How to use this guide
- Read Getting started and Starting experience first.
- Use this page as the index. Every subsystem has one document and one status badge.
- Treat Live as available, Limited as partially available or arranged by staff, Disabled as present but switched off, and Staff-only as content you should not expect to use in normal play.
- Commands written with a slash, such as
/rbank, are typed in the in-game chat box. Commands written with a dot, such as.xp view, are also typed in chat, but only the ones shown in player documents are intended for players. - Read the Limits and configuration section before planning around a system. Several features are deliberately capped or switched off.
Commands & UI
Player commands are typed in chat. Dot commands are server commands; slash commands usually open a custom window.

Status legend
| Badge | Meaning for players |
|---|---|
| Live | Available to all players in normal play. Some parts may still have level or progression requirements. |
| Limited | Implemented, but access, completion, or rewards are restricted. This can mean staff arrangement, an incomplete encounter, or a narrow level bracket. |
| Disabled | Present in the build, but switched off on the live realm. Do not plan around it. |
| Staff-only | Intended for staff, events, or administration. Normal players should not expect access. |
The shape of the realm
From the Ashes keeps the Wrath client and its world, but changes the journey around it:
- You begin at level 1, not 55 or 70. The first 60 levels are Classic content; Outland and Northrend follow as you advance, and progression stages keep later content closed until you earn it.
- Old content stays relevant. Individual progression, Timewalking, custom loot, and level-scaling rewards give max-level characters reasons to return to Classic and Outland dungeons and raids.
- The convenience layer is account-friendly. The reagent bank and shared professions are account-wide. Transmog is free. The Auction House is stocked. NPCBots can join a group.
- Challenge is opt-in. Oaths make the game harder in specific ways and pay permanent combat bonuses. You can ignore them entirely.
- Not every installed system is live. The Quartermaster Ledger is disabled. Several convenience commands are disabled. Staff-only test content is not part of the normal progression.
Global rules worth knowing
- Progression is per character. Stage scrolls are account-bound, but advancing one character does not advance another.
- Account-wide systems: the reagent bank, shared profession progress, and most addon settings. Character-only systems: level, progression stage, Oaths, Pocket Pals collection, and NPCBot altbots.
- Reputation is 2x. Experience is 1x unless you change it with
.xp. - Boosting is limited. A level-60 boost is available once per character and is blocked while an Oath is active.
- The Random Dungeon Finder is not a full Wrath finder. It covers Classic and The Burning Crusade only.
- The Auction House is stocked by server sellers. It is not a pure player economy.
- No system requires a cash shop. Staff-only items are not part of the normal acquisition loop.
Known gaps and honest labels
These are intentionally called out rather than hidden:
- Quartermaster Ledger is fully coded but disabled. Use a normal quartermaster NPC.
- Portable transmog is not available. Use the Transmogrification UI and a transmogrifier.
- Hall of Thanes has an entrance and map but no finished encounter or completion state. It is a Limited exploration space.
- Well of Eternity requires progression stage 10 and has no confirmed public entrance; staff must arrange access.
- Artifacts and the Lightforged Warframe are event or staff grants, not quest rewards.
- MultiVendor is a staff island vendor. It is not a player economy feature.
- There is no remote Auction House.
.ahis disabled and PaperDollAH hides itself. Use an Auction House NPC. .repairis disabled. Use a repair vendor or repair mount.- Arena Commendation
844115has no vendor or scripted sink. It is a rated-arena record item, not spendable currency. - Wintergrasp quartermasters have no confirmed spawn. The battle works, but do not plan a WG vendor loop.
- Battleground bonus rewards, BG marks/tokens, the Ring of Valor, and SoloLFG are off. Random battlegrounds and arenas still run.
Admin note
This catalog was written against the live runtime configuration under Server/runtime/configs/ and the installed source and data. The global switches referenced here are documented in 26 — Admin and config appendix. Do not edit source, client, or database files to “fix” a player-facing limitation; change the live module config, restart or reload as appropriate, and update the affected document if a status changes.
