Honor point

For the pre-Patch 4.0.1 version of Honor points, see Honor point (pre-4.0.1). For the small Alliance outpost in Hellfire Peninsula, see Honor Point (Hellfire Peninsula).

Honor points are one of the two new PvP currencies introduced in Patch 4.0.1. They replace the identically-named, pre-Patch 4.0.1 Honor points, Arena points, and various other forms of currencies and tokens in use before that point. A higher level currency was also added called Conquest points to replace some higher level PvP tokens. However, Honor Points were removed with the release of Patch 7.0.3.^[1]

Conversion of previous currenciesEdit

Much like with old PvE currencies (badges of justice and emblems), old PvP currencies (including the pre-4.0.1 Honor points), will be immediately converted to the new honor points at the following ratios:

Old currency	1x Old currency in Honor points	1x Honor point in old currency
Old Honor point (pre-4.0.1)	0.024	41.667
Pre-4.0 Arena point	0.85	1.176
Battleground Mark of Honor	2.976	0.336
[Wintergrasp Mark of Honor]	19.08	0.052
[Stone Keeper's Shard]	1.6	0.625
[Venture Coin]	3	0.333
[Spirit Shard]	1	1

The normal cap of honor points will be 4,000 (paralleling Justice points). If players are granted more than 4,000 honor points as a result of this one-time conversion, they will be unable to earn any more until the excess has been spent.

Patch changesEdit

Patch 7.0.3 (19-Jul-2016): Removed.
Patch 4.0.3 (15-Nov-2010): Hard cap of 4,000 Honor points enforced. Any honor points in excess of 4,000 will immediately be converted to gold at a rate of 35 Silver per honor point.
/ Patch 4.0.1 (12-Oct-2010): Honor has been adjusted completely. Any activity which yields Honor will now award much less. The Honor cost of items has been reduced to compensate.
