WoW PvP Secrets: Understanding Honor Points and PvP Tokens
Games Comments OffEngaging in PvP combat has many benefits. Two of them are Honor Points and PvP Tokens. These work almost as an alternate form of gold, one that you can use only in certain shops but that lets you buy more powerful equipment than you could otherwise get your hands on. You’re smart to learn about these, as getting them is one way to speed your character’s advancement through the levels.
Earning Honor Points
You earn Honor Points by killing characters from the opposing faction (Alliance or Horde). I should say that your character will earn honor as long as you kill characters that are no more than 8 levels below your character. Killing characters that are more than 8 levels below you not only doesn’t give you honor, it is generally considered bad sportsmanship. This means that if you want to gain honor for your kills you need to pick on characters your own size, or at least ones that are within shouting distance of your level.
Once you accumulate enough Honor Points you will be able to use them, along with Battleground Marks of Honor (earned, not surprisingly, for your actions in the battlegrounds), to buy stuff in the Champions’ Hall at Stormwind City or Orgrimmar’s Hall of Legends. The available items range from consumables, to gems and trinkets, even high-end armor and weapons.
Another way to earn Honor Points is to turn in one Mark of Honor from each battleground as part of the Horde’s For Great Honor quest or the Alliance’s Concerted Efforts quest. You can also repeat these quests to generate additional honor.
Earning PvP Tokens
Certain areas of the Outland give you PvP Tokens (the Mark of Honor Hold or Halaa Battle Token for example) as rewards for killing characters from the opposing faction. These are like the Marks of Honor you get when you fight in the battlegrounds, except that only PvP vendors in the region the token comes from will honor them. So if your character had Marks of Honor Hold, for example, Honor Hold PvP vendors would accept them. PvP Tokens are most valuable to you when you are below Level 70, since the gear you can buy with them doesn’t go up past this level.
Now you’ve seen how Honor Points and PvP Tokens can help your character get better gear. And you know where to go to earn them. But there’s so much more to learn if you really want to dominate PvP combat, or even hold your own against more experienced players.
