PvP ranking sys. : World of Warcraft General Discussions

i havnt played much PvP but played wow for a while now. just started getting into after hearing about the rad gear u can aquire from it.

but how does the system work exacly, like is it based of the amount of HK's ur get or your Honor point's you get. or vice versa.??

Well, pretty much it's about how many unassisted (meaning more honor) or assisted (less honor) you can aquire from killing an enemy player. Some people farm AlteracValley for non-stop pvp and hk's but for little honor each kill. Others like warsong and Arathi Basin mainly because you get more honor and solo kills since there is less people. The more people you kill unassisted, the more honor you get. It's an easy system, but a pain in the !@#$%^&* past Knight Captain or whicever the horde rank is that allows all of the rare gear to be purchased.

horde highest rank is High Warlord

Alliance is Grnd MArshall (I think)

I don't think he was asking about the different levels but more of as in how the pvp level system works. Here's how it works. Your pvp rank has nothing to do with your honorable kills and there is no set number for how much honor you need to obtain a certain rank (i think there is a minimum for the higher ranks though). The ranks go from 1-14. How many people can be a rank depend on your server size. If you have a bigger server more people can be a certain rank because it's done by percentages. Only 0.1% of players can be rank 14. So if you had 1000 players only one person could be rank 14. Also honor from killing another player isn't just determined by if you do it yourself and the level difference. It's based on their level compared to yours. Their PvP rank compared to yours. And if you you were assisted in your kill.
