Honor point (pre-4.0.1)

Template:Breadcrumb4

Honor Point refers to a point earned through PvP exploits.

Overview

Honor point refers to points awarded by competing against enemy faction players that can be turned in along with marks of honor for honor rewards.

Added with content patch 2.0.1.

There are several sources of Honor:

• Honorable Kills
• Killing racial leaders (faction bosses)
• Achieving Battleground or World PvP objectives
• Being nearby/in combat with a raid member doing any of the above activities will also net you honor points.
• Turning in Silithyst to your faction's camp in Silithus successfully rewards you 20 [Honor] points. This is one of the few methods, if not the only one, to attain honor points without participating directly in PvP.

Honor points are calculated daily, approximately between 12AM to 2AM PST for American servers, and between 12AM and 2AM CET for European servers.

Currently (patch 2.0.10) players can have maximum 75 000 honor. Everything earned above that is lost.

Earning Honor Points

Honorable kills

Honorable kills is the simplest method of earning honor points. Kill a member of the opposing faction and you will receive a number of honor points, depending on your level, their level, any diminishing returns (see below) and if you are in a party or not.

There is a diminishing return on multiple kills of the same player, which will reduce the honor received by 10%. After 10 kills that particular opponent will no longer yield any honor points when killed. This factor is reset daily, when the honor calculations are run on the servers.

Racial Leaders

Killing racial leaders or city bosses of Capital Cities also gives a significant number of Honor Points when killed, however these are often challenging, as you will have to deal with a significant number of opposing faction members as well. Usually best attempted in raid groups.
