In preparation for the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch, Blizzard has elaborated on conversions for Justice Points, PvP currency, and more. Players can expect this system to go live after the weekly maintenance next week.
Greetings!As we prepare for the release of the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch next week, we want to update you on some of the currency conversions that will take place during maintenance. Just like the original transition from Wrath of the Lich King to Cataclysm, the currency systems used for purchasing many items in Cataclysm Classic will change.
Justice Points
Emblems of Triumph and Emblems of Frost will be converted into Justice Points, and there will be a cap, as detailed below.
All emblems and badges that are lesser than Frost and Triumph will be converted into gold. This includes legacy badges, such as Badges of Justice. If any of these older currencies are found on your character, they will convert into gold, and you’ll receive that gold via in-game mail.Any bosses that you defeat that are level-appropriate to you (that previously awarded badges or emblems upon defeat) will now award Justice Points.
Similarly, any items that previously cost emblems or badges of any type will now cost Justice Points.We’re planning for these conversions to mirror those of the original Cataclysm. Outdated emblems will convert directly to gold:
- 1 Badge of Justice → 1 gold 83 silver 30 copper
- 1 Emblem of Heroism → 5 gold 50 silver
- 1 Emblem of Valor → 5 gold 50 silver
- 1 Emblem of Conquest → 5 gold 50 silver
- Current emblems (Triumph and Frost) will convert to Justice Points at a rate of 11.58 Justice Points per emblem:
1 Emblem of Triumph → 11.58 Justice Points - 1 Emblem of Frost → 11.58 Justice Points
Please note that Justice Points will only be awarded up to the cap of 4,000 points. Any emblems of Triumph or Frost beyond that will be converted to gold at a rate of 47 silver per emblem.
This differs slightly from Original Cataclysm, during which the conversion was 47 silver + 50 copper per point. There will be no “soft cap” period for Cataclysm Classic.
Arena Points
Season 8 ended last week, and Arena Points were converted to Honor Points at the usual rate (1 Arena Point = 10 Honor Points). Please note:
- Because this was the final season of the Wrath expansion, the prices of Wrath gear will not be discounted in advance of Cataclysm Classic.
- Before the Cataclysm pre-patch, Honor Points may be spent on Wrath gear. Any Wrath Honor Points that are not spent will be converted during the Cataclysm pre-patch maintenance.
PvP Currency Conversions
With the release of patch 4.4.0 on Tuesday, April 30, all Honor Points, any leftover Battleground Marks of Honor, Stone Keeper’s Shards, Venture Coins, and Spirit Shards will be.
