You play your own character in the boosters' group. Your login stays with you, and you need to be online for the run.
includedA booster logs in to your account and plays the character for you. Pick it when you cannot be online at the time.
includedA Hero of the Horde boost, or Hero of the Horde carry, puts a booster team in rated battlegrounds on your Horde character. The team plays until the character stands high enough on the ladder and has the wins the achievement asks for, and then keeps it there until the season closes.
Two things in the same PvP season: finish inside the top 0.5% of the rated battleground ladder and win 50 rated battleground games. Both count only for the season you finish at the top, so wins from an earlier season do not help.
Gladiator and Legend arrive the moment the last win comes in. Hero of the Horde does not: the game reads the final standings when the season closes and hands out the title then. The cut is a share of all players on the ladder, not a fixed rating, so it moves as other teams climb, and the character has to stay above it until the last day.
We run the order piloted, on any of the 13 classes. Pick your class when you order. The description lists the achievements and transmog rewards earned on the way, and Conquest gear can go into the same order: games near the top of the ladder pay Conquest quickly, so the gear keeps pace with the rating.
The title belongs to the large team mode, rated battlegrounds. If you want the rating without the season-end title, the RBG rating carry takes your character to the rating you choose. Battleground Blitz has a rating ladder of its own and the Strategist title. Alliance characters earn the same title under another name, Hero of the Alliance.
When the season ends. The achievement looks at the final standings, where only the top 0.5% of rated battleground players qualify, so it is not given on the day a rating is reached.
Yes. The achievement counts 50 rated battleground games won in the season you finish at the top. Wins from earlier seasons do not carry over.
No. It is a share of everyone on the ladder, so the rating it takes changes through the season as more players climb. That is why the carry lasts until the season closes.
No. The title follows the faction: Alliance characters get Hero of the Alliance for the same finish, and it is sold as a separate order.
Conquest gear and 500,000 gold are listed as extras. The achievements and transmog rewards from the order description come with the title.
