The Five Resource Nodes in Arathi Basin

Arathi Basin hosts a 15 vs. 15 player battle over resources which either side desperately needs to fuel the warfront. To gain these resources your team will need to capture the resource nodes located in Arathi Basin. There are five resource nodes Lumber Mill, Stables, Mine, Blacksmith, and Farm, and when captured these nodes each provide resources every few seconds. The five resource nodes de tails follow as, so let us look at it.

The Lumber Mill

It's location gives players good scouting positions, that will allow them to spot attackers from a distance. Defenders can call out which of the other nodes are most vulnerable to attack, or about to be overrun by a large group from the opposing team. As such this is a good node to capture early on in the match.As mentioned previously the location of the Lumber Mill leaves little options for attackers, so give your best battle cry and charge in.

The Farm

The Farm, being so close to the location of the Horde's entrance, is generally captured first by the Horde and is typically well defended. Inside of the small house near the farm's flag players will be able to find a buff that will spawn from time to time that anyone can take advantage of.

The Stable

The Stable is located in the north-central part of the map, right outside of Trollbane Hall.The hidden buff here will spawn inside of the stable building.The graveyard here is located very close to the flag, making it a difficult location to assault, unless left undefended.

The Mine

The Mine is one of the least tactically beneficial nodes to defend due to being cut off from the other nodes in terms of line of sight. The Mine is surrounded by relatively wide open space, and has a sheer cliff that can be used by ranged classes to effectively snipe from, which can be effective in either defending or assaulting the node.

The Blacksmith

The Blacksmith is hard to defend, and easy to attack. Attackers can come from almost any angle, which is sure to keep players defending the Blacksmith on their toes. The ability to quickly access all other resource nodes makes this location where the bulk of the fighting happens.
