Arathi Basin

Join the League of Arathor or the Forsaken Defilers as they battle for precious resources. Pitting 15 members of each faction against each other, the race is on to be the first to 2000 resources, capturing strategic landmarks around the Basin to increase your team’s gain and cripple the enemy. There’s never been a better time to join the war.

Arathi Basin will unlock at 11:00 p.m. CET on Wednesday, March 11.

Battleground Holidays

Most weeks, Warsong Gulch, Alterac Valley, and Arathi Basin now enjoy holidays that begin on Thursday night at midnight and continue until Tuesday morning. During a holiday, emissaries from that Battleground will be found in the major cities, and honor/faction rewards for performing objectives in that Battleground are increased.

• Hunter
  • Player-controlled pets now move in a straight line to their target when commanded to attack, rather than defaulting to behind the target.

  • Mana Tide Totem should now reliably deliver a fourth tick of Mana Tide.
• Warlock
