Q u o t e:
Does anyone else think this is a bit low? I realize you get 10 per quest in WG but thats once a week. 2k Honor you can get in one AV if you play it right. Either raise the honor you can buy with the shards or lower the amount needed, 2k is not worth 30 shards.


It's not really meant to be a great source of honor but more like another way to get honor if you have extra shards. I'm not sure about you but by regularly doing the heroic daily quest and the WG quests, my main character is swimming in stonekeeper shards.

Q u o t e:
So explain to me how running pve instances for pvp gear makes sense.

There's ample precedent for it in the current expansion content. Whether or not it makes sense, it has been in practice for quite a while now.

It makes total sense. Its part of Blizz's 'many paths to gear' plan and is generally a Good Thing™

This Fails Bornakk because i cant never get into a heroic because of everything listed in my forum sigg

i only get 10 stone keeper things per quest each week not alot at all.


You can't get into heroics because you're level 23. There are people out there that will take PuGs into heroics without all the BS you list in your sig.

I don't get why it's that big of a deal. For honor purposes, if you want to be able to get more honor...either do PvE for shards to turn in, or do some PvP.

20 shards from a few 5-boss instances, doesn't even amount to 30 emblems (durr, math). Couldn't you just make the same amount, if not more from just PvPing?

The main point of the stone keeper shards, is to give PvE players a viable PvP gear source (or epic gem source). You can't expect that each turn-in will end up being worth something like 4k or 5k honor, especially when PvE people can easily have 1k+ shards. Imagine the destruction of the AH, as it gets flooded with epic gems from people buying them with honor all the time. That would eventually drop the prices of epic gems as a whole, and ruin what economy might exist on a server...at least for the gems.

The only fix for something like that (increasing shard turn-in honor), would be to increase (double) the cost of certain things purchasable for honor, which I'm sure many people wouldn't be happy about.

too bad the WG shards don't count towards the WG achievements, but that's another topic i guess :P

A sticky post or sticky topic is a type of post or topic in an online forum that is pinned near the top of the forum index, enhancing its visibility and preventing it from being buried by newer posts.

In before "you're not high enough to run heroics".

Tip... start your own heroic. Unless you gearscore yourself and kick yourself out. That would be embarrassing.

Tip 2... start one by doing /2 [trade] LF DPS H [whatever]

You'll be inundated with a million DPS looking for a H. Pick 2/3 (depending if you're DPS or Tank/Healer). Then ask for heals and a tank.

If a DPS leaves, you'll find plenty more to fill.

Ok, explain the 9 marks from WG then. 3 WG battles that you WIN shouldn't give only 2k honor. When you're on a server like mine where your faction wins WG 1/4th of the time, it's damn near impossible to get them.

Yes really.

Steps to starting a PuG for a Heroic (for me)

Find a tank.
/2 LF3M DPS for (insert heroic here)
Get 3-10 tells.
/invite (first 3 people)

You'd get into my group if you were level 80.

Arena players AFK in BGs to get their missing pieces of gear. That is somehow better?

This mechanic existed before GC.

Blindly blaming the person of the moment is rather absurd.
