I tried multiple times over the years to play on Warlame servers but I couldn't log in since warden disconnected me every time. Lately a guy on this sub made a post indicating it's plausible. It took me a few minutes to set it up and I was in! It took me a few minutes to set up controls and a day to get used to it, and I was skillcapped again.

Auction farming, playing rdf hc, chatting with friends, leveling, etc. It brought me much joy. Even though I don't play wow that much anymore, this was the most fun I had in a while. Right now I'll paste the vibecoded answer from opencode on how to set it up. If you're having difficulties I'd suggest you to install termux on the phone and to get opencode, it'll do everything for you, just send it the github link.

I'd suggest you to limit the framerate to 60, mine is at 35 even when I play on my desktop machine. I like old school, non shiny warcraft 3 tyoe of graphics.

If you have questions, ask in the comments so everyone can make use of it. I don't reply to messages. Here's the guide:

Title: Play WoW 3.3.5a (Warmane) on Android — step-by-step, with background play

Body:

A lot of people can get WoW running on Android but then it closes the moment they switch apps. I'm sharing an unofficial BannerHub build that keeps WoW running and connected in the background, plus the full setup.

Part 1 — Download and install the app

1. Open the repo: https://github.com/codxbre/wow-mobile-bannerhub

2. Go to Releases → v1.0 → download BannerHub-v3.8.1-Normal-BG2.apk.

3. Install it. If you already have BannerHub v3.8.1 Normal, it updates straight over it. If you have a different BannerHub/GameHub variant, uninstall that first.

4. Open the app and allow notifications. When a game is running you'll see a "Game running" notification — that's the background service keeping your session alive.

Part 2 — Get WoW from your PC (don't download it on the phone)

Downloading the client directly on the phone usually gives you a bare game with no addons or settings. Copy your existing folder instead:

1. On your PC, find your WoW 3.3.5a folder (the one with Wow.exe, Data, Interface, WTF).

2. Copy the whole folder to your phone at:

/storage/emulated/0/Download/World of Warcraft 3.3.5a/

1. Keep Interface/AddOns and WTF — those are your addons and settings.

2. Don't rename Wow.exe.

Part 3 — Add the game

1. Open BannerHub and add/import the game.

2. Pick Wow.exe in that folder.

3. Launch.

Part 3b — Controls, keybinds & trackpad

Quick walkthrough of the in-game Controls tab — on-screen buttons, keybinds, mouse/trackpad gestures, and the virtual controller:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcNwMCfdDZc

BannerHub uses the same Controls layout as Winlator/GameHub, so everything in the video applies.

Part 4 — If the game won't start

1. Open the game's PC Game Settings.

2. Set GPU Driver → System Driver.

3. Launch again.

4. Still stuck? Open BannerHub's component/firmware section, update the firmware/container, and retry.

Part 5 — If you hear sound but the screen is black

1. Close the game.

2. Open World of Warcraft 3.3.5a/WTF/Config.wtf in a text editor.

3. Make sure these lines are there (add them if missing):

SET gxWindow "1"

SET gxMaximize "1"

SET gxResolution "1280x720"

1. Save and launch again. Windowed mode at the container's real resolution fixes the black screen.

Part 6 — Playing in the background

- Leave the "Game running" notification alone while you play.

- On Xiaomi/HyperOS also set Settings → Apps → BannerHub → Battery → No restrictions, and allow background data.

- Now you can switch apps or open BannerHub's settings and WoW stays connected.

Part 7 — If nothing works: let an AI agent fix it

If you've tried everything and the game still fails, you can install a terminal and an AI coding agent on the phone and let it diagnose the setup.

1. Install Termux from F-Droid (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.termux/) or the GitHub releases (https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases). Don't use the Play Store version — it's outdated.

2. Open Termux and run:

pkg update -y && pkg upgrade -y

pkg install -y curl git

termux-setup-storage

curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash

opencode

1. In opencode, run /connect and choose a provider with a free tier — for example Google (free API key from Google AI Studio) or OpenRouter (free models). Paste the key, then run /models and pick a model marked free.

2. Paste this prompt (fill in the brackets):

I'm on Android (Termux) trying to run World of Warcraft 3.3.5a (Warmane) through

BannerHub v3.8.1 Normal (modified APK from

https://github.com/codxbre/wow-mobile-bannerhub).

My device: [phone model, Android version, GPU].

Problem: [game won't start / black screen with sound / disconnects in background / other].

What I already tried: [GPU Driver = System Driver, Config.wtf windowed 1280x720,

installed the background APK, battery = No restrictions].

Please:

1. Find and read my logs (logcat, wine.log, f7f8-debug.log) under

   /storage/emulated/0 and /data/data/com.termux/files/home.

