The Push To Lt. Commander

I was surprised and delighted to see that I had squeaked into rank 9, Knight-Champion, this week. I had been stuck at Knight-Captain for about three weeks, PvP'ing only half-heartedly and doing slightly more than the minimum in order to keep my ranking at or above last week's level. There was a point in time where I considered giving up the PvP honor farm game because I was stuck at rank 8 for the longest time.

This unexpected rank up has motivated me. I am only one honor bar away from Lieutenant Commander's rank and the PvP shoulders and helmet. The rank 10 PvP armor set looks pretty impressive, and I'll definitely post a picture once I get it.

My goal for the week is at least 1400 honor kills. I can do 200 HKs per day, and possibly more on the weekends. On Tuesday because of a show I went to with friends I only accumulated 87 HKs, so I had to make up for my losses last night. After getting into a group of guys who do Battlegrounds non-stop (as some of them have aspirations to hit Grand Marshal), the honor and the rep was flowing non-stop. I racked up 323 honor kills to regain my 200 HK/night average. Not only that but I became revered with the League of Arathor and bought the AB boots just for shits. They're not really any better than the rank 7 boots, but they may be useful for my elite bow quest later on.

Once I get to rank 10, the rank 11 elite mount is only another bar of honor away, so I may as well do that. At Commander I stop for good.
