This article is about the in-game term. For the Warsong Gulch achievement of the same name, see Capture the Flag (achievement).

Capture the Flag is a generic term for any type of battle that involves moving a flag from its starting position to a home position ("capture" or "cap") to score points. Variants of "capture the flag" used in World of Warcraft are found in the Warsong Gulch and Eye of the Storm battlegrounds.

CaptureEdit

1. Find the flag to capture and right-click the flag. This attaches the flag to you and you become the flag bearer.
2. Take the flag back to your base.

ComplicationsEdit

• Every member of the other side who can see the bearer is trying to kill the bearer.
• If the bearer is killed, they drop the flag on that spot of ground.
• If a member of the bearer's team grabs the flag, they become the new bearer.
• If a member of the flag's team grabs it, the flag teleports back to its stand.
• Your flag must be on its stand to be able to return the enemy flag. (Warsong Gulch only)
• Any ability or spell that provides complete immunity should cause the flag to drop.
• If you use stealth or attempt to get on a mount you will drop the flag.

GoalsEdit

Your team has 2 competing goals.

1. Keep your flag on its stand (Warsong Gulch), or take the flag before the enemy can (Eye of the Storm).
2. Bring the flag to your flag stand.
