Yes… because I really did try to do this too! For those who have not been yet, you get a quest early on in Vashj’ir that gives you under water breathing. It doesn’t even show up in your spell book, but you get the buff for [sea legs] or something like that, making you breath under water and run fast on the bottom. Of course… one would think you could just use it anywhere, even along the coasts of Azeroth… cause you know, it’s the same ocean and all… but alas, the spell seems to only work in one place.
To be honest though, I really like the new underwater area visually, but HATED questing there! Swim here, swim there, your turtle goes slower than the sea horse that you get from a quest, and instead of only worrying about mobs on the ground, they’re surrounding you completely. What’s worse, is the quest structure! I finished the quests, or at least I think I did and they just stop! I swam around and around for a follow up or any indication on where to go next, but I couldn’t find anything… So I hoped a portal to Hyjal. I hear it’s a bit better up there quest-wise.

You know you get water breathing buff after 3-5 quest in 1K
and fell like i am the only one who love Vashj’ir
really? is that permanent or just a temp buff? and is it usable outside 1k?
ha! maybe so! but I had such high hopes for my under sea adventures… merboars, singing fish, bragging rights for having an awesome turtle, swimsuit armor… but alas, my hopes overshot the reality a little. guess nothing quite compares when you really wanted to ride merboars around…
Is permanent and only in 1k and work like in Vashj’ir
ah… well darn! guess there’s nothing permanent then. >\
I hear kissing merboars lets you breath under water!
Admittedly I am an Alt-oholic; having 8 lvl 80s at the start of Cata. I did Vashj’ir first and loved it more than Hyjal, so i ran all my alts through it first. After a while it became the best place to farm because everyone else seemed to hate it.
Eh, I gave it a fair shake… but it’s just not the place for me.
oddly enough whenever I fly over Hyjal, I find TONS of ore and no people. dunno if it’s a phase thing or nobody is on the server… or heck, they’re probably all 85 by now.
Looks like his bubble doesn’t hold any air!
you know, I’ve always wondered how much air one of those bubble things could hold! like, even a DI last(ed) 3min… so lets get some mathy type peoples on the case! I’d guess it’d hold only like 10min of breathable air, but that’s based on pretty much nothing. >)
yeah… ok… I totally did the math on this too! XD
So, based off of average Belf height of 6’1″, approximated bubble size (for a male belf) of 76.28 cubic feet, and use of a calculation based on air vol and average CO2 exhalation)…
A Belf can survive in a bubble for 1 hour 21 minutes before dying from CO2 poisoning. Pretty impressive number I must say.
I’d venture to give that a small tweek, since there’s a body in there. The best I can estimate is, on average, a male Belf is 2.3 ft cubed in volume, so that leaves less air… crunch some numbers aaaaaand… the best adjusted approximation would be 1 hour 18 minutes of breathable air for an average sized Blood Elf without armor.
