subject: World of Warcraft - Crafting Guide - Upgradeable Epic Items [print this page] Everyone that plays World of Warcraft has the misconception that the only way to get epic level items is to jump in a guild and raid raid raid. There is another way to get epic items without the pressure of raiding and it is overlooked by a great manyplayers.

With a raiding guild there is always pressure to be online and raid sometimes every day. Player versus player is in my opinion an option that lets you play when you want to. In Battlegrounds you earn honor points and marks regardless of whether you win or lose. Of course you get more if you win but you get them either way. These honor points and marks are used to purchase items from the player vs. player non-player characters that are as good as items that you will get from hours of raiding. In some cases the player vs. player items are arguably better than those that you can only get with a solid guild. Head over to the World of Warcraft website and look under player vs. player rewards section and see for yourself.

In order to acquire your level 70 epic equipment you will have to participate in all of them to earn the required marks. On most weekends starting on Thursday at midnight until Tuesday morning there will be "Battleground Holidays." Each battleground will have at least one holiday weekend per month. By playing on the holiday you will build honor and reputation much faster than normal. Take advantage of these holidays and get your honor and marks that much quicker.
