World of Warcraft PVP Rewards

PVP (Player Versus Player) is an important aspect of World of Warcraft, many players choosing this path over PVE (Player Versus Environment). In World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade, the "Honor Points" gained from each succesful enemy kill can be used as currency to buy PVP rewards. Please check out our Honor PVP Rewards section to find out exactly what you can buy for your character using Honor Points.

World of Warcraft PVP can mean anything from one-on-one combat, World PVP, Arena PVP or Battlegrounds PVP. Each of these combat methods can be further divided into several other categories:

  • One-on-One PVP Combat - Duels (No rewards, mostly used for practice)

  • One-on-One PVP Combat - Normal PVP (Attacking the other faction's player in areas you're allowed to and if his or her PVP Flag is on)

  • World PVP - Several areas in the game offer World PVP objectives that can give reputation and honor, but also have specific rewards. Check out our World PVP Rewards section to find out more.

  • Arena PVP - There are currently 3 types of Arenas, depending on the size of the team: 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5. Each Arena team will have a rating and based on your rating, you can earn additional Arena Points each week. Check out the Arena Season 1 Rewards and Arena Season 2 Rewards sections to find out what you can currently buy with Arena Points.

  • Battlegrounds PVP - Warsong Gulch - 10 versus 10 group PVP, in the style of Capture the Flag matches from other games, with the winners being the first team that captures 3 enemy flags.

  • Battlegrounds PVP - Arathi Basin - 15 versus 15 group PVP, in the style of Domination, or Control from other games. There are 5 strategic points on the map that earn the team that controlls them "Victory Points". The first team to amass 2000 such points wins the battleground.

  • Battlegrounds PVP - The Eye of the Storm - 15 versus 15 group PVP, this battleground has only been introduced with World of Warcraft The Burning Crusade and is a combination of World PVP, Arathi Basin style of resource controlling and Warsong Gulch capture the flag.