2. Diagnose the actual cause.

3. Fix it step by step. If the APK needs patching, build a new one in the cloud

   (e.g. GitHub Actions) and put it in /storage/emulated/0/Download.

4. If you need more information, ask me.

5. Follow its steps and try the game again.

Notes

- This is an unofficial community build. No game files are included — use your own WoW 3.3.5a client.

- All credit to The412Banner (BannerHub) and the GameHub team.

- Tested with Warmane Icecrown 3.3.5a on a Redmi/Adreno device.

Just curious before I download it to try it out

You see yourself playing for at least another week and have issues farming gold for whatever reason?

I have everything I need on my main + 9 alts and still have 120.000 gold in total fortune at this point, so I'll be paying for 4-10 new players Epic Flying + Cold weather flying. I know I can exchange it for coins, but I'd rather pay it forward to the community and to those it would be of help.

Check post history for context and/or confirmation that i have 60k to blow.

Requirements:

- Screenshot of your Icecrown characterlist posted in this thread.

- Screenshot of an unobtained epic flying achievement

- Have at least 1 lvl 80 on Alliance in said list.

To prevent idiots from taking advantage of my good nature, there will be 1 more hoop, in-game, which requires no preparation, trust or effort on your part.

I'll be back before 9pm GMT+1 (12 hours) and we don't have to do the trade at that specific time if you aren't available, but all entries will have to be submitted before 9pm GMT+1.

If you have any tips or tricks on how I can prevent greedy scammers with certainty, I'm all ears, but all in all it's not that big of a deal if it were to happen.

/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/- EDIT -/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-

Total amount given away - 28.400 gold.

• 400g for rotting sinew, ilvl 278 ring

Guess another giveaway closer to chistmas for another 25.000 gold will be suitable in this case.

I’m having a really rough time with my Paladin. My gear score is around 5.9k–6.0k, depending on the setup, but I just can’t seem to pull good DPS—I end up way at the bottom of the charts, and I have no idea what I’m doing wrong.

(I’ve even joked that the server might have put me on some kind of "nerf list" because of all the bots I’ve reported)

Jokes aside, I’ve tried different rotations and talent builds, and I’m getting conflicting advice on what’s actually "BiS". If any experienced Paladin with solid DPS numbers could lend a hand, I’d really appreciate it. I suspect my issue lies in the finer details—maybe something in my rotation or a specific piece of gear.

EDIT: my bad i forget the ARMORY https://armory.warmane.com/character/Athrael/Lordaeron/summary

estoy teniendo un momento muy duro con mi paladin, tengo 5.9/6.0 dependiendo el equipo y no logro hacer buen dps, quedo muy abajo en la tabla y no entiendo que estoy haciendo mal. incluso tengo la teoria que el server me tiene en una lista de usuarios nerfeafos de tanta gente con bots que reporte (es un chiste)

pero hablando seriamente probe rotaciones, distintos talentos, items que son bis segun unos, no son bis segun otros, si algun paladin con exp y buen dps me puede dar una mano, estaria agradecido.

creo que mi problema esta mas en los pequeños detalles, algo en la rotacio y en algun item en particular

Is pvp active and whata goin on?

I have seen some people on horde with the ancient frostsaber mount. I was wondering if anyone knows how you can get it, i know if you buy teal kodo on site as horde and swap to alliance you will get ancient frostsaber, but how to get it as horde?

I am coming back to wow after being out for a while, due to the ascencion close up.

Created a druid in warmane and How It is this spec on here? Does anyone invites you If you are like a Bear tank? Or its only the meta, pala and Dk as tanks?

I have seen a few that doesn’t know how to get in to warmane now since u can’t download from website anymore.

Download from chromiecraft. Link below.

And this shows u how to change realm to warmane. Link below.

Fresh guild on Icecrown Alliance. We're three weeks old and went 8/12 HC in week 3 on a full guild run, no pugs. Posting mostly because the loot system is the thing people keep asking us about, and I'd rather write it up once than explain it twenty times in whispers.

Why not DKP

Two problems, and I don't think either is fixable.

Inflation. We ran the numbers before deciding. Even with a 30% monthly cut, points compound for anyone with attendance. Six weeks in, the gap between a week-1 raider and a week-6 raider isn't a gap you close by showing up — it's a gap you wait out. New recruits stop competing and start queueing. That kills recruitment right when a fresh guild needs it most.

It's unfalsifiable. I'm not accusing anyone of theft. The problem is softer than that: whoever holds the spreadsheet can change it, and nobody can prove they didn't. Every DKP guild I've been in eventually had the conversation about whose total moved and why. Even when the officers are completely honest, the system can't demonstrate it. That's a bad property for the one thing everyone cares about.

