Here's what you need to know about how PvP progression works in World of Warcraft: Forever.

The Dual Currency System

In World of Warcraft: Forever, PvP progression is split into two complementary mechanics: Honor and Rank Points.

Honor acts as a direct spending currency earned by beating enemy players, winning battlegrounds, and completing PvP quests. Additionally, you can participate in highlighted Holiday Week Battlegrounds for bonus payouts.

To make sure that players fully enjoy the map rotation rather than feeling forced into a single route, Honor acquisition rates have been standardized across all battleground maps.

Rank Points, on the other hand, measure your seasonal standing and allow you to climb through the classic 14 PvP ranks toward the Grand Marshal or High Warlord titles.

Rank Points have a weekly cap to keep the competitive grind manageable. In Forever, you can easily track your current rank, points, and unlocked rewards through the Player vs. Player tab in your Character Pane.

Gearing Up: Rare, Epic, and Spec-Specific Sets

Earning Honor lets you purchase gear across two different power tiers: a Rare (Blue) base set and a high-tier Epic (Purple) set.

To upgrade a Rare piece into an Epic piece, you need to trade in the base blue item along with an Emboldened Set. The aforementioned set becomes available once you reach specific rank milestones.

World of Warcraft: Forever features brand-new and reworked PvP gear sets to make sure that every talent tree is covered. For example, Shamans now have dedicated fear sets for Restoration, Enhancement, and Elemental.

There's also Legacy System Connections. There are three specific seasonal tasks that award account-wide Legacy Points. They are permanently available to complete even in future seasons because they are tied to the Legacy System.
