Blizzard’s PvP overview for World of Warcraft: Forever describes a two-part progression system built around Honor and Rank Points. Players earn both through battlegrounds and relevant PvP quests, with highlighted battlegrounds receiving extra attention during their holiday weeks.
Honor and Rank Points
Honor is a currency earned from PvP participation, including defeating other players, completing battlegrounds, and finishing relevant quests. Blizzard says it reviewed battleground Honor gains so players are not pushed toward one map purely for efficiency.
Rank Points advance players through familiar PvP ranks. The progression leads to High Warlord for the Horde and Grand Marshal for the Alliance, with a weekly cap on Rank Points. The source describes this as a more accessible version of the original system while retaining its basic structure.
The available reward track is:
- Rank 1: Tabard
- Rank 2: PvP trinket
- Rank 3: Cloaks
- Rank 4: Necklace
- Rank 5: Combat potions
- Rank 6: Tabard
- Rank 7: Battle Standard
- Rank 8: Epic bracers and epic belt upgrade token
- Rank 9: Epic boots upgrade token
- Rank 10: Epic gloves upgrade token
- Rank 11: Mounts
- Rank 12: Epic legs, shoulders upgrade token
- Rank 13: Epic chest, helm upgrade token
- Rank 14: Epic weapons
Players can check their rank, current Rank Points, and available rank-based purchases from the Player vs. Player tab in the Character Pane.
Two PvP gear sets
Honor can purchase a blue-quality PvP gear set and an epic-quality set. The epic version requires the corresponding blue item and an Emboldened Seal. Blizzard says Emboldened Seals also have rank requirements.
The source specifically gives Shaman as an example of expanded options, with healer, melee, and caster PvP gear sets. It also mentions new and reworked items for specializations that previously lacked suitable choices.
Seasonal tasks add more progression
Each PvP season includes a weekly task journey. Completing those tasks grants Honor and Rank Points, while three tasks per season also grant a Legacy Point. Blizzard says those Legacy-linked tasks remain available in future seasons.
What this does not establish
This overview does not provide a gameplay build or a live access date. It also does not establish complete seasonal rules beyond the described weekly tasks, or guarantee that the listed rewards and requirements cannot change before release.
