BasesBashal'aran

All constructed buildings are located here for spending Ferro and Madeira.

The War Chest is located here to collect stored Ferro and Madeira that gathers overtime.

Your Apito do Mestre de Voo (once upgraded) will transport you here.

Your commander is located here once Bashal'aran is captured and will remain here until you capture Lor'danel.

Horde Only: The Lumberjack's Axe can be obtained here, allowing you to harvest Madeira from certain trees around the Warfront.

Alliance Only: Unlike the Horde, you do not bring harm to the forest. instead, Madeira will passively be generated from Wisps and stored in the War Chest immediately after capturing Bashal'aran.

Lornesta MineFerro

While your team holds Lornesta Mine, Ferro is passively generated and stored for all players in their War Chest at Bashal'aran. The amount of resources currently stored in your War Chest is shown under your objectives as the value in parenthesis.

Additional Ferro can be found in Ore Chests located near and around the Mine as well as killing hostile NPCs around the area.

Upgrading the Tree of Life / Great Hall increases the rate of Ferro generation from the Mine.

A maximum of 200 Ferro can be stored in the War Chest.

Cinderfall GroveMadeira

While your team holds Cinderfall Grove, Madeira is passively generated and stored for all players in their War Chest at Bashal'aran. The amount of resources currently stored in the War Chest is shown under your objectives as the value in parenthesis.

Alliance Only: Capturing Cinderfall Grove enlists more aid from the Wisps which further increase the rate of Madeira generation in the War Chest.

Horde Only: Cinderfall Grove is NOT required to obtain the Lumberjack's Axe used to harvest Madeira from trees. The Axe is obtained at Bashal'aran.

Forlorn Crossing

Capturing Forlorn Crossing is required for your Siege vehicles to progress forward towards Lor'danel.

Gloomtide StrandFerro

Spend 100 Ferro here to summon a powerful Archdruid / Abomination NPC that will assist in the push towards Lor'danel.

Only 1 Archdruid / Abomination may be active at a time.

Ashwood DepotFerro

Spend 100 Ferro here to enter a Chimera / Bat with a vehicle UI and special abilities. (Despite the wings, it does not fly).

Capturing Ashwood Depot allows access to a quest to upgrade your Apito do Mestre de Voo to be usable in the Darkshore Warfront, which will take you back to your base at Bashal'aran.

Players may talk to an NPC at Ashwood Depot to take a flight to several other bases currently controlled by your team.

Capture of Ashwood Depot is required for your Siege vehicles to advance towards Lor'danel.

Lor'danel

Siege weapons are effective at taking out the 2 colossal guardians.

Enemy attack waves stop spawning once Lor'danel has been captured.

Tool Barrels can be found at Lor'danel to repair siege vehicles.

Once the Dredge Defenses have been destroyed, a flight to The Dredge can be taken nearby to reach the enemy commander.

Is the whistle upgrade permanent or just for that battle?

Comentário de Ghyndui

I know there's a flight path from near the front back to Bashal'aran.
However, is there a way to fly back to the front?
Once I've collected a bunch of mats to upgrade buildings, it's a real time-waster to have to ride all the way back to the front.

As far as I can tell, the Alliance doesn't have access to the axe in Darkshore.
