Warfront: the PvP realm

The level-60 PvP realm: pick a kit, gear up by tier, queue arenas and duel ladders, and collect bounties.

Warfront is a separate PvP realm where everyone is level 60 and ready to fight. Its window appears only on Warfront; on other realms it stays hidden. Until it opens, the website shows it as coming soon.

Your first login: pick a kit #

On your first login a window welcomes you and asks you to pick a kit: a level-60 class and spec loadout for your faction with pre-enchanted gear (for example, an Arms Warrior in Field Marshal's plate). Open the window again any time with /wf (or /warfront, /kit).

Gear tiers and the shop #

  • Gear picker (/wf gear): three tiers, Starter, Tier 2 and Tier 3. Higher tiers unlock with arena rating or honorable kills.
  • Shop (/wf shop): consumables for gold.
  • Shared sets (/wf sets): save up to 10 sets and share them; others can vote, and three reports hide a set.

Kits, gear and the shop can't be used in combat, while dead, inside an instance or while queued.

Arenas and the duel ladder #

Open the arena tab with /arena (or /wf arena). Level 60 only; the party leader queues the party.

CommandQueue
/arena s22v2 Skirmish
/arena s33v3 Skirmish
/arena r22v2 Rated
/arena r33v3 Rated
/arena d11v1 Duel Ladder
/arena leaveLeave the queue

When the queue pops you get a 60-second preparation countdown, then Fight! Live queue counts (battlegrounds too) refresh every 10 seconds.

Kill streaks and bounties #

Long kill streaks are announced in chat and put a bounty on the player; take them down and you'll see Bounty collected. During bot-fill hours the realm fills battlegrounds with bots; you're told when you enter, and bots never count for streaks or bounties.
