Ratchet is a town in the video game World of Warcraft Classic. It is part of the Barrens region, specifically situated in the eastern part of the zone known as the Northern Barrens. As such, Ratchet is known as one of the primary locations for Horde players during the early levels of progression in WoW Classic.
Ratchet is neutral, meaning players from both the Horde and the Alliance can communicate with the NPCs and utilize the vendors, trainers, and other amenities.
It has a goblin-run ship that provides transit to and from Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale. This makes Ratchet a vital transportation hub, especially for Horde players, as it provides a much safer and quicker route to the Eastern Kingdoms than traveling through contested land.
Ratchet also serves as a focal point for numerous quests and has become infamous for its role in the cross-faction rivalry PvP (Player vs. Player).
