Description and Context: Arathi Basin is a player-versus-player(PvP) battleground in which the opposing factions, the Horde and the Alliance, strive to win the race for resources and compete for the 5 resource nodes: the Farm, Mine, Blacksmith, Stables, and Lumber Mill. Players need to activate the flag at each node to begin the capture, and defend captured nodes to prevent the opposing team from doing the same. The more nodes a team has captured, the faster it gains resources. When one team reaches 2000 resources, the win the game for honor and Arathi Basin Marks of Honor (used to buy PvP gear).
