Warlords of Draenor

Valor Points are the upper-level currency rewarded for participating in PvE encounters, typically raids, daily random Heroic mode dungeons, and various daily or weekly quests. The lower-level PvE currency, that was rewarded from heroic mode dungeons in previous expansions, was awarded in the form of Justice points.

In Mists of Pandaria

This section concerns content exclusive to Mists of Pandaria.

• The weekly cap will be reduced from 4,000 to 3,000 .
• A new buff increases point gain for alts when a character reaches the cap: [Valor of the Ancients]

  • Golden Lotus: Shoulder, Chest, Finger
  • Shado-Pan: Head, Back, Trinket

In Patch 4.3

This section concerns content exclusive to Cataclysm.

Up to item level 397 items will be available for purchase with Valor points along with the following changes:

• Looking for Dungeon — 150 VP per run, with a cap of seven runs per week. All Cataclysm heroic dungeons introduced in 4.0, 4.1, and 4.3, will provide 150 Valor per run.
• Looking for Raid — 250 VP per run, with a cap of 500 per week. The 4.3 raid, Dragon Soul, will be split into two separate raids for the Raid Finder. While individual bosses do not drop Valor when using the Raid Finder, you will receive 250 Valor for completing each Dragon Soul raid. Each boss will only drop loot for you once per week, but you will continue to get the 250 Valor for completing each Raid Finder raid, up to the 500 cap.
• 10 player raid boss — 115 VP. There are nine bosses per week, counting Baradin Hold.
• 25 player raid boss — 135 VP. There are nine bosses per week, counting Baradin Hold.
• Valor Points cap at 1000 per week.

In Patch 4.2

This section concerns content exclusive to Cataclysm.

As of Patch 4.2 and part of the introduction of a new raid tier (Tier 12), all Valor points were converted to Justice points up to a cap of 4000 with excess being converted to money at a rate of 1/47 and Tier 11 items will be purchasable with Justice points. Presumably, this conversion will take place each time a new raid tier is released.

New Valor point totals for clearing new Firelands raid and Baradin Hold:

Players	Firelands Raid	Baradin Hold	Firelands Raid + Baradin Hold
10-Man	840   Valor Points	120   Valor Points	960   Valor Points
25-Man	980   Valor Points	140   Valor Points	1120   Valor Points

Temporary sellback policy

Point Conversion Sellback Policy | 2011-06-25 10:13 | Bashiok

With the release of 4.2 all Valor Points will be down-converted to Justice Points, and all Conquest Points will be down-converted to Honor Points. To curb the ability to sell items back to the vendors after the conversion for the higher currency, we’re instituting a new sellback policy for items purchased directly before currency down-conversions.

Items purchased within the two hour window before the release of 4.2 will lose their ability to be sold back to the vendor when the realms are brought down for maintenance. No refunds will be granted for items purchased during this time, either by the in-game vendors, or our support departments.

As an example, I buy the [Vicious Gladiator's Battle Staff] at 2:30 a.m. The servers come down for the release of 4.2 half an hour later. Normally I would still have an hour and a half after the servers return to sell the item back to the vendor. With this policy change though, upon logging in my item can no longer be sold back to the vendor.

This policy is only in effect for maintenances that include currency down-conversions, such as the release of 4.2. To ensure you don’t purchase the wrong item with the inability to sell it back, we recommend buying well before the final two hours so there’s time to change any incorrect purchases.

For more information on the down-conversion please refer to: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2880562
