Update from September 15:
Phase 2 of WoW: Burning Crusade Classic hasn't really started yet, but you can already buy the new PvP items at the various faction traders for gold. You can find out in detail which ones are available where below.
Original news from August 30:
So far, the PvP of WoW (buy now 14,99 € ): Burning Crusade Classic was not too beginner-friendly. In the arena, you realize pretty quickly how beneficial it is to have gear with hardening. For the most part, though, honor farming on the battlegrounds was a cramp (especially for the Horde faction). If you missed the brief periods where efficient honor farming was possible due to poor design decisions on Blizzard's part, you were in for a double whammy.
With Phase 2, the PvP area should soon become much better and more beginner-friendly:
- Already, there's more Arena points available (even at lower scores) via the Arena.
- The testing for Horde vs. Horde Battlegrounds so far has made the wait times noticeably shorter, and all PvP fans are just waiting for Blizzard to activate them for the rest of TBC Classic.
- In the phase between Season 1 and Season 2, we will be able to buy Honor and Arena items for a discounted price.
- In Phase 2, we'll be able to buy all Arena gear with no scoring requirements (and cheaper). Honor won't have those items until Phase 3.
- With Phase 2, the developers unlocked the PvP gear for the Outland factions, which did not appear in the original until Patch 2.4.
We've reported on the latter PvP sets before: You can buy the PvP items from merchants of certain factions for a few gold pieces if you enjoy a respectable reputation with the respective factions. With the final content phase, these reputation requirements will be lowered to Benevolent. Each class will get its own 5-piece PvP set at a comparable level. Two pieces of the set will unlock a set bonus that grants 35 toughening. Four pieces of the set will unlock a class-specific bonus. Below, we'll detail which sets are available for your class(es).
