All survival (12)
Plan Hearth and Logout Safely
Auto-run, lifts, docks, weak bags, and unsafe AFKs can end a run without a hostile nameplate.
Hardcore Habits That Protect the Character
Eat, bandage, clear bags, read the terrain, and leave after a warning. These habits keep the route controlled.
Hardcore Addons for Pull Information
Use addons that show cast bars, enemy health, and the information the default UI leaves offscreen.
Grouping, Layering, and Hardcore Etiquette
A good group agrees on a reset call, pull pace, and patrol information before an invite changes the layer.
Gold Is an Exit Tool
Gold pays for training, the level-40 mount, consumables, and the gear upgrades that support the route.
Go Agane, Then Meet the Barrens Again
A Barrens dispatch about Cat Form, the confidence it brings, and the decision to reroll after a Hardcore death.
Escort Quests, Elites, and Skips
Escorts, elites, caves, and uncertain pathing can stay unfinished when the route becomes too risky.
Consumables to Carry Before the Pull
Carry healing, escape, and protection consumables before a route needs them.
Caves, Buildings, and Elevators
Caves, ships, towers, mines, and lifts restrict the exit and turn a simple fight into a route problem.
Call the Reset Early
When a pull widens, create space, use the tool that buys it, and take the exit.
Buff My Pet Is a Pull Plan
Pet control sets the opening of a pull and matters in Westfall, Deadmines, the Barrens, and Wailing Caverns.
Barrens Safety Principles
The Barrens has long sightlines, loose patrols, and quests that can pull a character out of a safe route.
