At midnight today, the big release of the seventh addon for World of Warcraft is here, Battle for Azeroth. We provide you with all the tips and tricks at a glance to ensure you are perfectly prepared.
The right start in BfA: The release of Battle for Azeroth is at the same time worldwide. To help you navigate the rush, we have compiled all the important tips at a glance.

Prepare Perfectly for Battle for Azeroth
The launch begins at 12:00 AM tonight and in Germany, the kickoff for the new WoW addon Battle for Azeroth takes place. With the right preparation, you ensure that you make the most of every advantage for quick leveling.
Checklist for BfA Preparation
- Clear your quest log – You need free space for the new islands.
- Organize your bank – especially new materials take up a lot of space.
- Sell all the old stuff – You probably won’t need most of it anyway. If necessary, sell it to the vendor.
- Clean out your bags – make sure you have enough space in your bags so you don’t have to sell constantly while questing.
- Get mounts – Get yourself a vendor mount and a water strider for optimal leveling. Don’t forget to put them on your hotkeys!
- Use potions – If you don’t have a water strider, quickly grab some potions of water walking. This can save you some time.
- The right food – quickly buy bear tartare or craft it. The tartare gives you a “sated” bonus that increases your movement speed after each kill.
If you want to get the most out of the first hours of the expansion, you should also play in war mode – this gives a hefty 10% more experience! It’s best to bring 4 friends in a group. This way, it will be faster, and if enemies show up, you won’t be easy targets.
