Players will also be able to take part in a rotating series of new World Quests during this phase which provide additional opportunities to get great new loot to use in your ongoing adventures. There will also be plenty of new treasures hidden throughout the zone just waiting to be discovered. Controlling the zone will also provide access to a new faction-specific World Boss, rare creatures, and access to new gear, pets, mounts, and Warfront gear. Patrol PhaseДuring the Patrol phase, maximum-level players of the controlling faction who have completed an introductory questline will be able to participate in multiple new outdoor activities in the newly revamped Darkshore zone. Players will also gain new gear from the new Warfront (starting at item level 340), and players can take part in a quest once per Warfront cycle to obtain a higher item level piece of gear. For example: Rather than grant a buff to players, Essence of Storms will provide players with access to powerful transformations allowing them to take on alternate roles such as healing or tanking on the battlefield. On the Horde, your ultimate goal will be to wrest control of this key location in Kalimdor back from the Alliance, razing the landscape and ensuring the night elves canвЂ™t reclaim their homeland.ДЄs players storm this new Warfront, theyвЂ™ll notice some other changes that set it apart from the Battle for Stromgarde. Players who meet the minimum item-level requirement of 320 will be able to queue for the Battle for Darkshore Warfront as often as they would like while this phase is active.ДЄs the Alliance, your mission will be to reclaim Darkshore and undo the natural devastation caused by marauding Forsaken. And while this phase works much the same as it did with the Battle for Stromgarde, the new Darkshore Warfront offers a whole new experience-with new locations, troops, building types, objectives, and more. The Siege phase is when your faction can queue up for the Warfront instance. These quests will always include one to turn in either gold or War Resources, as well as two profession turn-ins. While there were previously 11 quests available at the start of the contribution cycle, there will instead be 3 available each day during this phase. With the release of Tides of Vengeance, weвЂ™re also changing the way the Contribute phase works for both Warfronts. YouвЂ™ll be able to track the progress of contributions for each in an updated UI so youвЂ™ll be able to easily see which phase each Warfront is in. To help support these dual efforts, weвЂ™re making some updates to the Warfront cycles and phases, and how each faction gains access to the Battle for Darkshore and Battle for Stromgarde.ДЇirst, each WarfrontвЂ™s cycle is completely independent from the other, and players will be able to contribute to either Warfront without impacting the other. With the addition of the Battle for Darkshore, there will be two battles for players to fight-and many resource contributions to be made to support the war efforts in both the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. WeвЂ™ve also shortened the cycle for the first two weeks of the Warfront so that players from both factions will have access to it and all its rewards prior to the holidays. Max-level Alliance players who complete the new opening storyline with Tyrande and the night elves will be immediately able to queue for the Battle for Darkshore Warfront, signaling the start of a new cycle of war as each faction contributes resources, launches their assault, and reaps the benefits of claiming Darkshore for their own. When Tides of Vengeance goes live, Darkshore will start in the hands of the Forsaken and the Horde-but it wonвЂ™t be long before the Alliance makes its first strike. Players of both factions will meet once more on the shores of Kalimdor to vie for control of this war-torn region. With the upcoming release of Tides of Vengeance, the war between the Horde and Alliance will arrive to a brand-new Warfront: The Battle for Darkshore. In the ashen shadow of Teldrassil, the night elves prepare to strike back against the Forsaken and reclaim their ancestral homeland.В .В .
