Does a boat come by steamwheedle port?
Didn't know the port existed until I decided to come here, and I've been waiting a bit, but need to get going and don't know if a boat will come. WOuld be nice to know in case I come back here.
At present there's no boat that arrives in Steamwheedle Port. Blizzard may add one in the future but for now it's NYI.
OK, if you havn't been here, from ironforge, go to wetlands, take the boat to theramore, then go along the road to the barrens, from the barrens go south to thousand needles, from there head west, to the area called like the saltflats or whatever, and then head south again. quite a distance. once you get your griffin point in tanaris you can fly directly from theramore or darkshore
The shimmering flats are to the east in thousand needles once you leave the barrens, not to the west. Otherwise those directions are correct.

I actually swam all the way from Feathermoon to Steamwheedle Port (yes, that was insane I know) and explored a deep circular type cave. Nothing was in there, and the horde-looking huts outside were uninhabited too. On the way, I saw some odd texture-mapped clipping but didn't want to get stuck and lose my progress by exploring what would happen if I entered the weird clipping area...
i made it to the island actully is 2 islands there
is used swiming speed potion when it ran out i use my levitate and run then i died close to the shore and then i used the soulstone then i was there
it wasent much there just a scorpion and few pirates =)
I made it, here is all the information about the secret island.
Getting there:
1.) Get a soulstone casted on you from a warlock, and tell that warlock to stay in your group(the SS goes away if the warlock leaves the group).
2.)Go to the southern tip of Tanaris. Look out to the south-east. You can see a piece of land. Start swimming to it.
3. About halfway there, you will die from fatigue. Resserect yourself with the Soulstone (you can let the warlock leave the group now).
4.) Continue swimming to the island. If done correctly, you will make it to the shallow water just before you die from fatigue again.
Healing yourself on the way there, having a shaman spell to walk on water, and having a swim speed potion will obviously help, but these things are not required to get there. I made it without them.
On the island:
There are level 44-(ish) mobs of pirates and vultures. They can be found at port too. There are some golblin buildings and intesting machines around the island. There are actually 2 islands, with an oil rig in the between them.
Gathering stuff:
I didn't find any herbs, minerals, and all I caught from fishing was cod.
There's really nothing on the island you can't find in Tanaris. (so we think...)
Myths:
I have heard that there is a message in a bottle from the GMs with an insanly low drop rate on the island, and finding it will unlock a huge WoW secret! This is unconfirmed. I know that there is an underwater city near by. If you look on the map, there is a circular symbol in the south-east coner. Go there and swim down. Start swimming there from the secret island, not Tanaris. It's easier to make it this way. You will need a SS, breathng potion, and swim speed potion. I got close enough to see this city but never made it to it. t(x_xt) I made a forum about this on the WoW website. If you have anymore information about it, please post it as a responce to my forum. It's called "Tanaris Secret Islands" posted by Aleex. :-)
there is whole truth about this islands:

it was used in q event for opening city in Silithus.. nothing more.. (i hope)
The safest way to get here, especially at lower levels, is to swim. Take the ship from Menethil Harbor to Theramore. Once you are there, or even before you get into harbor, jump into the water and start following the shoreline south until you reach Steamwheedle Port. It was about a 10 minute swim with no swim speed potions.
Two important things to note.
- The only point of danger is right at Theramore. There are some elder murk dwellers that swim in the bay at Theramore and they are level 42'ish. I noticed that most of them stayed down pretty low, but I did managed to get chased by one. I would suggest getting off the ship before it enters the bay if you are worried about this.
- When you are swimming down the coast, the deep water is only about 3-4 character widths away from the shoreline, so you need to be attentive while swimming. Just stay in the light-blue water near the coastline.

The Goblin run Auction House in Gadgetzan is neutral, and is a convienant place to sell goods that might be rare to a faction. Although the Goblin AH requires a hefty deposit, prompting one to fix a price that will surely sell, good profits can be made.

Don't know much about Feralas, but Tanaris is definitely better for questing than the Hinterlands.
That is, unless I'm missing a ton of quests in the Hinterlands. In any case, a lot of the quests in Tanaris involving killing things, and are relatively simple. Beyond that, you have Zul'Farrak in your backyard, which yields several good quests. After you finish questing in Tanaris, you can then head to Un'goro where there is another slew of quests. Of course, you have to be 48+ to be able to survive there, but..you get the idea.
Faster/safer way to get there for the first time is to swim south along the coast from Theramore Isle.just keep close to the coast and you will be fine. Hope that helps.

