A zone that will remind you of the grand canyon. This zone is good for leveling if you are mid-range level and are a member of the horde. This zone also features a race track, where there are actual goblin pod racers. The race track is found on the Shimmering Flats.

Kommentar von 13669

The Shimmering Flats is the ideal place for leveling 30-36, especially for Horde. High concentration of plain mobs and a lot of grinding quests associated with them, in one hub. Very effective. And it gives you something to do after you're done with RFK and before being able to run SM.

Kommentar von 53803

Please tell me why 1k needles is contested and has horde guards at Freewind Brave? Its a bit random if you ask me.
Also, Shimmering Flats is a fantastic place to level.

Kommentar von 22010

When you reach level 29, go to the middle of The Shimmering Flats to the racetown and pick up all five quests.

Rocket Car Parts http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1110
Salt Flat Venom http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1104
Hardened Shells http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1105
Load Lightening http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1176
A Bump In the Road http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1175

Then just start circling the outer perimeter killing everything you see, and picking up car parts along the way. It takes about 2 hours or so (for mage at 32 and priest at 35) to gather up all the quest items. Not bad for a total of 11,300xp and 1g40s.

While you're down there you might as well make your way to the flight path in Tanaris, it's just south of the zone in the goblin town called Gadgetzan.

Have Fun! Kill Kill Kill!!!

Kommentar von Vlad

Note that you got this "special event" quest:
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=10617

You need to kill that npc and get a quest starting item loot. Witch opens a 2 step chain quest with nice rewards at 21,32 ;) good luck!

Assasination quest ^^

Kommentar von 68392

y do they call it thousand needles, i counted about 50 big ones, and theres smaller ones scattered everywhere. so its more like 80-100, no where near 1000 O_o

Kommentar von Alikat

Note the Buckaroo Banzai reference at the south of the Shimmering Flats, right next to the path to Tanaris. The crashed vehicle is on the other side of the mountain.

Kommentar von 121804

Good zone to level in for your late 20 early 30 Horde player, or your early 30 Alliance character at the Shimmering flats. Not really a good zone for Alliance members below 30, as it is mainly a Horde zone. I came here at level 32 with my Paladin, and wasn't able to do all that much before I ran out of quests to do.

Kommentar von Speeddeath

Fun place to level i got from 27-32 here..

BTW, this place, if you look carefully, looks very.. similar

Kommentar von 96000

if you look in the "quarry" in shimmering flats it looks like the statue of the statue of liberty's head.

Kommentar von 97145

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cactuar#Cactuar The origin of the zone's name.

And they didn't accept my cactuar picture for the zone. :(

Kommentar von 66995

Great zone to farm gold (ore), silver, iron, tin and copper.

Kommentar von Thysios

I reccomend going to Thousand Needles, only for the Shimmering Flats quests (lvl 29+), because the quests in Thousand Needles do have a low drop rate for the required items and are annoying because all the mobs are too close to eachother.

Kommentar von Rexz

Home to the hilariously named Windbreaker Canyon.

Kommentar von 219507

I suspest 'Weazel' was a racer that tried to soup up his vehicle, but crashed. The explosion was so huge that it struck water.

(Weazel's crater. Racetrack runs around it.)

Kommentar von Sardoche

How can i get quests for alliance in this zone? Or is there any?
I went down the place called Thalanar and got FP but no questgivers around.

Kommentar von 407465

For any alliance looking for the horde flame for the midsummer fire festival, its slightly to the west of Freewind Post. Can be a little tricky to find.

Kommentar von Shalke

Thousand Needles. reminds on "Devil Town" rock formation witch takes place in Serbia in Eastern Europe.Here you are the link http://www.djavoljavaros.com/about.php Momentarily this nature monument leads in race for new 7 wonders on nature.

Kommentar von 326508

in wow cata 1KN is gonna be flooded... gosh i will miss that place /sadface

Kommentar von 325248

will be redesigned to a 40-45 high level zone in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

Kommentar von 258919

This zone will be flooded in Cataclysm, bumping up the ideal level requirement about ten levels. My own speculation will be that (obviously) the spires will become "islands", while a dam will be placed at either the entrance to Tanaris or to the Shimmering Flats, because Tanaris is obviously going to stay dry.

