Venture Bay is a harbor located in the southwestern coastal area of Grizzly Hills, on the continent of Northrend. The harbor, one of the few Grizzly Hills has, was being used by the Venture Company as a base for mining and clear-cutting operations until the war against the Lich King, where it became a center of conflict between Alliance and Horde over its control.[1]
Following the war against the Jailer, the harbor was reported to once again be under the control of the Venture Company and that the Horde and Alliance had ceased fighting there.[2]

PvP
The Venture Bay lighthouse is located in the very south end of the bay. It is caught through PvP means similar to the Broken Hill, The Stadium and The Overlook in Hellfire Peninsula - you must be on the ground near the lighthouse while flagged for PvP (flying does not count). Further, changing ownership does not automatically replace all NPCs of one faction with those of the other. Instead it spawns elite NPCs from the new faction, which then battle the previous faction elites.
The faction in control is given access to a fourth PvP daily quest and the NPC who trades Honor Points for gear.
Quests
Venture Bay normally offers three daily quests to both factions, each rewarding 50 
.
- [15-30G Daily] Down With Captain Zorna!/ [15-30G Daily] Crush Captain Brightwater!
- [15-30P Daily] Keep Them at Bay!/ [15-30P Daily] Keep Them at Bay
[15-30 Daily] Smoke 'Em Out
An additional daily quest is offered at the lighthouse for the faction currently in control.
- [15-30 Daily] Riding the Red Rocket
Venture Coin Vendors
Before patch 4.0.1, Venture Coins were rewarded for completing the PvP quests, and used to purchase gear from the Venture Coin Vendor. The venture coins have been replaced with Marks of Honor since then.
