Roads in World of Warcraft | Pointless Top 10

[@貓吃]

Planks in the road is old-school from when people traveled in wagons. The planks helped make the road passable when there was bad weather. Without the planks the roads wouldn't be travelable during wet weather.

[@turencmpressor4152]

this comment better gets pinned

[@keithkinney5025]

It mainly keeps the road or trail from eroding away. Usually high travel areas with little vegetation. Rain will wash out and leave "pot holes," getting bigger over time. Also in flood areas.

[@vtr0104]

There you are...

[@bearfishman3566]

Yeah it's to make it so it does not get muddy

[@seeker296]

it still helps with bad weather. When the road erodes or turns to mud, the planks are still supported by the land adjacent to the road, so they form a solid/stable surface to stand on. adds longevity as erosion develops

[@hunterdavis9941]

"feralas roads are nice and relaxing" immediately shows horrified statue with glowing eyes on said road

[@rb1051]

I know right lol

[@rb1051]

Anyone else not play WoW for years but still watches Crendor?

[@theorbalor]

Nah, just you

[@Mr_M_1]

Yeah

[@TheShadowHatter]

Honestly seeing this TOP 10 makes me wish Fishing with Crendor was changed to WALKING with Crendor. Instead of AFK fishing they just walk around the world itself and explore whilst they chat it up. Enjoy the sights and talk as if they're actual characters in Azeroth.

[@me56ize]

TheShadowHatter great idea

[@breebrazel2920]

I need this

[@LeDingueDeJeuxVideos]

New series ?

[@jordanweir7187]

this is a brilliant idea, i'd pay

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

I would be 100% okay with this. lol

[@AndyMHinchcliffe]

I love a good pointless top 10, I’ve missed these

[@AndyMHinchcliffe]

I haven’t played WoW since cataclysm but I still find myself watching videos about it all the time. Answer me honestly my friends, is it worth coming back to? Because with everything that’s happened since I stopped playing it seems like a dumbed down diluted version of the game

[@propsko2689]

when did you quit? It also depends on how you used to play the game. (pvp or pve, group or solo)

[@AndyMHinchcliffe]

Propsko I quit a couple weeks after I hit 85 in cata dude. End game raiding never really grabbed me that much, I just did it when I had nothing left to do. I really enjoyed the grind of levelling up how I remember it. Also I played with my friends from vanilla - wrath. I think I’m more of a solo player (not the best thing in an mmo, I admit) but I still loved doing dungeons, I never really had time for raiding because I was a kid with school and homework to do 😂

[@propsko2689]

Well, end game raiding has become alot easier to get into. The questing has improved since wrath, but you'll get through them quicker, as the game isn't really about leveling anymore. The leveling is still alot of fun though, and there is so much more detail than before.

[@arielsadventuregames8267]

Pointless top 10: abandoned fishing sites. There’s a lot of chairs with fishing poles (and skeletons) scattered around the world, might be fun to showcase those?

[@Lightning_Lance]

Never before noticed that the Barrens road had semi-circle patterns in it until you showed a close-up. Now I can't unsee it.

[@cyberruck]

This is the song of my people

[@omulnes6109]

If you can do, make top 10 pointless mounts, beasts, rivers and so on.

[@omulnes6109]

Just throwed some ideas here and there.

[@graudenzo8547]

Could do one on treasure chests in the newer zones. Like I know the one where you have to kill the BIrd to get the key in drustvar is pretty neat

[@MaximumBooger]

Pointless critters, pointless toys...

[@turencmpressor4152]

+Smokypok Ashes of Al'ar; Invinceble; Rivendare's Deathcharger; Swift Razashi Raptor; Gray Kodo and so on All pointless The only useful mount is "Running Wild"

[@pavelaubrecht1761]

@@turencmpressor4152 Yeah who needs paying for mounts and training when you can drop on all four and run. WORGENS ARE JUST THAT OP!!!!

[@Oxy80111]

Was sad to see the path of glory not make an appearance. Kick ass road that totally deserved some attention. In hellfire peninsula, connects the stair of destiny and the dark portal to the hellfire citadel. Also appears to be made of corpses. Metal as fuck.

[@Noobie2k7]

Pointless top 10: Bridges though when?

[@moddydhu2939]

Darkwallow marsh. Darkwallow? Theramore zone.

Pointless Top 10: Memorials / Graves? Did you do that yet? With upcoming Warfronts, there might be a specific one you might enjoy among the ones already there.

