Ironforge’s lowest depths. The area is a true marvel of organic stone formation: No dwarf has touched this area with pick or chisel. Ironforge’s kings are buried in the Hall of Thanes, and the old throne is here as well. Also within this cavernous area is the ancient, weathered Iron Forge — perhaps the greatest titan artifact ever unearthed. The dwarves do not use this holy anvil, but keep it near their honored dead and the seat of their power.LOC 76,77

The area contains:

The Hall of Thanes, where the past Kings of Ironforge are buried.(Note that the RPG implies that Hall of Thanes is the name of Old Ironforge rather than just being a location within Old Ironforge.)

The Old Throne

The object for which Ironforge is named, the Iron Forge, an ancient Titan artifact.

Old Ironforge exists in game, but it is not accessible through normal means, and as a closed area, contains no NPCs, items, or other such content. In the High Seat area of Ironforge, there is a hidden door behind Deliana. This hidden door leads to a long hallway descending to the underground chamber of Old Ironforge. Old Ironforge consists of a large column of stone in a pool of lava. At the top is a carpeted platform, and a path winds down around the column to two closed doors. The ceiling features large purple crystal formations.

There are several ways of getting into Old Ironforge that were known to work in the past. Blizzard periodically implements workarounds to prevent access to closed zones, so now some of them may have been fixed.

The first is to start a duel with a mage behind the pole outside of the bank in Ironforge. QUICKLY run into the back of the king's room (it is close enough to where the original duel started, so the duel will not cancel). Run up next to the door and have the mage sheep you. If all goes well, you will wander under the door and the sheep will break. If not, try it again.

This is an alternative to the first way. You'll also need a mage friend. Starting facing the bank in Ironforge, take the passageway to the right so it goes to the Great Forge. Find the second corner on your left after you exit the passageway. The corner should look like a direct right angle on the map. To make sure you have the right corner, look on the map and imagine it as an arrow. The arrow should be facing north-west. If your there, jump and press forward against it. Eventually you'll get the hang of it and keep jumping up until your head reaches the ceiling, or a tad bit close to it. The mage must get there too. Then start a duel with a mage, and run up next to the door and have the mage sheep you. Repeat until you wander under the door and the sheep breaks on the other side.

Alternatively, if you're a mage or a priest, go to the farm in the hills above the Wetland's Farm via the Ironforge Airstrip. Be sure to bring some Light Feathers with you. Find the tunnel that goes nowhere (drops off to nothingness). Face the great forge in Ironforge and use a speed booster (epic mount and sprint were confirmed to work) after using a slow fall spell (mage Slow Fall or priest Levitate) and jump in that direction. After approximately 30 seconds, you will find yourself swimming. Swim up, and have the camera above you at all times so you can see where the top is. The next step is to swim into the tunnel that goes to Old Ironforge, but it takes time and a few tries to figure out how to get into that. Note that, as of the patch 2.0.3, you can no longer do this with Noggenfogger because Noggenfogger's slow fall duration was lowered to 15 seconds. Also note that you can not use a combination of the Noggenfogger Elixir and the Cape of Slowfall in this method, you do not have a long enough period of slowfall time to make

Comment by Kanuuna

Long ago, Ironforge, along with Orgrimmar were the only cities to have an Auction House, therefore being extremely popular among players. These places were both centers of trade for both factions.

At the same time, Ironforge and Orgrimmar were infamous for the lag caused by hundreds of players around the Auction House.

Ironforge was often called Lagforge ( Lagrimmar? I didn't play Horde much back then ).

Then, by the player requests, more Auction Houses were added to avoid the lag and travelling from say Darnassus to Ironforge. Lagforge was no more.

Still, Ironforge along with Orgrimmar seem to be the most popular Auction Houses visited.
Seriously, who goes to Darnassus to visit an Auction House?

Ironforge and the area it reside in, has some of the funniest and pretty easy exploit to do.

The Old Ironforge which is now closed off but still accessable from glitching from mage sheep.

The Gnome airport which is also accessable but takes awhile but pretty easy, to long to explain.

Ironforge has that warm feeling to it and also is currently the only alliance capital that your able to duel while inside the city.

Blizzard took out dueling in capitals long ago so you had to leave the city in order to duel.

This stop people who used dueling to glitch or lag.

