Clarify AV bonus honor at end

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Any chance we can have some official confirmation of what actually gives bonus honor at the end of AV? (Everything you get during the game is more obvious, because you get it the instant it happens)
Specifically, most people will confidently tell you that holding mines gives you a +198 each, but old wiki pages say they’re worth nothing. And we’re relying on old wiki pages because it is so unclear!

The most bonus honor I’ve ever seen is 5544. As 198 seems to be the base unit for bonus honor, and there is a +594 you get for going over 30 minutes, that leaves at least 25x198. So breaking that down starting with the instant bonuses
11x - Kill Lieutenants, Commanders and Captain
4x - Destroy enemy towers/bunkers
3x - Rescue wing commanders
1x - Summon tree/ice boy
(19x total)

Then bonuses definitely awarded at the end
1x - Kill the general/win
4x - Friendly towers/bunkers standing
(24x total)

That leaves at minimum only 1 more bonus. My best guess is that it’s for the Captain surviving. But it could also be that killing the general and winning are two separate awards. Or maybe you get multiple 198 awards in the log when winning might really be worth 2-3x. Or maybe those mines really are worth something!

So yeah, can we finally put an end to sending some random guy down the mines for no reason?

I can confirm that winning with both mines does not award any honor.

I can also confirm that winning with the enemy captain dead, and yours alive, DOES award 198 honor upon killing the general.

I just wish it would add estimated player kill honor also

would be nice, especially on those avs you do terrible and get basically no objectives but a few honor kills.

Reading 0 honor or say 700 ish honor is not that fun, even tho u know u made like 800 honor in kills or something

You get extra REPUTATION if you own the mines at the end of the game.
Some people might want that.

it’s the captain surviving, yes.

there’s a good (and correct) summary of the bonus honor objectives here:
