Justice Points

• Justice Points
• Earned for defeating dungeon or older raid bosses and used to purchase powerful PvE armor and weapons.
• Total Maximum: 4000

Justice Points are rewarded for completion of high level PvE dungeons and raids and used as currency for gear and other rewards that are oriented toward the PvE style of play. Points are commonly rewarded after killing a boss or after completing a dungeon that was initiated using the Dungeon Finder. One requirement is that all participants of the dungeon must conform to level requirements, or else no reward will be given to any participant.

Justice Points replaced  [Emblem of Frost] and  [Emblem of Triumph]. Mists of Pandaria based raid content also rewards [Valor Points]. The cap for Justice Points is 4000. After each patch, Justice Points above the cap are converted to 47 per Justice Point.

Sources

Justice Points are rewarded in level-appropriate dungeons and raids at the following quantities:

Objective	Points
Mists of Pandaria (90) Heroic dungeon boss	100
Cataclysm (85) [Siege of Wyrmrest Temple] in Raid Finder (once per week)	250
Cataclysm (85) [Fall of Deathwing] in Raid Finder (once per week)	250
Cataclysm (80-85) Normal/heroic random dungeon	150
Cataclysm (85) Dragon Soul raid boss	100
Cataclysm (85) Argaloth in Baradin Hold	70
Cataclysm (85) Heroic dungeon boss	70
Cataclysm (85) Firelands raid boss	50
Cataclysm (85) Pre-Firelands 25-player raid boss	45
Cataclysm (85) Pre-Firelands 10-player raid boss	35
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Weekly raid quest	138
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Heroic dungeon	24
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Raid boss	24
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Heroic boss	16
Wrath of the Lich King (68-80) Normal daily dungeon	12
Burning Crusade (70) Daily heroic quest	10
Burning Crusade (70) Raid boss	10
Burning Crusade (70) Heroic boss	5

Outgrowing content by out-leveling it will result in the listed objectives no longer rewarding Justice Points. Thus, for Wrath of the Lich King content, no Justice Points are awarded for players levels 81 and above (except for the weekly raid quest award). The same rule applies for Burning Crusade content, which also rewards Justice Points.

Conversion of Emblems to Justice Points

When players first logged in after Patch 4.0.1, the number of Justice Points they have will be calculated as follows:

JP = 11.58 * (EoT + EoF)

where:

• JP = the number of Justice Points;
• EoT = the number of Emblems of Triumph;
• EoF = the number of Emblems of Frost.

However, if the one-time emblem-to-point conversion granted the player more than 4,000 Justice Points, they were unable to accumulate any additional Justice Points until they had spent the excess. In Patch 4.0.3a, any Justice Points above 4,000 were immediately converted to gold at a ratio of 47 50 per Justice Point.

Other emblems, badges and tokens

[Emblems of Valor], [Heroism], and [Conquest] were immediately converted to gold (and not Justice Points) at a ratio of 5 50 per emblem in Patch 4.0.1. [Badges of Justice] were also immediately converted to gold at a rate of 1 83 30 per badge.

PvP-based currency was converted to Honor Points much the same way.

Other, specific currencies such as Champion's Seals was not converted.

Comparison of purchasing power

With the introduction of Justice Points (Patch 4.0.1), that replaced  [Emblem of Frost] and  [Emblem of Triumph], players will be able to use the same currency to purchase both Tier 9 and Tier 10, potentially skipping the earlier in favour of the latter. Obtaining Tier 10 is now in comparison faster and easier.

The conversion did affect the prices of Heirlooms as well, from using  [Emblem of Heroism] to using the same currency. The prices for Heirlooms seems to be equated for the Justice Point income at level 85, which at level 80 means relatively higher costs. Example:

• [Dignified Headmaster's Charge]
  • Prior cost was 65  [Emblem of Heroism]. Being that the average Random Heroic gave about 6 Emblems, you needed 10-12 runs to earn this.
  • Patch 4.0.1 changed the cost to 3500 Justice Points. As a Random Heroic at level 80 gives 55, 71, 87 or 103 points, you would need 35-45 runs to earn this.

Notes

• Players cannot stockpile more than 4,000 Justice Points at any time by normal means of running instances.

Trivia

• The name of this particular point system was obviously inspired by the iconic  [Badge of Justice] currency system originally appearing in The Burning Crusade expansion.
