Darkspear Islands: overview
Darkspear Islands is a 15-versus-15 battleground off Dustwallow Marsh for levels 30โ60. Hold four capture points to generate score, then carry the central flag to a base your team controls for extra points. The first team to 2,000 wins.
Queue at a capital-city battlemaster or use the faction bases in the Barrens: Darkspear Raiders at Merchant Coast for Horde, and Theramore Expeditionary Force at Northwatch for Alliance. These bases also offer quests and reputation vendors.
Protect held objectives while a smaller group contests the flag. Call incoming attacks early and escort the carrier rather than leaving an undefended base for a chase. Marks of Honor support reputation quests, with an Exalted questline awarding a faction tabard.
