THE REALM

A battlefield
worth holding.

Field of Strife is a persistent faction war in Alterac Valley, with no scheduled character or equipment resets.

Classic Alterac Valley map: Dun Baldar to the north, the Field of Strife at the center, and Frostwolf Keep to the south. — Alterac Valley · The original battlefield. Our realm uses its own capture points and faction services. Map artwork credits.

Your cave is the beginning

Start at level 70 in your faction cave. Eligible class-trainer ranks are learned automatically; talents remain your choice. The starter system supplies a T3-era foundation. Release Spirit returns you to your faction cave, keeping you close to the fight.

Capture territory. Open routes.

Ten capture-to-travel objectives form a network across the valley. Interact with a flag, keep attackers present and defend the capture. Control unlocks faction travel; an assault disables that destination for both sides. Saved ownership survives restarts, while unfinished assaults are cancelled.

Earn your next upgrade

Qualifying opposing-player kills in AV reward damage and healing contributors with gold. Repeated kills of the same opponents have diminishing returns. Progression vendors offer level-70 blues, arena gear and raid equipment. Captures currently provide travel value, not gold.

Visit your faction mall

Cave portals lead to protected faction malls: Scarlet Monastery Cathedral for the Alliance and the Zul'Gurub altar platform for the Horde. Gear vendors, repair services, reagents and the Pet Master are there. A return portal brings you to the cave; travel masters connect you to controlled objectives. Combat rewards and objectives stay in Alterac Valley.

A realm still taking shape

The current candidate includes these systems, with ordinary-player and client checks still outstanding. Boss encounters, expanded professions and Brutal event/token gating remain later milestones. Balance and capture tuning can change.
