'''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.

''Humans, night elves, dwarves, gnomes, draenei, and most recently worgen make up the illustrious Alliance. Proud and noble, courageous and wise, these races work together to preserve order in Azeroth. The Alliance is driven by honor and tradition. Its rulers are champions of justice, hope, knowledge, and faith.''

''In a time when chaos and uncertainty reign, the Alliance remains steadfast in its determination to bring light to the darkest corners of the world.''<ref>''Darkmoon Faire Cataclysm Promotion: Fortune card''</ref>

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.

The '''Alliance''' (aka '''Grand Alliance'''<ref>''[[World of Warcraft]]'' manual, p.171</ref>) is one of two major political [[faction]]s of the mortal races in [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], its counterpart being the [[Horde]]. The Alliance consists of powerful cultures and groups bound not by desperation or necessity, but by their deep commitments to abstract concepts like nobility and honor.<ref>"[[Beginnings and Ends]]"</ref> The Alliance was once also known as the [[Alliance of Lordaeron]] when its leadership was centered in [[Lordaeron]]. However, the Alliance was forced to move the bulk of its forces to Kalimdor and to the southern Eastern Kingdoms continents of [[Khaz Modan]] and [[Azeroth (continent)|Azeroth]] after a [[plague]] of undeath ravaged the Kingdom of [[Lordaeron]] several years ago. It has since lost many members as well as gained new allies.

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.

The Alliance is not a uniform governmental body, but is a coalition of mutual military and economic aid. Housing the Alliance Assembly, [[Theramore]] was once considered the official home of the new Alliance, when Stormwind was bound under [[Onyxia]]'s thrall under the guise of Katrana Prestor. The inability of Stormwind to act forced both [[Theramore]] and the [[night elf|night elves]] to step in, resulting in a growing gap of cooperation between the two continents. This, however, is no longer the case with King Varian's return and the death of Onyxia. Varian's direct aid to the Night Elves has won their trust, and Jaina's constant presence with him as an advisor (and to temper his edges) has firmly reunited Theramore and Stormwind once more.

In the past, certain rules, customs, and regulations were a constant hindrance to mutual actions across the entire Alliance. This made cooperation sluggish, and considerably slowed the rate at which the Alliance was able to reclaim its former lands and glory. Despite the problems and intrigues within their leadership, all parts of the Alliance are steadfast in their desire to reclaim and rebuild, and all members share a distrust of the Horde. Approximately 800,000 souls belong to the allied races spanning two continents (based on membership numbers of the Church of Light)<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', ???</ref>. The Alliance is a great and peaceful body overall, their might being legendary, but their desire for peace, even stronger. Above all, where {{npc||Jaina Proudmoore}} and {{npc||Tyrande Whisperwind}} are good at coordinating their efforts on Kalimdor, Lady {{npc||Katrana Prestor}} of Stormwind was doing a fine job of undoing the Alliance in the [[Eastern Kingdoms]],<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', 163</ref> however she has been slain in lore and King {{npc||Varian Wrynn}} has now taken his rightful place as king.<ref>[[World of Warcraft: Issue 14]]</ref>

== Conversion of Emblems to Justice Points ==
−
Even now, as always, humans are the glue that hold the Alliance together, being the most numerous and diplomatic of the member races. The armies of Stormwind are stationed through out the Eastern Kingdoms, trying to retake regions such as Duskwood, Westfall, and The Redridge mountains. The armies of Ironforge are mainly stationed in Khaz Modan along with their Gnome allies, and the Night Elven armies are mainly defending northern Kalimdor from Horde's deforestation of the Ashenvale. The remaining Draenei forces are still trying to secure their new home on Azuremyst Isle, and are also stationed in Outland. The recently brought in Gilnean armies are defending themselves from the endless onslaught of the Forsaken.
  
  +
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)''
−
==Strengths==
  
−
===Technology===
  
−
{{main|Alliance technology}}
  
−
Technologically speaking, the Alliance is strong, with gnomish and dwarven inventions.
 
   
  +
where:
−
Heavily armored vehicles with massive guns often help take well-defended structures, or even serve to simply destroy an enemy’s morale. The appearance of three or four armored vehicles can often break an enemy’s morale without ever firing a shot. However, they are well armed in case they do need to fire.
 
  +
* 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.
−
All too frequently, war is the primary driver of technological advancements. The Ironforge dwarves spearheaded this trend, developing gunpowder and firearms as a way to achieve an edge against their foes in combat. Flying machines, originally just curiosities or at best scouting tools, are now being outfitted with flak cannons and bombs. Who knows where these advancements will lead? Technology is the system by which an entire society provides for the wants and needs of its population.
 
   
  +
=== Other emblems, badges and tokens ===
−
Thus, the dwarves of Ironforge are said to be more technologically advanced than the tauren of Mulgore, who are themselves far more advanced than, say, kobolds or troggs.<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', 100, 181</ref> The Alliance views technology as an extension of a new way of thinking. Humans view technology as a powerful tool, as gnomes and dwarves invent new weapons, devices, and vehicles of war that the humans can benefit from.
 
  +
{{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.
−
Dwarves and gnomes are the true masters of steam and brass; for them, forge and artifice has always been a way of life. The ability to craft magnificent weapons of destruction appeals to the dwarven sense of war, and firearms have become a respected aspect of their culture. Dwarven riflemen are feared, and their steam tank crews are also given tremendous respect for their skill in guiding their magnificent weapons of war.
 