Kommentar von 440854

Rumor has it there might be a dungeon added the this area, any thoughts on where?

Kommentar von Boneflesh

If this zone becomes flooded in Cataclysm, I suggest it's name being changed to Thousand Noodles.

Kommentar von Pappi

Finally, Murlocs in 1k Needles.. & jellyfish? Cool beans.

The Twilight Hammer look like they've built quite the settlement on the edges of the zone. The new Southsea pirate camp is looking great, probably to replace the flooded one in Tanaris is my guess. The Goblin boat is nice, and from the looks of it, quite roomy and very probably a nice Horde quest hub. The Tauren of Freewind Post are fighting the Grimtotems? Nice :P

Kommentar von 573588

Finally, a place to make some use of Aquatic Form.

Kommentar von 630455

does anyone notice the bridge connecting freewind post to darkcloud pinnacle?

Kommentar von vindurza

i'm gonna miss the old zone anyone else ?

*seems not =(*

Kommentar von Reebs

Can any hunters in the Beta describe the current pet situation in the newly flooded Thousand Needles? I've been trying to see if the rare tan skinned silithid still resides there, although I'd imagine that with the Shimmering Flats being a lake it might encounter some difficulties.
Also, have any of the white wind serpents, purple hyenas, and other assorted fauna managed to survive (albeit at a higher level reflecting their ordeal), or did they not learn to swim quick enough?

Any new interesting arrivals to report as well?

Kommentar von saluce65

Players wanting to quest here need to start with

Horde:Warchief's Command: Thousand Needles! (Orgrimmar or Thunder Bluff)
To the Summit (Ferelas)
To the Summit (Dustwallow Marsh)

Alliance

Hero's Call: Thousand Needles! (Darnassus or Exodar)
To New Thalanaar (Dustwallow Marsh)
To New Thalanaar (Ferelas)

particularly if they wish to get the Speedbarge Diving buff or the River Boat

Kommentar von LuthofDS

Thousand Needles, in cataclysm, has been upgraded to Salad Dressing.

Kommentar von 664920

Anyone know how to get there? There's a bridge in RFK that leads over, but I can't figure out how to get there.

Kommentar von 662168

As of Cataclysm, it seems Freewind Post has turned hostile and I'm currently clueless on where to pick up any quests for the zone questing achievements. Anyone have an idea?

Kommentar von 712876

As of 4.0.3, with the zone flooded, there's more stranglekelp than you'll ever need laying around.

Kommentar von 715675

You can start the quests at the very bottom of the entrance to the Great Lift. There are also more quests at the Speedbarge. I'm currently stuck at 31/60 quests and searching for more.

Kommentar von 15038

Post-Shattering, the quests in here now require you to use boats to get from place to place as a lowbie. Freewind Post has been totally overrun by the Grimtotem and merged with Darkcloud Pinnacle. Survivors have sought refuge by traveling north to Camp Mojache. The few that stayed behind are fighting with all their might to reclaim it.

The race track of the Shimmering Flats is no more. The dead bodies of animals, gnomes, and goblins alike are floating amongst the rubble in the water. Despite the casualties, all is not lost. The shortest tinkerers of Azeroth built a floating sanctuary (complete with a bar!) above their old base. They spend their time collecting their dead and sifting among what's left of the rubble. They do all this while fighting against the evil that has corrupted the land and threatens the harmony of their new home.

Cho'gall's dark forces have also claimed parts of this land. The survivors of the great tide will need your help to bring peace back to Thousand Needles.

Kommentar von Sintes

To begin the quests in Thousand Needles - you will have to go trough Dustwallow Marsh - more precisely trough Mudspocket and get the quest To New Thalanaar which will lead you to Feralas and from there you will get to Thousand Needles and begin the quests.

Kommentar von mommyclz

This zone is so cool now! Its all underwater and you get your own boat to ride around in!

Kommentar von FlyingStratus

Teehee. Just like the Legend of Zelda Wind Waker! Except the boat doesn't talk. :l

Kommentar von Teemu

I cant find a FP for Alliance here... Closest one I guess is Feralas Shadebough, since New Thalanaar does not have one.

