Cataclysm -- Justice Point Drop Quantities
Don't forget the item previews if you're not sure about the price of the new items!

This list is incomplete, and the values may still change, but it covers the majority of the content we’ve been asked about.


  • Lich King Heroic dungeon boss -- 16 Justice Points
  • Lich King daily normal dungeon -- 12 Justice Points
  • Lich King daily Heroic dungeon -- 23 Justice Points
  • Lich King raid boss -- 23 Justice Points


  • Cataclysm Heroic dungeon boss -- 75 Justice Points
  • Cataclysm daily normal dungeon -- 75 Justice Points
  • Cataclysm daily Heroic dungeon -- 75 Valor Points
  • Cataclysm 10-player raid boss -- 75 Valor Points
  • Cataclysm 25-player raid boss -- 105 Valor Points

It’s important to note that once you outgrow content, by leveling past it by a predetermined amount, you’ll no longer gain points. The ‘outgrown’ level for end-game Wrath of the Lich King content is likely to be level 81. Once you level beyond Lich King content you’ll still be able to enter the dungeons, kill bosses, and see their drops, but they will not award you with points. This same principle applies to all content that provides Justice Points, including content from The Burning Crusade.

    They do this so people coming new to the game can get caught up to current raid levels and so players like me who have 8 80's can gear out more than 1 toon and allow me to switch my main if I get bored. You clearly only play one class and are narrow minded.

I think that's a good question.
    I simply don't see why it matters what someone else has. Yes, I raid. Yes, my main is decked in all 264 and 277 gear. It really doesn't bother me that someone who doesn't raid gets some 251 and 264 pieces. Why should it? What are they taking away from me? If anything it's nice that I can gear up my alts so that if I need to sub in as a healer or tank I'm actually somewhat geared for the job. It means that when we recruit someone they can (assuming they're not an idiot) start contributing right away instead of having to be carried to gear ups.

    It takes a *long* time to farm even a single current tier piece from heroics. By contrast raiders get enough points to buy a piece or more a week, plus drops. It really affects you not at all in any case. You're still getting your gear and getting it much faster. What difference does it make other than "*OMG* he has stuffs like I haz!"?

    I laugh at this. I raid and plan on multiple tanks in cat. I want a 25 man and a 10 man toon. So I am a serious raider. I could care less if someone who never steps in a raid gets last tier or after a month gets one whole piece of current tier.

    I have said before and will say it again, serious raiders care about THEIR progression.

    Progression is about progression not standing in IF or Org saying look at me.

    The day a boss I kill drops less loot so someone who doesn't raid gets some I will get mad, but until then I could care less

    Seems to be a lot of uncertainty and misinformation in this thread already...

    1) You will be able to buy tier, with a combination of VALOR points (the high end points) plus the tier token. I'm assuming when a new raid tier is released, this cost will apply to the new tier, and the older ones will revert to costing just JUSTICE points (the points from heroics). They will probably also require the token, or they might not.
    2) The system likely applies to BC content as well. I'm guessing what's purchasable now with Badges of Justice will probably cost Justice points, which you'll be able to earn from BC heroic and raid content at level 70. From 71-79 you will likely only be able to continue earning them from the daily WotLK normal dungeon, and then at 80 can continue earning them as it says in the blue post above.
    3) You will probably still be able to buy older tier with your points, if you so choose.
    4) WotLK heroics will award the same points as WotLK raids. In Cataclysm, you will earn Valor points ONLY from the 10 and 25 player raids, plus the DAILY heroic (yes, that's once per day). Everything else awards Justice points.
    5) Yes, any items that are purchasable with any emblem from WotLK (heroism, valor, conquest, triumph, and frost) will instead cost justice points.
    6) Yes, it certainly looks like you could turn off experience gain at 70 or 80 to farm points. I'm sure Blizzard wouldn't want to remove the ability for BC or WotLK "twink raids" to be able to accumulate points and get gear. And when you turn off experience gain, you turn off experience gain. It's not just for BGs, it's for everything.
    7) They are not going to reset the points for Cataclysm. It was stated in a blue post that they were not going to prevent players from saving up some points if that's what they want to do. Personally, I'll first obtain the best gear I can from WotLK (for early leveling in the expansion), then get to the points cap to save so I can buy a few 85 blues.
    8) Tip if you're curious how much WotLK gear will cost in points: Find the currency calculator here on MMO-Champion (it's a few news posts down) and input how much the item costs in emblems. The conversion rate is going to be pretty close, if not exact, to what the item will cost in Justice Points.
    9) From 81-84 the only way you'll be able to continue to farm JP as you level will be from the daily "normal" dungeon. That's once per day.