But in Ironforge your still able to duel.

Most common place to duel is in front of the bank across from the AH for players that are in ironforge.

as of patch 3.0.2 u cannot duel behind the pole in front of the bank

As of Wrath of the Lich King, nothing has been changed to the Old Ironforge below Ironforge. Though if you want to find some secret jumps and interesting places to explore that Blizzard forbids, try the new Stormwind Harbor.

just get feared from an ally priest and jumped to old ironforge during a raid :)

Comment by 77947

So I was reading up on catching Old Ironjaw and there was an eye catching post about the possibility of fishing from within the lava! It turned out to be much more boring then it seemed at first glance, something about standing on an invisible ledge. But it got me thinking. What would it take to survive the lava, or even thrive in it. After quickly searching the AH for any Fire resist armor or consumables, I managed to get to 294 Fire Resistance on my 72 pally. Excited to go lava swimming, I jumped sped over to the pool, but to my dismay found that my fire resistance, which the tooltip called "Very Good", only mitigated about a third of the damage, which still left more then enough dps to cut my swim very short, forcing me to bubble-hearth out after only a few minutes. Any more research into this fascinating field could prove to be immensly rewarding.

Is the screenshot 13 "The Old Ironforge"? Also there is a 5th achievement someone can get for Ironforge, the url=https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/achievement=1837

Comment by rockrat2459

This is the city of the dwarf king needed for the " for the the horde" achievement. here is a map to his location if you dont know where to find him https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/maps=1537 major coords are 48.9, 48.1 which is his thrown room there are a total of 8 lev 75 guards 2 outside the door and 6 in the room around the edge of the roundish room. there are 2 lev 50 npc's on the platform with the king .and a lev 60 npc standing right inside the door. There 2 paths to the king one is from the front door to ironforge. this riskier of the 2 as it take you near the bank and AH. Where 90% of all ally players will be hanging out if they are in town. If you do choose this path I suggest going to the left comming out out the front door at coords 21.1, 60.5 and going down to the fountain at coords 30.3, 17.4 then turning right going on to the thrown room at coords 48.9, 48.1.. if your lucky you wont get spotted by the alliance players and the wandering mobs are few. the 2nd path is from the deep run tram coords 81.7, 51.8 this is the easier of the 2 from the attacking ironforge point of view. but requires you to go to stormwind 1st and get on the tram. doing this you might have alliance players waiting for you. The key if you take the tram is having your whole group get there at once and not waiting to enter the city proper. dont give the alliance players time to build a huge raid group to stop you. once you enter the city from the tram go RIGHT to coords 63.7 24.4 then turn left down the center of the great forge. there are 8 npcs here in the middle area ranging in lev from 30 to 60 . go past them right into the thrown room .

There are no druid trainers here.

If you are a druid attempting to level nearby (or in Howling Fjord), you need to fly to Stormwind.

Random: Ironforge is shaped like a cog.

Comment by Ketho

Ironforge Guard: What do ye need directions to?

Auction House

Where is the Auction House? Why it's right by the gates of Ironforge as you enter our fine city. Ye'll find it just across from The Vault.

Bank of Ironforge

The bank? Oh, ye mean The Vault! No safer place to store yer valuables than The Vault. Ye'll find it just northeast of the entrance to Ironforge.
Do ye have some new treasures that ye want to keep safe n' sound? Then ye'll be wanting to store them at The Vault with the Stonemantles. Ye'll find The Vault just a hammer's throw northeast from the entrance to Ironforge.

Deeprun Tram

Aye, everyone wants to ride the tram, it's a real hoot and a half. Well, if ye want to find the tram, it's located over in Tinker Town just east of the gates of Ironforge.
Oh, the tram, the tram... everyone wants to ride the tram. What happened to the good ol' days of flying on the back of a gryphon, gripping the saddle for dear life as you flew up high in the sky above? Bah! You go take the tram then... it's over in Tinker Town with the rest of the gnomish contraptions.

Gryphon Master

Looking to take a ride on a gryphon, now are ye? Gryth Thurden is the one ye'll want to be seeing about that. Ye can find him on the eastern side of The Great Forge in the middle of Ironforge.
Ah, nothing quite like a ride on a gryphon, is there? The night elves can keep those hippo's of theirs, just give me a gryphon and the wind in me hair! Well now, I won't keep ye any longer, just head over to Gryth Thurden on the east side of The Great Forge and he'll get ye on yer way.

