Arathi Basin is unlocked when you hit level 10 and was one of the first I had ever attempted to do. I have a lot of memories of Arathi Basin, some good and of course some not so great!

The Arathi Highlands are under attack, with so many resources available from gold and lumber it’s no doubt both factions want to control it.

Your job is to gather resources in order to become the victor, the first team to hit 1600 resources will win.

How To Collect Resources

You collect resources by claiming the 5 areas, the more you control the more resources your team will gather.

There are many graveyards dotted around so there is no guarantee which one you will res at, therefore you need to think logically on where you should go to when you do res.

Strategy

The first thing to remember is that no matter how many kills you get, you will NOT increase the resources.

Many people run into the battle and continue to fight and get split up targeting different nodes; this will not help you win.

The key is to defend!

Secure 3 of the nodes and then defend these nodes, don’t worry about the 4th or the 5th. If you continue to keep 3 you will win.

Another tip is to NOT attack the enemy between nodes; this is benefiting them more than you.

This is because;

1)They are delaying you from getting to where you are needed

2)When they die, they will simply res at their secured node – giving them an easy way back to defend it.

Healers are key, learn what healers look like.

Once you spot your healers, try and keep them alive BUT also focus on killing your enemies’ healers.
