TBC Anniversary Honor Points Boost

Why Honor Is the First PvP Currency of Season 3

Honor is the one PvP currency in TBC Anniversary that waits for nothing. Arena points arrive once a week and only above 10 rated games. Honor points, however, arrive while you play, on any day, in any battleground. There is no rating gate on them either. Because of that, honor is where every Season 3 PvP character starts. A TBC honor points boost is the fastest way to start it.

What the honor buys in Season 3 is the reason it matters. The Merciless Gladiator set — last season’s arena gear — now sells for honor. So do the Vindicator off-pieces, the rings, the neck and the PvP trinket. Together they give a character the resilience it needs for its first rated games, before any of them are played. Honor gets you into arena; rating gets you the weapon. That is what a TBC arena rating boost is for. The only limit is the counter itself. You can store 75,000 honor at most, and the game stops adding above it. Call it an honor farm, an honor boost or Burning Crusade Anniversary honor points boosting — the product is the same. Our players fill the counter in sessions, and you spend it on the honor gear you choose.

Where Honor Comes From: Battlegrounds, World PvP, Dailies

Three sources feed the counter on a Burning Crusade Fresh Classic realm. First, battlegrounds: every honorable kill and every objective pays honor points, and each map also pays its own Marks of Honor. Second, world PvP objectives: Halaa in Nagrand, the towers of Hellfire Peninsula, the Spirit Towers in Terokkar Forest and the Twin Spire in Zangarmarsh. Third, the PvP dailies. Above all, the Call to Arms battleground of the week, which pays a bonus on top of the match itself.

Marks of Honor and What Our Team Queues

Marks matter because the vendor may still ask for them on the off-set. They only drop in the battleground they belong to. For example, a belt priced in Arathi Basin marks cannot be paid for with Alterac Valley wins. Therefore our team queues by what the order needs, not by habit. The Call to Arms map comes first, because the daily bonus is the highest honor per hour of the week. Then come the battlegrounds whose marks your off-set pieces require. Which maps run fastest changes with the region’s queue and the weekend. On EU and US the answer is rarely the same on the same day, and a TBC Anniversary honor farming run that ignores the queue is a slow one. Consequently the honor per hour we quote at the order is our team’s own rate on your region. It is not a number copied from a guide.

That rate is also what turns a package into an ETA. An honor farming service that names the sessions before you pay is one that has measured them.

What Your Honor Buys in Season 3

The honor vendor in Season 3 sells the Merciless Gladiator armor — chest, gloves, legs, helm and shoulders. It also sells the Vindicator’s bracers, belt and boots, plus the rings, the neck, the cloak and the PvP trinket. None of it needs rating. A full honor gear set runs into the tens of thousands of honor; the 75,000 cap exists for a reason. Blizzard is still tuning slot prices, so this card lists no per-slot figures until we read them off the vendor. Weapons are not on this list. They are arena-point and rating items, covered by the Vengeful weapon boost.

Honor Gear Buy Order

The buy order our class guides use is short. Trinket first, because resilience on the trinket slot is the cheapest survivability in the game. Then the four large slots — chest, legs, helm, gloves — which carry most of the set’s resilience. After that the off-set: bracers, belt and boots, plus the marks they ask for. Rings and neck last.

That order is not about price. It is about what each piece adds per point of honor: the trinket and the four large slots carry almost all the resilience, and the off-set fills the gaps once the core is in place. A TBC Anniversary character with the trinket and the four large slots is already playable in 2v2; a character with only the off-set is not. So a 30,000 honor boost that goes into the right five pieces does more than a 50,000 boost spread across nine. If you would rather have the set delivered than the currency, the TBC PvP gear boost does the vendor run.

How the TBC Honor Points Boost Works: Packages, Sessions, the Cap

Pick the amount — 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, 30,000, 50,000 or 75,000 honor — and the format. Then the honor farm runs in sessions on your schedule. Each session is a block of battlegrounds and world objectives on your character. The marks come with the wins, and the honorable kills stay on your record. Before you pay, the card shows the ETA in sessions and days at our team’s rate. Honor comes from playing, not from waiting for a reset, so the ETA is about hours in the queue, not weeks.

The cap is the one rule we manage for you. Honor stops accruing at 75,000, and anything a session would earn above it is simply lost. So if your package would cross the cap, we stop short of it. Then we tell you to spend before the next session. In self-play you sit in the group with our team and play your own character. Your spec and gear do not matter, because honor comes from objectives and kills, not from your damage.

Piloted means our player runs the session on your account at an agreed time. Remote Control puts our player on your screen while you watch. Express adds more sessions per day. It does not make a battleground shorter, so the honor per hour stays the same and only the calendar moves.

Honor Points Boost vs PvP Gear Boost vs Arena Points Boost

Three cards, three questions. If you want the currency and want to choose the pieces yourself, this is the card. Honor on the counter, marks in the bag, your call at the vendor. If you want the set on your character and nothing to decide, order the TBC PvP gear boost instead. It handles the vendor and equips the honor set for you. If the goal is Vengeful Gladiator, this season’s arena set, that is arena points. They are paid once a week, by rating. The TBC arena points boost runs on that schedule.

However, most characters need both. The honor set is the entry ticket now; the Vengeful set is the weeks after it. Order the TBC honor points boost first and start the arena weeks on the resilience the honor gear gives. Then let the arena points calculator count the weeks from your rating. The two currencies never compete for the same slot, so there is no reason to wait on one before the other. Honor points fill the armor today; arena points replace it piece by piece as the resets pass. In that sense an honor boost is not a substitute for the arena weeks — it is what makes the first of them winnable.

Honor Cap, Marks and the Season 3 Transition

Three facts close the topic. The honor cap is 75,000 stored honor. Above it nothing is added. There is no weekly cap underneath it, which is why a TBC honor points boost can run every day of the week. Marks of Honor cap at 100 per battleground, and each map’s marks come only from that map. So a boost that needs Eye of the Storm marks queues Eye of the Storm.

Finally, the Season 2 to Season 3 transition converted unspent arena points into honor at 1 to 10. A character that ended last season at 5,000 arena points started this one with 50,000 honor already on the counter. That is why many characters sit near the cap on day one. It is also why the Requirements above ask you to spend before the boost starts. Check the counter, spend what the conversion gave you, and then order the amount that is actually missing. That is the whole honor boost, honestly described: a counter, a cap, and the sessions that fill the gap between them on a TBC Anniversary realm.
