Notes

• With the new system of Login rewards you can receive up to 55 Laurels per month (by logging in 28 days per month) as opposed to 40 Laurels per 30-day month using the old system (by completing every daily and the monthly).

Trivia

• Laurels were added during the January 28, 2013 content 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 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.