Guild Master

If yer thinking about forming a guild, then ye'll need to put it past Jondor Steelbrow o'er in the Ironforge Visitor's Center. Just head southeast from the gates of Ironforge to see him.
Well now, ye'll need papers to form a guild, and Jondor Steelbrow can help you get started with the process. He can be found over at the Ironforge Visitor's Center when yer ready to get started.

The Inn

The Inn? Ah, ye looking to toss back some of the best ales Ironforge has to offer? The Stonefire Tavern is where ye'll want to go. Ye'll find it just to the left of the entrance to Ironforge if ye be coming, or to the right if ye be going.
If yer of need of an Inn, The Stonefire Inn is where ye should be. Ye'll find it just to the left of the entrance to Ironforge if ye be coming, or to the right if ye be going. Oh, and if yer going that way, then tell them to have a tankard ready for me.

Mailbox

You can find a mailbox right o'er by The Stonefire Tavern. It's just north of the gates of Ironforge.
Bah! Mailboxes... all I get is junk mail lately! Increase the size of this... decrease the size of that... act now for your free Sword of Dragonslaying. I have to change my mailbox number every other month! Well, ye can't say I didn't warn ye. If you're looking for the mailbox it's just outside the Stonefire Tavern.

Stable Master

Over in the Hall of Arms you can find our resident stable master, Ulbrek Firehand. He'll make sure any pets ye have are well fed and rightly cared for.
Taking care of animals is something that Ulbrek Firehand takes quite seriously. He usually hangs out with the hunters at the Hall of Arms if ye want him to look after a pet or two.

Yer looking to learn how to use a new weapon are ye? Well, ye should be talking to Bixi or Buliwyf over at the Timberline Arms weapon shop then lad/lass. They know their weapons from axes to... uh... zwei handers.

Barber

Class Trainer
Which class trainer might ye be looking for?

Hunter

I overheard Regnus Thundergranite in the Hall of Arms bragging about a new trophy for his den the other day. If yer looking for training from a skilled hunter, Regnus is the one to see.
Do ye have the potential to be a skilled hunter? Well laddie/lassie, only time will tell. Just don't ye go shooting at apples atop peoples' heads till ye've spoken with Regnus o'er in the Hall of Arms.

Mage

Well ye'd be sure to find some training in the magical arts over in the Hall of Mysteries, north of the gates of Ironforge. Juli Stormkettle can always be found there with her nose in a book.
That wee wizardly lass, Bink, over in the Hall of Mysteries would probably be able to help ye out with any magical needs you have. The Hall of Mysteries is just north of the gates of Ironforge.

Paladin

Brandur Ironhammer would be the one ye'd want to see. Ye can find him in the Hall of Mysteries north of the gates of Ironforge.
Ah, good ol' Brandur Ironhammer. There's no doubt he'll provide ye with the guidance ye seek, lad/lass. Ye'll find him in the Hall of Mysteries north of the gates of Ironforge.

Priest

Ah, Braenna Flintcrag. She has magic hands, that one. Braenna is the one to see about Priestly matters. Ye'll want to travel north from the gates of Ironforge to the Hall of Mysteries. That's where ye'll find her.
Ah, nothing better than a priest to cure what ails ye. Of course a nice tall pint cures a lot of what ails ye too, but I don't think Braenna Flintcrag teaches brewing. I guess ye'll have to settle for some priest training over in the Hall of Mysteries instead.

Rogue

Now why would ye be needing the services of one of those types? We get enough trouble out of that rogue, Hulfdan Blackbeard, over in The Forlorn Cavern, do I need to be turning my eye to you as well?
All the roguish types hang out in The Forlorn Cavern, north of the gates of Ironforge. I'd wager ye'll find Fenthwick there, no doubt counting the coin of another cut purse. I'll catch him one of these days! In the meantime I'll have my eye on you as well, lad/lass.

Warlock

Where better to look for a dark and brooding lot, than the dark section of Ironforge, aptly named The Forlorn Cavern. Thistleheart is sure to be found there, likely summoning some manner of vile creature to do his bidding.
A warlock, eh... Well, if you've got a mind to be doing that sort of thing around here then ye best keep yer demons on a leash boyo/girlie. I don't like demons, but I love putting mah axe to them. Ye get me? Now you just leave me be and go get lost in The Forlorn Cavern. That's where you'll find that warlock, Thistleheart.

