How to use them on x5
Bind active racials to a convenient key and use them on cooldown — with x5 rates fights are faster, so one well-timed racial often decides a duel or saves a wipe. Passive bonuses (resistances, weapon skill, reputation) work on their own and matter when picking gear.
Starting zone and capital
Human begins in Elwynn Forest, with Stormwind as the nearest capital — a good place to train professions and abilities. From there, follow the 1–60 leveling route.
