PvP Guide — Forever PvP

Forever splits PvP progress in two: Honor buys gear, while Rank Points climb the fourteen ranks that unlock better rewards. The new Darkspear Islands battleground joins the three Classic ones.

Battlegrounds

Honor and Rank Points

Honor is a currency earned from defeating players, completing battlegrounds and PvP quests. Blizzard reviewed Honor gains so every battleground pays out more evenly, rather than Alterac Valley being the obvious choice.

Rank Points come from battlegrounds and PvP quests and raise your rank toward Grand Marshal or High Warlord. Ranks have a weekly cap. Battlegrounds featured in their holiday week give more Honor and Rank Points.

Gear

Honor buys two sets of PvP gear: a blue set and an epic set. An epic piece is the blue piece upgraded with an Emboldened Seal, and each seal needs a rank. New sets fill gaps for specializations, such as healer, melee and caster sets for shamans.

Seasons

Each PvP season has a journey of weekly tasks that grant Honor and Rank Points; three of them also grant a Legacy Point. The tasks stay available in later seasons. Your rank, Rank Points and the rewards you can buy are on the Player vs. Player tab of the character pane (C).

What isn't confirmed yet

  • Rank Points per rank and the weekly rank cap come from the beta client and may change before launch.
  • Honor prices and Rank Point gains have not been published.
  • The Classic battlegrounds' reputation rewards are still in the beta client, but Forever hasn't announced them.

Frequently asked questions

Do Honor and Rank Points work the same way?
No. Honor is spent on gear; Rank Points only raise your rank. Seals for the epic upgrades need a rank, so you need both.
Is there a weekly cap on ranks?
Yes, Blizzard confirmed ranks have a weekly cap. The beta client allows Rank 3 in the first week of a season and Rank 14 from the tenth; those numbers aren't final.
What is the Honor cap in Forever?
The beta client caps Honor at 25,000.
Does Forever have arenas?
No arenas have been announced for WoW Forever.
