PvP Season 5 (February 27 – May 20, 2024)

PvP Season 5 took place February 27 to around May 20, 2024, and the theme was Pirate’s Plunder. The track brought the new Cunning Plunderer (non-glowing) and Outlaw Battler (glowing) armor golden-colored sets, the Ruthless Warlord legacy title, the character title ‘The Mutineer’, a Cunning Plunderer Armor Display decoration for your stronghold, and the usual trophies. The Tullek PvP seasons vendor has the new armor sets Plunderer’s Greed (blue colored, glowing, 6 Tokens) and Outlaw Warrior (blue colored, non-glowing, 6 tokens), flags for Season 5 toys (2 tokens), and a new surprise decoration called the Overflowing Treasure Chest (1 token), only available from the vendor. There was also new for the first time a “Flair: Pirate’s Bounty” on the vendor for 4 tokens. The major achievement rewards 5 PvP Tokens plus the Batten Down the Hatches legacy title.

PvP Season 5 How to Earn Points

There are three ways to earn points on the PVP Seasons Track:

  • The type of match, whether you won or loss, and how many medals you earned, double points as a subscriber
  • Queuing with a group can get you bonus points if you personally do well, double points as a subscriber
  • Completing PvP Seasons Objectives, +100 points each
  • And you can pay credits to unlock some levels

PvP Season 5 8vs8 Warzones

Here’s how many points you can earn from warzones in Season 3:

 
Arenas F2P Win F2P Loss Subscriber Win Subscriber Loss
7 medals 12 4 24 8
6 medals ~10 ~3 21 7
5 medals 9 3 18 6
4 medals ~7 ~2 15 5
3 medals 6 2 12 4
2 medals 4 ~1 8 3
1 medals 2 1 4 2
0 medals 0 0 0 0

Plus 4 bonus PvP Points if you queue with a group, and you earned 6 medals in the Warzone match. You can queue up with up to a group of 8 people as of update 7.2. Free-to-play only get 2 bonus points.

* I had written down in this chart that Free-to-play players got roughly half the points of Subscribers. But I can’t find any documentation about this now.

PvP Season 5 4vs4 Arenas

Here’s how many points you can earn from arenas in Season 3:

 
Arenas F2P Win F2P Loss Subscriber Win Subscriber Loss
7 medals 6 2 12 4
6 medals 5 ~2 10 3
5 medals 4 ~1 8 3
4 medals 3 1 6 2
3 medals 2 1 4 2
2 medals ~2 ~1 3 1
1 medals 1 ~1 2 1
0 medals 0 0 0 0

Plus 2 bonus PvP Point if you queue with a group, and you earned 6 medals in the match. You can queue up with up to a group of 4 people for Arenas. Free-to-play only get 1 bonus point.

* I had written down in this chart that Free-to-play players got roughly half the points of Subscribers. But I can’t find any documentation about this now.

PvP Season 5 Objectives

On the PvP Seasons Objectives tab you can see the weekly rotating objectives, each worth 100 points.

Free-to-play and preferred players are presented 4 PvP Season Objectives that award 100 PvP Points each when completed.

Subscribers will be shown 6 PvP Season Objectives that award 100 PvP Points each when completed, but subscribers will only be able to complete 4 of the 6 objectives per week, giving you more choice than free-to-play players who would have to complete all the objectives offered to get the max points.

These are the objectives you’ll see, and Arenas were made easier in Season 3:

  • Arena: Combatant – Play 12 Arena matches.
  • Arena: Domination – Win 4 Arena matches.
  • Arena: Decorated – Earn at least 7 medals in 6 different Arenas (7 medals in a single match, six times).
  • Warzones: Combatant – Play 8 Warzone matches.
  • Warzones: Domination – Win 3 Warzone matches.
  • Warzones: Decorated – Earn at least 7 medals in 4 different Warzones (7 medals in a single match, four times).

PvP Season 5 Credits

You may also use credits to unlock the reward track. Credit catchup can only be used to purchase up to level 15 (you must earn the final 10 levels yourself).

The cost goes up for every level you buy, rather than watch level number you are unlocking, so it’s cheaper to unlock levels if you earned some of them.

For example, If you had already earned Level 1, and try to unlock Level 2, it will still only cost 25,000 Credits. So the cost is based on how many levels you have “bought” so far, and not based on the Level number (example Level 1, Level 2, Level 3).

The credit unlock option may only start on a certain day of the Season, not right away

PvP Season 5 Seasons Tokens

As you play PvP Seasons, you will earn PvP Season Tokens. You can earn a total of 20 PvP Seasons Tokens, enough to buy any of the items on the PvP Seasons Token vendor, where prices range from 6 Tokens for the new items, or 10 or 20 tokens for the previously-retired ranked reward items. PvP Tokens carry over between seasons so you can save them up for bigger items on the vendor. PvP Season Tokens are legacy-bound, and you can see how many you have in the Currency tab of your inventory.

Here is how you can earn PvP Tokens:

  •  2 PvP Seasons Tokens at Level 2
  •  2 PvP Seasons Tokens at Level 5
  •  2 PvP Seasons Tokens at Level 14
  •  2 PvP Seasons Tokens at Level 17
  •  2 PvP Seasons Tokens at Level 21
  •  2 PvP Seasons Tokens at Level 24
  •  8 PvP Seasons Tokens can be earned through achievements

If you use credits to unlock your track up to level 15 which is the maximum for credits, rather than playing PvP, you will only be able to get 6 PvP Seasons Tokens. You could of course unlock to 15 and then play the final ten levels for an extra 6 Tokens, and do your best to get the achievements as well.
