3.0.2 Honor items?.. - Blue Tracker

#0 - Oct. 2, 2008, 7:08 p.m.

On the PTR, you're able to buy level 80 pvp armor (not weapons), and all level 60 pvp gear is still available.
My question is, will level 70 (merciless/vindicator/guardian) pvp gear be taken out in this pre-WOTLK patch, or will it still be available until November 13? If it's still there, is it going to remain just like level 60 gear did?
Also, which plan (if either, yet) is confirmed as far as the honor wipe goes? I read a Bliz post yesterday that said they were instead letting players keep their honor, and making level 80 pvp gear more expensive. Now, I can't find that post, but the honor wipe post is still there.

The honor items added in 3.0.2 are not really replacements for the merciless gear currently available. As such, this gear will not be replaced in 3.0.2. Players will still be able to get season 2 gear via the honor vendors. I believe season 2 gear will remain on the honor vendors for level 70 players after the launch of the expansion as well, though am not certain of this yet.

Honor is not being wiped with the release of the expansion. The post still exists, although you may need to clear your cookies for forums.worldofwarcraft.com in order to see it, as there's currently a caching issue with the forum database causing some stickies to appear to vanish.