    They can easily make gear sets and other items lower level than raid gear that you can get for doing heroics, but just simply giving raid gear for people who aren't raiding is silly.
    They're not giving it away darling.. they're giving you a possibility to earn 1 item of current raidgear per month.
    Which requires the person to do 1 daily Heroic -each day- for the duration of that month.

    The Justice marks, are what you can buy the previous Tier with. Which is your old trash basically.

    lolumadbro? The sun called, he hasn't seen you in a while and wants to get together sometime.
    Because you really don't need raiding gear to down the raid bosses the same way you don't need a porsche to get somewhere... oh wait...

    In the end, that sounds more like "raiders epeen". You need the porsche to show off.

    -> Downraking the Old Tier <- Is what makes Epics so easily attainable.. the Valors per Daily mean absolutely nothing.

    We're talking 75 a day.. items cost +- 1650 valor: that means 1650/75= 22 dailies for 1 tier 11 Item. I don't see the issue really. Lets do some math: 5 items = 5x 22 = 110 days, which equals to approximately 16 weeks. Or even 4 months.. to get 5 Tier 11 items. Again.. I ask, what is the problem? I'm talking 4 months, of doing a daily -each single day- just for 5 items. I fail to see where that is not dedication. Holy christ I'm glad that I can raid and just get one or two items a week and have the set within half a month. Honestly, if someone doesn't have the means to raid, but does have the dedication to spend those 110 days they have my blessing.
    Agreed.

    Right. But why should anyone be worried about who gets previous Tier epics? Epic doesn't really mean anything unless it's from the current top Tier, and in this context "current" is an ever-shifting target.

    They've said that each new Tier release will now correspond with a Valor>Justice dump, so the "scrubs" who are not raiding will have to farm heroics for months all over again to get anything from the newest Tier, while raiders will start picking up the new Tier items almost right away.

    It would be a lot rougher if each new Tier also brought a Justice>Gold dump, which would reset the baseline, so to speak. I doubt Blizz will do this, however, since it's just too harsh on casual players.

    The only other alternative would be to downgrade all previous Tier epics to blue once the next Tier releases. That won't happen because it would be too harsh on everyone.

    Chances are, someone that makes $25k/yr probably CAN'T afford the Porsche and will not buy it because it is out of their means. Exactly how people who only do heroics don't NEED raid gear, because they don't have the means to raid.

    So you want Blizzard to divert resources off of other parts of improving the game (LOLDANCESTUDIO NE1???) to create a completely different set of gear with different color lettering because you don't want people to have the same gear?

    No, I'm saying you are stupid, because everything you say makes you sound stupid.

    Learn just some basic methods of communication, come back after your ban and try to employ them.

    I understand they wanted to make the feature popular in Lich king, but we've all seen it, we like it to some extent, we're still going to use it when we need to, stop giving the best rewards for a feature which so easily becomes menial and aggravating. This feature is one of the main reasons epic items are so easily acquired now. Change it, please.
    I hope they don't. The people that only run the daily random heroic each day will get their gear at a much, much slower pace than those that raid. And the heroics are not going to be AoE 15-20 minute grindfests where the only word said is "gogogogo". If it's become menial and aggravating, then you don't have to do it. This is a game, after all. The point is to have fun. Epic items are so easily acquired now because any heroic can be AoE'd down in 20 minutes. Not to mention that ICC, frost emblems, and the dungeon finder tool have been out for about 10 months now. Sorry, but your complaint really isn't justified unless you're saying that ICC raid heroic gear is too easily acquired now. It's still a challenge and most players won't get any of that stuff.

    In that case, what would you suggest Blizzard give heroic players to work towards after they've bought everything their Justice Points can buy (in the current tier)? What many people don't realize is that it's not about LULZ HEROIC PLAYERS NEEDZ RAIDING GEAR LULZ but more, "I want to improve my character and have a goal to work towards." Speaking as someone who used to do only heroics and Kara/ZA in BC, after a while I ran out of things to do or buy with my Badges of Justice, and it sucked... not because I wanted super duper gear, but because I no longer had something to drive me, a target to work for.

    So, for those that are arguing that heroic players shouldn't get raiding gear, what would you give them instead that they can continually work towards even after they've geared up in heroic gear?
