If you want to equip your freshly leveled to level 60 characters with good epics and/or a fancy mount before the launch of WoW: Burning Crusade Classic, you should play a little PvP and get some Alterac Valley Battleground tokens. The items of the corresponding faction are now available without reputation requirements.

As you know, the pre-patch phase of WoW: Burning Crusade Classic only lasts two weeks and many players want to use this short phase to prepare characters for the leveling phase in Outland. One way to do this is to play more PvP and buy the powerful rank 13 and rank 14 items for honor and tokens.

However, the epic weapons and armor are very expensive, and at the same time, since the hotfix on May 20, only a few honor points are awarded per battleground game. Nevertheless: Blizzard promises double honor from all sources for the rest of the pre-patch phase, and there are also other very good epics that you can buy for significantly less honor.

Off to Alterac Valley!

With the pre-patch, Blizzard has also removed the reputation requirements for the items of the various PvP factions and replaced the gold prices with honor and tokens. The Alterac Valley Battleground factions’ offerings are particularly good. But see for yourself:

• Shoulder girdle made of gnoll skin – 1,530 honor and 10 Alterac Valley badges of honor.
• Quiver of Harpy Skin – 1,530 Honor and 10 Alterac Valley Badges of Honor
• Horn of the Frostwolf Howler – 50 Alterac Valley badges of honor
• Wreath of the Life Giver – 4,760 honor and 25 Alterac Valley badges of honor
• Therazane’s Touch – 4,760 Honor and 25 Alterac Valley Badges of Honor

• Fiery Arcana Folio – 4,760 honor and 25 Alterac Valley badges of honor
• Shadow Force tome – 4,760 honor and 25 Alterac Valley badges of honor
• Ice Lord tome – 4,760 honor and 25 Alterac Valley badges of honor
• The Unstoppable Force – 4,760 honor and 25 Alterac Valley badges of honor
• The Immovable Object – 4,760 Honor and 25 Alterac Valley Badges of Honor
• Don Julio’s Band – 4,590 honor and 25 Alterac Valley badges of honor
• The Mind Breaker – 4,590 honor and 25 Alterac Valley badges of honor
• Don Rodrigo’s Band – 4,590 honor and 25 Alterac Valley badges of honor

The Horde and Alliance faction vendors can be found in the respective PvP camps in the Hill Country foothills, near the entrance to Alterac Valley.

What about the other factions?

You can also stock up on honor and tokens at the faction traders for Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch. Here are the highlight items for the Arathi Basin communities (some of the Alliance counterparts are just named slightly differently):

What is WoW Classic?

World of Warcraft Classic is a true recreation of the original WoW as you know it from 2006. All parts of the game – from combat mechanics and talent trees to character models and zones – have been recreated, contributing to the authentic experience.

Getting Started

All players with an active World of Warcraft subscription or game time on their accounts have access to WoW Classic at no additional cost.

1. Open the Blizzard Battle.net Desktop App and select World of Warcraft from the menu.
2. Select World of Warcraft Classic from the Version menu. If you have more than one World of Warcraft account, you’ll see a second Account drop-down list. In this column, select the active account you want to play with.
3. Click the Install button. The progress bar will tell you when your game is ready to play.
4. Click the Play button when the installation is complete.

You will need to select the realm you want to play on from several different realm types. Make sure you choose the same realm as your friends – in World of Warcraft Classic, you can only group with characters that are on the same realm as you!
