What the Heck are Honor Points and PvP Tokens?
Honor Points and PvP Tokens are rewards your character earns from winning in PvP combat. When your character accumulates enough of these, you can use them to buy your character better gear than they could otherwise get their hands on. In other words, you definitely want to accumulate Honor Points and PvP Tokens. This is how you do it:
Honor Points
When you kill characters from the enemy faction, you will earn Honor Points. More correctly, you will earn honor as long as you kill characters that are no more than 8 levels below your character. Killing opponents who are more than 8 levels below you is considered poor sportsmanship, and doesn’t gain you honor. So target characters that are higher level than you, your level, or at least within 8 levels below you if you want to increase your honor.
After you earn enough Honor Points you will be able to use them, along with Battleground Marks of Honor (earned, not surprisingly, for your actions in the battlegrounds), to buy stuff in the Champions’ Hall at Stormwind City or Orgrimmar’s Hall of Legends. Lots of interesting stuff is available, including consumables like potions, gems and trinkets, even superior or epic armor and weapons.
You can turn in one Mark of Honor from each battleground to gain extra honor as part of the Concerted Efforts quest (Alliance) or the For Great Honor quest (Horde). You can also repeat these quests to generate additional honor.
Earning PvP Tokens
You can earn PvP Tokens in the Outland (the Mark of Honor Hold or Halaa Battle Token for example) as a reward for killing opposing players. These are like the Marks of Honor you earn in the battlegrounds, except PvP Tokens are only accepted by PvP vendors in the zone the tokens are from. So if your character had Marks of Honor Hold, for example, Honor Hold PvP vendors would accept them but Halaa PvP Vendors would not. PvP Tokens become of little value when you get up to Level 70 or so, as the gear you can buy with them is meant for lower-level characters.
Now you know about how Honor Points and PvP Tokens can help your character get better gear. And you know where to go to earn them. But there’s so much more to learn if you really want to dominate PvP combat, or even hold your own against more experienced players.
