Valor Points

"VP" redirects here. For the instance, see Vortex Pinnacle.

• Valor Points
• Earned for defeating the most recent raid bosses or completing heroic Dungeon Finder runs and used to purchase the most powerful PvE armor and weapons.
• Weekly Maximum: 1000

Valor Points are the upper-level currency awarded for participating in PvE encounters, typically raids and heroic dungeons in the current expansion. The lower-level PvE currency, [Justice Points], is awarded from normal and heroic dungeons, and some older raids. Items sold for Valor Points are available from  Faldren Tillsdale in Stormwind City and  Jamus'Vaz in Orgrimmar.

Players can gain no more than 1000 Valor Points per week total, and no more than 490 per week from pre-4.1 Heroic instances.

Patch 4.3 changes

VP Changes to 4.3 PTR | 2011-11-17 17:00 |  Bashiok

We've made slight adjustments to the Valor Point (VP) drops on the 4.3 PTR which testers can now see. In both 10- and 25-player raids, bosses will now drop 100 VP each (down from 115 and 135 respectively). We’ll also be changing Firelands raid bosses to drop 50 VP per kill upon release of the patch.

This change is being made to further emphasize the desire to kill bosses for the items they drop. In the 4.3 raid, tier sets can only be earned from boss drops, and as Raid Finder will allow for just about anyone to get a chance to kill bosses, we think there will be less need for Valor overall. We want to try to match the lower desire for VP with a slightly slower acquisition rate.

We appreciate your thoughts and constructive discussion on how these changes may affect you and your guild once 4.3 is released.

We're also making changes to Conquest, recently announced, found here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3595670888