Kommentar von todiwan

One of the most pleasant zones to quest in, post-Cataclysm. In my opinion, at least. It's got really good story line and most quests are interesting. Really good XP without much grinding.

Not to mention that vising the ruins of the old towns/locations (like Shimmering Flats and Freewind Post) was really nostalgic.

Kommentar von 685952

I must say, now the Cataclysm's hit... there are one or two euphemism type names "splithoof crag" (camel toe) "Freewind post" (trapped wind) am i the only one that noticed these?

Kommentar von Spoonzilla

This zone changed a lot with Cataclysm. Notable changes include the flooding of the zone from the Great Sea pouring into it and the introduction of what I believe is a players first introduction into underwater questing. Nifty and fun boat is provided partway through the quest chain that stays with you even after you compete the chain =)

Kommentar von 670852

I've seen an item on two different people lately, I can't seem to get the name from either two... but there is some sort of water pack looking thing that goes on your back that you get from a quest from here when you first show up. It has been there since cata's release, it supposedly let's you travel faster and breathe under water? Can anybody name this item?

Kommentar von CircleofHealing

I was pleasantly surprised levelling my mage and coming to this area. Previously it was an area Alliance mid range characters RAN through to avoid getting ganked by Tauren NPC's.

One of the Alliance advantages is that it offers reputation points for Gnomeregan if like me, you're not into wearing tabards and doing dungeons. Go to Mudsprocket get the To New Thalanaar quest and follow the quest chain.

The Speedbarge is the base, with the once rocket racing gnomes and goblins now sharing (and squabbling) aboard the barge. One of the quests even sees you starting a barfight! The Speedbarge is oddly schizophrenic, dodgy goblin coconut huts on the left, geeky looking gnome buildings on the right.

Note: Flying to the Speedbarge does not start any quests if you're higher level.....you just get an invitation to go onto Gadgetzan. You have to start with "The New Dalanaar" quests.

Once you get your list of parts from the Goblin or Gnome head honcho and take it to the 2nd in charge you get a useful and fast underwater breathing setup which is similar to the buff at Vashj'ir. There's a LOT of Stranglekelp, Mitril Ore and Iron under there for you gatherers. If you have flying and the underwater breathing spell, farming is quick and plentiful.

Quests are terrific and humorous, it's well worth taking your lvl 85 back there to have some fun.

Kommentar von tarthur1

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Because of the cata flooding, this area is most completely underwater (as has been stated). As a druid with aquatic form and the glyph to make it at 135% (just under travel form), getting through this place is a breeze. What's more is how littered the area is with mithril, truesilver, iron, and gold. In swim form, I easily grab the following just swimming from one end (near feralis) down to the spoon part (tanaris entrance):

mithril x10
trusilver x1
gold x1
iron x2
(in stacks)

This goes pretty quickly since most mobs are neutral sea turtles or fish; at levels 43+, even the angry mobs can be easily avoided. I've made my pass through the entire zone at least 10 times, and I've gotten attacked a grand total of...1 time. If you have the turtle mount, or if you're a druid and need those metals, this is a great place to get them; I rarely go more than 20 secs without a node popping up on the map, if I even go that long. Plus, because ease of movement here is selective to class/profession, you won't likely see any other players, which means near all of the nodes belong to you >:3. Just thought I'd share since I rather hate farming and having to compete with other farmers and angry mobs.

Kommentar von zandthedruid

I'm also stuck at 31/60. Anyone else, horde side stuck in there?

Kommentar von amphyx

Another way to start the quests is from quest giver in Feralas (New Thaalanar?) on the dock. Take the quest "Two if By Boat" to get to Fizzle and Possiks Speedbarge where you'll be able to open a bunch of quests. This is really only applicable to Alliance since the Henrig Lonebrow Journal quest was removed. Make sure you have your Low Level quest finder turned on!

Kommentar von Seedyranger

Ah ha! So I am now unstuck :-)

I was at 31/60...I went back to Speedbarge, and Fizzle Brassbolts had a new Q for me: "Free Freewind Post".

Phew.