A lvl 45 priest, 46 pally, and me a 48 warlock made it together to the islands. Very hard to get to had to have priest double back and res us. just few groups of pirates, a vulture or 2 and a few scorpians. Very disappointed since i heard there was supposed to be a message in a bottle from GMs. The islands wont appear on map tho since they are quite far to south, but reachable. If you were trying to get to the edge of world which ive heard of, this prob best place to try since once u reach islands ur fatigue leaves and ur already far off map.

Follow the path in Dustwallow Marsh to the path that leads to the Barrens. Go into the Barrens and follow the path south, it will split about halfway through the country. You will then go to the elevators and take them down-Do not jump. Head west and go through Thousand Needles. You will follow the path west until you get to a big open area and you will then start heading south once you get to the racetrack. Along the mountains you will find the pathway that leads to Tanaris. The path ends at Gad. The Horde flight plan is next to the mountains on the left and the Alli flight plan is on the over side of the city.

Ok i heard secert islands so I went to check it out (on a lv 60 restro tauren druid) process of gettin there was very dangerous dont think any other class can get to it solo even with swift swim pots. Did seal form till health was almost 0, did nature swift and healin touch, hp got down 4 other times and did regrowth each time till i reached island. at 1st island there was 1 pirate and a fire roc than i saw 2nd island, which had lots of pirates with a pretty dang quick respawn no fire rocs on 2nd island. the place was lame but there was one unique thing, a dirt mound with 4 pieces of metal and a shovel around...im assuming these pirates were stranded and buried one of there dead but thats all i got.
Azjol Nerub-Kanebloodeye, i got a screen shot so msg my aim Generalmills2015 if you wanna see the pic.
u do realize, if u got to menethil and then to theramore hsrbour, u can swim south for about 5 mins and u get ther real fast...u arraive at steamweedle port and u just hehd north for gadgetzan :)

A few months ago... well more like a year ago i tried to go here on a 46 or 48 (don't remember) hunter i did not read the part about them not being on the maps and thought they where the island things east of steamwheedle port, i found out they where to gay boats floating, then i found the islands but could not go there. i tried again today on a 42 paladin NO HELP just the paladin (the hunter is 70 now) i got close to the island, at least close enough i could start to see what it looked like. I died. The only reason i got so close is because as a paladin you can bubble and not have dmg done. I did a corpse run bubbled and swam and i got like right on the edge of where the fatigue area fades. i died right there, basically a step away from the safe zone. Did a corpse run, i don't know how but i made it, rezed bubbled and got in the safe zone and almost exactly when i got in the bubble faded.
I found myself on a island, 1 of 2 a 42 paly off the map. Anyway the 1st island is big with 2 goblin-style houses 1 with a elevator in it, the elevator is primitive and it's kid of hard to get on and ride up, when you get up it's just a room with a bed, the 2nd house is empty and has a goblin style stick-shacky thing next to it. I FOUND NO MOBS ON 1ST ISLAND.
Between islands theres a goblin river structure, like the venture co. one in STV.
2nd island has a Goblin tower 2 goblin houses, a scorpion (lvl 44) is kinda guarding it it does have a dirt mound with 2 shovels in it lots of pirates with a damn quick respawn they drop normal loot.
Anyway I just posted this to inform they ARE still there. they ARE reachable as a 42 with no pots AS LONG as you have a bubble. :P
Thank You

EDIT: found a heyena on first island
East of Zalashji's Den, there's two ships, one partially on fire. I got out to them, but couldn't get on. Anyone got any info?
Wtf second screenshot is in desolace...
Since Blizzard hides the new WotLK features in the oceans, and and almost impossible places, I think these might be the new expansion Ships. Just like the stormwind vault, and that big instance portal behind the gate, and the forgotten tower in SW trade district, I bet those are new WotLK features.
The druid's way of getting to the island off Tanaris:
1. Get to the bottom of Tanaris and cast aquatic form.
2. Find the outline of the island and swim toward it.
3. You may die once, but it is easy to resurect if you swim straight toward your corpse. after that, cast aquatic form and swim toward the island again. you should make it before fatiuge kills you.
I've done it three times. I made sure it works!
why don't they just have this island on the map? it is so easy to get to so why not just put it on the map and move it closer to mainland?
man tanaris is kind of hard. i was lvling my hunter there. it took me like 4 hours to do there quests and lvl to 49. i think tanaris doesn't like me. but all well the good part is that i lvled and that what counts.
What level does your fishing have to be to fish here?Mine's 250 and I can hardly catch a thing.And where do you get fishing supplies here?
level 42 druid....swam all the way south from theramore using aquatic form....easy. just be careful to stay in the lighter part of the water so as not to become fatigued and die.
You know those 2 strips of island that are showing on the map by wavestrider beach? They are not islands, these are 2 unknown ships, You will lose fatigue going out there though. One is a menethil ship, and the other ship is a pirate ship, like the ones at The lost cove or something.
