    Question About Valor Weekly and Total Cap

    I'm sitting at 2500 valor right now and weekly reset is about to happen. If I reach 3000 valor this coming week, will my weekly cap freeze at 500 until I spend some valor or will it continue to accrue towards the weekly cap even though I'm not gaining any valor being 3000 capped?

    This question will affect my entire day tomorrow and what raids I will take part of with my guild, so I need to know! lol

    You just won't gain valor till you get under cap. It won't screw you out of 500 valor.

    I am pretty sure it will still accrue towards the weekly cap, wasting anything over 500 that you gain unless you spent it prior.

    Did anyone test this in 5.1? Last time I was in this situation was a very long time ago.

    Your weekly will freeze on 500/1000 until you spend some.

    Alternately, you could simply spend 500 Valor on something.

    Once 5.2 hits, it will get reset anyhow, and the upgrade NPCs will be removed till 5.3.

    If you are that close to cap, why not spend it? Surely there is an item you could upgrade, since it would take something like 5 months to upgrade all slots. That way you don't have to worry about the caps.
    I found I enjoyed the game significantly more when I stopped paying attention to all the people on the forums telling me how much I am supposed to hate it
    All this complaining is simply further proof that Blizzard could send each and every player a real-life wish-granting flying unicorn carrying a solid gold plate of chocolate chip cookies wrapped in hundred dollar bills, and someone would whine that Blizzard sucks for not letting them choose oatmeal raisin.

    VP/CP reset with every major patch. 5.2 is the next reset

    Well, this coming raid week, 3 BiS items can drop for me and upgrading them would be FAR more useful than upgrading the non-heroic, non-BiS gear that I have now.

    Like you said, it would take 5 months to upgrade everything, so I don't want to waste 750 valor on an upgrade to an item that I will be replacing within a month.

    If you recall, in Wrath there was a new tier of badge with each expansion. In cata valor was current tier, previous tier stuff replaced the justice items available until then and any "banked" valor/conquest likewise became justice/honour. This second model is the one in current use.

    I'm waiting for loot table for new world bosses and VP vendors. Only thing I can think of that wont be replaced, is my upgraded DMF trinket.
    I'm pretty sure the 2/2 upgraded heroic gear will be just barely below or at the same ilvl as normal 5.2 raid loot.

    Chances are better that you will see none of them drop than that you get even one. Determine the item least likely to be replaced and upgrade it once.

    Also, that should be "might be replacing within a month". Keep in mind that 5.2 might go live in a month and a half. You might not actually get that upgrade before then.

    I will upgrade an item once if I'm forced to spend valor but right now I'm not. I want to use the valor the best way possible, which is why I asked this question. It seems these kind of responses are coming from people that want to make a post but don't know the answer to the question.

    I call Bull. Heroic gear was never weaker then the next normal tier. Not in Wrath or Cata so i doubt it will be in Mists. I just hope the new valor gear isnt better then the 0/2 heroic because that would be a insult to raiders.

    Realy?
    T11 HC 372 T12 Normal 378
    T12 HC 391 T13 Normal 397

    But 2/2 upgraded heroic gear will be higher ilvl then normal gear.

    Except like heroic ulduar gear was 239 and normal toc was 245. Heroic toc was 258 normal icc was 264. Heroic t11 was 372 normal firelands was 378. etc

    Seems I was right in this prediction.

    2/2 upgraded Heroic is ilvl 517
    Normal Mode 5.2 is ilvl 522

    Heroic Elite is 524, though it would probably best be compared to Thunderforged, so it's still slighly below.
