What Makes Stormbound Special

Playerbots

Never wait for a group. Bring your own bots to fill a dungeon party, level alongside your alts, or invite a bot of any class. Random bots also quest, trade, queue for dungeons and battlegrounds, and chat, so the world feels alive.

Dungeon Master

Generated dungeon challenges for levels 10 to 80 across six difficulty tiers, plus a roguelike mode with scaling tiers, affixes, buffs and its own vendor.

Transmog

Change the look of your gear for 10 silver. Appearances you unlock are shared across your account.

Assistant NPC

Heirlooms, glyphs, gems, elixirs, food, enchants and bags in one place, plus paid services for name changes, customization, race and faction changes, old-world flight paths, profession training and instance resets, all for in-game gold.

Quality of Life

Everyone moves at 2x speed, on foot and mounted, so getting around takes half the time. There is also a Flightmaster Whistle (15-minute cooldown) to call a flight anywhere, grey junk auto-sold for gold, faster ghost running after death, and fireworks when you level up.

PvP

Wintergrasp battles every few hours for level 75+, all battlegrounds and arenas with a ready-check countdown, an arena spectator NPC, and duel resets in the starting zones.

Where to Find NPCs

The server's custom NPCs stand in the capital cities, so you never have to go far to use them.
