WoW Forever PvP Ranks
WoW Forever has 14 PvP ranks each season, from Private or Scout to Grand Marshal or High Warlord. You rank up by reaching a Rank Points total, not by placing on a ladder, and a weekly cap means Rank 14 takes at least 10 weeks.
How PvP ranks work
- Earning Rank Points: battlegrounds and PvP quests, including the weekly Journey quests. Holiday-week battlegrounds give extra. The beta game data also names tasks handed out in Gadgetzan.
- Ranking up: reach the total for the next rank. Icy Veins reports that you never spend Rank Points and that, unlike original Classic, they do not decay during a season.
- Titles and rewards: each rank gives a faction title and unlocks items to buy with Honor. The Player vs. Player tab of your character pane (C) shows your rank, Rank Points and the rewards you can buy.
- Honor is separate: it pays for the gear, and you can hold up to 25,000. Spending Honor does not lower your rank. See Honor and Rank Points.
Weekly rank caps
Each season week caps the highest rank you can hold, from Rank 3 in week 1 to Rank 14 in week 10.
| Season week | Highest rank | Rank Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 2,700 |
| 2 | 5 | 5,250 |
| 3 | 6 | 6,750 |
| 4 | 7 | 8,400 |
| 5 | 8 | 10,200 |
| 6 | 9 | 12,150 |
| 7 | 11 | 16,600 |
| 8 | 12 | 19,100 |
| 9 | 13 | 21,750 |
| 10+ | 14 | 24,750 |
Rank Points: the total that rank needs. Beta game data from wago.tools, build 1.60.1.70205, read . Blizzard has announced the weekly cap but not these numbers; Icy Veins lists the same caps.
Weekly pace for Rank 14
- 3,150 Rank Points a week from week 1 reaches Rank 14 (24,750 points) in week 10, the earliest possible, if points above a week's cap are lost. At 3,000 a week, you get there in week 11.
- Week 7 is the biggest step: the cap rises two ranks, from 12,150 to 16,600 points, so staying on the cap takes 4,450 Rank Points that week. Other weeks take 1,500 to 3,000.
- Starting late: the cap limits the rank you hold, not a week's earnings, so you can catch up to the current week's cap.

Key rank rewards by week
The main rewards from Blizzard's list, with the earliest week the cap allows each rank.
| Rank | Earliest week | What it unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| Rank 2 | 1 | PvP trinket |
| Rank 3 | 1 | Cloaks; Legacy point |
| Rank 5 | 2 | Combat potions |
| Rank 7 | 4 | Battle standard; Legacy point |
| Rank 8 | 5 | First epic armor: epic bracers and an epic belt upgrade token |
| Rank 10 | 7 | Epic gloves upgrade token; Legacy point |
| Rank 11 | 7 | Mounts |
| Rank 13 | 9 | Last epic armor tokens (chest and helm); Legacy point |
| Rank 14 | 10 | Epic weapons; Legacy point |
Rank 13 completes the epic armor upgrades, so Rank 14 adds only weapons and a Legacy point. Every rank's rewards and prices are in PvP gear and rewards.
Seasons and resets
- Icy Veins reports that your rank resets when a season ends and that each season brings new rewards. Blizzard's Tim Jones told Kotaku that Rank 14 is reachable within a season or patch cycle.
- Blizzard has not announced when the first season starts or how long it lasts. Icy Veins estimates 20 to 25 weeks from Blizzard's roadmap, which lists PvP season refreshes in spring and summer 2027.
- Each season has a Journey of weekly PvP quests that give Honor and Rank Points. The three that also award a Legacy point stay available in later seasons.
PvP Legacy points
PvP challenges award 12 Legacy points and cannot be completed in Hardcore. Legacy points are shared by all your non-Hardcore characters, and each character can spend up to 16 at launch. Perks such as For Great Honor, which increases Honor from PvP, are covered in PvP preparation.
- Ranks 3, 7, 10, 13 and 14: one point each, earliest in weeks 1, 4, 7, 9 and 10.
- Exalted with each battleground reputation: one point each, four in total.
- Journey quests for weeks 4, 7 and 10 of the Field of Honor PvP Season's Journey: one point each.
| Battleground | Alliance reputation | Horde reputation |
|---|---|---|
| Warsong Gulch | Silverwing Sentinels | Warsong Outriders |
| Arathi Basin | The League of Arathor | The Defilers |
| Alterac Valley | Stormpike Guard | Frostwolf Clan |
| Darkspear Islands | Theramore Expeditionary Force | Darkspear Raiders |