Warrior

Och! Ye seek training in the way of the warrior, do ye? Kelstrum Stonebreaker will put ye through yer paces! Just march yerself over to the Hall of Arms east of the gates of Ironforge.
Kelstrum is a loudmouth and a braggart... and if that weren't enough he's also one of the most skilled warriors ye'll ever meet! I tell ye, if ye're looking to be trained in the ways of a warrior, that's who ye should be talking to. I'm sure he can be found over in the Hall of Arms east of the Gates of Ironforge.

Shaman

Well now, you can find Farseer Javad in the area of The Great Forge, just a bit to the North on the East side.

Comment by Ketho

Profession Trainer
Which profession trainer would ye be looking for?

Alchemy

Blacksmithing

Ye've come to the right place lad/lass! People come here from all o'er the world to train to be a blacksmith. Ye'll find Bengus Deepforge hammering away at an anvil in the middle of our fine city by The Great Forge itself.
Are ye really askin' me where the Blacksmith is? Have ye not heard of The Great Forge! All our best blacksmiths gather there to craft their weapons and armor! It's dead smack in the middle of Ironforge, and that's where you'll find one of our most brilliant blacksmiths, Bengus Deepforge.

Cooking

A Cooking trainer is it? Well then, get yerself over to the Bronze Kettle on the northeastern side of The Great Forge. Daryl Riknussun will teach ye to make a mighty fine dish that's sure to put the life back in ye!
Och! That Daryl Riknussun is a brilliant cook! He makes a chilli so hot ye could temper steel with it! I don't think he'll teach ye the recipe, but he'll certainly help ye to become a good cook. Ye'll find him at the Bronze Kettle o'er on the northeastern side of The Great Forge.

Enchanting

Ah, I believe Gimble Thistlefuzz is who ye'll be needing if yer looking to learn the Enchanter's profession. Ye'll find Gimble in his shop, Thistlefuzz Arcanery, right by the Gryphon Master at The Great Forge.
Och! Ye should be careful what ye get enchanted lad/lass. I had me mug enchanted so it wouldn't spill a drop, but now I can't drink from it! Such a tragedy. You be sure to heed me advice when ye see Gimble. He'll be in his shop right by the Gryphon Master at The Great Forge.

Engineering

The tinkerer's craft for you is it? No doubt ye'll want to go see Springspindle Fizzlegear in Tinker Town. Just head east from the gates of Ironforge, or follow the sound of the explosions.
Oh, you're looking for Springspindle Fizzlegear then. Why that little gnome and his gadgets... Let me tell you, if you're going to his shop in Tinker Town, keep your hands to yourself and don't pet any of his mechanical sheep! Exploding sheep... now why would you even make such a thing!

First Aid

A valuable skill First Aid is. Our resident trainer, Nissa Firestone, can show ye how it's done. Look for her on the southern side of The Great Forge at the Ironforge Physician.
First Aid? Well ye don't look hurt to me. If yer really interested in learning First Aid, then Nissa Firestone is the one to learn from. Go see her over by The Great Forge in her shop, The Ironforge Physician.

Fishing

Grimnur Stonebrand will tell ye some whoppers about the one that got away, but he's still one o' the best fishermen around. He's got a shop set up in The Forlorn Cavern called the Traveling Fisherman.
I once heard ol' Grimnur say he fished up a sword. Or was it a swordfish? Damn that Grimnur, he's told so many fish tales I can't remember which is which. Well, why don't you go see him over in The Forlorn Cavern and have him tell you what it was.

Herbalism

Flowers and seeds and such? That would be Reyna Stonebranch's area of expertise. Ye can find her tending to her plants over at the Ironforge Physician on the southern side of The Great Forge.
Oh, ye want to learn to pick some daisies do ye? Ha! I'm just teasing ye laddie/lass. A fine profession it is, and Reyna Stonebranch can show ye how it's done. She works at the Ironforge Physician on the southern side of The Great Forge.

Inscription

Elise Brightletter is near the Great Forge adjacent to the Flight Master.

