Over the weekend, Senior Designer Jeremy Feasel asked players what sorts of quirky details they'd like to see in Dalaran 2.0 coming in
Legion
.
There were some great replies, and this also sent us down a nostalgia trip to
Dalaran
in Wrath of the Lich King. Here's some of the details in Dalaran 1.0 that made it stand out as a capital city in Wrath of the Lich King. What sort of fun stuff or throwback Wrath references would you like to see in Legion's version of Dalaran?
Dalaran is a magocratic city-state and was once located within the Alterac Mountains in the Eastern Kingdoms. Now, the city, including the Violet Citadel, resides above the Crystalsong Forest in Northrend. The top part of the city is sparkling and airy, while the sewers underground show the darker side of magic addiction and luxury. The city is neutral, with enclaves for both the Alliance and Horde.
Food
Dalaran's food vendors are unique in that they sell food platters and bottles of alcohol that come with visuals and 3D models. Your food looks as delicious as it tastes.
Aimee
was the first dessert vendor in the game, selling delicacies like
Tortino Vellutato
. She is the only vendor who sells
Ciambella di Lunacupa
,
Spuntino di Dalaran
, and
Ciambella di Dalaran
--mail some to a friend to brighten their day in-game. You can also place
Torta Deliziosa
,
Torta Celebrativa al Cioccolato
, and
Grossa Torta ai Mirtilli
on a table to celebrate a special occassion with a group.
Melafronda
sells healthier snacks. Fittingly
Melafronda
the fruit vendor is a resto druid in Treeform. In addition to selling fruits from across Azeroth, such as
Mela Rossa Lucida
and
Mela Annurca
, he sells the unique
Succo di Mela Fresco
and
Cesta di Mele di Dalaran
.
Christi Stockton
sells a variety of fancy wine bottles and casks your raid can enjoy. The
Barile di Rosso di Dalaran Invecchiato
, for , even takes a year to fully mature--for a one-time use
Barile di Rosso di Dalaran Barricato
which serves
Bicchiere di Rosso di Dalaran Barricato
.
Bottiglia di Bianco di Dalaran
and
Bottiglia di Rosso di Dalaran
are the cheapest bottles that serve 5 players, and
Bottiglia di Rosso di Dalaran Invecchiato
is for snobby collectors, which turns into
Bottiglia di Rosso di Dalaran Barricato
. There are also casks:
Barile di Bianco di Dalaran
and
Barile di Rosso di Dalaran
. Some players in the past have been puzzled why the alcohol is a one-time use for the price and aging process--but that's the nature of wine cellars.
Lucian Trias
, relative of
Elling Trias
, sells
Pane Fresco di Dalaran
,
Forma di Emmental di Dalaran
,
Forma di Fontina Stagionata di Dalaran
which can feed your party.
Gear
Dalaran vendors offer many common-quality "RP" items, in addition to the essentials, which add some personality to their shops.
Hat vendor
Chameli Banaphash
sells mystical-themed apparel:
Cappello Viola
and
Turbante Viola
.
Karandonna
, a tribute to the fashion designer
Donna Karan
, sells 16 unique shirts. The most expensive shirt is
Camicia Ricamata
for , which resembles the fancy Worgen blouse/tuxedo. She also sells
Filigreed Shirts
,
Martial Shirts
, and
Filigreed Doublet
. All of these shirts are slightly different prices, with Black shirts being the most expensive for a certain style, and Amber shirts the cheapest.
Dalaran is the place to get expensive wine casks, so it's fitting
Christi Stockton
sells the offhands
Bicchiere di Vino
and
Bicchiere di Vino Rosso
.
Dalaran comes with its own set of purple/gold weapons, which don't have any practical purpose--but they look stylish. Back in the day, players could buy these weapons to raise their weapon skill for
Signore delle armi
. Our favorites are
Martello di Dalaran
,
Granspada di Dalaran
and
Ascia di Dalaran
--check out the full list
here
.
Angelique Butler
in the First Aid building sells the shirts
Bendaggi per Ferite
and
Bendaggio Macchiato di Antisettico
, as well as
Veste dell'Infermiera di Dalaran
and
Pozione Intravenosa di Cura
to add more verisimilitude to your healing.
Professions
Profession buildings in Dalaran went all-out in conveying the flavor of each skill. The Alchemy building is a bubbling vial, the Herbalism building is a greenhouse, the Jewelcrafting building is a jewelry store studded with gems, the Blacksmithing building is attached to a Forge.
NPCs in profession buildings train players and sell various recipes, but tailors had an additional perk.
Charles Worth
teaches the
Mantello di Mortegelida
recipe to tailors who have completed
Storico di Nordania
, and
Mantello del Fuoco Fatuo
for
Maestro delle spedizioni di Nordania
.
The Dalaran fountain is a popular place for Anglers. In addition to
Pesce Rosso da Fontana
, many famous NPCs have thrown coins in over the years, and your job is to fish them out! Check out the criteria on
Una monetina per i tuoi pensieri
,
C'è dell'oro in quella fontana!
, and
Argento cittadino
to see who all has coins--some of the neat ones are
Moneta d'Argento del Re Terenas Menethil
,
Moneta d'Argento di Khadgar
,
Moneta d'Oro di Sylvanas Ventolesto
, and
Moneta d'Oro di Kel'Thuzad
. Collecting all the coins awards
Moneta di Titanio di Dalaran
, which can be flipped for heads or tails emotes.
Players can also fish up unique items in Dalaran. The Sewers has
Pantegana Gigante
,
Carpa di Fogna
, and
Pesce Magico
which either grants a Well Fed buff or a
Magia Selvaggia
buff which transforms you into a basilisk, whelp, locust, or wisp. In contrast, the area outside the Violet Hold Prison has
Anguilla Viscida
,
Tinca Rilucente
,
Daga Insanguinata

