Alterac Valley Major Quests and Events
The following major quests and events can be completed by both factions.
Portable Shredder
- Escort Engineer Zinfizzlex from Winterax Hold to your base and complete several collection quests to receive a Portable Shredder Unit.
- The Portable Shredder Unit summons a Level 60 Elite monster that you can control.
- Players keep the Shredder for three days until it disappears. They must then repeat the quest to get another Shredder.
- Multiple Shredders can be on the battlefield at the same time.
- When the Shedder is summoned, the player must channel their control of the machine. If they are interrupted, or the Shredder dies, they must wait a period of time before they can summon the Shredder again.
- While controlling the Shredder, you cannot loot.
- Shredders can be bandaged, buffed, and healed by teammates.
Ground Assault
Completing the appropriate collection quest from your faction's Quartermaster will start a melee assault if they have high enough Stormpike (Alliance) or Frostwolf (Horde) reputation. To start a ground assault you must gather supplies. In order to retrieve the supplies, you must gain control of the mine near your main base; you can also take over the enemy's mine if you so choose. Once you have control over a mine the miners will start generating supplies for you to return to your base. If you speak with the Quartermaster, you'll be informed of the number of supplies needed for the ground assault to begin; as more supplies are collected, the pile nearby the Quartermaster will grow. After all the materials are gathered, a player with the requisite reputation must command the NPC forces and send them into battle. Additional commands must be given (by clicking on them,  provided your reputation is high enough) to send them further in to attack. After the attack is over, there is a period of waiting before you can order another charge.
Cavalry
You can create and command cavalry provided you complete the requisite quests found in your base's stables. Initially, players must capture rams or wolves by taming them using the tools they are given by the Stable Master. After the stables are full, a message will be broadcasted across the valley. Players must also collect pelts from the opposing side's wild mounts: Horde must slay rams and the Alliance must hunt the wolves. After all the necessary components have been gathered, a player with high reputation (Honored or higher) must give the command for the calvary to ride. Additional commands must be given (by clicking on them, provided your reputation is high enough) to send them further in to attack. After the attack is over, there is a period of waiting before you can order another charge.
Ultimate Unit
Through a lengthy series of quests, players can summon an extremely powerful elemental to fight for their side. Horde players summon Lokholar the Ice Lord, while Alliance players bring forth Ivus the Forest Lord. The opposing side can stop the summoning by killing the NPCs that aid with the ritual.
Alliance players must gather Storm Crystals and turn them into Arch Druid Renferal, who is located in a small pass behind Dun Baldar's North Bunker. After enough Storm Crystals have been gathered, the Druids walk to the middle of the map. Ten alliance players must help the Druids summon forth Ivus. Once the summoning ritual has been completed, Ivus the Forest Lord arrives.
Horde players must gather Stormpike Soldier's Blood and bring it into Primalist Thurloga, who can be found in the cave directly under Frostwolf Keep. Once they have gathered enough, a shout rings out warning the valley of the impending summon. The Primalist and Shaman then make their way above the Field of Strife. Ten Horde players must gather together with the Primalist to bring forth Lokholar the Ice Lord.
After being summoned, both Ivus and Lokholar roam the Field of Strife, striking down opposition. After a time, they begin to push into the enemy base. Players should help heal, buff, and support their ultimate unit to advance into enemy territory. Both Lokholar and Ivus drop special items if players manage to fell them.
Aerial Assault
Through rescuing lost Wing Commanders and completing a series of quests, you can gain the ability to summon aerial units that patrol from your base to the center of the valley. Alliance and Horde players gather three different items. Each item can be turned into a specific Wing Commander once they have been rescued. After you have brought the requisite number of the particular items needed, players of Revered or higher faction reputation can receive a beacon to place on the map. The beacon, once placed, orders an air strike that lasts for a time.
If the wing commanders are not rescued, you will be unable to turn in the items needed. These particular items will disappear if you leave the battleground.
Unit Upgrades
You can complete a collection quest to upgrade some of your stationary troops. Players, officers, and roaming, mine and tower units are exempt from this bonus.
Both Alliance and Horde players gather armor scraps from the corpses of enemy players and guards. As armor is gathered, boxes of supplies visibly build up next to the forge. Once enough supplies are gathered, a person with high reputation can instruct the smith to upgrade units to the next level (such as Champion). The friendly troops will now be much more powerful.
