@Bloodshrike: Thanks for the heads up on the Alliance equivalent of the Thunder Bluff spot. I was going to ask about that in the post and it slipped my mind.

I’d just like to add I had an easier time with the torch juggling by turning my shadows to the lowest setting (not all the way off but one above that). What this does is rather than seeing a small shadow of a torch, instead you see a large circle that represents the torch instead. When I did this it was much easier to actually see the shadow. The original and correct shadow was much too small.

One other thing I like to do to make it easier is to turn around as I am catching, or just before, that way you have a quick start in whichever direction the next one goes.

Hey, I saw your site featured on WoW.com, and thought I’d take a look.

Like you, I’ve found Thunderbluff to be the best place to park all my Horde alts so that they can get 2 free bubbles of XP per day. Orgrimmar’s streets tend to lose the shadow of the torch, and Undercity isn’t very fun either. I seem to remember Silvermoon being decent.

On Ally side, I’ve found Ironforge to be the best for Torch Catching. It always sends the torch sailing towards the Great Forge on the first toss, then you usually go back and forth between the pillars there.
Stormwind isn’t fun, as you’re hemmed in by a canal, a wagon, and the Stockades. So you’ll go for a long toss, then suddenly you have a very short one to deal with.
Darnassus had the same problems as Orgrimmar, I kept losing the shadow.
