Darkspear Islands is a 15v15 battleground for levels 30–60. Queue at a capital-city battlemaster or at your faction’s portal on the Barrens coast.
Blizzard ↗Confirmed details
Horde uses the Darkspear Raiders base at Merchant Coast. Alliance uses the Theramore Expeditionary Force base at Northwatch.
Blizzard ↗How to use this
Hold the four capture points and carry the central flag to a base your team controls. The first team to reach 2,000 points wins.