Leatherworking

Fimble Finespindle has a shop set up on the northwest side of The Great Forge. I wager he could show ye how to make some fine armor.
Sure ye don't want to be a Blacksmith? Well, if yer heart is set on Leatherworking, then you best talk to Fimble Finespindle over at his shop on the northwest side of The Great Forge.

Mining

Well well! You've come to the right place to learn Mining, boyo/girlie! Geofram Bouldertoe himself resides at the Deepmountain Mining Guild. Ye couldn't ask for a better instructor than him.
Do we have Mining trainers here? Where do ye think ye are! Why you'll find one o' the best miners in all Dun Morogh at the Deepmountain Mining Guild on the northern side of The Great Forge. There, Geofram Bouldertoe will show ye the true art of mining.

Skinning

Balthus Stoneflayer is the one to see about Skinning. If it can be skinned, he can teach ye how. Just walk yerself over to Finespindle's Leather Goods on the northern side of The Great Forge.
Skinning? The only thing ye look like ye could skin is yer own knee! Ha! Now why don't you go see Balthus Stoneflayer so he can teach you how to properly skin some animals. You'll find him in Finespindle's Leather Goods on the northern side of The Great Forge.

Tailoring

That Jormund Stonebrow has a knack for the needle, he does. Should you be needing some training, then you'll find him at Stonebrow's Clothier on the northern side of The Great Forge.
Ye might not know it, but in addition to being a skilled tailor, Jormund is also a slayer of giants! Why he must have overheard a few of us sharing stories when he shouted that he'd killed seven with one blow! Ye should pay him a visit at his store on the north side of The Great Forge an' see if he'll tell ye the tale!

"Those enterances are to Old Ironforge and are blocked with "ice"

Actually it doesn't lead anywhere but to a long drop where you can see underneath the world.

For a while mages could blink past the ice, by getting up close to while in first person view, until it disappeared from view.

Its quite similar to the entrance near the Menethil cliff farmlands (another interesting but useless place to explore).

Comment by Thottbot

There are actually two ways to get into Old Ironforge. The first way is to make your way to the Ironforge Airport, which in my opinion is extremely easy. Go right of the graveyard at the entrance of IF, and position your character horizontally toward the upper trees, make your character walk and press Num Lock while positioning your character across the side of the mountain. In a few seconds you'll be climbing the entire mountain with great ease.

Getting into old IF is tricky. The first way can lead to two places. Old IF or inside the water with Nessy, in the Deep Run Tram. Go to the Airstrip and go to the house on your right as you come from the gryphons. Remember to have a Mage with you. Get the mage to sheep you as you run against the ice blocking the way. When you turn into a sheep you'll be inside the hallway. Walk up and you'll see an enormous drop. Walk along the side of the wall, and come out of the door, and continue to walk along side of the door/drop. When you get to the side use a Noggenflogger potion purchased in Gadgetzan. When you get the float Nogg, jump and eventually you'll pop into a hall into Old IF. If you don't, you'll either end up dead like I did the first few tries, or you'll end up behind the glass in the water in the Deep Run Tram.

The second way is to go behind the Mailbox near the Bank in Ironforge. Get up on the base of the pillar and stand behind the pillar with your Mage buddy. He must be level 40 for this to work, as well as yourself being level 40. Start a duel behind the pole and then head for the Right Hallway that leads to the Great forge. When you get half way up the hall hop on both your mounts and continue into the room where the King of Ironforge resides. At the entrance there is what looks like a locked vault to your left as you enter. Run against that and get your friend to sheep you. You must be quick for when you leave the Hallway to the great forge you get a timer of 10 seconds so be quick getting into the Kings room. I almost got there walking until I remember I could use my mount to get there faster, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I think I just solved everyone's problems. The second way is probably going to be the only way into Old Ironforge after the 1.9 patch.

There is actually a third way of getting into Old IF. I haven't tested it fully yet, but I believe it works. Go into the room with the King of the Gnomes, get up on the ledge behind him. There's a few ways, you'll figure it out. Wall walk your way along the side of that huge black sphere, and continue your way to the top of it. Once to the top either unstuck, be sheeped, or teleport and you'll appear on top of one of buildings in the Great Forge. Continue to walk and eventually you'll figure a way to get into Old IF. This hasn't been tested but I've seen a video of it.

Hope this helps.

Who knows what the sound of the horn in IF means?

