| abstract | - This guide is for Alliance characters who have made it to Menethil Harbor (usually overland from Ironforge), and who wish to reach Gadgetzan in Tanaris. The first step, regardless of later choices, is to take the ship at the southern dock to Theramore. From Theramore, the safest way to Gadgetzan, especially for lower level characters, is to swim. You may want to bring swim speed and/or water breathing potions along for the sake of convenience. There are some nasty critters in the Theramore harbor, so as you approach by ship, before you get into the harbor, jump into the water and start following the shoreline south. Pay attention to where you are swimming and stick to the light blue water, as it appears on your mini-map. The light blue water is close to the shore in this area, whereas the dark blue water is further out and will cause fatigue. NB: Swimming from Theramore Isle can be extremely dangerous while in the Dustwallow Marsh waters if you don't take some basic precautions: you're very likely to encounter Young Murk Threshers (level 35) (pleisiosaurs like the ones in Darkshore). Swim around them to avoid their aggro radius. Very rare, but still very dangerous, are Coral Sharks, level 45-46 elites.
