How Honor Works in WoW TBC and TBC Anniversary
Honor in WoW TBC Classic and TBC Anniversary is earned primarily through battlegrounds, honorable kills, and objective participation. Unlike the old Classic ranking system (where honor decayed weekly), TBC uses a direct-purchase system — you earn honor points and spend them at PvP vendors for gear.
Key things to know about TBC honor:
- No weekly decay — your honor accumulates until you spend it
- Honor cap applies — you cannot hold more than 75,000 honor points at once
- Battleground marks — some items also require marks from specific battlegrounds
- Bonus weekends — certain battlegrounds grant extra honor during bonus weekends
- Personal rating — some higher-end PvP gear requires a minimum personal arena rating in addition to honor
How to Use the WoW TBC Honor Calculator
Enter your current honor and your target honor. If you are farming for a specific PvP item, you can choose a gear goal or enter a custom honor target. Then enter your average honor per battleground, average game length, and average queue time. The calculator will estimate your honor per hour and how many battlegrounds you need.
Enter how many days you have available and how many hours you can play per day. The calculator will then show whether your farming schedule is realistic and give you a daily honor goal.
Honor vs Arena Points — What Is the Difference?
Honor and arena points are separate currency systems in WoW TBC.
Honor is earned through battlegrounds and PvP kills. It is used to buy the base tier of PvP gear — weapons, rings, trinkets, and some armor pieces — directly from the PvP vendor without any rating requirement.
Arena points are earned from rated arena matches each week. They are used to buy the higher-tier Season gear sets, which also require a minimum personal rating.

WoW TBC Honor Farming Tips
Honor per hour is the most useful metric for PvP planning. A player earning 500 honor every 25 minutes farms far slower than a player earning 900 honor every 15 minutes. Queue time matters too — long queues reduce real honor per hour even if each battleground gives good honor.
Common ways to increase honor per hour:
- Play during bonus battleground weekends for extra honor
- Join coordinated groups or premades to reduce queue and game time
- Prioritise objectives — objective participation increases honor per game
- Choose faster battlegrounds when queue times are similar
- Track your real average honor per game and update the calculator as you play
Example Honor Calculation
Current honor: 5,000 | Target honor: 30,000 | Honor still needed: 25,000
Average honor per battleground: 500 | Game length: 20 minutes | Queue time: 5 minutes
Total time per game = 25 minutes. At 500 honor per game, estimated honor per hour ≈ 1,200.
To farm 25,000 honor: ~50 battlegrounds and ~20.8 hours of total farming. Spread over 7 days = approximately 3 hours per day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weekly honor cap in WoW TBC?
In TBC Classic and TBC Anniversary, the maximum honor you can hold at any time is 75,000 honor points. If you reach this cap, any additional honor earned is lost. Plan your spending accordingly to avoid hitting the cap during a long farming session.
How does honor work in TBC Anniversary vs original TBC Classic?
TBC Anniversary uses the same direct-purchase honor system as the original TBC Classic release — no weekly decay, no ranking system. You accumulate honor and spend it directly on PvP gear at the vendor. The main difference is that TBC Anniversary may include seasonal adjustments or updated item costs depending on the phase.
How long does it take to reach Rank 14 in WoW Classic honor?
Rank 14 is part of the original Classic (vanilla) honor ranking system, not TBC. In original WoW Classic, Rank 14 typically required 13–14 consecutive weeks of being among the top honor earners on your server, which historically meant 10–16 hours of farming per day. This calculator is built for TBC’s direct-purchase honor system, which is much more accessible.
Can I use this calculator for TBC Anniversary?
Yes. Enter your real honor values for your current TBC Anniversary server and the calculator will produce an accurate estimate for your grind.
Does this calculator include battleground marks?
Yes. The marks planner lets you enter owned and required marks for Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, Alterac Valley, and Eye of the Storm.
What is a good honor per hour in TBC?
Casual solo farming typically yields 800–1,200 honor per hour depending on queue times. Coordinated groups or premades during bonus weekends can reach 1,500–2,000+ honor per hour. Use the calculator’s farming presets to compare scenarios.
Is this an official Blizzard tool?
No. This is an unofficial fan-made calculator and is not affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment. Results are estimates only — always confirm honor costs and requirements in-game.
