What is valor in swtor

Below is a table of each rank name Battlemaster, Conqueror, etc. If you look at this in terms of how many warzones it takes, it is pretty easy to see that each rank title takes almost twice as long as the one before it to earn. The number of hours needed to obtain each rank, with and without the Valor Boost, is calculated using a weighted average of 12 minutes for all the warzones. This was calculated using 15 minutes as the average for Alderaan Civil War and Novare Coast, and 12 minutes as the average for Voidstar, Ancient Hypergate, and Huttball.

For Arenas, the average is taken to be about 7 minutes. Impressive research! Personally I felt burnout after getting Battlemaster son 3 different toons.

During Double Rewards events, and with using a Valor boost, you can easily each reach over 8, points per match if you do well and get a lot of medals. The early Valor levels only require a few thousand points each, and completing your first match will likely push you through a good chunk of the early Valor levels. However, the later levels start increasing sharply in how many points you need to complete them. To give some context, just going from Valor Rank 99 to will take you longer than going all the way from Valor Rank 1 to Valor Rank 50!
