Hello there, Chester checking in!  In case you don’t already know who I am, I am a humble merchant that likes to travel the world and find all of those less traveled places to find little known bits to add to my collection.  At the fair you’ll see me selling my exotic wares, but here I’d like to tell you, fine adventurer, about places and items that you might not know about.  I will tell you about those things that are off the beaten path starting with the Steam Pools Resort.

Resort Relaxation

This trip I aim to make you aware of a charming little place where you can safely take that heavy armor of yours off, and get some much needed rest and relaxation.  Yes, indeed, there is a certain place known as the Steam Pools Resort that is, oddly enough, tucked away betwixt lands where few adventurers care to travel.  Very odd that it should be so hidden, given that the place is run and maintained by goblins.  The resort is well staffed and has everything you could want. Even a boat is on hand, although it doesn’t seem to do much moving about.  There’s even rumors of celebrity guests enjoying a stay.

 

Finding the Resort

You can find this resort along the border between Feralas and Silithus.

Now usually the best way to reach it is to fly there, however if you really want to get there by foot, you most certainly can.  The path starts in Feralas near the cursed Darkmist Ruins (64.48/62.85).  Climb on up into the hills, making your way south until you reach a tree (65.00/66.31). Next, turn east and track through the rough landscape until you reach the beach. Swim across the lake and bam you’re there!  Here’s a photo of the trail for those of you who would like to visit the resort by hiking instead of flying.
