PvP ranks and the season

The 14 PvP ranks return as a seasonal track: rank pointsRank Points Forever’s PvP ranking currency, from tasks given in Gadgetzan and from battlegrounds: they add up over the season, never decay, and a weekly cap sets the pace. never decay and a weekly cap sets the pace.

How the season works

Rank Points (ES: Puntos de rango)

Rank points are gained by completing tasks given in Gadgetzan or participating in battlegrounds. Rank points increase your PvP Rank which grants you access to purchase special items.

Rank points add up over the season and never decay: your rank is the last threshold your season total has passed.

A cap that rises each week

Each week, the Rank Points cap is increased, up to a maximum of 24,750 for Rank 14.

In week 1 you can reach rank 3; the cap rises every week until rank 14 opens in week 10.

Rank vendors and honor

Each rank unlocks rewards that you buy from the rank vendors: Champions' Hall in Stormwind City (Alliance) and Hall of Legends in Orgrimmar (Horde).

Honor Points is a separate currency for buying PvP items; you can hold up to 25,000.

Because of the weekly cap, rank 14 takes at least 10 weeks (game files). Blizzard has said ranks reset every season; developers said seasons will follow the raid releases.

What does each rank cost?

When can you reach your rank?

PvP rank planner

Plan your climb: pick your start week and target rank, and the planner spreads the rank points evenly within the weekly cap.

Faction

24,750 rank points for rank 14 (Grand Marshal) by week 10.

Steady pace: 3,150 rank points a week for 10 weeks. In weeks 1 to 6 the cap stops you short of that amount, so the weeks after make up for it.

From your start week, the cap allows this rank in week 10 at the earliest.

The cap limits your season total each week, so points above it don’t count; the steady pace is the least you need each week. Values come from the beta files and may change.
