Justice Points are the new currency to buy items as a reward for participating in Wrath of the Lich King dungeons and raids (up to level 80), as well as Cataclysm dungeons on normal and heroic mode (after the first random). Justice Points replaced [Emblems of Frost] and [Emblems of Triumph]. Cataclysm based raid content will reward Valor Points instead.

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 will be rewarded for players levels 81 and above. The same rule applies for Burning Crusade content, which will also reward Justice Points.

Cataclysm Rewards

For each playable faction (Horde/Alliance) there are two places where Justice Points can be spent. In Dalaran there is a vendor in each section of the city where the Emblem vendors congregated in Wrath of the Lich King. For the Alliance, Justice Points can be spent in Stormwind in the command center, in the southernmost portion of Old Town. Magatha Silverton is the Justice Quartermaster. To her left is Faldren Tillsdale, the Valorous Quartermaster. Justice Points can purchase Item Level 346 Rare gear, which will cost 950-2200 Justice Points depending on the slot of the item.

Conversion of Emblems to Justice Points

When players first log 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.

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

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

Other emblems, badges and tokens

[Emblems of Valor], [Heroism], and [Conquest] will be immediately converted to gold (and not Justice Points) at a ratio of 5 gold per emblem in Patch 4.0.1.

PvP-based currency will be converted to Honor points much the same way.

Other, specific currencies such as Champion’s Seals will not be converted.

Comparison of purchasing power

With the introduction of Justice Points (Patch 4.0.1), that replaced [Emblems of Frost] and [Emblems 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 [Emblems 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 [Emblems 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 gives 55, 71, 87 or 103 points, you currently need 35-45 runs to earn this.