[@jankalukacova3360]

people who let a song play till the end in their videos should be awarded some prize

[@KasseemBear]

I don't know why I like this series so much. Haven't play WoW in years.

[@xHe11houndx]

Only Crendor can talk about roads for 10 minutes and make it entertaining

[@pwnsyou82]

Crendor, you are my favorite youtuber. Never stop the pointless top 10.

[@sherielowe4256]

I just found you , pure genius. Love you!

[@Taalsman]

Just pick off all the clover leafs til there is one left, so yeah.. exsists

i think thats mugwort maybe

I miss the days when he'd actually say the numbers, that was hilarious!

"I picked Feralas's roads because they are nice and relaxing..." *carved up giant wood log with a face of terror and green glowing eyes sitting right beside the road*

[@SaltySnelly]

Missed an easy one with the road in arathi basin how many times have I seen “Don’t fight on the road”

[@hammar1997]

Take a shot every time crendor mentions cobblestone!

[@BlueberryFundip]

Murderer

[@cujoedaman]

My #1 is the road in Ashenvale. After you leave Dark Shore, you're presented with this huge forest and the music just really sets the mood. It's my "nostalgic" pick because it was there that I realized "I didn't know a world this big could exist in a game", though today I'm humbled and the world does seem a lot smaller :P

[@Deeveeaar]

Especially in classic after you spend weeks in darkshore which had an amazing vibe too. Theong travel all the way trough darkshore into ashenvale is incredible

[@williamp.5253]

I think the road from the dark portal to hellfire citadel in hellfire peninsula atleast deserves an honorable mention. That thing is literally paved with the bones of dead Draenei. Also, give me top 10 trees, top 10 flowers, top 10 lakes, top 10 campfires, and maybe top 10 boats please. I live for this content

[@blackerpanther3329]

Some of my favorite videos to watch, thanks wowcrendor

[@nathanrossi3963]

I've been watching you for like 4 years

[@MegaChickenfish]

10:13 This is why in the Grizzly Hills Ambience video, which is one of the most popular, it's almost all slow panning shots *of the roads.* Because they're *so good.*

[@06dogb]

lol I though this was going to be a video Top 10 pointless roads, i misunderstood the title

[@askaflamininja]

Holy Crap I have wondered for so long whichever were the best roads. So long.

[@norad_clips]

3:10 I’ve hiked in various parks where they place little sections of wooden planks where the terrain is uneven or where rainfall erodes the natural trail.

[@AndyBlue297]

Without doubt the best road in WoW is the Path of the Titans imo, the interesting old broken road that goes from Ulduar all the way down through Storm Peaks and Crystalsong Forest to Wyrmrest Temple and then mysteriously into the ocean

[@MatthewSchellGaming]

Maybe because I'm Alliance but Deadwind Pass would be on my list.

[@angrychicken2874]

Matthew Schell lmao yeah, the whole zone is a bridge between dusk wood and swamp of sorrows

[@drakozash8153]

Hm, crendor likes the color green. He must miss legion.

[@Azalen24]

Crendor, how's that traffic out there?

[@FishizzleBoy]

Drinking game! Take a shot everytime Crendor says "Cobblestone" xD

[@kimmern999]

I'll try that tomorrow. You might not hear from me again.

[@tuckerbrady4846]

Wowcrendor we love you!

[@andrewparsons2391]

MY TOP 10 WoW Roads- 10. Path of Glory (Hellfire Peninsula) relatively short, stretching from the Dark Portal to Hellfire Citadel, this road is patrolled by demons, demonic orcs, and is particullary infamous for it's ...paving material. 9. Path of the Titans (Dragonblight) probably the oldest road on this list, a wide avenue that rises up from the sea as an ancient shattered bridge, this leads to and through Wrymrest temple and dead-ends among the great walls of ice and rock that conceals the entrance to Crystalsong Valley. 8. Old Nelf Road (Darkshore, Ashenvale, Azshara) About half of the entire modern Kaldorei territories can be experienced along this walk through primal woodlands. The Felwood-Winterspring-Hyjal Road is most of the other half. 7. Suramar City Limits (Suramar) This broad semicircle of white marble is shorter than most others on this list, but demarcated the boundry between the nightborne capital and its outer wilds for 10,000 years. 6. King's Highway (Eastern Plagelands, Western Plaguelands, Tirisfal Glades, Silverpine Forest, Hillsbrad Foothills, Arathi Highlands) Starting at Strathholme and ending at Hammerfall, this on is probably the longest road on this list, it was once the life's blood of the kingdom of Lordaeran. Before the dark times. Before the Emp... er, Scourge. 5. Valley of the Four Winds. (Valley of the Four Winds) Stretching the length of the beautiful, (kinda) peaceful farmlands of Pandaria, don't miss the Halfhill markets for the freshest giant produce! 4. Stormwind Loop (Redridge Mountains, Elwyn Forest, Westfall, Duskwood) Serves the greatest living human kingdom much as it's northern counterpart the King's Highway once did. 3. Barrens Road (North-South Route) (Ashenvale, Barrens) Leads from verdant forests to a great (currently flooded) valley of One Thousand Needles, passing by miles and miles of savannah along the way. 2. Durator Run (Durator) From the Valley of Trials at the southern tip of the land, young orcs make their way north to the capital of Orgrimmar, passing by and through many important Durator locations along the way. Especially noteworthy from a visual standpoint is the harpy-infested cliffs just north of Razor Hill. 1. Stranglethorn Road (Duskwood, Stranglethorn Vale) GODDAMN DID I HATE HAVING TO RUN THIS THING ON MY WAY TO BOOTY BAY DURING CLASSIC ON A PVP SERVER

