Ok, I have been doing a lot of research in my spare time and have crunched a few numbers and I think I finally made sense of the honor calculation system World of Warcraft Blizzard has in place. I hope this thread will shed a little light on exactly how leveling and the honor system works. Please feel free to add things to this post about the honor calculations because there are still a few areas that are hazy to me and that I don’t have difinitive answers to.
If there has already been a thread like this I apologize in advance. I didn’t see one anywhere so I thought I’d share my own findings. Here it is.
The Basics:
Check out https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/ for Rating information
1. Honor points are accumulated each time you take part in the killing of a player of the opposing faction.
2. You are penalized if your level is less than 60 (meaning you don’t gain as much honor for a kill as a level 60 does).
3. Your total amount of honor points are added up at the end of each week (during server maintenance).

O.K. So you are already to play the Mage class. The first thing you want to do is open your inventory and right click on the scroll, or other object that will open the quest window on the left side of the screen and give you your first quest, accept the quest!
Race played = Undead
Level obtained = 20
Armor = cloth only
Weapon of choice = Staff until lvl 10, then Dagger/Offhand, Wand (at levels 15-20 you will find items that you may hold in your off hand that have stat adds like “branches” and “orbs” and other items. So it may be advisable to go dagger at level 10 to get that weapon skill raised. Wands, I believe are broke as of the Open Beta, but I still equipped one for the stat adds :)
Leveling Difficulty = Easy
NOTE: the cost to buy each skill is listed next to its name.
The Mage Leveling 1-20

The Hunter class plays at a medium difficulty level until level 10 at which point it may chose to find a pet. After the hunter gets a pet, it is by far the easiest class to play and level.(If done correctly) So you are already to play the Hunter class
Race played = Troll
Level obtained = 20
Armor = cloth, leather(use leather when you have a choice) at level 40 may use Chain.(With training)
Weapon of choice = Dagger —– Dagger/Dagger at lvl 20.(Hunter gets Dual Wield @20 - due to the lack of Offhand axes, it is suggested to go Dagger)
Leveling Difficulty = Medium until level 10 then very easy as Hunter gets a pet at 10.
NOTE: the cost to buy each skill is listed next to its name.
The Hunter Leveling 1-15

So you are already to play the Druid class - then do it right!
Race played = Tauren
Level obtained = 15
