PvP ranks and Honor

PvP in WoW Forever keeps the ranks of the original game, up to High Warlord and Grand Marshal, and makes them easier to reach.

Honor and Rank Points

Honor
A currency you earn by defeating other players, completing battlegrounds and finishing PvP quests. You spend it on PvP gear, and you can hold up to 25,000.
Rank Points
Earned in battlegrounds and PvP quests. They raise your rank toward High Warlord for the Horde or Grand Marshal for the Alliance.
A weekly cap
Ranks have a weekly cap. It keeps the original system’s footing while making the climb easier to manage.
Holiday weeks pay more
The battleground highlighted for its holiday week gives extra Honor and extra Rank Points.
Every map is worth it
Honor is evened out across battlegrounds, so you don’t have to play Alterac Valley just for the Honor.

The blue set
Bought with Honor. Every epic piece is an upgrade of its blue piece, so this set comes first.
The epic set
Honor buys this set too: upgrade a blue piece with an Emboldened Seal. Each seal needs a certain rank before you can buy it.

Sets for more specs
New and reworked items fill gaps for specs that had no PvP gear. Shamans, for example, get healer, melee and caster sets.

A journey each season
Every season has a journey of weekly tasks. Finishing them gives Honor and Rank Points.
Three tasks give Legacy points
The week 4, 7 and 10 quests of the Field of Honor journey each earn a Legacy point, and they stay open in later seasons.

Legacy points from PvP
PvP is worth 12 Legacy points: 5 for ranks, 4 for Exalted with each battleground reputation and 3 for the season quests.
How Legacy works
For Great Honor
A Legacy perk in the Resourcefulness tree that gives you more Honor from PvP.

Ranks and titles belong to your faction, and on the PvP ruleset all your characters are on one faction. Choose a race and class with that in mind.
