Looking for Blue post clarification - final date to receive a new ranking title

As title suggests looking for Blizz clarification about the final reset date possible to achieve new title. TBC pre patch is to drop during the scheduled maintenance for each realm (13th US / 14th EU) so the same time ranking titles go through for each realm. In 2021 for Blizz did the honour calculations a day early, but only made a blue post about it the week before leaving some people out to dry who would have continued the farm if known.

So, hoping someone from Blizz can find out if they’ll be an early ranking a day early (or do titles come through even after the pre patch is applied, mixed info regrading this but no blue posts) or is the final day to achieve a new rank the 7th. I know people say get your rank by the 7th to be safe, but I’m seeing this question asked a lot in game, on here and other sites.

Personally I’m faming a titles on yet another alt to pass time until TBC so it would be helpful to me at least to know if I should spend the final week grinding more gold or getting another rank while its there.

Edit: Funny I mentioned this today, I’m seeing a lot of people today who will hit rank 14 on the pre patch reset, I’m sure there’s a lot of people wanting to know.

I am one of them.

I am rank 12 now. I plan to hit rank 13 next AV weekend.

But the last AV weekend before the prepatch will be 9-12 jan 2026. Is that week pointless to farm honor?

In my opinion, Wednesday we will wake up in TBC. There’s no title calculations in TBC, so your previous week doesn’t matter. Farm your title earlier and do not expect for last week before prepatch to count.

Given the fact, that they didn’t care about as important as Scarab Lord events, leaving multiple potential Scarab Lords without deserved rewards, I wouldn’t expect them to cater to some super-late marshals. You have had half a year to farm your title.

But good luck to you and may be I’m wrong. Not many blue posts in this forum, but who knows, may be your particular topic will be an exception.

I’m seeing it asked a lot so I’m curious, can see link in the op to see they did indeed to the final calculations early last time. Though this time around I’m not sure they’ll bother to tell us if they are doing so again or not.

Not sure this will work as the patch hits 12th so there will be no honour system on Weds 14th to be updated.

Pre patch arrives on the 13th during each scheduled maintenance, that would be the 14th for EU. But I’m more curious if they are doing an one day early update like last tbc pre patch, be nice for players to know earlier than later
