Valor Points are the upper-level currency awarded for participating in PvE encounters, typically raids and heroic dungeons in the current expansion. The lower-level PvE currency,
[Justice Points], is awarded from normal and heroic dungeons, and some older raids. Items sold for Valor Points are available from Commander Oxheart at Niuzao Temple in Townlong Steppes and all of the Pandarian faction quartermasters.