Comment by Thottbot

I am currently working on a few exploits. Those being the following: Getting into the Emerald Dream, Getting into Hyjal in 1.9, Getting into Karazhan, The Azshara Battleground, and many more.

I've never been able to not figure out an exploit. Dopefish, and the Nogg-aholic team has inspired me greatly, so all credit goes to them for discovering these neat tricks. 1.9 may have forbidden us from exploring Azeroth, but don't worry, there are still ways to do this. I guarentee there are. I may post how to do these things in the future, but please do not spread these exploits, for we do not want them patched as well.

In the meantime, if you're bored. Head to the Deadmines instance portal as a Mage, and teleport. You'll pop into a twisted place that resembles Dalaran, and the Outlands. Have fun with this.

Comment by Thottbot

To get to Old Ironforge - or as some think - part of the expansion and so this will be where you Time Travel...

Just go to the hallway to the forge that is on the right side of the bank as you face the AH. Jump on the ledge on the left side as you face the forge. Do this in the section before the first light on the wall. Then autorun into the wall and using your right mouse button, turn every so slightly to make your char move either left or right. Keep moving in that motion and you will eventually melt thru the wall and it drops you into Old IF - Be careful tho, you may end up in the lava or land on a rock and die. Soulstone FTW. And you can summon people in.

Just be careful tho, you can get banned for bugs/exploits.

Comment by Thottbot

it worked! i did the teqneice-sp-where you jump from that tunnel and end up swimming. sure it took 4 trys but it was worth it. i made a video of it, so now im gonna take a few guildies there and summon some people. TY!

Comment by Thottbot

Now for this way it will be your pet getting in, not you. This will work very well with Improved Eyes of the Beast. Now, in the King's Throne room, or whatever you'd like to call it, stand at the enterance, and to each side of you should be two doors that look like locked safes (but are really doors). You can go to either one of them, and this is what you do:

First, summon your pet, stand against the door and start running into it, keep running (try running and stopping over and over again if it doesn't work) until you see your pet dissapear through the door. Now step back, oh so slighty, so your pet is still through the door but you can see them a tiny bit. Now activate Eyes of the Beast spell and your pet is in Old Ironforge (East or West depending on which door you went through)!

I just tried this method myself and as of February 2007, you are still able to access IF airport via this route. This was a very simple video to follow. The title of the video is, "From Thelsamar to IF Airport," in case the link above does not work. :)

Wow im a mage and i randomly blinked thru that invisble wall thingy, no lie. I stood back (had a ice barrier on) and blinked thru. I was surprised.

Comment by Thottbot

As for this whole OLD Ironforge. There is an underground IF under IF. It was created and closed during beta testing. There are still some videos of it out there in on the net. And it still there in the game. Just not able to be reached by normal non-GM means.

One of several sites to prove my point.

http://www.lostwow.com/OldIronforge.shtml

This video shows you want OLD IF is really looks like.

http://www.crusaders-of-madmaniakid.com/oldironforge.htm

The most common Video people see is a trick/exploit to get to the underground tunnels which lead to Old IF. But it is basically a stair case / hall way / rock path that leads to two doors. Behind the doors is Old IF. ( As for the blocked door way by the IF airport, only GMs know where that leads, the internet has not giving any clues yet.)

The basic conclusion is if they made it, and spent the time they have on it. Which if you watch the videos it is like another IF but just under IF. Why would they not just use it or delete it to stop rumors.

Answer ~ Left open for possible future expansion but programers did think it would take 3+ years, or part of core programing and can't be deleted.

But I know we all wish it was left for future game content.

I will try and find the video that has beta clips in it.

The way in from the Airstrip: Got to the Pearl-White wall in the tunnel; the bottom-left corner on the tunnel needs 2things: Nogonfogger exile; shrink kind, and blink.

1) drink the Nogonfogger.
2) run as far as you can into corner.
3) if your a gnome Mage you can SOMETIMES just walk through.
4) if not, blink.
5) you'll reach a point were your about half-half in and out of the floor (well in tunnel)if you turn the camera around you can see endless white (same thing as the Blue squares under SW) blip once you do that and you'll fall.
6) un-Noggonfogger yourself (right click the square by your mini map)
7) blink 1more time.
8) you have to blink toward the tunnel wall.
9) jump up.
10) make an allia toon on REALM: Moonrunner
11) mail Sludge a few gold.... ☼_☼ «_»

NOTE: ONLY MAGI CAN GET IN THIS WAY!

