https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html Every change log entry for Alterac Valley for druids in WoW Forever, newest first: corrections, updates and rewrites. en Sun, 08 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-plainsrunning-tested https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-plainsrunning-tested Sun, 08 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Update Whether Plainsrunning adds to Travel Form no longer rests on Warcraft Tavern’s report, because I tested it: you move at whichever is higher, so it only takes over once it passes 40%. The Plainsrunning test has the detail. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-plainer https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-plainer Sun, 08 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Update Reworded throughout to read more plainly, and nothing in the advice changed. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-links https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-links Sun, 08 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Update The pre-match checklist links the fishing guide for Free Action and the potion fish, and Contributing links the open questions page. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-one-page https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-one-page Sun, 08 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Update The short version’s heading now says it fits on one page rather than one screen, because on a phone it runs to about three. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-plain-reading https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-plain-reading Sun, 08 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Update The Untested labels and the Still to test list are gone, so each map rule now says in its own sentence what it rests on, most often the Classic version. The recommendations, including the job for the 35/0/16 hybrid, are now stated plainly rather than as opinions. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-reads-easier https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-reads-easier Sun, 08 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Correction I’d counted eight classes a side, but Forever has nine (the Horde get Paladins and the Alliance get Shamans), so it’s three or so other druids in a raid, not four, and a snare now goes with a shift by Travel Form’s live tooltip. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-reworded https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-08-reworded Sun, 08 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Update Reworded to read more easily. I dropped my four-minute pick for the capture timer, said why holding Iceblood graveyard thins our keep’s defence, folded the spec section into the druid jobs, moved the closing ahead of Still to test, and cut the Classic caveat from seven mentions to two. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-07-live https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-07-live Sat, 07 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Major Updated for the live game, with Alterac Valley open alongside the other three battlegrounds and the druid spells from Blizzard’s notes standing as written. The old four labels are gone, and every map rule nobody has tested in a live match now carries a single Untested label and a line in Still to test. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-07-plainsrunning https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-07-plainsrunning Sat, 07 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Correction I said a Tauren can build Plainsrunning to 60% on the road, but Blizzard’s 5 November hotfixes say it can no longer stack and stop it building before the gates open, so that line is now Untested until I’ve ridden it. The launch week hotfixes note covers the hotfix. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-04-notes-name https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-04-notes-name Wed, 04 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Update The development notes post this guide called the 3 November notes is now the 2 November notes, the name Blizzard gave it and the one the rest of the site uses. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-04-short-version https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-04-short-version Wed, 04 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Major Added the short version at the top, the fourteen calls the map turns on with the reason for each and a link to the detail. The masthead now says plainly that this is a draft and that Alterac Valley’s queue isn’t confirmed for launch day. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-04-build-35-0-16 https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-04-build-35-0-16 Wed, 04 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Update My own pick now refers to the 35/0/16 build, which the build guide was rewritten around today. The advice for it is unchanged. https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-04-published https://restokins.com/guides/alterac-valley-druid.html#change-2026-11-04-published Wed, 04 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +1000 Major First published before launch, from Blizzard’s Forever notes, the Classic version of the map and the community’s Alterac Valley guides.
