Darnassus

Continent: Kalimdor (nomitive)

''This Alliance capital city is populated by Night Elves and is located in the Island of Teldrassil. It is ruled by the Priestess of the Moon Tyrande Whisperwind and the Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm.''

Darnassus is the capital city of the Night Elves ruled by the Priestess of the Moon Tyrande Whisperwind on west side of the magical World Tree island of Teldrassil.

As with all major cities it has a Bank and nearly all the Class and Profession trainers available. It has most types of vendors, and an Auction House. Unlike most cities, it does not have a direct Flight Path route.

To the west of the Bank is a portal tent that takes you to Rut'theran Village, and the way off the Teldrassil world tree.

Darnassus has two Repeatable Reputation Quests (RRQs) for Darnassus reputation: Quest:Morrowgrain to Darnassus and Morrowgrain to Feathermoon Stronghold.

There is a repeatable Quest in all three cities, where you can turn in 20 runecloth for 50 reputation points (humans 55 rp) each. You'll find the collector-NPC next to the tailor in all three cities. Before that you have to bring in 60 wool cloth, 60 silk cloth and 60 mageweave cloth. After that you need 60 runecloth once.

Mobs killable for Darnassus Reputation are
 * Shadowprey Guardian; Limit: Honored 6000/12000

= Notes, Tips, & Additional Resources =


 * Darnassus has no direct transportation routes, unlike other cities. The Hippogryph roost and Boat pier are in Rut'theran Village
 * Tip: If you are trying to increase your Darnassus reputation, when you hit level 44 go to Feralas. It's associated with Darnassus, and you can raise your reputation there.
 * Note: Parnassus was a mountain in central Greece where (according to Greek mythology) the Muses lived; known as the mythological home of music and poetry (Liakoura is the modern name of Mount Parnassus).
