Trainers come from Wowhead’s Forever data, which has one in the starting zone for 3 of these 16 combos. Several names mean several trainers of your class there; we do not have their spots on the map. A row without a name means the data has none yet, not that the trainer does not exist.

High Order or Windshaper

Your side decides more than your faction. High Order Skyborne (Alliance) can be Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Mage or Druid; Windshaper Skyborne (Horde) can be Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Shaman or Druid. Both begin on Zephras Isle, which Blizzard calls a level 1 to 12 starting experience. They share three racials, and each has one the other does not:

High Order Skyborne Alliance

Read Leyline 2 min cooldown

Attempt to tap into the power of a nearby leyline, increasing your Health and Mana regeneration by 50% for 15 sec. If a leyline is nearby, you will become Attuned for the next 1 hour and the effect of this ability will be increased by 100%.

Windshaper Skyborne Horde

Skysight 2 min cooldown

Attempt to draw power from a convergence of elements and receive its blessing, increasing your movement and mounted movement speeds by 15% for 30 sec. If an elemental convergence is nearby, you will become Charged for the next 1 hour and the effect of this ability will be increased by 100%.
