Emblems to Justice Points Conversion Update

Posted 2010/09/29 at 1:42 PM by ArgentSun

original blog

We’ve revised the Justice Points conversion rate for Emblems of Triumph and Emblems of Frost. When the upcoming 4.0.1 patch goes live, these emblems will be converted into 11.58 Justice Points (up from the previously planned 2.75 Justice Points per emblem). Justice Points accrued above the soft cap of 4,000 will be converted to gold at a rate of 47.5 silver per point (down from 2 gold per point) when patch 4.0.3 goes live.

The original explanation thread (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=26850245012) and the subsequent conversion math update (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=26850245012&sid=1&pageNo=10#184) have been updated to reflect these changes.

I just went and blew my frost emblems on saronite last night, because of a thread I read where they said that 2.75 points was about 1/6 of a heroics boss, and it wouldn't be worth it to save the emblems.

Sigh...well, the triumph badges are still 2.75, right?Comment by ArgentSunWe’ve revised the Justice Points conversion rate for Emblems of Triumph and Emblems of Frost.

* Emblem of Heroism = 5.5 gold each
* Emblem of Valor = 5.5 gold each
* Emblem of Conquest = 5.5 gold each
* Badge of Justice = 1.833 gold each

As long as this stays the same I'm happy.Comment by ScotiaThis isn't right. Emblems of Frost are harder to come by, so they should be worth more.Comment by impulzI kinda feel sorry for the people who farmed the previously required 1455 emblems already. But just a little bit.Comment by 362003It's not a total loss for them, though. 1455 * 11.58 = 16849 justice points when 4.0.1 goes live. They'll have nearly 13000 to spend on gems/saronite/any remaining pieces they might want for offsets or whatever in the couple of weeks before 4.0.3 caps it down to 4000. Or they could just not spend them and collect the gold after the 4.0.3 cap. 12849 * 47.5 silver = 6103g.Comment by 132362This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by BeanalbyCurrently 1 level 251 gloves is 694 Justice points; this means it costs roughly ~63 emblems, about the same cost. The important thing to take away from this is essentially:

We will be able to buy frost emblem gear, at nearly the current rates, with triumph emblems.

This combined with removing Chill of the Throne in 4.0.1, makes me look forward to getting through ICC with some alts.Comment by 582040This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by YannyRamzSame here! I went ahead and leveled something else, have 1 emblem of frost and nothing else.Comment by PachucaYou can farm as many emblems as you want and none of them will go to waste: (source)

For instance, a player has 3000 Emblems of Triumph, and 1200 Emblems of Frost; at the time of conversion they'll be given 4200 Justice Points. The hard cap for Justice Points is 4000, so that player won't be able to earn any more Justice Points until he or she spends enough points to reduce the total to under 4000. This also applies to the new PvP Honor Points, which also have a cap of 4000. Shortly before Cataclysm is released, another patch will enforce the hard cap, marking the second stage of the currency conversion. Any Justice or Honor Points above the hard cap will be converted to gold, and just like in the first stage of the conversion, the player will receive an in-game letter explaining that some of their currencies were converted into gold as well as delivering the gold itself.Comment by 362003So basically if you more than 300+ frost badges you will cap on Justice points and the badges will be lost. But if you have trimpuh you won't cap no matter how many you have and you can buy tier 10?Comment by VaekuThis isn't right. Emblems of Frost are harder to come by, so they should be worth more.Comment by PhaleuxThis is great news for my alt warrior, who still has some T9 gear, but 300+ triumph saved up. Time to get his full T10!Comment by MurrdurrMy warrior, 2 DKs, Shaman, and Hunter are eagerly awaiting for this to go live -_-;;;;Comment by crazyprsnIt's not a total loss for them, though. 1455 * 11.58 = 16849 justice points when 4.0.1 goes live.

Or they could just not spend them and collect the gold after the 4.0.3 cap. 12849 * 47.5 silver = 6103g.Comment by AzrileJust to point out a few things.

1. This makes no change to the current system for frost emblems. They will convert to exactly the same 'buyng power' they had before with regards to Wotlk items. ie... it takes about 95 to buy the chest.. etc.

2. Truimph badges are basically getting converted to frost badges as far as 'buying power' goes. Some people are saying that this is a nerf to frost badges, but it really isn't.. it's a buff to triumph badges.

3. The amount of JP that you will be able to carry through to level 85 will be enough to buy you 2 pieces of level 85 blues (which are the equivelent of 187 blues now). So it is nice, but definitely not a game-changer or something you need to focus on.

4. If you DO decide to max out your 4000 JP now, that means that any JP you earn by doing dungeons while leveling 81-85 will be WASTED. You cannot go above 4000 JP and you won't be able to buy the lvl 85 items early ( in Cata, you can only buy items if you already are the required level, so no buying level 85 items when you ding 81).Comment by 135522QQ MOAR!

By the time 4.0 goes live, 1 Emblem of any kind will get you 4000 points!

Seriously, Blizz needs to stop and think about the fact that 11 million people are listening when they speak. And many of us already dumped our emblems based on what they said. Sure, I know, its pixels.....farm more....QQ less, but if this is a sign of things to come, Im scared of what Cata is going to be like.

And FWIW, Im not QQing at all about the original conversion amount, just that they changed it after announcing it, causing me, and Im sure others, to make a decision based on that announcement.Comment by HyperspacerebelQQ MOAR!
