Iceblood Days


One of the problems of being a high-ranking mage is that most of the challenges out there in the world are either too easy or else so hard they require a team of adventurers to complete. Not so the “battlegrounds” that dot Azeroth where between 10 and 40 warriors of the Alliance can compete against a similar number of the horde. My personal preference is for Alterac Valley, the largest of the combat grounds but also the one best suited to building a reputation. Like all BGs, it rewards teamwork but being a solo combatant is less of a hurdle - provided everyone still has some idea of what they’re doing. And there lies the rub; some people like to just fight rather than achieving the objectives (and its the most objective-driven BG) and if lots of people get involved in the HK hunt it can be a disaster.
