Season 5 Arena/Honor Items

With Arena Season 5 launching on December 17, we wanted to provide some helpful information. The method in which Arena or Honor items can be purchased will be slightly different then how it was before. For Arena items, there will be 3 tiers of purchasable set items that includes pieces for the Head, Shoulders, Chest, Gloves, and Legs as follows:

Tier 1 - Superior (blue) quality items:
• No rating requirements.
• Can be purchased multiple ways: a combination of Honor and Arena points, high amounts of Honor Points, or with Emblems of Heroism.
• Equivalent to heroic dungeon items.

Tier 2- Epic (purple) quality items:
• Medium rating requirements.
• Can be purchased multiple ways: Arena points, or Emblems of Valor.
• Equivalent to 10-person raid items.

Tier 3 - Epic (purple) quality items:
• High rating requirements.
• Costs Arena points.
• Equivalent to 25-person raid items.
• This tier will also contain Arena weapons.

In addition, there will be two tiers of Honor items that includes pieces for the neck, ring, boots, belt, bracer, and trinket as follows:

Tier 1 – Epic (purple) quality items:
• Costs Honor points.
• Equivalent to 10-person raid items.

Tier 2 – Epic (purple) quality items:
• High rating requirements.
• Costs Honor points.
• Equivalent to 25-person raid items.

Updated 18/12: Various edits, especially detail on purchasing some items.
Clarification 17/12: there are no Arena weapons available for Tier 1 and Tier 2. This is intended, and not a bug or oversight.
