Honor helps no matter who you give it to, but the more cross-pollination there is, the faster you’ll progress.

So, the takeaways:

1. to help yourself, get as many honors from as many people as possible.

2. to help others, give one honor (maybe one of each type, for a total of 3) to as many people as possible.

All honor received helps regardless of the source/frequency, however there are diminishing returns on it.

If I give the same person honor every day, each subsequent honor diminishes in how much it raises that person’s total honor.

Honor from a guildmate in general is worth less than from someone outside of their guild.

More than 1 honor from the same person is worth less than if those multiple honor are from different people.

Helpful \> fun \> high 5 in general (not 100% certain on order of fun/high 5, but held up is definitely worth more than the other 2)

For max honor gains you need to receive a diversity of honor types from a diverse group of players over a period of time.

Honor works by manipulating it
