How to Start an Arena Team in World of Warcraft

There is a ton of sweet armor and weapons to be had for those willing to brave the Arena. Arena gear is comparable in power to raiding gear, and is currently recolored versions of raiding Tier 4 and Tier 5 armor. Killing other players is all well and good, but most people stumble before they even get that far. Here's how you get started.

Instructions

1. Decide on team size. There are 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 teams, but you can have double the number of fighters on your team. 2v2 teams can have 4 members, 3v3 teams can have 6 members and 5v5 teams can have 10 members.

2. Head up to the arena in Blade's Edge Mountains. It's called the "Arena of Blood" and it's just west of Evensong. Look for the Arena Coordinator. He sells the charters you need to make your team. Bring between 80 and 200 gold for the charter. 2v2 charters cost 80g, 3v3 charters cost 120 and 5v5 charters cost 200g.

3. Name your team. It can be whatever you like!

4. Collect signatures for your team. When you've got enough for a full team, return the charter to the coordinator and choose your banner.

5. Go forth and do battle with your fellow players! To enter an Arena match, find an Arena Promoter (they're usually next to Battleground Battlemasters) and select what type of match you'd like to fight in. Skirmish matches are just practice; you neither loose nor gain points. Rated matches count.
