by adding this to a number on your task bar, you can simply press that number and then click somewhere

but whats more is that you can then use far sight from far sight by doing this again!

Far sight is one of the "Fun" spells avalable to the shaman, but it can also be used in a professional way in Battlegrounds by "sight hopping", by using this technique you can stand on the horde graveyard in WSG and move your sight around the alliance base till you can find your flag without endangering you or alerting the alliance to you finding the flag, you can then group up and rush the flad, also in AB, you can, before the match, size up the opposition by looking at their gear ect. In AV you can zap your sight through the battle to see where the Alliance are and whether or not there is a GY unguarded. Far sight is fun indeed.

Unlike the Hunter's Eagle Eye ability, Far Sight actually allows you to "chain" the spell together, so that you can cast it even while it's already in effect. For example, while standing at the entrance of Stromgarde in Arathi Highlands, I used Far Sight a few times until I was able to see directly into Refuge Pointe! Great for when you're looking for a particular mob, as I was doing.

Having just hit 26 I decided to do this while standing on the docks in Menethil. I was able to chain my sight all the way to Refuge Point in Arathi Highlands, an entire zone away. Could be very useful.

An important note is that you can rotate your sight, but you cannot chain while you're doing that. You see the cast bar at the same time the AoE circle pops up.

This spell is a MUST for those photographers of World of Warcraft, I have discovered that this spell can be very useful for those who have interest in taking a caption of the amazing scenery that can find around the game. Using this spell allows (as stated above) zoom into places that you wouldn't be able to reach.

Example - high up in the mountains so you can have an overview of the landscape (some zones just have amazing landscapes).

Kommentar von 84594

And beyond it's "sight" ability it holds a far more imporant roll in WoW, one that I'm sure anyone who's used this knows.

Oh yeah,

Disco Lights! Throw this somewere and people will flok to it and /dance as if unable to control themselves.

Kommentar von DELPylon

This spell has been disallowed in the arenas, presumably due to people using it to navigate around the opening gate and spy on the enemy team before the the fight had begun. However, one might think that they could have sealed off the gates better rather than forbid the spell entirely, since Mind Vision is still allowed...oh well.

Kommentar von Sieben

Another thing to take note of, It can be used from the minimap; and yet again "spell-chained" from there onwards also.

Even though the spell says 50,000 yards, spell-chaining Far Sight will eventually return to your character after a certain distance which is quite upsetting, even so it can be used to check out Blizzards horrible textures on top of those inaccessable areas and cliffs.

Kommentar von grassynole

In AV and AB battlegrounds u could cast this ontop of a resource post and because the animation for it is the same as when somone is capturing a post , u can laugh your head off as you watch the other faction AOE'ing around it thinking some rogue is capturing whilst in stealth :)

unfortunately blizz have changed far sight so u dont get the swirl of light animation constantly whilst casting. Therefore this fun effect dosnt work no more :( i miss the old far sight.

Kommentar von patrikman

Is more for fun, but still it is very useable in BGs-In AB you can check your and enemies´ bases very quickly and without risking your life. Then you can give orders to the others and the battle is easier.

from coords 74,37 in redridge mountains.....i used this for the first time and on a fluke foud out i could chain cast. so i went to burnning stepps. through BRM, through searing gorge. into DM, into IF....and then into OLD IF!

just go to the kings room, and facing outside him room use far sight on the right door. might take a few tries, but i got it on my first. took like 12 casts to get down the windy stairs though. but it was awsome.

Kommentar von naiohme

I was talking to a GM today about how the spell randomly cancels while chain casting it. I was told that the intended design of the spell was not to be used in that manner, and therefore is considered a bug. By chain-casting this spell it is considered exploiting a bug and I guess is theoretically bannable, but the GM I was talking to had no issues with me exploiting the bug since it isn't game-breaking. The conversation with the GM started because of my character violating the name policy (Salty Seamen). Apparently Seamen is a homonym for male reproductive fluid, but alas after much reasoning with him (explaining how my name referred to a commercial fishing boat from Alaska, and not male reproductive fluid) I was forced to change my name =(

I hope this helps explain some things, sorry about side tracking.

Kommentar von Teradon

I wish this would be able to actually 'locate' locations.
Exploring achievements would be a piece of cake then! :D

Kommentar von 171369

Haha this spell is awesome!

