Riverglades is a new contested zone in WoW Forever, with separate quest hubs for Horde and Alliance characters. There are multiple ways to enter, including an overland route from the Eastern Kingdoms and a ship from Kalimdor. The best entrance depends on your faction and starting location.

How to Get to Riverglades as Alliance in WoW Forever
The easiest way to reach Riverglades as Alliance is through Redridge Mountains. A new road branches away from the route toward Burning Steppes, giving you direct access to the western side of Riverglades without taking a boat.
Follow these directions:
- Travel to Lakeshire in Redridge Mountains.
- Follow the road north toward the Burning Steppes entrance.
- Look for a crossroads with a signpost pointing toward Riverglades.
- Take the right-hand road instead of continuing toward Burning Steppes.
- Continue into the Bristle Hills area of Riverglades.
- Follow the roads south toward Farholde Keep, the main Alliance settlement.
Farholde Keep is located on an island in the southeastern portion of Riverglades, around coordinates 60.6, 81.6. You'll find the Alliance flight master there, making it an important first stop.
This route is particularly convenient for Alliance characters already leveling in Redridge Mountains or nearby Eastern Kingdoms zones.
How to Get to Riverglades as Horde in WoW Forever
Horde characters have two useful approaches depending on their current continent. From Kalimdor, the most straightforward option is the new ship connecting Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris to Powderfuse Port in Riverglades.
Take the Boat From Tanaris
The Tanaris ship is a neutral connection that can be used by both factions. It arrives at Powderfuse Port, a goblin settlement on the eastern coast of Riverglades.
- Travel through the Barrens into Thousand Needles.
- Continue south through the Shimmering Flats to reach Tanaris.
- Head toward Gadgetzan, then travel east to Steamwheedle Port on the coast.
- Board the ship traveling to Powderfuse Port.
- After arriving in Riverglades, follow the road inland toward Rog'mar.
- Visit the Horde flight master at Rog'mar to unlock the local flight path.
Rog'mar is the Horde's main settlement in Riverglades, located around coordinates 59.6, 45.1, near the central river.
This route avoids entering through Alliance territory and is especially practical when you're already questing in southern Kalimdor.
Enter Riverglades From the Badlands
If you're already in the Eastern Kingdoms, traveling all the way to Tanaris isn't necessary.
Horde characters coming from the Badlands can enter Riverglades through its northwestern land connection, near the area north of Twilight's Shroud.
This is a useful alternative for characters traveling from Kargath or questing in the Badlands. Once inside Riverglades, continue toward Rog'mar to establish your Horde flight connection.
Be careful around Twilight's Shroud, as the area contains hostile Twilight's Hammer forces.
Other Ways to Enter Riverglades
The Redridge road and Tanaris ship are the simplest routes for most characters, but Riverglades also connects to surrounding Eastern Kingdoms zones.
- Swamp of Sorrows: Characters traveling from Stonard can approach from the south, including a coastal route toward the area below Wheeler's Grange.
- Badlands: A northwestern connection provides another entrance for characters already exploring the region.
- Burning Steppes: The western side of Riverglades connects through the Blackrock Pass area, offering another overland approach.
These entrances are worth considering if you're already nearby. There's little reason to travel to another continent simply to use the Tanaris ship when an accessible land connection is closer.
Where Are the Horde and Alliance Flight Paths in Riverglades?
Once you arrive, unlocking your faction's flight path should be your first priority. Riverglades is a large zone, and establishing a flight connection makes returning for quests and dungeon runs much easier.
| Faction | Flight Path | Coordinates |
|---|---|---|
| Alliance | Farholde Keep | 60.6, 81.6 |
| Horde | Rog'mar | 59.6, 45.1 |
Powderfuse Port is neutral, but it isn't a replacement for your faction's main quest hub. Horde characters arriving by ship should continue to Rog'mar, while Alliance characters entering from Redridge can head directly toward Farholde Keep.
What Level Should You Be Before Entering Riverglades?
Riverglades is designed for characters roughly between levels 35 and 45, with much of its questing content covering the mid-30s through mid-40s.
You can travel into the zone before reaching that range, but arriving around level 35 or 36 is more practical for questing.
The zone also contains Krol'dok Stronghold, a new five-player ogre dungeon intended for levels 40 to 45.
Since Riverglades is contested territory, characters on PvP realms should also expect encounters with the opposing faction, particularly around shared roads and neutral areas.
