Valor Point Conversion in 4.2

Valor Point Conversion in 4.2

World of Warcraft update 4.2, Rage of the Firelands, will introduce the first new raid tier in Cataclysm, and with that it will also introduce the first conversion from Valor Points to Justice Points. For anyone running Heroics and raids, this is important information to ensure you spend your points wisely before release of the patch.

With the release of patch 4.2 all Valor Points will be converted down to Justice Points up to the 4000 point cap, with any points over the cap being converted to gold at a rate of 47 silver per point. In addition, all previous Tier 11 Valor items will now be purchasable with Justice from the Justice Point vendors, and new Tier 12 Valor items will be available from the Valor vendors.

For example: I have 3300 Justice Points and 1600 Valor Points. Upon logging in after 4.2 releases I’ll see that my Valor has been down-converted to Justice; I now have 4000 Justice Points and 0 Valor Points. 900 of my Valor Points were over the 4000 point cap, they converted at a rate of 47 silver per point (.47x900), and so I received 423 gold as compensation.

The maximum you can have is 4000 Justice points, and Justice will be able to buy Tier 11 gear, so it’s important to go ahead and spend Valor before 4.2 if the conversion would take you over the 4000-point Justice cap and you have no need for the gold.

damn blizzard stealing all my points and what not. I wonder if people would complain if blizz added a THIRD currency for the new gear because it would have the exact same effect as this conversion. except you wouldn't get a little lump of gold as well.

All I got to say about this that when they made t11 jp avaible I'd suggested to remove the tokens, since no one will plan on raiding: BwL, BoT, ToFW due the fact they don't offer any real reason to do it anymore. Only purpose people would go there now is for the achievement so they can later on start the legendary quest.

I quite like the patch changes wrt to the pve and pvp currencies and the gear and all that... for what it's worth...

I was very disappointed when I reached 80 and 85, because when I reached 70, I worked hard to make sure I had enough honor points to get 70 pvp gear. It was fun as hell. I could hold my own against 74's when I was 70 because of my planning for it in the 65-69 bracket. I was basically rewarded in pwnage for spending time planning my gear for the next big bracket. When I reached 80 and 85 and saw the standard of the gear, it was like all my hard work was for nothing, as it pretty much sucked. As far as I can tell you get more bang for your honor-bucks now ^^ (and justice-bucks) :Þ

Since I'm quite new to WoW I can't complain much on things like this happening. But what I do know is that 10 Justice Points is worth more than 1 gold. I would rather have gotten 7290 Justice Points than getting 4000 JP and 329 gold.
Login to rate
@Walcor: that says its 47 silver per JP over so its more like 2.2 jp = 1 gold not 10jp = 1 gold

@Walcor: u will get about 1.5k for ur extra points

THIs is a damn game and it supposed to be FUN. just becuse this happend you cant cry like a damn baby and think your life is hell. games are for you to be fun and you have to work to complete things. and think about it . if all of you had like milion valor points you all could just buy the tier 12 and then you got everything in the damn patch in like 3 second.

@Mappo: dude, did u pla in the transition from wotlk to cata? all the frost emblems u earned got turned to justice and so did the triumph... ITS EXACTLY THE SAME! only now valor will be more prestigous and harder to get ( i belive) so if u wanna quit go ahead, but ur the one that will lose out because u couldnt be bothered with a change, these things happen in these type of updating games.

Well Blizzard, I surrender. you've finally, finally broken my spirit - I clawed and scraped my way through heroics and was about to buy my first purple and make a real push to be a good player. Just wanted to say thanks, thanks for destroying the last vestige, that last glimmer of "can I really be arsed anymore to make an effort?"

blizz i worked hard a valor why like that i start to hate this game

I love how your all complaining about this... you obviously havent been playing that long, we saw blizz do the same thing at the end of BC, all throughout Wrath with the emblems of frost, and during the transition from wrath to Cata. Are you honestly saying that you didn't expect to see this happen? Besides, they have to do it or if someone stocked up 4000 VP it would entitle them to an instant two-set T12 bonus tomorrow morning, which is hardly fair.

Logic and Past experience guys, you all seem to be lacking them both! :P

@Nykia: agree <3 yeah thats exactly as you said, always they r complaining about this ))))))))) For explain Blizz's point of view/ *Ppl who reached 85 yesterday, they will have a chance to join raiding and high end content, coz not every *yesterday lvled 85* is a noob, many ppl switching realms, lvl new classes, and just stop to play for years then back

@Nykia:
makes sense to me, and don't wine. If you go over the cap you get gold instead, and otherwise you can still get your T11 to gear some up for firelands and get your T12 set. Can't see how to spend your justice points in an otherway. Maybe there is a positive side to this. If the T11 price was lowered in the process you can get 2 pieces at once.
