Mists of Pandaria Classic Pre-Patch - Currency Conversions and Rewards Changes

As we prepare for the release of the Mists of Pandaria Classic pre-patch on July 1, we want to update you on some of the currency conversions that will take place during maintenance.

With the Patch on July 1
  • Valor points will be converted to Justice points and Conquest points will be converted to Honor points.
  • All Justice and Honor points that exceed the 4000 point caps will be converted to gold at the rate of 35 silver per Honor point and 47 silver per Justice point.
  • Players will no longer be able to earn Valor or Conquest points (bosses will drop Justice; Arenas will be closed).
  • Items formerly purchasable for Valor/Conquest will be available for Justice/Honor.

Obsidian Fragments, Fissure Stone Fragments, and Commendations of Service
  • With Mists of Pandaria Classic pre-patch, vendors will no longer sell Commendation of Service for Fissure Stone Fragments and Obsidian Fragments.
  • Commendation of Service will no longer be redeemable for Justice Points. Players can sell them back to vendors for gold.

With the first weekly reset after the MoP Classic launch the week of July 21
  • Valor can be earned again.
    • For Mists of Pandaria Classic, we have increased the Valor cap, and characters can now earn up to 1600 Valor per week. Likewise, similar to Cataclysm Classic, we have implemented a progressive Valor cap, which will increase by 1600 each week.
      • Developer’s notes: For example, week 1 will have a cap of 1600, and week 2 will have a cap of 3200, and so on. Our intention is to allow easier catch up, if you miss a week of reaching the cap. This will also greatly allow alt characters to catch up.
    • Daily quests, random Scenarios, random Heroic dungeons, and all levels of raiding will reward Valor.
      • Similar to Cataclysm Classic, we have increased the amount of Valor rewarded for these activities.
    • Valor will be used to purchase iLvl 489 gear in Mists of Pandaria Classic.
      • The Klaxxi, Golden Lotus, Shado-Pan, August Celestials factions, and Justice and Valor Quarter Masters at the Niuzao Temple will sell this gear.
      • Valor point gear purchases are still gated behind earning reputation with the associated faction. Some requirements have been lowered or sped up.
  • Once you have collected 1000 Valor on a character on your account, all other characters on that account will have Valor point gains increased by 50% for the remainder of the week.

With the start of PvP Season 11 the week of July 28
  • Conquest will become earnable.
    • There is a cap of 4000 Conquest points. Similar to Cataclysm Classic, we have implemented a progressive cap, which will increase by 4000 each week.
      • Our intention is to allow easier catch up, if you miss a week of reaching the cap. This will also greatly allow alt characters to catch up.
    • Arenas and Battlegrounds reward Conquest.
    • It will be used to purchase iLvl 483 gear from Pandaren battlemasters on the Great Wall.


Please remember that purchasing any item with Honor Points and Justice Points after the patch will require that the purchaser meet the item’s minimum level requirement.

Thank you very much!

Once again, during this time time, we’re asking as many players as possible to join us on the Beta to help simulate launch conditions. Level 85 templates, character copies, and all classes and races will be accessible.

Testers may begin gathering and setting up characters at 2:00 p.m. PDT, and starting quests will become active at 2:50 p.m. PDT. Thereafter, you can storm Pandaria and give us lots of data about how the transports are doing! If you encounter any issues during the test, please submit them using the in-game bug reporting tool.

This stress test will be available to all players, regardless of your previous Beta access, and like last time-- there will be shenanigans.

Thank you!

We’re changing the way the loot system for the holiday boss drops work. We have increased drop rates significantly for the first boss kill on a single account. Only the first attempt on a single Battle.net account will be eligible to receive the item drop, however. For each subsequent daily attempt on the boss with a single Battle.net account, the chance for the item to drop will increase and continues to accumulate for each failed attempt. This change will allow players to spend less time working to earn a specific dropped item while providing an increasing opportunity to get that item during the holiday.
