Honorable kills · Horde: the WoW Forever PvP leaderboard

Common questions

What is the WoW Forever PvP leaderboard?

A ranking of World of Warcraft: Forever characters by lifetime honorable kills and by honor rank, with the kills gained in the last 7 days and 24 hours. It has checked 101,995 characters across the US and EU regions and every ruleset; the 44,252 with at least one honorable kill are on the ladder, 49,972 more names are waiting for a first check, and each character has a page with its rank history, battleground record and gear.

Where do the kills and ranks come from?

From the character profile Blizzard publishes for every Forever character through its public API: the same honorable kills, honor rank, battleground statistics and equipment the game shows when a player inspects a character. AHledger reads the profile and keeps a history of how the numbers change; it does not estimate or interpolate anything.

How often is the leaderboard updated?

Characters with honorable kills are checked every two hours if they logged in within the last two days, every twelve hours if they logged in within the week and every two days otherwise; characters with no kills yet are checked weekly, and a name added through the lookup box is checked within five minutes. The newest check finished 5 min ago.

How does a character get on the leaderboard?

Two ways. Type its first name and surname into the lookup box below the ladder and pick its region, or run the AHledger addon with the players-seen option on, which notes every character you target, mouse over, group with or meet on a battleground scoreboard and sends the names up with your next sync. Blizzard publishes no list of characters, so the leaderboard holds only the names someone has looked up or seen.

What are honorable kills and PvP ranks in WoW Forever?

An honorable kill is a kill of an enemy player of a level that gives honor, counted once for everyone who took part. PvP ranks are the fourteen titles from Private or Scout up to Grand Marshal or High Warlord. In Forever a rank is a fixed bar of Rank Points, earned in battlegrounds and from PvP tasks, not a weekly standing against the rest of the realm, and a weekly cap holds the season to rank 3 in its first week and rank 14 no sooner than its tenth. Kills earn Honor, which is spent on gear. The ranks page lists every threshold and reward.

Why is a character missing, or showing zero kills?

A character nobody has looked up or seen in game is not on the leaderboard yet; add it with the lookup box below the ladder. A character that is on it but shows zero kills has no PvP record in its Blizzard profile yet, which also happens for the first hours after a new character is created. A character Blizzard answers as not found is retried after a week.
