While PvP wasn't heavily featured in Season of Discovery Phase 4, as Phase 5 begins the honor gain system has received some buffs to help players rank up. In Season of Discovery Phase 5, players will be able to reach Rank 13!
The changes to honor gains include:
- Base Honor Gains doubled
- Losing a match in WSG or AB now awards 2 Marks of Honor
- Level 60 PvP Quests for AB and WSG that require handing in 3 Marks of Honor, now award 7500 Honor per turn in

How PvP Honor and Ranks Work in Season of Discovery
Player versus Player - Base honor gains will be doubled starting with the launch of Phase 5 of Season of Discovery.
- We've made several adjustments to the reward structure of Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch to incentivize players to engage with these battlegrounds:
- Losing a match of Warsong Gulch or Arathi Basin now awards 2 Marks of Honor up from 1 mark in Season of Discovery.
- The Level 60 versions of the quests Fight for Warsong Gulch, Battle of Warsong Gulch, Conquering Arathi Basin, and Claiming Arathi Basin now award 7500 honor per turn-in.
- The separation between small group and premade groups has been removed.
- Developer's Note: With the increase in honor rewards as well as the increase in rewards for losing a match of Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin, we are removing the queue separation implemented in earlier phases of Season of Discovery that separates premade groups (groups with more than 5 members) and small groups (groups with 1-5 members). This means that there is a single queue and players can be matched with each other with no restrictions regardless of being solo, in a small group, or in a full premade. We think this is important for the health of these two battlegrounds but we may make further adjustments to this system in future updates.