I quite recently got this spell on my Shaman and had to test it out. Apparently, chain-casting this is now even MORE awesome than ever when it has unlimited range!
Standing in Thunder Bluff, I chain casted all the way to the beginner zone for nelves (Aldrassil). The hardest part of getting so far away was "climbing the mountain walls" on the nelf island.

Man... this is one of the coolest spells in the game! IMO, it's only beaten by Levitate and Slow Fall!

Kommentar von 287609

Occasionally i will find a spot to stand so that when i use Far Sight it instantly fades. Bug?

Kommentar von Eladria

I didn't realize other players could see this spell's effect until I started putzing around in Duskwood with my Troll shaman today. I was testing the outer boundary of chaincasting when I decided to take a peek inside the Darkshire tavern from the nearby hillside.

I ended up spending the next fifteen minutes watching a pair of hunters chase the glowing light around the town. I'm still giggling. Next stop, Goldshire!

Kommentar von 76098

After playing around with far sight I noticed that you can actually use your tracker whilst using the spell. I found a few nodes while sitting safely inside of a hut in the Shimmering flats.

Like others have said, it can be chained. If you stand on the zeppelin tower in Org, or anywhere else for that matter, you can chain it across the water east of Durotar. Since you technically arent there, theres no fatigue, and you can go all the way up to the edge of the world, look over, and see that there rlly isnt any ocean! :O Great spell.

Kommentar von 201933

Theoretically, you could find GM Island with this. You'd need a Greater Blessing of Wisdom to keep from going OOM, but it could work.

Kommentar von aeonus

Far Sight can also be used to see phased areas that you have already completed, such as if you have the wrathgate finished and stand outside the wrath gate area, you can far sight in and all the orginal NPCs are there.

Kommentar von 231639

If i dont remember right GM Island is now instanced. It means that you cant walk to it from Kalimdor or Eastern Kingdoms (or anywhere else) but you simply have to teleport into it.

Kommentar von MiltyKiss

I don't know if this is a 3.1 change or what, but now when I use it to explore areas where fatigue would kick in, the spell cancels itself and will either go back to the previous Far Sight-ed area (if possible).

Kommentar von cechjakpoleno

Just found out it can be used for http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=1206 and http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=2557 withouh need to travel anywhere :) just find where creature live, chain-far-sight there, and love it :)

Kommentar von ivod2e

Helpful for people who want to look for herbs, minerals, chests in distant places, because of monsters. Mini map also changes it's position and you can look for herbs and minerals there, too.

Kommentar von 476166

I love this when defending Camp Frostwolf as Alliance in AV. Chain cast this to the entrance of the camp, and get your "inc Frostwolf, 2 rogues" comment ready.

Kommentar von rokman500

Minor Glyph of Far Sight
Far Sight is now instant cast and costs 0 mana.

Please?

Kommentar von kthirhis

The spell eventually auto-cancels because it has diminishing returns. I noticed that my channel time got slightly shorter with each chain cast. Like all spells with diminishing returns, eventually you get a return of 0.

Kommentar von 493392

The bug looks fixed to me. I was in hyjal from silithus today.

Kommentar von 139445

This can be cast on vehicles such as boats and zepplins and the effect will travel with it. Unfortunely it will break if it zones out. Sad. =[

Kommentar von 340122

Especially useful when rumors say there's an alliance raid heading towards Orgrimmar.

Kommentar von Ketho

After a certain, far away range, you can't anymore see NPCs or objects ...

Kommentar von Mada

Cataclysm locations without ban.

Kommentar von xalis007

when i use far sight to look far away places it shows the place for 1 sec and then it shows again my shaman so i can't look places far away from me plz help me

Kommentar von TheHandOfSeth

Ok, so after some preliminary testing, I would say the issue that causes far sight to randomly cancel casting occurs when you attempt to view an area that is several hundred meters above or below the x-axis, relative to your character. In other words, if you are at ground level and click the top of a mountain or the bottom of a huge gorge, chances are the spell will cancel before the characters in the viewing area even appear. It will also cancel before another 'jump' can be made.

