Transportation encompasses the various means on traveling around in [[World of Warcraft]].

= Basic =

==Walking/Running==

Running is the main method of exploring the world. Flight paths require you to run to their Flight Masters around the world to unlock them. Teleports, Portals, Boats, Zeppelins, and the Deeprun Tram only have set destinations. [[Transportation#Mounts|Mounts]] are a form of running.

Several classes gain a [[power]] to increase their run speed.

*[[Hunter]]s have [[Aspect of the Cheetah]] (lvl 20) and [[Aspect of the Pack]] (lvl 40).

*[[Druid]]s have a [[Travel Form]] trainable at level 30. Also, talent points can be invested to increase running speed in cat form by 15% per each of two points for this talent in the Feral tree. This 15% bonus to cat form movement speed, as well as a set bonus from the pvp rare set, can make travel in cat form faster than in travel form itself.

*[[Shaman]]s have a [[Ghost Wolf|Ghost Wolf Form]], trainable at level 20.

*[[Mage]]s do not have a constant speed boosting skill, however at level 20 they may periodically use "[[blink]]" in order to shorten their travel time.

*[[Rogue]]s have an ability called [[Sprint]], which increases running speed by 50-70% depending on level, and does stack with the Minor Speed Increase enchant. This ability can be used while stealthed and doesn't break stealth. This ability also makes the Rogue a successful flag carrier in [[Warsong Gulch]]. However, this effect only lasts 15 seconds, and is limited by a 5-minute cooldown. This ability is therefore best left for an quick getaway, to sneak up quickly while stealthed, or to catch a zeppelin/boat before it leaves.

*[[Paladin]]s have the [[Pursuit of Justice]] talent, which increases their normal and mounted movement speed by 4% per talent point invested (up to 8%). Unfortunately, this does not stack with mithril spurs, carrot on a stick, or the riding speed enchant.

==Swimming==

Swimming is, by far, the slowest way of getting anywhere, since it subtracts your speed by 50% and speed buffs do not work while swimming, save for one alchemy potion. It can also be dangerous, as you have a [[breath]] meter while underwater, and if you go deep enough (meaning far enough away from land), a [[fatigue]] meter. When a [[breath]] or [[fatigue]] meter reaches 0, the player takes damage every few seconds, until they surface or leave the high pressure area.

[[Druid]]s have an [[Aquatic Form]] that protects them from drowning, and increases their swimming speed by 100%, raising their swim speed to be level with normal run speed. In addition, [[Warlock]] and [[Shaman]] spells and Elixirs of (Greater) Water Breathing allow you to breathe underwater, and [[Shaman]]s and [[Priest]]s may also cast a spell to allows them to walk on water. [[Forsaken]] have a racial ability which helps them last longer underwater, increasing their breath by 300%. In addition, [[engineer]]s at level 230 can create [[Deepdive Helmet]]s to breath permanently underwater.

There is also a trinket called Hook of the Master Angler, one of the prizes for being the winner in the Stranglethorn Fishing Contest. It turns the user into a fish, increasing their swim speed by 100% as well as allowing underwater breath, though the effect cancels upon strike, which in a sense makes druid aquatic form more desirable in some scenarios.

= Teleportation =

== Death ==

Upon dying, your character will be teleported to the nearest graveyard. You can either run back to your body and choose a place to resurrect near there, or ask the [[Spirit Healer]] to resurrect you at the graveyard.

==[[Hearthstone]]==

* Can be used once every hour to transport the player to their home location.

==[[Dark Portal|The Dark Portal]]==

* Leads to [[Outland]].

* Must first be opened through an in-game event upon release of the [[Burning Crusade]] expansion.

==[[Mage]] [[Portal]]==

* Mages can create a portal to the [[capital]] city of their choosing, with the proper spell. The mage has two versions of this: a self-only [[Teleport]] and a [[Portal]] for group members.

==[[Teleport: Moonglade]]==

* Similar to a Mage's self-only [[Teleport]], this allows a [[Druid]] to teleport to [[Moonglade]].

==[[Ritual of Summoning]]==

* [[Warlock]]s can cast this spell to transport a [[party]] member to them.

* Requires at least 4 party members - a Warlock to initiate the ritual, 2 others nearby to participate in the ritual, and 1 to be transported to the rest of the party.

* Requires a soul shard reagent, which the warlock can aquire through the soul drain spell.

==[[Astral Recall]]==

* Allows a [[Shaman]] to transport to their home location.

* Basically, it's a [[Hearthstone]] you can use every 15 minutes.

==[[Transporter]]==

*4-hour cooldown.

*Some side-effects may occur, and include:

** Missing the destination transporter pad and appearing several hundred feet away, high above the desert. The fall will probably kill you, and will cause 10% durability loss to your gear. Have a [[Parachute Cloak]] equipped and be ready to activate it.

** The creation of an "evil twin".

** Being transformed into a [[Trogg]] for a short period of time.

===Dimensional Ripper===

*Goblin [[Engineer]]s with 260 skill can create a gizmo that will transport them to [[Everlook]].

*4-hour cooldown.

*Some side-effects may occur, and include:

** Catching fire and dying when you appear in Everlook.
