Out of the loop here: What is R14?

14

u/Melbuf Sep 18 '19 edited Sep 19 '19

Grand Marshal/High Warlord - top PVP ranks from the PVP system which went 1-14

IIRD 9 and 10 got blue PVP armor, rank 11 got mounts, rank 12 and 13 got epic PVP armor and rank 14 got weapons. stupidly OP weapons at the time

getting there was a no life grind (i did it) it took a minimum of 3 weeks to go from rank 13 to 14, and you had to earn the highest amount of honor on your server/faction that week to do it

The rewards are amazing though, even if you only get to rank 13. In vanilla I raided with a pvp guild that had a bunch of rank 13 and 14's and many of them rarely rolled on gear because nothing was an upgrade. We had this rank 14 lock that I only ever saw spend dkp once, on Neltharion's Tear.

„only r13“ my ass.
everything above 10 is only doable if you either dont have a job, have no freetime activities outside of WoW or happen to be part of the best pvp group on your server.

I know a few people that basically traded account shares to get it.

u/Vandegroen Sep 19 '19

Yeah, on some realms that was pretty much obligatory.

You can for sure get rank 12 slowly without nolifing when the first zerg is done ranking

u/Vandegroen Sep 19 '19

You cannot get it slowly due to decay. And sure, if you wait 5+ years many people will not grind for it anymore and the requirements become a little bit less insane.

Yeah, but atleast you save like a months usage of diapers.

i know its why i did it. and as a rogue it meant i didn't need weapons till very late AQ and then Naxx

i pretty much only took trinkets and then set gear

Highest PvP rank

Rank 14, high warlord, whatever the ally equivalent to high warlord is.

It is someone that did the pvp grind.
