Trivia[edit]
- Laurels were added during the January 28, 2013 game update, Flame and Frost: Prelude. They were not part of that month's monthly reward.
- Laurels were added to PvP Daily and Monthly achievements on the March 26, 2013 game update. This had the side effect of players being able to earn another ten laurels by completing the Monthly PvP achievement for the month if they hadn't earned it already.
- With the previous system of Login rewards it was possible to earn up to 55 laurels per month (by logging in 28 days per month) as opposed to 40 laurels per 30-day month using the previous system (by completing every daily and the monthly).
- Initially, laurels were mainly acquired via consecutive daily login rewards at the following rate: 2nd Daily Login (1), 7th (10), 9th (2), 16th (3), 21st (15), and 23rd (4). Final login reward (28th day) had an option of extra 20 laurels. In total, 35 laurels are earned per full cycle of login rewards, 55 – if the final reward option was chosen.
