Phat Loot Phriday: Medallion of (your Faction)

This week, we're going a little off the beaten path to take a look at two of the most basic, almost mandatory items in all of PvP. (Yes, yes, unless you're human, we know. We'll ignore Every Man for Himself in this discussion, including its inherent wrongness that the ability doesn't change to Every Woman for Herself based on character gender.) The trinkets I'm talking about are the Medallion of the Horde and the Medallion of the Alliance. These items are identical except for their icon and names; they are appropriately based on the faction of your character.

I mostly offer the Medallions as this week's Phat Loot Phriday because it's amazing how many players miss when a new version of the PvP trinket is released. With Season 8 now on us, it's important to be packing as much resilience as possible. And since these new versions of the Medallion provide the most resilience per-slot, they're a clearly superior choice for anyone who doesn't mind the time to farm the honor.

You can buy this trinket with honor, which means that you'll probably want to get yourself to the closest Wintergrasp or battleground, and get to honor farming. Try not to be that guy who afks through the entire match, though. That's really annoying.

(The picture is a random picture with a trinket theme, because you can not see trinkets on your character.)

Name: Medallion of the Horde/Alliance
Type: Trinket
Attributes:

  • Resilience: 153 (1.87% @ L80).

  • Use: Removes all movement impairing effects and all effects which cause loss of control of your character. (2 Min Cooldown)

How to get it: Farm 68,200 honor, and go visit your faction's Veteran Quartermaster. You can only buy this, it does not drop.
How to get rid of it: To the regret of me every time I delete an old version, the Medallion can not be sold or disenchanted.
