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
Troll begins in Durotar (Valley of Trials), with Orgrimmar as the nearest capital — a good place to train professions and abilities. From there, follow the 1–60 leveling route.
