Mark of the Wild is a druid buff spell available at level 62. It increases Strength, Agility, Intellect, and Versatility.

Tips and tactics

• It can be cast on any friendly target, including many NPCs.
• It does not stack with [Blessing of Kings], [Embrace of the Shale Spider], or [Legacy of the Emperor].
• Because of its long duration, it is standard practice for druids to keep this spell up onto themselves and all party members while in a group.
• If you have mana to spare while soloing, any nearby friendly player will appreciate and benefit from this ability. Casting it on a priest will encourage the priest to cast [Power Word: Fortitude] on you in return. Likewise, mages will often return the favor with [Arcane Brilliance]/ [Dalaran Brilliance] (more useful if you are specced into Balance or Restoration), monks with [Legacy of the White Tiger] respectively, and paladins with [Blessing of Might].

Lore

This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

This spell heightens defense, strength, and agility. Malfurion learned it from Cenarius.

This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

According to the non-canon RPG, Mark of the Wild is a druidic spell shared by druids, hunters, and elven rangers. By channeling the wild into a willing receptacle a caster can fill an ally with the feral grace and swiftness of the dire beasts of the Emerald Dream. Druids know two related druid-only spells called Greater Mark of the Wild, and Lesser Mark of the Wild.

Trivia

• Mark of the Wild is a basic Druid spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "Not to be confused with Jim of the Wild."
