Strategy Guides

 

Warsong Gulch: Objective: grab opposing team's flag and take it to your base while your flag is not picked up. first to capture 3flags wins

Araithi Baisin: Objective: capture as many bases as you can while gaining resources, the more bases controlled, the more resources you get. the first team with 2000 resources wins

Alterac Vally: Objective: basically its taking bases that are closer to the opposing faction's base. the first group to kill the opposing factions general wins. Note: alliance usually win. at least all the battles I go to.

Eye of The Storm: Objective: Take as many bases as you can the more bases the more points you get. (this is sort of like Araithi Baisin) the only difference is is that there are only 4 bases on the map and a flag in the middle of the battlefield. if you pick up the flag and take it to your own faction's controlled base (s) you gain more points. first to 2000 points wins

Arena: Objective: basically its a battle to test your skills (and gain loot at 70 form arena points after you have an arena team) Note: all spells/abilities that have a cooldown of over 10mins will not be able to be used in the arena. this counts for potions too (any cooldown). entering the arena also cools down alll abilities/items that are under 10minute cooldown.

Battleground weekends: on weekends a specific battleground will have (double honor gain) this is the battleground you want to participate in for more honor. you can tell what weekend it is by looking around your capital cities.

Leaving battlegrounds: bored with a battleground or just want to leave it? no problem just type /AFK to leave the battleground (or if you are afk for 5mins and go auto-Afk) Warning: going out of battlegrounds while they are still in session will give a de-buff, making you not able to enter battlegrounds for 15minutes.

Unconfirmed: you can enter Arena with DESERTER still on.

For every battle you win in WSG/AV/AB/EOTS. you will get 3 marks of honor, for ever battle you lose you get on they are unuice(100) so you can carry 100 of each. you can use these by buying PVP rewards along with paying honor points with them.

i would avoid PVPing in 10-19 and 20-29 because there are many twinks in these level ranges, which i think just ruins the gameplay of the battleground. but if you want some easy honor to get an armor upgrade from a PVP reward go ahead =)

Level for BGs: Warsong gulch 10+, Araithi Baisin 20+, Alterac vally 50+, Eye of the storm 61+, Arena 10+

I hope that this guide has helped you better understand the gameplay of each of the battlegrounds.


Whoops forgot to add: Warsong gulch is 10man, Araithi Baisin is 15man, Alterac vally is 40man, Eye of The Storm is 15man, and Arena can consist of 2, 3, and 5.
