== Warlords of Draenor {{warlords-inline}} ==
'''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 point]]s.

== In Mists of Pandaria ==
{{mists-section}}
* The weekly cap will be reduced from 4,000 to {{cost|vp=3,000}}.<ref name="wowheadnewsVPBuffCap">{{ref web|work=[[Wowhead]] News|url=http://www.wowhead.com/news=205283/mists-of-pandaria-valor-point-and-gear-acquisition-preview|title=Mists of Pandaria: Valor Point and Gear Acquisition Preview|author=[http://www.wowhead.com/news&user=perculia perculia]|date=7-Aug-2012 2:04 PM}}</ref>

Up to [[item level]] 397 items will be available for purchase with Valor points along with the following changes:<ref name="patch43">{{ref web|work=Official World of Warcraft Community site (US)|url=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/3615104/43_Valor_Changes-10_4_2011|title=4.3 Valor Changes|author=[[Bashiok]]|date=4-Oct-2011 6:00 PM PDT}}<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;{{ref web|work=Official World of Warcraft Community site (EU)|url=http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/blog/3077118/43_Valor_Changes-05_10_2011|title=4.3 Valor Changes|author=[[Bashiok]]|date=5-Oct-2011 01:00 UTC}}</ref>
* [[Looking for Dungeon]] — {{cost|vp=150}} VP per run, with a cap of seven runs per week. All Cataclysm heroic dungeons introduced in [[Patch 4.0.3|4.0]], [[Patch 4.1.0|4.1]], and [[Patch 4.3.0|4.3]], will provide {{cost|vp=150}} Valor per run.
* [[Looking for Raid]] — {{cost|vp=250}} VP per run, with a cap of {{cost|vp=500}} per week. The 4.3 raid, [[Dragon Soul (instance)|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 {{cost|vp=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 {{cost|vp=250}} Valor for completing each Raid Finder raid, up to the {{cost|vp=500}} cap.
* 10 player {{cata-inline}} raid boss — {{cost|vp=115}} VP. There are nine bosses per week, counting Baradin Hold.
* 25 player {{cata-inline}} raid boss — {{cost|vp=135}} VP. There are nine bosses per week, counting Baradin Hold.
* Valor Points cap at {{cost|vp=1000}} per week.

== In Patch 4.2 ==
{{cata-section}}
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/{{cost||47}} and [[Tier 11]] items will be purchasable with Justice points.<ref>{{ref web|url=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2943351|title=Valor Point Conversion in 4.2|author=[[Bashiok]]|date=14-Jun-2011 6:00 PM PDT}}</ref> Presumably, this conversion will take place each time a new raid tier is released.

=== Temporary sellback policy ===
{{bluepost
|title=Point Conversion Sellback Policy
|poster=Bashiok
|date=6/25/11 10:13 AM
|body=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 {{loot|epic|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

== Rewards ==
Valor Points can be spent by the [[Alliance]] in [[Stormwind]] and by the [[Horde]] in [[Orgrimmar]]. Valor Points can purchase [[Item Level]] 359 Epic gear, which will cost 700-2200 Valor Points depending on the slot of the item. The items purchased may then be upgraded to Heroic versions of the gear by obtaining an [[Essence of the Forlorn]] from raid content, and the converting it at the Valorous Quartermaster for a X-of the forlorn, where X is the slot of the item that one wishes to upgrade. Heroic versions have an [[Item level]] of 372.