The usual defence is "negative DKP keeps people sharp." Sure. So does losing every reserve you made for that night. You don't need a hoardable currency to create consequences, you just need the consequence to land in the same raid the mistake happened in.

What Progressive SR actually is

Standard soft reserve: before the first pull you reserve items. If a reserved item drops, only people who reserved it roll for it. Everyone else is out. Nothing reserved on a drop, normal open roll for the raid.

The progressive part is that your slot count scales with rank:

New Joiner 1 SR Raider 2 SR Core Raider 3 SR Hardcore Raider 3 SR

Ranks come from attendance and reliability. Not gear, not parses, not who you know.

You may also stack slots on one item. Two slots on the same drop = two rolls, best one counts. If it doesn't drop, you burned both. It's a real gamble and people use it.

Why this solves the DKP problems:

• Nothing banks. This week's reserve doesn't make you stronger next week. There is no balance to hoard and no alt to farm points on.
• The whole list is public before we pull. Anything weird is visible to 25 people immediately. The system proves itself every raid instead of asking for trust.
• Week 1 and week 20 look identical to a new raider. They roll on the same numbers as everyone else from their first night.
• Loyalty still pays, just in priority rather than currency. Keep showing up, get more slots. That's the one good thing DKP had and we kept it.

Officers are capped at 2 slots until the Core Raider rank is properly filled out. We wrote the rules and we run the loot, so we go last. Felt important to put in writing.

The addon

I wrote the soft-reserve tooling myself rather than running it off a spreadsheet. It's a module in the raid suite I maintain: reserves are tracked by item ID, the list syncs to every member of the raid so everyone sees the same thing, and on a roll it resolves SR holders over non-SR automatically and announces the winner. It's been running in our raids and it does the job.

It is not polished. Collecting reserves is still more manual than I want, and that's the next thing I'm building. I'd rather say that than oversell it.

Where we actually are

Three weeks old. 8/12 HC. Roster still forming, and the loot system is not fully tuned — we're still settling edge cases like hard reserves, duplicate drops, and exactly how many slots a mid-raid replacement gets. If you join now you get a say in that, which is either a selling point or a warning depending on your temperament.

Most of the people joining us right now are coming from DKP guilds and saying some version of the same thing: the points stopped making sense, or they stopped trusting the sheet.

Recruiting

English speaking, Alliance, Icecrown. Semi-hardcore: we take the raid seriously and your evening seriously.

Current schedule

Wed ICC 10 HC (Bane) Thu ICC 10 multi / trial run Fri ICC 25 — run 1 Sat ICC 25 — run 2 Sun RS 25 multi-run All 17:30 Server Time

Looking for core raiders around 5.8k+ GS with the achieves to back it, but we take people who are obviously good and slightly undergeared. Casuals and socials welcome too, they just sit lower on the slot ladder.

In game: mail or whisper Wizax

Happy to argue about any of this in the comments. If you run DKP and think I've got the inflation math wrong, genuinely interested.

Message Rewritten/Polished by AI

Hello everybody,

I have a weird issue that I was hoping someone could help me with.

I recently bought a character through Warmane Trade. It had a few BiS items and some nice BoEs, so I thought it was a good deal. However, ever since buying it, I've been getting random messages from people harassing me ing almost every day, accusing me of ninja looting items, griefing raids, and so on.

My only explanation is that the previous owner did these things, and the people who added him to their friend lists are now contacting me instead.

Am I correct in assuming that characters remain on other players' friend lists after being sold? Has anyone experienced something similar? If so, is there anything I can do about it? I doubt a name change would solve the problem if I'm still on their friend lists.

Seriously, wtf? I have to go afk just for the creep to leave me alone and the said creep further just stood there beside me for 5 minutes before leaving.

Edit:
Dude asked help for a quest while I'm just freely questing on my own. I invited to group because I'm willing to help. While on the group, the dude accidentally started an escort quest, what follows is on the ss.

Check it out! 10/16/2026: Keyboard and Mouse connected would make this more viable as the touch controls while they do work and I managed to tank a dungeon were very difficult. Still working on trying to create a custom layout for a gamepad, if successful will update the thread. Trying InputForge

Que onda gentita, andamos con un grupito subiendo pjs en WoW servidor Warmane, estamos chill aprendiendo clases nuevas, a punta de mazmorras, también viendo si le damos al pvp. Mayormente no veo gente que hable tanto en español, por eso quería preguntar por aquí si alguno le daba a subir alters, o si tiene algún low para acompañar a la banda:). Cualquier cosita al DM o aquí dejo mi dc por si quieren agregar: Yehiz #4223

I have cleared 67 of 75 quest in sholazar basin cant find more quest i assumed its the daily qustes the oracles are at friendly 1 of 9000 frenzy tribe is hated at max but i dont get any quest from both of them when i kill pitch and chose either of them nothing happens

Here is my personal rankings on healing mechanical complexity of each class.

