WoW Forever PvP Rank Planner

Say where you stand on the PvP ladder and which rank you are after: the planner counts the Rank Points left, shows week by week what the weekly cap lets you earn, and lists what each rank on the way unlocks.

Rank Points per rank, the weekly cap and the rank screen’s rewards are read from the beta client (build 1.60.1.70291); Blizzard’s October 7 article confirms the system and the two ends of the ladder. Beta data can change before launch. Last checked .

Where the WoW Forever PvP rank planner gets its numbers

  • Rank Points per rank come from the beta client’s rank track: 750 for rank 1, more for each rank after it, 24,750 for all 14. Blizzard’s screenshot of the PvP tab shows the same two ends (0 of 750 for a new character, a maximum of 24,750 for rank 14); the ranks between them are client data only.
  • The weekly cap is confirmed by Blizzard (“ranks have a weekly cap”) without a schedule. The schedule is the client’s: each week of a season allows a higher rank, and rank 14 is first allowed in week 10. The planner treats the cap as the PvP tab words it, a running total: a week’s cap is the Rank Points of the highest rank that week allows.
  • Your own rates. Nobody has published how many Rank Points a battleground, a win or a weekly task gives, so the two rate fields start empty. With the weekly field empty, the plan is the fastest the cap allows.
  • A worked example. Rank 5 with 300 Rank Points toward the next rank is 5,550 in all; rank 11 takes 16,600, so 11,050 are left. From week 4 at 2,000 a week the target falls in week 9, 6 weeks later with only 1,050 needed in the last one; the cap first allows rank 11 in week 7. 2 of the ranks on the way grant a Legacy Point.
  • Sharing: the page address always holds your plan. Copy it to send the plan, or come back on this device and it opens as you left it.

What the ranks unlock

  • A reward at every rank. The names in the ladder are the beta client’s rank screen; Blizzard’s own list agrees with it rank for rank and is on the WoW Forever PvP guide.
  • Epic PvP gear. Blizzard says an epic piece is the blue piece plus an Emboldened Seal, and a seal can be bought only from its rank. The client holds 8 seals, one per armor slot, from wrist and belt at rank 8 to chest and head at rank 13; the sets they upgrade are on the WoW Forever sets page.
  • Mounts at rank 11. Blizzard lists mounts for the rank; the client’s rank screen calls them black war mounts, and its 8 are on the WoW Forever mounts page.
  • Legacy Points. Blizzard’s Legacy challenge list gives one point each at ranks 3, 7, 10, 13, 14. The WoW Forever Legacy planner tracks them with the other challenges.
  • Honor is separate. Rank only unlocks a reward; you still pay for it in Honor. The client lets a character hold 25,000 Honor at most. It has Honor price rows, but which item costs what is vendor data the client doesn’t hold, so this page totals no Honor.

How ranking in WoW Forever differs from the original

Blizzard describes Forever’s progression as the original Honor System, simplified. Its article states two changes: Honor is now a currency you spend on gear, and your rank comes from a separate count, Rank Points, earned in battlegrounds and PvP quests under a weekly cap. That is why this planner needs no standings, brackets or pool sizes: a rank is a fixed number of Rank Points, the same for both factions and every character.

The article doesn’t mention rank decay or a ranking against other players, and it doesn’t say what happens to a rank when a season ends. The PvP progression article has our full summary.

Still unconfirmed

  • The Rank Points of ranks 2 to 13 and the week-by-week cap: beta client data, Blizzard confirms only the two ends and that a cap exists
  • How many Rank Points a battleground, a win, a kill or a weekly task gives
  • What the rank rewards, the seals and the PvP gear cost in Honor
  • Whether a rank can drop during a season, and what is kept when a season ends
  • How long a season lasts, and so which calendar week each cap week is
