New Currencies in Cataclysm Classic

Cataclysm brings multiple new currencies to the game while removing the majority of the currencies previously available. Below you can find all of the information available for these new currencies, where to get them, and what they can be spent on.

Justice Points are earned from end-game normal and heroic dungeons, as well as previous raid tiers. Justice Points can be spent on pre-raid gear, heirlooms and gear from previous raid tiers.

Justice Points are the newest, main currency system added in during Cataclysm. Justice Points replace the convoluted badge system from Wrath of the Lich King; instead of having a new badge for each phase, such as Emblem of Heroism and Emblem of Conquest, Justice Points are the "non-raid" currency for every phase. Players can have a total of 4,000 Justice Points.

When Cataclysm releases, all older PvE currencies will be converted to gold, while more current PvE currencies will be converted to Justice Points. Below you can find an exact detailed conversion rate released by Blizzard:

• 1 Badge of Justice — 1 gold 83 silver 30 copper
• 1 Emblem of Heroism — 5 gold 50 silver
• 1 Emblem of Valor — 5 gold 50 silver
• 1 Emblem of Conquest — 5 gold 50 silver
• 1 Emblem of Triumph — 11.58 Justice Points
• 1 Emblem of Frost — 11.58 Justice Points

Valor Points are the new raid currency which can only be obtained from defeating Cataclysm raid bosses and are used to purchase current tier raid gear. Players can only earn a total of 1,600 Valor Points a week. With each new raid tier introduced to the game, all Valor Points will be converted to Justice Points.

While Honor Points are not a new currency, it has received a large rework in Cataclysm. Players can only have a maximum of Honor Points, kills and battlegrounds award much less Honor overall, and gear PvP gear is priced much lower to match the new gains.

With the release of the pre-patch for Cataclysm, all older PvP currencies will be converted to the new Honor Points, at rates shown below:

• 1 Old Honor — 0.024 Honor Points.
• , , , , , 1 of any Battleground Mark of Honor — 2.976 Honor Points.
• 1 Wintergrasp Mark of Honor — 19.08 Honor Points.
• 1 Stone Keeper's Shard — 1.6 Honor Points.
• 1 Venture Coin — 3 Honor Points.
• 1 Spirit Shard — 1 Honor Points.

Conquest Points replace Arena Points from past expansions and are earned by winning matches in Arenas and Rated Battlegrounds. Conquest Points can also be earned by winning your first random battleground of the day. These points are used for Arena PvP gear sets, similar to previous expansions.