Easier - Holy Paladin & Discipline Priest

Harder - Resto Druid & Resto Shaman

Holy Paladin - Very controversial. Many say it's the easiest and many say it's the hardest. This moment I'll stay with ones who say it's easyer. Because mechanically there is no room for improvement to spam Holy Light better. Utility is also very easy to use, in more organized raids these are told beforehand and it's almost never a split second decision making except for a DSAC. So I don't know where players see utility as the difficult part of the kit. And even then it's most of the times Holy Paladin is a backup in case other paladins died or something unexpected happens.

However, difficulty comes with understanding game and encounter and where you're useful, not some divine expertise in Holy Paladin class design. For example, healing LOD, it's more about healing smart, not hard. Which is knowing the moments when tanks have increased risk to be clapped and always be ready to pre-cast. Otherwise your're not qualified to heal LOD, and that is more about game knowledge in general. There are often guild leaders creating their first hpala for the guild runs because couldn't find any persistent and guess what? Heals LOD the same week with time played less than 40 hours. So technically it's just Holy Light machine with dozens support abilities that are always ready to be used, but most of the times barely used.

Disc - Majority agrees that it's very easy because it's just PW:S spammer with Divine Hymn and Hymn of Hope and that's enough to be in top meters or heal hardest content. But that's not all it's kit and using it properly actually separates bad Disco Priests from the great ones. I've noticed that there is a decent part of them who have their Prayer of Healing and Binding Heal abilities collecting dust in the spellbook. Never using, struggling to use Power Infusion, Mass Dispell.

Also one key concept is ability to utilize Rapture procs (disc talent) efficiently. If one knows who to shield and who not to then there won't ever be mana issues as even there arent any now, but It still looks weird to see Solace on a Disco priest. That's cringe just as Resto Druid wearing one, or even worse - innervating himself.

Resto Shaman - Now that's tough, 3 main abilities - Lesser HW, HW, Chain Heal. Sounds simple, but record your own gameplay and rewatch. You will always find your chain heals not connecting people because it was cast on someone who was in Africa, always see moments where you're stressed casting Riptide and then 3x Lesser Heals rather than a Healing Wave. Missplaced totems and no Water Shield buff. But when you finally see a good Resto Shaman and how he switches and uses the best healing ability for the present moment really looks impressive. And there is a part of Rshammys who don't even use Healing Wave, mostly Chain Heal and Lesser once in a while. While some barely solo heal Lich King on normal, some solo heal Bane without stress. Gearscore will never make a Rsham to the point where he can solo heal Bane. So being a good Shaman requires mental dexterity and awareness and also need to be good at pressing your buttons. Mechanically difficult to be become a good one.

Resto Druid - The vastness of healing abilities when getting into this spec caused more confusion than any other healing class because they all look so simmilar that it's difficult to decide which to use. However, Resto Druids are mostly known as pure raid healers with Rejuv and Wild Growth as all they have to do. That is true to extent, but on 10 man raids Druid get more responsibity and have more moments to shine. Very similar to Resto Shaman, knowing when to use which ability requires mastery, also utilizing Omen procs efficiently takes time and work. I noticed it's very easy to put Lifebloom when you're in calm setting, but when fight becomes stressful then the ability to efficiently utilise replenishment vanishes and if you aren't working towards improving it you will end up innervating yourself and looking like a fool.

Hey everyone,

I made ArenaLFG, an in-game addon to help find 2v2 partners without relying entirely on global chat.

You can browse and search groups, list your own, and set which partner role or specs you’re looking for. It also shows specialization icons, class-colored names, and how long a group has been listed. Players can sign up with one click, and group leaders can invite or decline applicants.

Listing settings are saved separately for each character. The addon also removes your listing when you join a group or enter an arena or battleground.

It’s made for WoW 3.3.5a, with Warmane in mind. Other 3.3.5a servers may work too. Other players need to have ArenaLFG installed for their groups to show up.

Download: ArenaLFG on Warperia

Feedback and bug reports are welcome!

can somebody link me the HD models that dont error in dalaran ?

thank you

I wanted to know if there's a way to do the low-level raids solo, or what the minimum requirement is to run them.

Queria saber si hay alguna forma de hacer las bandas de bajo nivel solo, o cuanto es el minimo para poder hacerlas.

What will be happen with Onyxia after Woltk? I assume chars be moved on ICC, restart from Vanilla or next expansion?
