New WorldWoW Classic Fresh Phase 3 PvP: Honor Counts Towards Next Week’s Honor Cap!
INTRODUCTION
With Phase 3 of the Classic Anniversary(WoW Classic Fresh) now underway and new content releasing soon, players are eager to dive into the next phase of PvP. In WoW Classic, the introduction of Battleground Weekends and Arathi Basin offers exciting opportunities to earn Honor and climb the ranks. As players progress through Phase 8, many are wondering how Honor will be tracked and awarded. Blizzard has clarified that Honor earned after Tuesday, April 1st, reset will count towards next week’s Honor cap, bringing clarity and excitement to the PvP community!
This guide will break down how the Honor Ranking System works, along with the latest Honor changes, so players can strategize their approach to PvP progression.
PvP Honor Ranking System Overview – WoW Classic Fresh Phase 3
The PvP Honor Ranking System in WoW Classic allows players to rise through the ranks, unlocking exclusive titles and powerful gear. Honor is earned primarily through Battlegrounds and open-world PvP, where players must earn Honorable Kills (HKs) to progress.
In this newly revamped Honor system, players can earn PvP ranks that grant them various rewards, including high Stamina gear, epic mounts, and special PvP consumables. Many players aim for Rank 14, as it unlocks top-tier weapons and sets. The system has been overhauled in WoW Classic, offering an updated and balanced experience that encourages participation in Battlegrounds like Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, and Alterac Valley.
Honor Ranking System: The Basics
In WoW Classic, each week players earn Honor based on their performance in PvP activities. The Honor is calculated every week, and your rank is updated during the weekly reset. To rank up, players must accumulate Honor Points by completing PvP objectives, such as capture the flag, base captures, and defeating enemy players.
While the amount of Honor earned can vary, there is a cap for how much Honor a player can earn within a single week, which is set at 500,000 Honor. However, once Tuesday’s reset occurs, Honor earned after the reset will count towards the following week’s cap, allowing players to get a head start for the next week’s progression.
How Honor Ranking Works in WoW Classic
Weekly Honor Cap: Players can earn up to 500,000 Honor per week, with no decay.
Ranking Up: To progress through the ranks, players need to accumulate Honor Points based on Honorable Kills (HKs) and other PvP objectives.
Rank Update: Rankings and titles are only updated once a week during the weekly reset. Dishonorable Kills (DKs) affect rankings immediately, so it’s important to avoid harming civilians or NPCs in PvP.
WoW Classic PvP Honor Ranks and Titles
In WoW Classic, players can achieve 14 different ranks in the Honor system, each unlocking exclusive PvP gear, titles, and rewards. Players start at Rank 1 (Private/Scout) and work their way up through the ranks. Below is a detailed table of each Honor rank, its corresponding title, and the rewards players will unlock.
| Rank | Title (Alliance) | Title (Horde) | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Private | Scout | Private’s Tabard / Scout’s Tabard |
| 2 | Corporal | Grunt | PvP Trinket: Insignia of the Alliance / Horde |
| 3 | Sergeant | Sergeant | Blue-Quality Cloak: Sergeant’s Cape / Cloak; 10% Discount on goods |
| 4 | Master Sergeant | Senior Sergeant | Blue-Quality Necklace: Master Sergeant’s Insignia / Senior Sergeant’s Insignia |
| 5 | Sergeant Major | First Sergeant | Blue-Quality Bracers: Alliance/Horde |
| 6 | Knight | Stone Guard | Knight’s Colors / Stone Guard’s Herald; Access to Combat Potions |
| 7 | Knight-Lieutenant | Blood Guard | Rare-Quality Set Boots: Alliance / Horde |
| 8 | Knight-Captain | Legionnaire | Rare-Quality Set Chest and Set Legs: Alliance / Horde |
| 9 | Knight-Champion | Centurion | Alliance Battle Standard / Horde Battle Standard |
| 10 | Lieutenant Commander | Champion | Rare-Quality Set Helm / Shoulders: Alliance / Horde |
| 11 | Commander | Lieutenant General | PvP Epic Mount: Alliance / Horde |
| 12 | Marshal | General | Epic-Quality Set Gloves, Legs, Boots: Alliance / Horde |
| 13 | Field Marshal | Warlord | Epic-Quality Set Helm, Chest, Shoulders: Alliance / Horde |
| 14 | Grand Marshal | High Warlord | Epic-Quality Weapons: Alliance / Horde |
Dishonorable Kills (DKs)
In WoW Classic, Dishonorable Kills (DKs) occur when a player kills civilian NPCs, such as quest givers or vendors. Dishonorable Kills will immediately affect your Honor standing, causing a significant loss of rank. Players are heavily punished for killing civilians in PvP combat, and it’s a tactic used to prevent faction griefing.
However, Dishonorable Kills are the only action that impacts your rank immediately. Low-level players do not count toward Dishonorable Kills, and killing them will not negatively affect your rank.
Battlegrounds in WoW Classic Fresh Phase 3
Battlegrounds are central to earning Honor in WoW Classic, with each Battleground offering different objectives and rewards. These Battlegrounds are not only a great way to earn Honor, but also provide Marks of Honor, which can be exchanged for valuable items and Reputation.
| Battleground | Objective | Honor Earned |
|---|---|---|
| Warsong Gulch | Capture the Flag | Honor for kills, objectives; 3 Marks of Honor per win |
| Arathi Basin | Capture and defend bases | Honor for kills, objectives; 3 Marks of Honor per win |
| Alterac Valley | Kill enemy lieutenants and capture objectives | Honor for kills, objectives; 3 Marks of Honor per win |
Honor Farming Tips in WoW Classic Fresh Phase 3
Participate in Battlegrounds: Completing Battleground objectives is the most efficient way to earn Honor. Arathi Basin is particularly important for farmed Honor.
Avoid Dishonorable Kills (DKs): Killing civilians can severely hurt your progress in the PvP ranking system, so avoid these actions.
Use Addons: Ranker is a helpful addon that tracks your Honor progress and shows how much you need to reach your next rank.
CONCLUSION
With PvP Weekend Events and the release of Arathi Basin, WoW Classic Fresh Phase 3 of brings a host of exciting PvP content for players eager to earn Honor, PvP titles, and powerful PvP gear. As Honor earned after Tuesday’s reset counts towards the next week’s cap, it’s important to plan your PvP progression accordingly. Keep track of your Honor, complete Battlegrounds, and rise through the ranks to claim your rewards!
