Crush your enemies with a repeatable battleground quest in 2.4
Have you ever wondered what to do with your spare battleground marks? You've got all the PvP mounts and are well stocked up on potions. It looks like in patch 2.4 you will be able tot urn them in for honor. Our friends at MMO Champion posted a screenshot of the new repeatable battleground quest. To complete the quest, just bring the quest giver a mark of honor from each of the four battlegrounds and they hand you honor. The first time you complete the quest you also get about twelve gold along with the honor. Each subsequent turn-in is worth 319 honor, no gold.
This is excellent news for players who have been battling away for honor rewards but have been at a loss for what to do with extra marks. No more tokens decaying away in mail boxes. Since this is a repeatable quest, not a daily, quest players will be able to turn in their excess marks right away. If you have a hundred of each mark ready to turn in when the Sunwell patch goes live, you'll be looking at 31,900 honor. Be prepared!
Of course all things on the public test realm are subject to adjustment or deletion. After disappointing news about battleground changes, this is pretty exciting.

This is good. I pray to the gaming gods they don't take it out.

Over the course of one-hundred days.

Guess you decided not to read this part.

Too bad the marks are needed for PvP gear, so really you are just wasting time with this. If you think about it, the honor required for most PvP rewards can be gathered in the same amount of time it requires to get the marks. If you give up marks for honor, you will probably have a ton of extra honor after farming new marks to get your rewards. Doesn't make much sense to me at the moment.

You must roll Horde...
I've been deleting marks out of my mailbox like crazy every weekend for the past month.
Matthew Rossi Feb 11th 2008 3:15PM
This isn't always the case. After you buy gear, you can find yourself honor short and mark heavy (happened to my tauren, he's got 60 AV marks left and is at about 3k honor because I play my tank more now.)
If, like my human, you have around 20 of each BG mark and only 4k honor, you could trade in all your marks to get honor, then go back into the grind. Furthermore, if you're heading for 100 of each kind of mark, now you can straight up convert them.

That means I have to break my vow of never playing AV again. :( I have dozens of extra marks of the other three.
Ironhide Feb 11th 2008 3:25PM
i am the exact opposite. 96 AV tokens. Less than 10 of any other BG
The biggest bonus to this I can see is its now almost worth while entering into a BG that you might lose all the time (like EOTS with my current 1-26 win/lose record).
I have the marks for my next piece, just not the honor, this will let me do other BG's while i wait for my 15 min AV queue and mean that AV wont be the sole BG that earns me honor (about 2500 a day from 5 runs)
Jasperwind Feb 11th 2008 3:35PM
Are you Horde or Alliance? Which battlegroup?
I'm Alliance, and I got the 20 marks I needed from playing 18 games. One win, 17 losses.
Now you can see why I don't want to play AV again.
Alch Feb 11th 2008 3:15PM
I kinda like it. Just think you are 200 honor from that great piece of gear you want. Just turn in some marks and you have yourself some gear.
JPN Feb 11th 2008 3:16PM
Wow...could the honor come any more easily...
VincentMagius Feb 11th 2008 3:28PM
Just a bit. You could sell your tokens to a PvP vendor/Battlemaster individually for honor. That way, you can honor grind AV and sell those off and keep the others for gear. Maybe increase the number of tokens you can hold too. I had 120 AV, 20 WSG, 25 AB, and 60 EoTS tokens last time I bought an item.
AV is fast enough and the honor is good enough to grind in. EoTS is fast enough, but annoying with a bad group. WSG takes too long if you're just after tokens. AB is OK, just not for me.
