Justice Points

• Justice Points
• Earned for defeating dungeon or older raid bosses and used to purchase powerful PvE armor and weapons.
• Total Maximum: 4000

Justice Points are rewarded for completion of high level PvE dungeons and raids and used as currency for gear and other rewards that are oriented toward the PvE style of play. Points are commonly rewarded after killing a boss or after completing a dungeon that was initiated using the Dungeon Finder. One requirement is that all participants of the dungeon must conform to level requirements, or else no reward will be given to any participant. Using the Dungeon Finder to random a Wrath of the Lich King dungeon on normal difficulty will reward you with 12 Justice Points.

Justice Points replaced  [Emblem of Frost] and  [Emblem of Triumph]. Cataclysm based raid content also rewards [Valor Points]. The cap for Justice Points is 4000. After each patch, Justice Points above the cap are converted to 47 per Justice Point.

Sources

Justice Points are rewarded in level-appropriate dungeons and raids at the following quantities:

Objective	Points
Argaloth (Baradin Hold)	70
Cataclysm (80-85) Normal dungeon boss	30
Cataclysm (80-85) Normal random dungeon[1]	140
Cataclysm (85) Heroic dungeon boss	70
Wrath of the Lich King (68-80) Normal daily dungeon	12
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Heroic boss	16
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Heroic dungeon	24
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Raid boss	24
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Weekly raid quest	138
Burning Crusade (70) Heroic boss	5
Burning Crusade (70) Daily heroic quest	10
Burning Crusade (70) Raid boss	10

• ^[1] This can only be done 7 times per week

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 are awarded for players levels 81 and above (except for the weekly raid quest award). The same rule applies for Burning Crusade content, which also rewards Justice Points.

Time estimates assume a good but not exceptional group. Wipes will vastly increase the total, of course. Justice Points counts assume all bosses being downed during the run. Skip some, get less.

The following is a list of instances that have bosses which drop Justice Points. The best place to farm points is Karazhan, and the fastest method to get them with a group of five is the Mechanar. The number of points received assumes a full clear of each instance, the only exceptions being Mana-Tombs which requires a player with the item [Eye of Haramad] or [Shaffar's Stasis Chamber Key] to summon Yor, and the Shattered Halls which requires the Shattered Hand Executioner to be killed before he kills any prisoners.

Conversion of Emblems to Justice Points

When players first logged 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.

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

Other emblems, badges and tokens

[Emblems of Valor], [Heroism], and [Conquest] were immediately converted to gold (and not Justice Points) at a ratio of 5 50 per emblem in Patch 4.0.1. [Badges of Justice] were also immediately converted to gold at a rate of 1 83 30 per badge.

PvP-based currency was converted to Honor Points much the same way.

Other, specific currencies such as Champion's Seals was not converted.

Comparison of purchasing power

With the introduction of Justice Points (Patch 4.0.1), that replaced  [Emblem of Frost] and  [Emblem 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  [Emblem 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  [Emblem 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 at level 80 gives 55, 71, 87 or 103 points, you would need 35-45 runs to earn this.

Notes

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

Patch history

• Patch 4.2.0 (2011-06-28): Tier 11 '359' Gear now purchasable via Justice Points
  
• Patch 4.0.6 (2011-02-08):
  • The daily Random Dungeon reward on normal difficulty has been increased to 140 Justice Points, up from 70.
  • Level-85 dungeon bosses in Lost City of the Tol'vir, Grim Batol, and Halls of Origination now drop 30 Justice Points each when killed.
    
• Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Justice Points over the 4,000 hard cap will be immediately converted at a ratio of 47 50 per Justice Point.
  
• Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12):
  • All [Emblems of Frost] and [Emblems of Triumph] have been converted to new Justice Points.
  • Any dungeon or raid which awarded these emblems will reward Justice Points instead. Anything below Emblems of Triumph, including badges from The Burning Crusade dungeon and raid content, have been converted into gold and sent to players via the in-game mail system.
  • Any bosses players defeat that are level-appropriate to them award Justice Points.
  • All items that previously cost emblems or badges of any type now cost Justice Points.
