Getting Rank 10

I reached rank 7 this week, and I was wondering, is it hard to reach rank 10? I usually get something around 100k honor a week (standing is in 90's) and do AB as often as I can.
So is it possible for me to reach rank 10, and how long does it take to reach it?

Many thanks!

I think you are just at the limit. If you could push your standing to 70 each week you should be able to get rank 10 I think.

Of course it depends on many other factors, but I think that your standing is probably the best measure.

You will probably reach rank 10, but never reach rank 11, if you keep that pace up (every week for about 4 months total).

Now how funny is that. I just replyed to a thread about an epic mount and the rank 10/11 question popped up:

Unless I'm wrong...figure 5 hours a day, five days a week...for six months...600 hours...

So, even if I am over by 300 hours, if you can grind more than a couple of gold per hour(which is quite easy to do, for anyone over lvl 40), you are ahead by grinding...
Of course it is not like that on every server. I PvP about 2 hours per day on week days and 4 on weekends...but I don't do that 7 days a week. My honor has been ranging from under 5000 in the first weeks to 125 000 in my best week, averaging at about 50 000 I would say. Soon rank 10..but of course the road to rank 11 might still increase in difficulty.

Grats on nearing rank 10!

Which server? Is your forum name and your in-game name the same?

I'd love to follow your progress!

How long have you been pvp'ng this way to get to whatever rank you are at now?

My signature and the realm under my avatar answer that, I also update my rank there.

I used to hate PvP, coming from a Diablo 2 Hardcore mindset, where a player killer could ruin weeks and weeks of "work", but as I reached lv 60 I participated in a spot of Tarren Mill...I think that was even before the introduction of Arathi Basin.

A friend of mine was active since lv 50 or so in WSG with his Paladin and always 2-3 ranks ahead and he kinda "iinfected" me with the PvP bug. So it was tarren Mill once a week every tuesday, the a few hours in Alterac. A bit more PvP in Arathi Basin. I really slowly advanced with 1000, later 5000 honor per week..so this is really no measurement. I think it took me 2-3 weeks to reach every rank from 1-5 (so 10-15 weeks all in total). Of course that really is a joke nowadays. PvP one week with 50 000 honor straight through and you are rank 3 in a week..or even better.

First a "cool" title, like Stone Guard was my goal...then Blood Guard became a possibility and a reality. Soon the greed for the "medium" PvP set and the exhalted rewards with Defilers set in. I got TitanPanel and could suddenly follow my progress closely..adding an extra amount of pressure.

Bein a bit of a geek..here is my recordings of my advances since I hit Bloodguard. That week I counted as "week 1"..of course it wasn't really the first week:

1 week: 1% Bloodguard – 50000 HP this resulted in 42% advance to:
2 week: 43% Bloodguard – 70000 HP this resulted in42% advance to:
3 week: 85% Bloodguard – 62000 HP this resulted in 33% advance to:
4 week: 18% Legionnaire – 72000 HP this resulted in 30% advance to:
5 week: 48% Legionnaire - 82000 HP this resulted in 12% advance to:
6 week: 60% Legionnaire – 95000 HP this resulted in 30% advance to:
7 week: 90% Legionnaire – 125 000 HP this resulted in 46% advance to:
8 week: 36% Centurion - (as of today 100 000 HP)

HP being Honor Points. Our rank 14 wannabes make 300 to 400 000 HP, in week 5 they made even 600 000. so my 82000 HP was only worth a 12% advance while the week before 72000 HP advanced me 30% inside rank 8

Nice stuff! Now I have a new goal to shoot for...I'm told that blood Guard is where the cool mage stuff begins to become available...heh

I must be blind, since I still can't figure out which realm...Thought you indicated it might be under your pic...but it isn't there, for me.

To reflect on the epic mt question in the other thread...

As I understand...you've spent around 23 weeks at aprx 10 hours a week = 230 hours...

900/230 ~ 4 g per hour, if you farmed...and I can get more like 15-20g/hour farming, making an epic avail in 45-60 hours.

Rank is neat! But, I wouldn't use pvp as a means to a mount, unless you LIKE pvp alot.

DoH..thanks for pointing that out. Realm used to be under my avatar and I tried to set it again in Edit Profile..but it doesn't work. Yes, It is EU_Earthen Ring as Valas said.

Luckily I chose a warlock = coolest mount...so no need for cross faction rep for a more interesting mount or rank 11 for a "cheap" one.

But I wouldn't just set the hours needed for rank 11 against grinding but also the boots, robe, helm, shoulders, gloves, bracers and shoulders as well as trinkets and cape that you get from rank 2-10. Plus an epic staff. At rank 9 I have already 11000/21000 rep with Defilers...certainly casters are getting a good deal here...

/agree wholeheartedly...

I was computing hours and cost only because someone had suggested in the other thread that the pvp epic is 'only' 90g...

Well, sure it is only 90g, if you don't consider the time spent getting to rank 11.

I may send my mage on the pvp path...based on your thoughts as well as those of a StoneGuard friend of mine.
