Breaking the picks

In the first area you get to you will see a small pond and a new quest for you to get. Get the quest and walk past Eyahn Eagletalon until you get to the forge you need. While standing beside the forge, right-click on the picks until you have 5 broken tool quest items. Your quest objective should now be complete.

Banking In Azeroth

Just before we leave we want to take a look at the banking and transport available. East of the forge you will see the Thunder Bluff bank and just to the left of that you will see the entrance to a massive totem. Head towards the bank first. Talking to one of the bankers will allow you to transfer items from your inventory in to your bank vault. This is a handy place to store items that you collect that you don't want to carry around with you. You can buy extra bank slots for extra space but you don't need to worry about that for now.

Leave the bank and go to the right and in to the bottom of the massive totem. Follow the spiral staircase all the way to the top, again being careful not to fall off. At the very top you will meet Tal, the Wind Rider Master. Wind riders are the primary form of transport in World Of Warcraft. They allow you to fly from one area to another for a small fee.

Flying around

Before you can use the wind riders you must first open up the flight paths to the destinations you want to fly to and from. This means that you have to travel by foot at least once to each area and introduce yourself to the wind rider master. You begin the game knowing at least one wind rider, meaning you can always return to your starting city. For now you won't be able to go anywhere, so head back down the stairs and back down the lifts to ground level.
