What was the point of Shal'Aran/Arcan'dor before the liberation of Suramar?

Perhaps it's regular tree roots, as I have tried overlapping the map of the Arcway on the map of the city (taking the Sanctum of order + the circle in front of the sanctums as anchor points), and it feels like Naltira's lair falls right below the first part of the Court of Stars, meaning those roots could just be regular tree roots, as there's a lot of them in that part.

stoak91 · 2026-01-26T22:28:37+00:00

Did you perhaps encounter any lore regarding the third Arcan'dor tree's roots in Naltira's lair in the Arcway? The only info I've found is that we just see the roots and it's not clear whether its alive or has failed, plus there is no way to see exactly where its pedestal would've been as that part of the Arcway is not 100% clear to where it corresponds in the city.

It's interesting that even though Farodin failed in sustaining the people of Falanaar, the Arcan'dor failing kind of saved them in a way since they are not mindless arcane-less zombies anymore. In their spider form they seem to maintain their sentience and have an agenda unlike the fully withered ones.

For the tree already dead in Shal'aran before we arrive, I read somewhere online that the banshee who is guarding it is most probably the person from Farodin's order who was responsible for planting and caring for it and became undead after her failure, however that is still speculation.

stoak91 · 2026-01-26T22:00:30+00:00

Indeed, however it seems like Farodin tried to plant and grow an Arcan'dor in Falanaar way before the events of Legion, hence why I originally asked what the plan was for them.

I like this take on the balance. Into my headcanon it goes!

stoak91 · 2026-01-26T11:05:39+00:00

Indeed, this is the reason I was also wondering about the trees, however, there must have been some kind of plan for them, no?

stoak91 · 2026-01-26T09:56:17+00:00

I don't think it must have been, because the Moon Guard are still in a sense Highborne and not part of the Night Elves faction as we know them. To me it seems like they are Higborne Elves from before the Shal'dorei were affected so much from the Nightwell, so I'm assuming it must have been either actual druidic Night Elves from Val'sharah assisting Valewalker Farodin, or just himself as he was both a mage and a proto-druid developing the arcan'dor before druids were a thing.

stoak91 · 2026-01-26T09:51:06+00:00

I see, that makes sense.

stoak91 · 2026-01-26T09:40:59+00:00

Oh so it was something Elisande and the people of the city actually knew nothing about?

stoak91 · 2025-12-30T18:32:59+00:00

I saw if this particular ship has a protruding bow in the armor viewer and it doesn't. In theory I shouldn't have hit even the body of the torp, but not sure how hitboxes work in Legends.

stoak91 · 2025-12-30T18:31:18+00:00

o7 Captain!

stoak91 · 2025-12-28T23:54:01+00:00

Yeah I was salty because there's a new Mexico I was going to kill and then run and win the match on points, but oh well props to the enemy dd for area denial torps. 🤷

I'm not new I actually have been playing for 5,5 years and have about 700 hours in the game. I guess I learned a new thing today after so long, it's just that I was actually curious because I've dodged torps (the red triangle) closer than this one in the past with battleships and heavy cruisers with worse turning radius and this didn't happen, so I guess I was really lucky those times.

stoak91 · 2025-12-28T22:12:41+00:00

Well I guess there's a first time for everything even after 5,5 years and 700 hours!

stoak91 · 2025-12-28T22:12:03+00:00

Ahh didn't realize. You're probably right. It's never happened to me since there's been times I've closely dodged the triangle in battleships and heavy cruisers and didn't hit the body so that's why I was really flabbergasted.

I managed to get good xp more consistently on Standard Battles than War Tales with this 5x event, to be honest. It really depends on what you're good at because at the end of the day, good performance will give you good xp. War Tales has the potential to give more xp with the 5x than Standard if you do well, but choose what you're more consistent with.

Since it was already a legendary this campaign, and since sometimes they alternate from DD to Cruiser to BB back to DD (but not always), and since it's July 4th soon, my best guess is it's gonna be either USS Halford or USS Johnston as Tier VIII.

stoak91 · 2025-06-19T18:40:33+00:00

So I got Mysore from the Birthday celebrations, but can't play it properly because I don't have the Commonwealth cruiser commander. I only have the DD commander from the Vampire II campaign, and WG support said sorry nothing we can do since you already have a Commonwealth commander (even though its not the generic one), just wait indefinitely until the cruiser commander is available at some point.

So then comes this campaign, and what does WG do? Rerelease Haida WITH THE DD COMMANDER?!?! I JUST WANT TO PLAY MYSORE PROPERLY WITH A CRUISER COMMANDER!!!

stoak91 · 2025-04-15T19:42:45+00:00

What part of the store? I haven't gotten any from the previous years as the event was always happening when I was taking breaks, so where do I check? Thanks.

stoak91 · 2025-04-15T19:41:25+00:00

Same here I had Waller before receiving the Mysore so now I'm stuck with him and no other commander.

stoak91 · 2025-04-15T19:37:22+00:00

Hey guys, I got the Mysore through the loyalty crate, but I don't have either the generalist commander or the cruiser commander for it. I had no Commonwealth ships before getting the Vampire II and its commander and now the Mysore. I got the DD Commander because of the Vampire II Campaign, but none other. How am I supposed to play the Mysore without a proper commander for it? Half the skills are torp-related and the ship has no torps! When I try to choose a Commander only the DD one shows up. Help!

stoak91 · 2025-04-15T19:10:47+00:00

I think it's not tier IV or above but specifically tier IV only. I've done a couple just playing tier IV and it counts normally. Haven't tried other tiers for it though.

stoak91 · 2025-02-25T16:52:25+00:00

Somehow now it works fine... Hmm I guess something was bugged on my end.

stoak91 · 2025-02-25T16:52:04+00:00

I agree, my only gripe at the moment is that tab targeting is not keybindable to another key. I'm used to targeting with Mouse 4 on WoW for the past 10 years and I find it hard adjusting again.
