Honor Multipliers to Maximize
Stacking Bonuses

- PvP talents active - Some specs gain significant advantages
- Call to Battle (rest bonus) - 25% bonus when rested
- Weekend Bonus - Blizzard often runs 2x or 3x honor weekends

Logging off in rest areas (inns, capitals) builds rested XP, which also converts to a honor bonus when Call to Battle is active. This "rest bonus" stacks with War Mode bonuses.
