Darkspear Islands Battleground in WoW Forever
Battle for the Darkspear Islands is a new 15v15 Forever battleground. Our premade team fights here with your character up to Exalted with the DI faction. Four capture points and a flag in the center sit on the islands near Dustwallow Marsh. Each new capture point accelerates your team’s score toward the winning 2,000. The flag in the center of the map gives a one-time bonus of points when a player carries it to one of their team’s capture points.
A battlemaster in any capital city and the portal at the faction base in The Barrens will send your character into a fight. The Horde camp sits on the Merchant Coast north of Ratchet. Alliance forces maintain their base at Northwatch Hold. Faction quartermasters and NPCs with BG quests also stand there. This allows you to purchase a reward and accept a quest in a single visit to the base.
Darkspear Raiders and Theramore Expeditionary Force Rewards
The quartermasters (Creeg Bothunk for the Horde and Bryanna Embreeze for the Alliance) sell reputation rewards. They offer every blue reward (from Friendly trinkets to Revered weapons) in versions suitable for character levels 28 through 58. You won’t have to wait until you hit the level cap to get these rewards. Reputation tiers unlock gear by slot type:
- Friendly - trinkets
- Honored - rings, necklaces, and cloaks
- Revered - weapons and off-hand items
- Exalted - epic gloves and shoulders
The Exalted epic gloves come in an ilvl 55 version for level 50. Their second version and the shoulders of the same quality have an ilvl of 65 and require level 60. This allows you to cover the hand and shoulder slots with epics. Characters receive their faction tabard (Darkspear Battle Tabard for the Horde or Theramore Battle Tabard for the Alliance) by completing a short quest chain that Exalted unlocks. There is no mount among the rewards for this reputation.
Darkspear Islands Mark of Honor Turn Ins
The Alliance quest “Darkspear Islands Clash” and the Horde quest “Conflict at Darkspear Islands” each cost three DI marks for +150 reputation and Honor. You can turn in these quests to a Brigadier General or Warbringer outside the battlegrounds. Another quest at the faction base (“The Battle for Darkspear Islands!”) gives +200 reputation for a victory. Even a defeat brings you one mark versus three for the winner. You can also spend these marks (BoP, up to 30 per character) on some PvP gear.
