Honor

You can consider honour points as a counter, kinda like normal levels, the higher it is the better, as you get Honour Ranks too. Why would anyone need them? Well YOU will need them if you ever want to buy potions in 20, 30 or 50 because the basic ones(10) isn't going to be good enough later on in the game. Honour points decrease after a certain point in crafting.

Honor Points
Honor Points can be earned throughout the game in quests, killing monsters in the war channel, etc.

Quests
Most of the quests give honor points as a reward when you complete them. When you complete a dungeon you also get honor points. The amount of honor earned depends on the quest or dungeon.

War Server/Map
Killing monsters or players on the War server give you also honour points. The amount of honour earned depends on a few things.
 * When you are not yet in a nation (Capella or Procyon) you earn by default 1 honour per killed mob.
 * When you are in a nation, the earned amount of honour depends on the number of players on the opposite nation that are on the channel or map. When there are more enemy nation players active, you will gain more honour per killed mob.

When you kill a player of the opposing nation on the war server/map you will gain 60 honour points extra for the kill. Enemy nation players are displayed red on war maps and have a name that is scrambled. When you kill a player without a nation (orange name), you will gain the same amount of honour as you get for killing a normal mob.

Glory Potions
Glory potions are potions that give you honour when you use them. This is a very fast way to get honour, but the potions are very rare. They seem to drop only in Forgotten Temple: B1F.

Plate of Honor
Plates of Honor are quest items that allow you to accept quests from the Officer in Port Lux. This quest will give you the opportunity to earn a large amount of additional honour.

Honor Class
Once you gain a certain amount of honor, you gain a honour class. The higher the class, the more advantages you will get in the game. You can use better jewelery or buy certain items at NPC you couldn't do before.
