The following sections of this Guide tell our readers what to do once the event is triggered and how to play on each side of the battle.
The alliance side, the same as at the Warsong Gulch, is presented by Night Elves’ guardians – Silverwing Sentinels. Alliance characters fight on their side and rank up reputation level with that faction. Elves guide their defenders to the three main spots:
Each campsite stands in front of the enemy spot, and one of the main tasks the Sentinel side has – is to enforce each enemy base and kill horde lieutenants located there. After clearing the enemy bases and killing guardians, Far Seer Kazragore, the Horde boss, becomes vulnerable. Alliance characters need to kill him to win the confrontation. Kazragore guides outriders to the battlefield and commands them from a place near Talondeep Path at the 39.6, 66.0 coordinates.
Characters gain a reputation with Silverwing Sentinels after killing Horde NPCs: elites mobs awards 15 reputation points, and Blademasters 200 points. Victory in battle brings 200 points, and each survived Keeper of the Grove provides 100 rep more. By following all the points of the Guide, gamers could raise their reputation by as much as 1300 points per battle.
