'''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. Instances before level 70 do not grant justice points.
−
== Objectives ==
  
−
Introduce yourself to {{NPC||Gelbin Mekkatorque||High Tinker Mekkatorque}} in [[New Tinkertown]].
  
   
  +
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.
−
== Description ==
  
−
I don't know if you'll remember Mekkatorque or not. {{NPC||Nevin Twistwrench||Nevin}} tells me that memory loss is pretty common for a [[Gnomeregan]] survivor.
  
   
  +
== Sources ==
−
Mekkatorque, or more properly, the High Tinker Mekkatorque, is the leader of all [[gnome]]s. He has made a habit of meeting with every rescued survivor personally. You should introduce yourself to him. He'll be with his war council beneath the tent in the center of town.

Justice Points are rewarded in level-appropriate dungeons and raids at the following quantities<ref>http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27026399005&sid=1&pageNo=1#0</ref>:

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

It's good to meet you, <name>. You've probably heard others speaking of [[Operation: Gnomeregan]]. Let me tell you a bit about what happened and why we left the [[dwarf|dwarven]] city of [[Ironforge]].

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 {{loot|rare|Eye of Haramad}} or {{loot|uncommon|Shaffar's Stasis Chamber Key}} to summon {{NPC||Yor}} in order to receive the fourth badge, and [[Shattered Halls]] which gives a fifth badge if you kill the {{NPC||Shattered Hand Executioner}} 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 {{cost||47|50}} per Justice Point.
  +
  +
=== Other emblems, badges and tokens ===
  +
{{loot|epic|Emblem of Valor|Emblems of Valor}}, {{loot|epic|Emblem of Heroism|Heroism}}, and {{loot|epic|Emblem of Conquest|Conquest}} were immediately converted to gold (and not Justice Points) at a ratio of {{cost|5|50}} per emblem in [[Patch 4.0.1]]. {{loot|epic|Badge of Justice|Badges of Justice}} were also immediately converted to gold at a rate of {{cost|1|83|30}} per badge.
  +
  +
PvP-based currency was converted to [[Honor Point]]s much the same way.
  +
  +
Other, specific currencies such as [[Champion's Seal]]s was not converted.<ref>http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27026326746&sid=1&pageNo=4#74</ref>
  +
  +
=== 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.
  +
  +
<!-- This part needs editing! -->
  +
The conversion did affect the prices of [[Heirloom]]s 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:
  +

Pvecurrency-justice
  • Justice Points
  • Earned for defeating dungeon or older raid bosses and used to purchase powerful PvE armor and weapons.

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. Instances before level 70 do not grant justice points.

Justice Points replaced Inv misc frostemblem 01 [Emblem of Frost] and Spell holy summonchampion [Emblem of Triumph]. Cataclysm based raid content also rewards Pvecurrency-valor [Valor Points]. The cap for Justice Points is 4000.

Sources

Justice Points are rewarded in level-appropriate dungeons and raids at the following quantities[1]:

Objective Points
Cataclysm (80-85) Normal daily dungeon 140 Justice Points
Cataclysm (85) Heroic boss 70 Justice Points
Wrath of the Lich King (68-80) Normal daily dungeon 12 Justice Points
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Heroic boss 16 Justice Points
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Heroic dungeon 24 Justice Points
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Raid boss 24 Justice Points
Wrath of the Lich King (80) Weekly raid quest 138 Justice Points
Burning Crusade (70) Heroic boss 5 Justice Points
Burning Crusade (70) Daily heroic quest 10 Justice Points

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 rewarded 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.

Justice Points by (Random) Instance

Instance Type # players Duration (min) Justice Points Minutes per Justice Point
Throne of the Tides heroic 5 - 280 (140[1]) -
Blackrock Caverns heroic 5 - 350 (140[2]) -
Stonecore heroic 5 - 280 -

Halls of Origination heroic 5 - 490 (210[3]) -
Deadmines heroic 5 - 420 -

  • [1] Two bosses can be skipped
  • [2] Three bosses can be skipped
  • [3] Four bosses can be skipped
  • [4] One boss can be skipped

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 in order to receive the fourth badge, and Shattered Halls which gives a fifth badge if you kill the Shattered Hand Executioner before he kills any prisoners.

Justice Points for raids are not verified.

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 47s 50c 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 5g 50s per emblem in Patch 4.0.1. [Badges of Justice] were also immediately converted to gold at a rate of 1g 83s 30c 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.[3]

Comparison of purchasing power

With the introduction of Justice Points (Patch 4.0.1), that replaced Inv misc frostemblem 01 [Emblem of Frost] and Spell holy summonchampion [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 Spell holy proclaimchampion [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 Spell holy proclaimchampion [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

  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.6 (2011-02-08):
  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Justice Points over the 4,000 hard cap will be immediately converted at a ratio of 47s 50c per Justice Point.
  • Cataclysm 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.
