And then there’s Crystalsong Forest. The zone where nothing happens. I’m not even kidding. There’s nothing going on in this zone. No quests, two completely meaningless flightpaths, and…I guess there’s some carrots for a cooking quest, and a daily from Icecrown has you cut down some trees here. But other than that, the zone barely exists.
Ok, that’s sort of a lie. Of sorts. Dalaran, the game’s hub city is hovering above Crystalsong, but that doesn’t really count. So other than passing through on your way to Dalaran or doing your dailies there is literally no reason to visit Crystalsong Forest. Well…it’s pretty.
Mining: None. You could technically say that some of the Cobalt from Dragonblight is technically in the Crystalsong zone, but it isn’t really.
Herbalism: None. Unless you count Crystalsong Carrots (you don’t).
Cloth: Frostweave. There are some Saytrs and mages in the zone who drop small amounts of Frostweave, but it isn’t worth trying to farm here.
Leather: Borean Leather. Yes, there are some Worgs and deer in the lower valley to kill if you’re horribly bored. Worth farming? No.
Crystalsong Forest was added late in development (it’s not even on the official release map of Wrath of the Lich King), and it shows in the zone’s design. A handful fo quests force you to pass through, but none make you stay, and there’s nothing much else going on here. There are two unfinished quest hubs with unnecessary flight paths. You’ll have to come here to get to Dalaran, but that’s it.
