Honor Farming Alterac Valley

If you are serious about honor farming, Alterac Valley is the place to be, especially since the 2.3 patch changes.

You can see the kind of honor you can get in the image to the left. I am talking about 1300-1500 honor per hour if you keep at it.

It doesn't always flow like that, but I easily average that if I play for any amount of time. With the patch changes, there are 3 keys to Alteric Valley:

  • 1. Towers. These are the number one key to Alterac Vally. Burn down the towers. Burning each tower gives you 62 honor, and Galv gives another 62. Burning the first 3 towers, and Galv gives a min of 186 honor, even if you lose every thing else. Burning the towers also removes a WM from Drek, making him easier to kill.
  • 2. Speed. Everything is on a timer, and the tower and GY timers are shortened to 3 and 4 min respectively. The faster you cap a tower, the faster it burns and you can move on. YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL THE ARCHERS TO CAP THE TOWER. Cap it, then kill the archers.
  • 3. Graveyards. Don't skip the graveyards, and try and defend them. If you have no GY and meet some defense, everyone will get sent back to the beginning. This results in a turtle, which is less honor per hour. Defend open graveyards until they flip.
Also make sure to check for the daily pvp quest. If it is AV, that can net you an additional 400 honor. If you play for 2 hours, thats like 200 honor per hour (I don't know math really ^^) If the pvp quest is not AV, I don't try for it. I will que AV and whatever else BG it is, and if I can get a free win, I do it, but don't invest the time. If you haven't played AV since the patch, try it. It is a lot more balanced, faster, and more honor then ever. It is your number one honor grind bet.
