Progression

VERIFIED PvP progression has two parts: Honor and Rank Points. [How PvP Progression in World of Warcraft: Forever Works, 2026-10-07]
VERIFIED Ranks have a weekly cap; ultimate titles High Warlord for the Horde or Grand Marshal for the Alliance. [How PvP Progression in World of Warcraft: Forever Works, 2026-10-07]
VERIFIED Honor buys a blue-quality and an epic-quality set; the epic set requires the blue piece plus an Emboldened Seal (rank-gated). [How PvP Progression in World of Warcraft: Forever Works, 2026-10-07]
VERIFIED Seasonal weekly tasks grant Honor and Rank Points; three per season grant a Legacy Point. [How PvP Progression in World of Warcraft: Forever Works, 2026-10-07]

VERIFIED Honor is a currency players earn through taking part in PvP content. This includes defeating other players, completing battlegrounds, and finishing relevant PvP quests. [How PvP Progression in World of Warcraft: Forever Works, 2026-10-07]
VERIFIED As part of these updates, we reviewed Honor gains across battlegrounds so acquisition rates are more consistent across the board. We want players to enjoy the full range of battleground maps without feeling compelled to choose Alterac Valley solely for Honor efficiency.

VERIFIED Teams earn points by controlling four capture points across the Darkspear Islands. The more capture points your team controls, the quicker your team accrues points. A flag waits in the middle of the map, giving both teams another objective to fight over. [Battle for the Darkspear Islands in World of Warcraft: Forever, 2026-10-07]
VERIFIED You can queue for the battleground in a couple of ways. Visit a battlemaster located in any major capital city or in the Barrens (Kalimdor) seek out the Darkspear Raiders base (Horde) at the Merchant Coast or Theramore Expeditionary Force (Alliance) base located at Northwatch, where a portal will take you into the battle. [Battle for the Darkspear Islands in World of Warcraft: Forever, 2026-10-07]
VERIFIED These bases also include vendors with reputation rewards you can acquire as you increase your standing with the Darkspear Raiders or Theramore Expeditionary Force. [Battle for the Darkspear Islands in World of Warcraft: Forever, 2026-10-07]
VERIFIED There is a reputation track for each faction for the Battleground: Darkspear Raiders and Theramore Expeditionary Force. They have gear and consumables that you can purchase including trinkets, rings, cloaks, weapons, armor pieces when hitting different reputation thresholds.
