Trueshot Lodge
Last wiki revision 2022-11-03
The Trueshot Lodge is the home base of an ancient order of hunters known as the Unseen Path. The Lodge was originally built by night elves and tauren working together on Talon Peak in Highmountain, specifically after Namuria Gladesong and Arien Highmountain joined forces, seeking to specifically guard against the Legion's eventual return. It serves as the order hall for hunters.
Talon Peak was known by another name that has not been mentioned. The site was blessed by Ohn'ahra herself through Talonclaw and thus inspired the change.
A large book located at the east side of the lodge. This tome starts blank, but will grow to hold the lore, history and powers of the hunter artifacts as the player funnels order hall resources into it. Every two work orders provides a new page in the tome. Holt Thunderhorn is the artifact researcher.
- Tales of the Hunt
The Artifact Forge is prominently located inside the lodge. It allows players to upgrade their artifact as well as change its appearance. Altar Keeper Biehn can refund artifact power.
- Altar of the Eternal Hunt
The watchtowers of Talon Peak: the south tower, north tower, and northeast tower. Originally constructed as traditional night elf stone towers, only the south tower has survived the centuries intact. The other two were apparently damaged beyond repair, and were instead replaced by the Highmountain tauren with the smaller, 'scaffold-style' towers that they use.
- Three Talons
- Sub-zones
- Gladiator's Sanctum: A small circular arena ground on the eastern side, where applicants to the order are trained.
- Den of the Seeker: A medium-sized icy cave inside the very peak of Talon Peak. Inside, Ogdrul is trapped in a rune circle.
As the new leader of the Unseen Path, at Order Advancement Tier 2 the hero can gain access to a network of Great Eagles which connects all the regions with a great eagle nesting site.
- Notes
- There is no gold cost associated with these flightpaths.
- The eagles do not fly straight to the destination, except for Dalaran, it flies in a circular pattern around the isles until landing at a nesting site.
- Eagle Feathers are found at each nesting site to provide a slow fall to the ground.
- There is a great eagle located in Dalaran, which acts as a visual representation of the teleport to Trueshot Lodge, through Talua. When clicked on before Patch 7.1.0 it would say that it had no connecting flight paths. It no longer causes this error.
- In patch 7.3.0 Dalaran became part of the network, but only as a destination from the lodge. It is seemingly redundant as the Lodge has a direct portal to the city on its second floor.
- Prior to patch 7.2 the Flight Master's Whistle would transport hunters to a Great Eagle if it was the closest flight path.
- Trueshot Lodge is one of the few Order Halls that can be reached by other classes.
- When you enter the zone as a non-Hunter, the player will receive a debuff and shortly after be teleported to Nesingwary's Retreat, Highmountain flight point.

- The building looks a lot like the Hunter's Hall in Warcraft III.
- Several weapons from previous expansions are prominently hung up on the walls of Trueshot Lodge. These include:
- Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle
- Scythe of the Unseen Path
- Hellscream's Warbow
- Flintlocke's Blasthammer
- Archon Glaive
- Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury
- Bristleblitz Striker
- Ranseur of Hatred
- Hemet's Trophy Gun
- Fang Kung, Spark of Titans
- Ancient Amani Longbow
- Arrowsong
- Gar'an's Brutal Spearlauncher
- Bo-Ris, Horror in the Night
- Zod's Repeating Longbow
- Black Bow of the Betrayer
- The Black Bow of the Betrayer and Zod's Repeating Longbow were initially covered up by tapestries towards the entrance to Trueshot Lodge. The Black Bow was later moved above the Scouting Map and the Longbow just above the entrance.
- When trying to enter the area around Trueshot Lodge as a non-hunter, the Eagle Sentinel buff and the following message will appear:
- bossemote
- If you persist in trying to enter, you will be teleported to Nesingwary's Retreat.