[@BlueberryFundip]

I missed this series 😍😍😍

[@bobobserver8990]

Looking forward to seeing what other things you see from exploring BfA. I know I've let myself get lost and forgotten about quests to look around. In the desert I found a troll exile camp with a journal you can read up in the south west mountains. Has a nice view of the ocean. And in Zuldazar that crescent moon shaped bay on the west coast has troll ruins with the Tortollan hanging out under water. Doubt I'm the first person to find these places, but they are definitely reasons to explore. Perhaps my favorite spot so far though is the cove just east of the port. Standing on the beach the view feels like it should be a postcard for Zandalar.

"It's like a goblin highway of road," - Crendor 2018

[@TrigunKittie]

I love this series so much, thank you for posting another video!

[@AcidTripOk]

This is the quality content I seek in a WoW video.

[@BellaRainDrops]

Soooo many good roads in wow

[@onurkpolat7296]

You should do top 10 zone transitions (like going from one zone to another zone)

[@MrDwightSchrute]

I miss these. Bring them back! Please!

[@SunniestTater]

I was sure the road between Valley of the Four Winds and Kun Lai Summit would be on here, that one is my personal favorite!!

[@HiddenEvilStudios]

Think the planks might be to cover potential pot holes so if you were to ride a runehorn wagon up or down those streets, you won't break an axle.

[@HoodedLefty]

I’m new to WoW so it’s nice to see some place for me and my goblin to explore

[@TheGriff130]

I love these videos no matter how long its been since i played always watch these

[@mudshrooze]

You had a lot of my favorites on this one including Dun Morogh

[@loremastersolaric3638]

Now this is the quality non-content I stayed subscribed for.

[@thevoidborn7524]

YOUVE DONE ROADS BUT NOT BRIDGES YET????? Seriously though I'm get so happy whenever I see a new video of this series!

[@1Yooter]

Elwynn Forest road will always be my favorite. My first character was a human back in 2007, and back then it was like being sucked into something the likes of Lord of the Rings.

[@jzmmm]

Often whilst travelling on land, i like to pan the camera down at character height. It gives a much nicer perspective of the grandness of each zone. When running around with your camera up in the sky looking down at your character, every thing looks a bit flat.

[@snootycapybara3683]

Wooden planks on dirt roads, basically like patching a pothole in pavement, or for areas that tend to collect water/wash away in rain

[@MarkofQuad]

Having just started playing WoW, I look forward to walking down all these roads eventually :)

[@henrikh3089]

Planks on roads are mostly used in swampy areas, to keep the road solid. However there are no swamps in Stormheim.

[@Shan-js3hn]

Crendor, planks on roads in mountains is usually because there's dirt that gets wet and is awful to walk through. So it's to make an easier path.

[@TheOJDrinker]

Came from the podcast... was expecting the 10 most pointless roads. DIsappointed.

[@pavelaubrecht1761]

How can you do flying shots in stormsong valley?there is no flying yet. I'm just curious,that's all

[@HyperFerret93]

Pick your difficulty. Take a shot when he says: Easy: Nostalgia, nostalgic Normal: Dirt Hard: Cobblestones Extreme: Road(s)

[@madchessLeviathan]

personal favourites from that list would be valley of the 4 winds, dun morogh and grizzly hills for the first time experience. I would have added my personal favourite the track up over the redridge mountain zone between burning steppes and swamp of sorrows, sadly it is a road with no mops, critters or enen gatherable stuff like mines or herbs I wish they would put a few surprises there at one point. Also really like the track from loch modan to wetlands.

