You do not need to enter Darnassus itself, it's outside the entrance

Also note that if you DO happen to die tryin to get the flame that running across the ocean to get to your corpse is a big no no.

Doing so will result in your ghost being fatigued and then dying again (yes you die as a ghost) and then leaving you with no choice but to spirit rez

I learned the hard way =/

It wasn't that bad on Horde side doing this either. I just did it on my druid.

For both Stormwind and Ironforge it is advised to get to the tram as fast as possible. Dying your way through Ironforge front gates takes a long time. Stormwind was easy when I took the tram.

Stormwind you should navigate via the waterway. You shouldn't have too much trouble, plus you can sneak right up and out of sight of the majority of players who are guarding it. I just went from the tram to the nearest water and swam the whole way popping up and taking that flag.

Ironforge is straight forward, run and die. It took a lot of times dying to do that. Eventually you get there. I would take the tram and save a lot of deaths that way. There is one or two patrolling guards. They seem to both leave at the same time so it is easy to time it.

Darnassus is hard to tell. Sneaking played a big roll in me figuring it out. I snuck on the boat, and then snuck up to the fire. It's outside the town so it should be easy to get to. Hiding beneath the bridge is advisable, but make sure there are no guards walking on it first.

Last thing to be noted is that I got 4950exp from each flame I turned in and then another 4950 exp from getting the crown. A nice 20k exp benefit is a fairly good motivator for most people.

I hope this saves a few people some trouble. Good Luck to you all.

On non-PvP realms, this flame can be picked up while unflagged, since it's not actually inside Darnassus. The only hard part, then, is making sure a guard doesn't path into you while you do it.

The Sundering has done an impressive job of outdating lots of previously reliable knowledge, including this comment. Darnassus' flame has been moved from Ruth'theran Village to the Warrior's Terrace inside the city. No more "freebie" non-flagging flame for the Horde.

(It may still be the easiest to get. There's no thickets of NPCs on the ground waiting for you, the sky patrols are rather easily avoided, and it's one of the emptiest cities in the game. As someone who could fly, I suffered much more getting all the other flames.)

The Darnaussus flame was the easiest for me because there wasn't a single Alliance guarding it for some odd reason. For the horde that don't know which boat to take for Darnaussus, when you are walking down the dock you take a right and wait for the boat there. You could also call that north. or northeast.

The flame is not inside Darnaussus, it is right outside, when you get off the boat continue down the dock and take a right if you don't already see it. Its a real piece of cake for me when I was level 67.

The other flames are...
Ironforge's Flame
Stormwind's Flame
Exodar's Flame

If you're gonna steal the 'flame' from an ELF city, you'll be needing several trips!
