WoW Forever world buffs: new heralds in Goldshire, Razor Hill

Blizzard's Johnny Cash adds world buff heralds outside the capitals: Razor Hill for the Horde, Goldshire, Lakeshire and Sentinel Hill for the Alliance.

World buffs now reach more of the towns where characters level in WoW Forever. Blizzard's Johnny Cash wrote on X on November 12 that he has added heralds to 4 towns outside the capitals, so characters levelling there get the buff too when someone turns in Rend Blackhand's head.

Where the heralds stand now

Faction Before Now also
Horde Orgrimmar, the Crossroads Razor Hill's guard tower (Durotar)
Alliance Stormwind Goldshire (Elwynn Forest), Lakeshire (Redridge Mountains), Sentinel Hill (Westfall)

He "fixed up the Heralds of Thrall to show up to buff people in not just the Crossroads but the Razor Hill guard tower as well", and "added new Stormwind Criers that ride into Goldshire, Lakeridge, and Sentinel Hill to do the same for the Alliance". Lakeridge is the name in his post; the town of the Redridge Mountains is Lakeshire. The criers "come in from the right road, but spawn not too far away so it doesn't take an eternity."

What the buff gives

Warcraft Tavern names the buffs these heralds hand out: Warchief's Blessing for the Horde and Might of Stormwind for the Alliance, both earned by turning in Rend Blackhand's head after Blackrock Spire. In the game's client, both give 300 more health, 15% haste to all spells and attacks and 10 mana every 5 seconds, and their aura adds: "No effect while in a raid instance."

Johnny Cash's post names no other buff.