[@Lucas-qo5go]

Was having a rough day at work till I saw this new pointless top ten

[@jordanweir7187]

Grizzly hills is a special zone imo, so many people love it even many years later, holding up to today's graphics standards even now.

[@joev9794]

The road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began...

[@DanielJohnsen200]

There are some like nature roads like the stormheim where I live (Norway) with planks and all. The reason for the planks is to cover holes or sinkholes or if it's very wet along a road.

[@Mikeztarp]

What about the Path of the Titans, in Dragonblight?

[@sannim.3182]

I just love the pointless top 10 series!

[@mudshrooze]

Shadowmoon Valley in Dreanor is utterly stunning

[@darkninjacorporation]

Dude it’s been so long since I’ve seen a pointless top 10 I was thinkin “how can a road be pointless they just take you places-“ then I watched the intro like “OH ITS MY BOY CRENDOR!”

[@sydalg95]

Planks on walking roads help when the mud comes after the snow in the north! Less missing boots that way!

[@asanjawa]

My timeline is blessed by this video

[@GrimJRS]

Planks are often used to reinforce certain areas, such as muddy ground after rain.

[@colnagocowboy]

They are called corduroy roads often used as an expediant or on swampy terrain

[@Minihood31770]

I only played for a free trial back in Cataclysm, and I think I remember going to Ironforge on that path.

[@localdingus6788]

I think that plank thing is done over slippery parts of a path for traction. I have seen it before in real life on mountain paths and some very old dirt roads.

[@nathanrossi3963]

I love you wowcrendor

[@destroybiscuits2485]

Crendor has inspired me to make a pointless top 10 roads video in ESO because who doesn't like talking about roads??

[@DemonPlayDemonOut]

I always assumed the planks were to prevent erosion since they're usually only on inclines.

[@stargazer3626]

Its 3 in the morning and I'm watching a 10 minute video on roads in World of Warcraft... Ha, yeah I may need too make some new life choices.

[@molinaf1cation]

In Florida, there's these plants which grow kinda like lilly pads which look like that.

[@Arathreas]

Dreadwind pass is my uncontested number one with Grizzly Hills in a fair number two. I mean come on. Dreadwind pass itself is just nothing but a road. I remember my first time exploring duskwood and I went into this cool and dangerous pass and then the spiders came and I ran for my life. Another honorable mention would be the path up to Kun-Lai summit.

[@NightmareCrab]

Inside pointless things theres treasure INDEED. This video was so damn chill

[@dethndots]

Damn, you got me again with the 1 1/2

[@dweindorff]

On steep mountain paths like this the wood would be to provide traction and to help with erosion and mudslides.

[@mrs.alienrope5778]

Top 10 trees or mountains or galleries or deserts?

[@redoctane13]

Grizzley Hills is my favorite zone all in all, next to stormsong. Mostly for the music honestly.

[@michaelsotomayor5001]

dude crendor.. you're one awesome human being :D

[@rayizard5687]

Wooden planks are placed on roads and paths in areas where water collects so the path doesn't wash out

[@DieSerah]

a Top 10 List i can get Behind !

[@spiritfree5050]

When it Rains the dirt road becomes very Muddy and when you try to move over them with horse and carriage you can get stuck so every few meter you have some planks to give you traction so you don't get stuck when it rains

[@mudshrooze]

But hey maybe a Top Ten dungeons if you haven't done that? Or a top ten non marked locations. Like little rooms or something you like

[@Snufkin224]

Why are there roads when everyone flies?

[@tonsowow2489]

Gratz for the dune scavanger

[@J0NB11O6]

Im tired.... I read the title as top 10 pointless roads xD love the video nonetheless

[@Mayhemzz]

Crendor I have an idea for the 100th Pointless top 10 you should do Pointless top 100 things (all things any things every things) in WoW.

[@chriscunningham6401]

Has anyone else flown to the top of the sword in BFA? It felt like a very Vanilla moment when I flew to the top to explore and see if there were any achievements or critters up there (but mainly just wanted to do it once). I didn't time it, but it had to of least been a minute-long fall to the bottom (I had a parachute, don't mourn for me).

[@moldveien1515]

The wood planks we have in Norway on dirt roads. It over small pits and holes beacuse of the deep mus that it becomes when it rains.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

10/10; Would walk these roads again.
