INSTANCE

Warsong Gulch was one of two Battleground Instance s introduced in Patch 1.5 of the MMORPG ''World of Warcraft''. Located in the southern region of the Ashenvale forest near the northern entrance to the Barrens , and each entrance guarded by many NPCs . The entrances to the battleground is either through Silverwing Outpost for Alliance or Warsong Lumber camp for Horde. The Silverwing Sentinels and the Warsong Outriders go to battle in this great Battleground!


GAMEPLAY

Warsong Gulch is a 20 man Capture The Flag Battleground Instance (10 per team). The objective of the match is to capture the opposing factions flag and return it to your base to win. This is one of two Battlegrounds (abbv. BG) to allow mid-level characters with BG instances for levels 10–19 (added in patch 1.8), 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, and 60 (brackets). The battleground area is evenly divided into two halves, one for Alliance and one for Horde. In order for a game to start there must be at least 5 players on each team.

  • Capture enemy flag and return it to players faction base 3 times. In order to score, the team must have its own flag in their possession.

  • Players defend base from opposing faction.

  • Added honor bonuses after flag returns to players faction base. This honor increases when you are in a higher level bracket (eg. A player in the 60 bracket would receive more honor per capture then someone in the 20–29 bracket).

  • Added reputation (faction) bonus when the flag is captured.

  • Experience is rewarded after player's faction is victorious in the BG. This also increases as you go into higher level brackets.

  • Take an insignia from an opposing player's body after they are killed to keep them from returning to their body.

  • 3 respawning Power-up s:

  • --- Berserking: Increases damage inflicted by 30%, received by 10% and character size by 10%.

  • --- Restoration: Restores 10% of health, mana, pet happiness a second for 10 seconds.

  • --- Speed: For 10 seconds speed is increased by 100%.


Upon victory the players are rewarded with 3 tokens, that may be given to an NPC outside of the instance to recive a reputation bonus.
After the release of Patch 1.7, one token is awarded when your faction is defeated. You can still turn in 3 tokens to get a reputation bonus (in other words, 3 defeats is the same reward as 1 win).

Some players are known to stay at the highest level of their tier group and collect the best weapons and armour to participate in Warsong Gulch at their characters highest ability. These characters are often refered to as 'twinks' by other players.
