WoW: Valdrakken Guide – this is how you find important services
A new expansion, a new center for trading, crafting, hair stylists and all our belongings! In Dragonflight, this frolicking spot is called Valdrakken and, like Oribos in Shadowlands, will be a common hub for both Horde and Alliance heroes. The unequal cities from BfA were really a unique story, phew! However, the dragon home differs in many (dragon) aspects from the afterlife metropolis of Oribos. That’s why we’re taking you on a little tour of your new Dragonflight home away from home.

Coming to Valdrakken: how?
How you get to Valdrakken is actually pretty much up to you. In contrast to the administrative headquarters of the heavenly and hellish forces from Shadowlands, which is floating in nowhere, Valdrakken is physically accessible from all points of the Dragon Islands. So as soon as you have arrived on the new continent after the intro quest of Dragonflight, all directions are open to you. If you then want to get to the new capital as quickly as possible, then you have to head to the mountainous region of Thaldraszus, which is located in the west of the Dragon Islands. To the east of this region, near the border of the Awakening Coast, you will find Valdrakken. Due to the many mountains, a simple straight hike there is not possible, but shortly after receiving our riding dragon we were able to advance to the city, which is located at lofty heights, in a few attempts.
You will find all the important places in Valdrakken numbered on this map.

1: A stone’s throw away from the flight master is the capital’s auction house. [Quelle: buffed]
Once you’ve unlocked the Flight Master (5) there, you can already take a breather: you’ve made it, you’ve arrived at the center of the Seat of the Dragon Aspects! They all have enclaves here. But these lofty topics are not so important for a city tour. Where’s something to drink? You’re almost right if you’re just about to get to the flight master! The palace (13) with its portals to Orgrimmar and Stormwind has a large space in front of it and this lures directly with the most important things for everyday WoW life. Next to the mini-airport for scaly planes you will find the auction house (1), where you can peddle or bid on items. Diagonally opposite there is also the bank (2), where you can keep the items mentioned and also find the Great Treasury for weekly rewards in Dragonflight.
2: This cool dragon manages the Bank and Great Treasury of Valdrakken. By his side? A cute drake with a top hat on his head!

The level designers have really let off steam here. Of course, this town’s bank needs to look more like Smaug’s treasury from The Hobbit, complete with mountains of gold and a giant reptile named Numerormi, but merciful enough to hand out riches. A cute drake with a top hat can be seen at the side of the charming administrator, which bears the name “Lebenworth the Third”. Great nod to one of the stingiest ducks in comics history! But now we let ourselves be distracted, we were thirsty. The square with a bank, auction house and flight master also houses an inn (6) where you can calibrate your hearthstone. The cookery teacher is also waiting for willing students in the rustic restaurant. And if you want to enter a secret room, that is also possible: Bow to “Strange Statue” near the cook and see what happens. In front of the inn you will also find one of the Valdrakken mailboxes, which can also be found in the craft district, for example. Speaking of!
6: In the city center you will also find the inn. Bow inside a “strange statue” to access a secret room.