   
  +
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>
−
It is clear to all of the Alliance races that the battlefields are changing thanks to technology. Firearms are a tremendous equalizer, and a trained sniper can be as deadly to a knight as a dragon’s breath. The machines of war provide protection and weapons that level the field even against the mightiest of monsters. That the Alliance is aware of this bodes well for their future.<ref>''[[More Magic and Mayhem]]'', 164</ref> Also, with the inclusion of the draenei into the Alliance, the advanced technology of the draenei is now available.
  
   
  +
=== Comparison of purchasing power ===
−
===Tactical mastery===
  
  +
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.
−
Strategy in combat is the first step toward winning, and the Alliance uses to its fullest. They take advantage of their typical numerical advantage, to overwhelm opposition with shield and sword. They posses great Arcane spell casters which can be seen taking out many troops single-handedly from behind the front line. They have some great shock infantry with the dwarves and draenei, who prove very resilient on the battlefield. The Alliance is also known for its heavy cavalry where mounted human [[knight]]s and paladins have more than once broken through ranks of Orcs, demons and undead. These mounted warriors have long symbolized the strength of the Alliance armies.
  
   
  +
<!-- This part needs editing! -->
−
Typically they will utilize flanking tactics, night elven and high elven archery, combined with superior technology and maneuvers to turn battles in their favor allowing heavier troops like human knights and dwarven riflemen to finish their enemies off with the blade and shot. The scouts and rogues of organizations within the Alliance such as SI:7 are used to gather intelligence on the enemy forces and can even be used in sabotage tactics behind enemy lines. Their commanders are very smart, studying the art of war from a young age, and are able and adept commanders who will utilize their armies to the fullest, on the battlefield.
  
  +
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:
  +
*{{loot|artifact|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.
   
−
===Holy magic===
 +
== Notes ==

Most Alliance races are well-versed in the ways of the Holy Light, making their paladins and priests formidable opponents. The power of the holy light is also advantageous against the Forsaken as well as other forms of undead due to their extreme weakness against the power with spells such as Exorcism.<ref name="WorldOfWarcraft">[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/paladin/spells.html World Of Warcraft: Paladin Spells]</ref> While the [[Third War]] witnessed the deaths of many paladins at the hands of the Scourge, the arrival of the Draenei on Azeroth provided a new force of Light-wielding warriors for the Alliance.

The Alliance has strong unity between its races since its core members have been allied together since the beginning, excluding the night elves and the draenei. The humans, dwarves, high elves, and gnomes have been allies since the Second War and are often tied together.

The Alliance represents older bonds of brotherhood than the Horde, especially between the Humans, Dwarves, High Elves, and Gnomes. And while the Draenei are new to Azeroth, the other races retain ancient holdings. This stands in stark contrast to the Horde, all of whom, with the exception of the Blood Elves, have undergone significant migrations in the past decade. This gives the Alliance more established infrastructure and generally more territorial control, if not a higher level of dedication — Orgrimmar and Thunder Bluff, and the Forsaken squatting in Lordaeron's sewers and ruins, stand in stark contrast to the strong walls of Stormwind and Ironforge.

Although the Alliance has built an impressive army in the past years, finding strength in its diversity and numbers, weak points still exist that the Alliance’s enemies can take advantage of when fighting. For example, some lackluster commanders exist within the ranks. Though through this they still maintain a very impressive army.<ref name="APG182">''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', 182</ref>

===Pride===
  
−
The Alliance is proud of itself. Their people are sophisticated and learned, and they excel in the intellectual pursuits such as arcane magic and engineering. Even after three bloody wars, they still view themselves as overall smarter than the Horde, and believe that greater brain power wins out over primal force. This is even after they fought alongside the Horde in the Third War and saw how they had changed. They underestimate the Horde, especially the new Horde under Thrall, and could easily be guilty of underestimating their enemies’ abilities.<ref name="APG182"/>

−
===Arcane magic===
  
−
{{main|Alliance magic}}
  
−
Though their powerful command of the arcane is a point of strength in the Alliance’s arsenal, it also shows a weakness. The magi are weak and easy to kill, if an enemy can break through their protections.<ref name="APG182"/> The benefits of these spellslingers in combat are very rich, causing destruction from a distance unchecked by the enemy.
  
−  
−
===Physical strength===
  
−
The front lines of the Alliance’s armies are always in danger against the physically stronger Horde, especially the orcs and tauren.<ref name="APG182"/> Draenei are the strongest Alliance race, and the arrival of the Worgen in [[Cataclysm]] will probably add another brute force to Alliance aswell.
  
−  
−
===Territory===
  
−
Though the Alliance has a vast amount of territory, its distribution is almost one sided, most of the Alliance territory is in the Eastern Kingdoms. The Alliance presence in Kalimdor is weak, confined mainly to Teldrassil, the islands of Azuremyst and Bloodmyst, and Darkshore (the only mainland Alliance territory in Kalimdor). Though they have also made a strong establishment in Dustmallow Marsh on Theramore Isle. It should be noted that there is a rapidly growing revanchist movement among the Alliance ranks, fueled increasingly now that Varian Wrynn has returned to Stormwind; should the Horde attempt to overwhelm any of the vulnerable Alliance holdings, then it would likely spark all out war, and thus this weakness would prove to be a strength.

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]) -

  • [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.

Bc icon This section concerns content related to The Burning Crusade.

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.
