Working toward the "Hallowed" title and wondered if anyone had tips for the GNERD rage achievement.. I know almost nothing about pvp play so any suggestions regarding strategies to get this 'chieve would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks!

... what he didn't like about heroes was that they were usually suicidally gloomy when sober and homicidally insane when drunk. There were too many of them, too.

It's actually quite easy to get if you play it safe. Go for one of the larger battlegrounds/Tol Barad where there's less chance of you being picked off, and since it's only honorable kills, you only have to be in the vicinity of people being killed to get credit, not like actually in the thick of things. Bring a bunch (get extras from guildies, you can't mail them but you can trade them) and don't worry if you die. And obviously, remember to re-GNERDS if you do die.

Alternately, Arathi Basis can be a great one to net Honorable Kills, if you can manage to hang out at the Blacksmith (central node). You can nab HK's from the other nodes if you hang out on the "blacksmith island" kinda towards the other places. Nice and easy, though there's a good chance of fighting there too because it's a very desired base.

I've always really loved pvp, and while I've lagged behind on doing anything pvp related lately, I think I'll soon get back into the swing of things when I can. That being said, I've gotten that achievement on a number of characters over the years and what always seemed to be the easiest for me was Alterac Valley. Just follow the big group as it leaves and it'll eventually lead into fighting the other faction. Stay safe and let other people kill for you if you like.

How to Do Arathi Basin

Queue for Alterac Valley.

Remind yourself that you are trying to get into ARATHI BASIN, not Alterac Valley. Drop out of the queue and queue for Arathi Basin.

When you pop up in the Alliance base and wonder why no one is there, try running outside toward the large group jumping around at the gate.

When the gate opens, run out and straight ahead toward the Stables. Halfway to the Stables, veer right and follow the large group going across the bridge to the Lumber Mine.

Don't let anyone tell you that's a Lumber "Mill". There's a Gold Mine on the left side of the map when you headed out, so it makes sense that it's a Lumber MINE on the right. People are going to call it "LM" anyway, so it doesn't make much difference.

When you get to the Lumber Mine, there may be Horde there. If not, they'll be there soon. Make friends with the Spirit Healer.

If you don't want to spend the whole battleground dying at the Lumber Mine, try to make your way to the Blacksmith. It's an even more exciting place to die because it's sitting in the middle of the map where Horde can come slaughter you from all sides!

Whatever you do, don't spend too much time reading /bg . If you have any faith left in humanity, reading /bg will cause it to rot fast.

Here's a quick summary of what's happening in /bg, just in case you're curious.

If you can't sneak around and avoid combat, then for the love of Cynwise, FIGHT AT THE FLAG!
