Best ways to gain rank

Best ways to gain rank

by ebashuvkashu » Tue Dec 22, 2015 9:06 am

Have a couple of questions. I play on pvp server's horde side.
1 - What rank can I reach realistically playing only solo, without premades? And what weekly honor amount do I need for it?
2 - On weekend I play only that weekend's BG, right? What BG should I play when there's no BG weekend?
3 - Do I turn in BG's honor marks individually or do I collect them and turn in as a bunch of 3 marks of each BG (Quest for great honor or smth like that)?

1. really? Without a premade you can make r14?

What would you guys say is the needed Honor per week for getting r10? Every week like 50-70k is enough for a few weeks, or should it be like 100-120k or even more?

2. Which BG is the best for Honor during "non-BG-weekend"? I'd say AB because the games usually end there, no turtling like in AV/WSG.

Alliance perspective here
AB is probably the best for non BG weekend. It might even be best during AV weekend.

For marks, I generally save up WSG and AB marks and only turn them in solo if im going to go over the 20 mark cap (they get mailed t you but only last 2 days)
AV weekend I turn in the 3-at-once 6 times, since I had the marks saved up. I'll then play enough AV to reach to AV mark cap and save them for WSG weekend (playing AB during the non-weekend)
WSG I play enough to turn in another 6 of the 3-of-each quest, then reach the WSG mark cap again.
AB weekend I just turn in AB marks, cus going back to AV is pointless during non-AV weekend

I kept track of my honor/standing/RP from rank 6-10. Stats are below. (Alliance side)

23800 RP (Rank 6)
WSG Weekend
133324 Honor 1891 HKs standing 339
8509 RP gained

27549 RP (Rank 7)
AB Weekend
110111 Honor 1151 HKs standing 379
8215 RP gained

30254 RP (Rank 8)
AV Weekend
133975 Honor 1503 HKs standing 268
8993 RP gained

33196 RP (Rank 8)
WSG Weekend
161788 Honor 1613 HKs standing 316
8678 RP gained

35235 RP (Rank 9)
AB Weekend
180659 Honor 2010 HKs standing 240
9282 RP gained

37470 RP (Rank 9)
AV Weekend
149407 Honor 1493 HKs standing 243
9259 RP gained

39235 RP (Rank 9)
WSG Weekend
205752 Honor 1580 HKs standing 228
9494 RP gained

40882 RP (Rank 10)

This last weekend was very easy since I found some premades to queue with or snipe. Pugging is cancer

OK, I did play PvP when vanilla was live but I remember shit since it is all changed comapring to live now.... Why would one save marks or spend marks (apart from capping it). I mean what is your logic behind the decision on this?

You save them so you can turn in the 3-at-once quest, which is double honor
