So I decided recently I wanted to farm up Marks for one of the BFA weapons… to my surprise, the weapon appearances can only be purchased as a set… that left me with the daunting task of farming up 80 marks of honor as quick as I could…
Given how awful trying to obtain pvp gear for transmog is, i thought i’d share my success as i managed to farm up all all 80 marks in about a day of doing bgs casually.
First things first, queue as alliance. there’s a little man in the corner whos name i forget in the enclave within oribos. That will cut your queue time down to about 1 or 2 mins if your horde.
Next is the more important aspect. seeing how stupid this system is, as soon as there’s a reason to believe that you arent going to win the bg, leave. take the 15 min deserter debuff and just leave. it’s not worth the time/energy/frustration to sit there and get rolled for the next 10 mins when you could just switch to another character and queue right back up again. Seriously, the system is so garbage, just leave as soon as you start to lose.
Lastly, remember to turn WM on as there will periodically be WQs for marks of honor. Again if you have multiple max level characters, you can repeat these quests with ease. For pvp WQs there seems to be little pvp going on during them because who the hell wants marks of honor if you already pvp regularly?
The whole marks of honor system was a bandaid for when they first removed honor… it was dumb then and it’s dumb now… so if you’re like me and only pvp to get some nice transmog, remember to quit that losing team asap and queue back up again on a different character. your sanity will thank you.