Bottiglia Mezza Vuota di Torcibudella Artigianale

Bottiglia Mezza Piena di Torcibudella Artigianale

are unique variants on Horde and Alliance mounts.

Redini dell'Orso da Guerra Nero
.
Gain reputation with
Kirin Tor
to reduce the cost of these mounts.
Monuments/Places of Interest
While Dalaran is a capital city with expected utilities like portals, banks, gear vendors, and Auction Houses, it was laid out in such a way to make the player feel that they were visiting a series of small luxury boutiques interspersed with monuments and decorations. Even if you didn't need to visit a particular shop, it was fun to wander in and explore because of the flavor items the NPCs would sell or the funny decorations on the walls.
The Justice Point gear in Dalaran was split up among many vendors, themed around boutique shops with different themes. For example, the fashion shop sold cloth epics, fancy shirts, hats, and epic boots. Useful gear was mixed in with flavor items to add to the personality of the city.
Dalaran has numerous fun shops--a Toyshop, Wine and Cheese Shop, and occult, in addition to the elaborate profession and armor shops.
The Sisters Sorcerous is a magical shop for Mages with a darker side.
Endora Testagrande
sells limited supplies of
Libro Magico Consumato
and
Antico Tomo del Portale: Dalaran
. There's also a black cat called
Sfigatto
asleep in the corner.
Up at the top of Dalaran is the Purple Parlor, a bar with a great view of the city.
The Alliance Inn comes with a relaxing brewgarden in the back.
At the center of Dalaran is a monument celebrating the fall of the Lich King. This appeared when the first raid on the server defeated Arthas in Icecrown Citadel, and players can click on the inscription to relive the final cinematic.
When players defeat Algalon, one player can turn in the
Codice di Risposta Alfa
which triggers an event in Dalaran where Rhonin praises the player. In Wrath this was a special occurrence, but since Algalon can easily be killed, Rhonin can be overly chatty and noisy.
Archmage Antonidas memorial--Antonidas was the previous leader of the Kirin Tor, killed by Arthas. The inscription on the monument is by Jaina Proudmoore.
Pets
Expert battle-pet site
WarcraftPets
founder Breanni runs the Dalaran pet shop, which features adorable pet cages and aquariums. Breanni sells a few unique pets as well,

Sewers
Most of Dalaran is sparkling and airy, but the Sewers offer a contrast--it's where the Rogues and Warlocks hang out. Dalaran's Underbelly may even be near the Rogue Class Hall in Legion.
There are several entries down to the sewers from the main city, as well as a one-way wishing well players can jump down and a gigatic sewer pipe they can fly up in.
The center of the sewers is set up for PvP, with vendors selling Wrath gear. In Legion, this area may inspire a free-for-all PvP event.
Elisir dei Sotterranei
is scattered around the Sewers and will either turn you into a flying wasp, a Hungry Tuskarr with a +50 fishing buff, or warp your vision so everyone in Dalaran appears to be a human mage wearing
Netherwind Regalia
.
Segacedi
, a reference to
Sewer Shark
, swims underneath the Rogue and Warlock vendors.
Ratto delle Fogne di Dalaran
and the 4
Tartaruga delle Fogne di Dalaran
are a reference to
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
.
Toys
The Dalaran Toyshop, run by
Geppetto Belgioioso
, is a quirky store filled with all sorts of toys long before the Toy Box became a thing. In later expansions, similar toyshops have sprung up in other cities but this one was the first. Highlights include:
Trenino Giocattolo
and
Spaccatreni a Molla
--get everyone to do the /train emote, or end the fun.
Purchase Winter Veil items like
Telecomando del Meccanorazzo Blu
,
Carabina ad Aria Compressa

Secret Areas
There are a few secret areas in Dalaran you can unlock!
Archmage Vargoth's Retreat can be accessed upon completing
Conoscenza superiore
. This is a fun, but time-consuming achievement, in which you need to track down eight correct books in Dalaran, ignoring duds like
I Portali NON Sono Discariche!
.
Le Scuole della Magia Arcana - Maestria
will teleport you to a secret lavish room atop the Violet Citadel. For more details, check out the
Higher Learning Guide
].
Engineers can access a closed sewer underneath Dalaran via
Generatore di Tunnel Spaziotemporali: Nordania
--the "Underground..." option has a low chance to appear. Here you'll find
Kaye Toogie
, who is the only vendor that sells
Schema: Minidrago d'Arcanite
, plus she only sells one on a limited respawn. You could be waiting down here a while to get the goods you want--fortunately there's no easy way out, just via your Hearthstone.
Notable NPCs