Kommentar von Marloss

Do not go to Thousand Needles if you wish to increase your reputation with the Steamwheedle Cartel (Booty Bay, Everlook, Gadgetzan, Ratchet), since, despite doing a bunch of quests for goblins, neither of the quests will grant you any reputation to any of the Steamwheedle Cartel factions. This is due to the fact that these goblins are members of the Bilgewater Cartel, the new Horde faction added in Cataclysm.

Kommentar von citrique

Step 1: Roll mining/herbalism toon.

Step 2: Get it to 150 of each, then go to Thousand Needles.

Step 3: Do circles around the zone, which is generally devoid of players as 85s never go there.

Step 4: AH it all. Stranglekelp, Mithril ore (or bars), Iron ore and Gold ore can go for 40G+ per stack on many servers including mine. Botters don't usually focus on low-level ore/herbs much, so you can make a mint especially as an expansion goes on and people begin levelling new alts or rerolling.

Stranglekelp is a necessity for levelling Alchemy, Mithril and Iron for Blacksmithing and Engineering, all of which are very popular professions for endgame players and twinks. Blacksmithing especially because you currently only need to level it to 400 to receive the endgame stat benefit from it.

Kommentar von 902444

I can't believe that on a boat full to the brim of goblins and gnomes that there's nowhere to sell (apart from Daisy) and no-where to repair!
(Unless I've been running around with my eyes shut, in which case please correct me.)

Kommentar von Gimroth

The quest Henrig Lonebrow's Journal is no longer obtainable after the great flooding. This item used to start an Alliance side quest that brings the player to Razorfen Kraul.

Strangely enough, despite the Great Lift - where the Journal used to lay - being destroyed by the great flood, the corpse of the dwarf who carried it still remains in the exact same location, albeit a bit more ... decayed.

Kommentar von MABGamer6407

The Instance link For This zone is wrong. Its Razorfen downs not Kraul.
Its acutely Southern Barrons That has Kraul. its also split by the lv of area. as southern Is around 30-35 While 1k Needles is in the 40s.
Oddly the area around kraul is in the low 20s (most-likely too match instance lv). Just wanted too let every 1 know the goof. they were once The barrons instances an are quite close too one another but i have checked the areas and the zones.

Kommentar von Takata

Are we suppose to have a boat? Or just swim around? I just started questing here on my lvl 44 warrior. After I did the quest to put out the fires and bomb the row boats on the side, I was sent to the far off side places, kill pirates ect.. Are we suppose to have a River Boat to get there or just swim across?

Kommentar von fangso

this is a pretty good place to mine mithril but you should get a hydrocane or the buff cause that water is deep.

Kommentar von 1067076

Fizzle and Pozzik's Speedbarge with it's surrounding quest sites are gank infested holes nowadays since both Alliance and Horde do the exactly same quests. God I got ganked here like 7 times more often than in damn Stranglethorn cause Horde is dominant as f**k in my realm... -.-

Kommentar von jemaris

If like me, you're wanting to level your herbalism here collecting Sungrass (230 - 285 roughly) & are struggling to find a way up to the western shelf (without a flying mount) ...

... there's a small outcrop in the water at 30'48 or if you're without co-ords directly north of the 'W' of the word 'Twilight' as in 'Twilight Bulwark' on the map.

There's also a path up at 57'56 just north of 'Twilight Withering'.

You can just make out both paths on the map marked by little dots.

Took me a looooooooooooooooong swim around thousand Needles before I noticed these! Sigh!

Happy Herbing.

Kommentar von shchmue

This zone can be started as early as level 38. Without Auf Befehl des Kriegshäuptlings: Tausend Nadeln!, just take the flight path to Camp Mojache, Ferelas and grab Zum Gipfel from Jawn Hochfeld in the long hut NNW of the Wind Rider. Then take the free flight straight to the first questgiver!

Kommentar von 1109386

For anyone (Horde) trying to open the speedbarge quests, start at the Grimtotems are Coming at Westreach Summit.

For the last several days I have been in Thousand Needles mining Mithril, but yesterday and today I have constantly heard what sounds like Death Knights Horn of Winter no matter where I am in the area. I can't figure out what it is or where it is coming from. I do have MoP. Anyone know what is causing this sound?