For example, if you are attempting to peek into Orgrimmar as an Alliance shaman, casting the spell from any of the tall hills surrounding Org will not work. However, if you hide yourself in the cracks of the hills that are almost level with the canyon rim, you can view pretty much any area you want for the full spell duration. Remember that you need not have line-of-sight with any place you want to view, just hide yourself somewhere safe (but outside) and 'move' the spell around one jump at a time. As it's kind of outside the box, most people seem to have a hard time grasping all that this spell is capable of. I used it just last night to help find an Orc female in Orgrimmar to finish Von Hasen und Häschen on my Draenei ; )

I will do some testing later to see if this bug also applies to distance as well as elevation. I know it's one of my favorite spells too, and at some point, something they changed screwed it up and it might have happened in 4.03. Comments prior to 4.03 don't seem to reflect this issue, e.g.

I just watched lvl 7 spiders crawl around Teldrassil from Orgrimmar..

circa 4.01.

Kommentar von TheMo1

For those who are wondering, the reason Far Sight seemingly breaks randomly is because you are breaking line of sight from one point to another (though fatigue zones might break it too, not sure about that).

A way to visualise this is to imagine an invisible person inside your swirly. Just because your camera can see the next spot you want to chain cast to, doesn't mean the person in the swirly can. This can be a problem if you are trying to get over hills or mountains using it, but if you take many casts and are smart about it, you avoid the random drop outs and go anywhere.

Fun tip: Think chain Far Sighting is dead in Cata? Try it in Tol Barad. There are some really funky looking islands to the south that you can't get to normally.

Kommentar von 865554

It says Unlimited Range but it cancels out after a certain range which is another Blizz fail...

Kommentar von Peregrine2976

I can confirm that this spell does not randomly cancel. It cancels when you try to look into specific areas. For example, when I am outside Orgrimmar - even just outside by a few yards - and I try to use Far Sight to look into the city, it immediately cancels. I tried it around fifty times and every time, without fail, it cancelled when I tried to use it to look into any area in Orgrimmar. Likewise, from just outside Orgrimmar, I can look anywhere in Azshara, but once I go into Hyjal, it cancels. Every time.

Kommentar von Kannon

So, after messing around with it for a good long time, it seems now that it cancels whenever you try to move the location into another zone.

Which makes me sad, seeing as on 3.2, when I got the spell for the first time, I chained it from Light's Hope, all the way down to Booty Bay. (I was really bored waiting for a raid to start, it took about 25 minutes to get through some really dense areas.)

Either way, you can still chain it, I kept the same cast going about 45 minutes bouncing around Tirisfal Glades. You can also throw it into small buildings, which is occasionally useful.

Kommentar von Balkzardan

I can confirm that using Fernsicht will trigger _NPCScan alert while chain casting around a region.
Was doing this to find Zeitverlorener Protodrache in Die Sturmgipfel and the addon was triggered by Dirkee.

Another interesting fact, when was chain casting Far sight around Die Sturmgipfel, Vyragosa was flying near my char while i was looking at my Far Sight screen to chose the next place to cast it. _NPCScan olny was triggered by Vyragosa when i cast the spell again to the next area. So I concluded that Far Sight steal all the focus from the char, and the char only recover the focus at that small milliseconds between the casts (or of course when you aren't casting Far Sigh).

Kommentar von I3rawler

Wish it'd still have the same sound effect that this ability had in WC3 :( (or at least possible to get it some way, like glyph)

Kommentar von wings490

Well this is one of the fun spells but can some of you send me a list over ALL the fun spells in WoW?

Kommentar von Lavindar

I think that Blizzard changed something to prevent us from chain casting Far Sight, as the max I could was 3 times if close to the char, if I try to cast a second time far from the character it always fail, at first I thought that could be a side effect from the glyph but after some tests it appear to not be because of the glyph

I will test with hunter`s Eagle Eye to see if its happening too.

Edit: After some more tests, Its not impossible to chain cast, I could get from the inn in halfhill all the way to the horde hub for the 5.2 factions, but something changed that makes a loading screen each time you cast, even when casting near the character, and its very unreliable to chain casting. I think that I have to go in person to see what dailies is on Shado-Pan

Kommentar von Hapseleg

"Unlimited range" my ass....

Kommentar von mpwalter

I know I'm still a newbie (really, only discovered this in Fall 2016), but I totally don't understand the value of this skill. So I can target a mob and switch the viewpoint from mine to his, so he's looking at me -- what's the advantage in that?

Kommentar von wowwowy

Very good ability if you want to explore "out of bounds" zone safely. With this ability I was able to see the untextured nax in uninstanced strathholme and many more places.