Good luck. if you fall you'll fall till you reach water (river, lake or ocean) then you hearth and try again.

Getting to the Airstrip: Paying Sludge 1g to show you...

where is the best place to get rep with IF at 20-30

Comment by Thottbot

i hear there are sewers of ironforge to like a special place is that true?

Comment by Allakhazam

Bathed in a refreshing blue light, this area of Ironforge caters to the magically-oriented members of our society. You can find shops selling robes, wands, and staves, as well as one selling useful reagents.

Within the large cathedral are Priest, Mage, and Paladin trainers, plus the chance of encountering a new quest or two.

Comment by Allakhazam

Is there any way to ride the air planes within the hall of arms?

Comment by Allakhazam

The Military Ward of Ironforge is a one-size-fits-all shopping center for those in the business of beating the tar out of things, whether with swords, axes, maces, or clubs, or if the tar-beating occurs from a distance with the help of bows and guns.

There's a extensive armor store, as well as a melee weapon shop. For those into ranged weaponry, there's a shop for that too, providing bows, guns, and their respective ammunition. There's a rough little tavern if you prefer to pick out weaponry while drunk.

The Hall of Arms, apart from being filled with impressive tank-like vehicles, has Warrior and Hunter trainers ready to impart skills upon their pupils, and NPCs that handle the various Battlegrounds are located here, too. Some quests pop up from time to time here, so remember to scoop those up if you're an avid quester.

Comment by Allakhazam

The Hall of Explorers is home to the Ironforge Library, though it's more like a museum. There are plenty of things to check out, especially the various artifacts and skeletons that come with their own information plates, which you should read. The actual library section is halfway down the hall, and has quite a few books concerning Azeroth and Ironforge history, so if you enjoy reading WoW's lore, pull up a chair.

Comment by Allakhazam

how well secured is the great forge bank?

Comment by Allakhazam

I can't find any skinning trainer in Ironforge. I asked the guard, got the flag on the map, and went to the spot, and there is no one there. I know I got to the right place, because the marker went away when I got there.

Anyone else have this happen?

Comment by Allakhazam

The colossal forge in the center of the City of Ironforge. At the very center is a platform run by Blacksmith trainers, and the many buildings surrounding the forge are home to various trainers that teach Herbalism, First Aid, Enchanting, Cooking, Mining, Tailoring, Leatherworking, and Skinning. There is also a "Trade Supplier" vendor which has a selection of wares useful to many professions all gathered up into one place, so look for him.

Comment by Allakhazam

where are any skinning knifes near iron forge and kharanos

Comment by Allakhazam

This dank cavern at the very back of the City of Ironforge is the refuge of those exiled from the old Gnome capitol of Gnomeregan. Although there's a rather legit Fishing trainer and supplier store here, the rest of the businesses here are as shady as the cavern they operate in. You have your Rogue and Warlock trainers here, as well as a few shady dealers and a Demon trainer. There's also a blade store and a couple of quests to look into.

Comment by Allakhazam

Thanks for the info. That is really helpful.

Comment by Allakhazam

Tinker Town, located in Ironforge, is the city's haven for the Gnomes. While you can find stores for fireworks, Alchemy training and supplies, and Engineering needs, the main attraction is the Deeprun Tram which serves as a subway service between the City of Ironforge, home of the Dwarves and Gnomes, to the City of Stormwind, home of the Human race.

Comment by Allakhazam

Accessible from the Great Forge at the very center of the city, the High Seat of Ironforge is where you'll find important NPCs for high-level questing. Aside from that, though, there's not much else to see. Though I wasn't around at the time, there was once an access point to the now-sealed/deleted Old Ironforge area here. Allakhazam still has the area's page open, so inquire there if you're interested.

Comment by Allakhazam

Comment by Allakhazam

it would seem as though old IF has been closed in a recent patch.
sadly...

I have wandered around there, and it looks amazing..maybe that is where is where the route up to the airport is?
maybe it will be used as an insance later on?
maybe Blizz left it there for people to find...who knows.

Comment by Allakhazam

Even with the new patch, there's still a way to get there. It takes some effort, but I go there all the time.