And I did check if there were any Death Knights either side before submitting this comment and there were none.

Kommentar von SkyLynx4

Just random farming report (full circle):

Time: 2 am Eastern Time, Monday
Sonnengras x 83 (4 full stacks)

Met 4 horde characters on the route.

Kommentar von 1137079

It's a good place to gank, for all you evil gankers out there. If you're grabbed on a needle, it's not gonna be easy to approach for ressurrection and there's not many places to run.

If you're killed underwater, it's a long trek back to your body, and your ganker will have a swimming costume too.

I like how the Goblins (and the Gnomes) are building their floating race-track. It's one of the best ways they have to show that they're not the type of people to let a little thing like nature get in the way of making obscene amounts of money.

Kommentar von Pipkins

I think it's a shame that the Cenarion Circle and Earthen Ring are working in areas like Desolace and the Plaguelands. Thousand Needles and other zones like Azshara were some of the nicest looking zones before eventually having some massive natural disaster, invasion etc., but it doesn't look like there's much hope of it being cleared of all the floodwater and piles of rubbish.

Kommentar von cryptid420

I have noticed in Thousand Needles, Splithoof Hold and The Admiral's Den caves are the same layout.

I am as well finding it odd wowhead database doesn't include layouts of case systems in WoW though many other websites for WoW do.

Kommentar von 1047167

For Alliance still wanting to obtain the start quests in Thousand Needles as of Patch 5.4.7 you can pick up a start quest in Mudsprocket. If you go into the hut and speak to Falfindel Waywarder to pick up the quest 'To New Thalanaar, it will send you to Ferelas where you complete a quest to kill seven Grimtotem Marauders. After completing this quest you get sent to Rendow on the dock who gives you a quest called 'Two By Boat' which then takes you to the Thousand Needles and the Mirage Raceway where you can begin the Thousand Needles questing :)

Hope this helps some of you as I struggled to find the quest chain as Alliance.

Kommentar von Laudzinger

Even tho the zone says thousand needles, i counted about 60 or so.

Where can I find the sundtrack before Cata? I've looking for a music used to place in the rest area during the TBC-WLK.

I searched the key words on youtube, but got Cata-MoP stuff only :(

Kommentar von forgottenring

If you just walked into this zone and haven't got the starter quest the zone will be very dead. No need to go to Dustwallow, get Die Grimmtotems kommen for Horde or Die Grimmtotems kommen for Alliance. The quest line will get you some zone buffs to make travel and questing in this area much easier.

Kommentar von Constantime

I miss the Shimmering Flats at night. It was so nice to look at. So peaceful too.

Kommentar von Doublezz

Just a note to fix the map on this page. The map shows the location of various herbs including Incendia Agave which is no longer in the game. Incendia Agave used to be the object of a pre-cata horde quest called "Sacred fire" and one gathered the herb around the Boiling pool while fighting off Elemental mobs. Apparently the herb could be used to make tequilla. After 4.0.3 with Cata, the Thousand Needles zone was remade, the old racetrack was flooded and most of the zone is now underwater including the old Boiling pool area that has been removed along with the quest line and the herb Incendia Agave. All one finds today in these depths is Stanglekelp herb and lots of Mithril for miners. The Incendia Agave herb needs to be removed from this map.

Kommentar von Doloria

The flightpoint in Tausend Nadeln at Fizzle and Possik's Speedbarge is hard to see from the deck.

It's on a raised lifeboat at 41, 73 that you access using stairs near the boat railing (or by using a flying mount). It's close to the diving chamber at the "front" of the boat. You don't need to do any quests in the zone to see or access the flight master. Just click on the green exclamation mark. See screenshot of flight point on raised "life raft".

If you are stuck at around 5/60 Quests working on Thousand Needles Quests, and can not find what to do next are are getting angry and wondering why Bliz does this to you, do not despair.

I recommend you check on the quest In The Outhouse

The Quest Giver is way underwater so you may easily miss it (like someone else I know quite well).

Go to 79,75, swim to the bottom, in a ravine there is an Outhouse made of wood with a Quest ? above it. Enjoy!
