- When you win Battlegrounds, you will gain rating and conquest points.

New PvP rewards[]
- Honor titles
- Epic ground mounts
- Arena points
- Guild achievements/levels
Patch 4.2[]
Starting with Patch 4.2, every time a character wins 75, 150, or 300 Rated battle grounds, a special epic, ground mount will be mailed to the character. This mount is bound to the Battle.net account so it can be mailed to alts before it is used and added to the characters list of mount summoning spells.
