WoW Cataclysm - Justice Points Overview
Justice Points are one of the two PvE currencies in Cataclysm Classic (the other currency is Valor Points). Players can earn Justice Points by completing dungeons in Cataclysm zones and from both dungeon and raid content from WoTLK and Burning Crusade Classic. Out of the two major currencies, Justice Points are lower than Valor Points, but can be used to purchase heirlooms and valuable gear.
Earning Justice Points
Justice Points can be earned by doing content in Cataclysm, WoTLK, and Burning Crusade Classic, with higher amounts coming from the most recent content. This includes:
- Cataclysm Dungeons: Completing dungeons in Cataclysm zones grants Justice Points.
- WoTLK and Burning Crusade Classic Dungeons and Raids: Participating in these activities also rewards players with Justice Points.
Using Justice Points
Players can use Justice Points to purchase a variety of items, including:
- Heirlooms: Chest, shoulder, weapon, and trinket heirlooms (those not available through PvP vendors).
- Lvl 346 Rare Armor and Gear: Available for purchase, offering significant gear upgrades.
- Higher iLvl Epic Gear: Will become available in Phase 3 with the release of Firelands.
You can get Justice Points by completing up to 7 random normal dungeons per week, defeating Heroic dungeon bosses, or completing raids in previous expansions. You collect more Justice Points doing current content.
Maximum Justice Points
Justice Points have a hard cap of 4,000. To earn more after this point, you'll need to spend down your points, or any additional Justice Points you could have earned will be lost. That said, there is no weekly limit to how many Justice Points you can earn. You'll just need to keep track of the cap to make sure you spend some points if you're getting close.
Justice Point Conversion
Players can also acquire Justice Points through currency conversion. There are two ways conversion comes into play:
1. Pre-Patch Conversion: At the start of the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch, all players' remaining Emblem of Triumph and Emblem of Frost currencies were converted into Justice Points. Each unused emblem converted into 11.58 Justice Points, rounded up. This provided players with a starting pool of Justice Points to spend at Justice vendors.
2. Major Content Patch Conversion: When a major content patch (phase) is released in Cataclysm Classic, all unspent Valor Points will convert into Justice Points.
It’s important to note that conversions will never exceed the 4,000-point cap. Before a major patch goes live, ensure you either spend your remaining Valor Points or spend down your Justice Points to make room for the excess.
