How To Farm Honor Fast

PvP represents a major part of many games like WoW. The specifics of this aspect of the game have been revamped and partially changed in Classic. Generally, players can not ultimately escape this activity as it provides some high-quality gear, and for those who spend all the spare time competing with other players, it also becomes a source of fame and prestige among others.

In Classic, Battlegrounds is an instanced location that gives the players the right to participate in PvP. Each win there provides you with two types of currency: Marks of Honor and regular Honor points. The Marks may be used for various purposes due to the fact that they can be exchanged for reputation points, EXP, and usual Honor. Losses are only rewarded with one Mark. Another main specifics of Classic is that the overall system is separated into achievable ranks through honorable wins and special contribution points, to add to that there are also no battlefields or arenas.

If you are aiming at the top of the Classic PvP System, you will benefit from redoubling efforts and farming incessantly. To provide you with some help in this time-consuming and very challenging task, we offer a guide that can help you with honor farming.

Effective way - Battlegrounds

Fighting in the Battlegrounds will grant you far more honor than PvP anywhere else. Having a skillful and stable group can also be a great advantage. So generally if your aim is to get as many points as possible, get a team and go to the Battlegrounds, when the usual team is not available - random groups will do well.

First, it is best to go to Alterac Valley just once and then go to other shorter Battlegrounds. The waiting time for the AV is much longer which is only compensated by the higher honor income, you should not forget that repetitive kills will not give you much good. Taking part in many rather shorter Warsong Gulch or Arathi Basin matches against changing opponents represents overall the most effective way to earn Honor.

VH in BG is a great way to get some change and relaxation from all the repetitive usual work while still earning the needed points if you manage to complete objectives as well. Among them the most beneficial in terms of receiving honor are tagging of bases, capturing the flags, and slaying the lieutenant, so try to keep to these.

Whether you are going to play solo or in a team is your own choice and the effectiveness of this decision depends greatly on the team itself.

1.1. Premade

The stable team can bring you some very easy wins, just do not forget that all the points for each kill are divided between all members of the squad. In this case, try to keep closer to the other players: you will both be able to help others if anything goes wrong and will not lose any points for just being too far.

Even if you are in a group do not AFK and leave the hard work for others. While the kills will be done without any of your contributions and you will still earn some points, their number will not be all that high. The game evaluated your input into the outcome and the input of each squad member, so if you score a kill yourself or at the very least provide the assist, you will earn the needed amount of honor much faster.

1.2 Random groups 

Random teams on Battlegrounds are not a bad choice either as the main bonuses of the first point still remain. Just don’t forget to establish communication.

World PvP

The only alternative to the BG is normal PvP in an open world that mainly incorporates the spontaneous battles between 2 or more players in the normal locations of the world. This type of PvP can be called the most unbalanced, as quite frequently it features players of much larger numbers or big difference in levels between the sides.

There is one main balancing factor though that you need to consider when farming for honor: if you kill someone of a much lower level the honor you will get will come in very small amounts. Targeting anyone 5 or more levels below you is just a waste of time (10 or more and you will get no points), so pick your opponents wisely. You also should first maximize your level before getting into this type of PvP, because kills on your higher levels will also bring much more honor.

Also, you may want to try to target the higher-ranking players. While these opponents are much stronger, they provide much more points, as the amount of the points gained also varies depending on the rank of the defeated player. As a result, there is no real reason to deal with someone of your rank or especially lower ranking players, the principle is the same as with levels. Just be careful, they will not easily give up or make any mistakes.

General aspects

• As for the classes for the PvP overall, the best would be Subtlety Rogue, Frost Mage, an Arms Warrior. They are powerful both in BG, World PvP activities each can deal really high damage while showing sustainability, and providing some crowd control. The worst for this job would be Enhancement Shaman and Balance Druid: the first-class requires a fitting and high-quality gear to perform well, and while they might have a nice heal and snare, that is not very helpful in PvP; the second class has some significant problems with the mana and long term PvP battle will take a lot.
• As for the gear, until you get the right to purchase PvP gear you will have to carry what you have managed to farm in raids and dungeons. Dungeon gear might not be all that great against some more powerful opponents, but if you mainly go for the BG it will not be as significant of a problem.
• Repeats generally are ineffective. Each time you defeat the same player in the period of 24 hours, you earn less and less honor. While it might seem like an easy kill even if you get a bit fewer points, it really is not worth it, especially if that can also provide unneeded attention from the opposing guild.
• The riskiest way of getting a big amount of honor all at once is through slaying the leader of the enemy fraction. While the task is far from easy, not only your team will get the benefit from it, anyone who has managed to contribute to the winner will be rewarded for all the efforts. So even if you manage to get some damage inflicted on him you still get a lot of points. And, of course, if you do the most damage it will be the equivalent of many regular kills, so carefully choose what to prioritize according to your own skills.
• Do not forget about the decay: if you decided to get to the top ranks and stay there, you will need to actively take part in PvP regularly, so you can not just sit this out. Of course, if your aim is just to get the gear or special mounts, keeping the earned rank is not an issue, everything you have bought will remain in your possession even if the rank drops.
• If you need honor to progress through the PvP ranking, you need to take into consideration the server you are playing at. If there are too many players, the amount of honor you will have to get will be significantly higher. It might not be as noticeable on the lower ranks but if you are aiming to get the 14 Rank, get ready for the fact that you might have to earn either 300k or 1kk of honor.

While the described tips can prove to be quite helpful, you still need to show a lot of proficiency in the game and the knowledge of various gameplay mechanics as well as the specifics of each class you might face as an opponent. At the same time, all the helpful information needs to be used wisely and according to each in-game situation. The tactics need to be chosen and shifted so that you do not become an easy and predictable target as well.
