    Default Where to honor grind?

    Looking to honor grind my Ferals.
    Curious if Alterac Valley is still the best place.

    On Whirlwind, alliance has 10-15 minute queues.
    AV is a 50% win rate, the other BG's somewhere in the 30% range.
    * Assuming level 85 rates, will be similar to level 80.

    TB is horde 95% of the time.

    the call to arms weekend is the same for all Battle Groups right ?

    So eye of storm weekend for this week. That's your answer. Queue for tol barad every chance you get. Don't forget wintergrasp weekly.

    that's about it.

    I actually counted. I do random BG non-stop (queuing tol barad every chance I get). Including the queue time, I get about 2k honor per 5-6 hrs. This is killing my health lol. Horde wins 30-40% BGs in bloodlust.

    Don't forget to do what you like, might delay a burnout on the farming. If that's likely to happen. Since endless eots can be quite dull.

    I enjoy the Random BG queue, the bonus honor is nice and the variety keeps things fun and interesting. The only BG I really don't care for is Strand of the Ancients, so overall I've always found it to be a safe bet.

    I also tried a Wintergrasp the other day, it wasn't very exciting as it was essentially my team and 6 other people (most of whom were under level 85), but it turned out to be decent honor. I was able to complete four quests at 24 honor each, and another 100 or so honor from victory (we had all the bases capped, so could be bonus honor).

    I've previously done two honor grinds.

    A little bit on a Hunter, pre BC.
    Somewhere around 2-3 hours a day, for a month or so.

    And then a lot more intensive with Shammies.
    Initially with just the one, who played 6-8 hours of AV daily, for 2 months.

    Both of those were single toon grinds.
    Have done a little here and there with teams.
    But not like 50+ hours a week.

    The Ferals want their gear.
    And the Priest + DK's will too.

    i just have to ask. where were you when everybody danced back and forth on the tol barad bridge -_-. Gotta get at least 1 team maxed out in honor on that.

    now it is too late. honor is so hard to get.

    Unfortunately, was taking my time leveling.
    Not in a rush at all, so missed out on that.

    I'm doing chain Eye of the storms. I hardly lose, and find it pretty fun.
    Been here for 12 months, and just now found how to add a Signature.

    I like random BG queue also. About 50% win rate for me and the bonus honour makes it better than anything other than the Call to Arms BGs. Best CtA BGs for me are in order of win rate: EotS, Strand, AV, Isle, AB, WSG. Haven't done enough of the new ones to work out how successful I can be there.

    I also try to hit TB as much as possible mainly for the rep and tokens as well as a decent amount of honour if you win. Pity for all of us that missed out on the TB glut. Would be good if it were possible to ake the change back to 360 honour retrospective to erase the imbalance it has caused in other PvP endeavours.

    Upcoming weekend is AV call to arms here. Most of my 5x elemental will have the crafted pvp gear. Still unsure if I'll level up my 2nd team next week in AV or if I just honor grind with the shamies.
