Justice Points for Normal Cata Dungeons

#1 - Jan. 24, 2011, 7:15 p.m.

Running Normals is not really worth the time.
If I can go and do LK Heroics and Raids to get Justice points for gear, why bother with Cata Normals at all? The gear drops are nice, but I can get JP gear in short order running REALLY easy content.
Make it worth my TIME and maybe we can get people to do them and learn the fights so Cata heroics aren't such a pain.
Ya, it will take a lot of LK heroics to get the JP for Cata Items, SO WHAT! I can do 3-4 LK heroics in an hour.

We understand that some players think there's too little incentive to run normal dungeons at level 85 -- especially when it comes to Justice Points. While players can earn points by completing the normal random daily, it's not a huge amount, and many of you feel that this is not an adequate reward for the time and effort you invest.

This is feedback we've taken to heart, and in patch 4.0.6 we've made some changes that should hopefully make running normal dungeons at level cap more appealing:

Dungeon bosses from normal Grim Batol, Halls of Origination, and Lost City of the Tol'Vir will grant 30 Justice Points each when killed.

The first random daily normal dungeon quest will reward 140 Justice Points, up from 70 Justice Points.

These changes were just added to the PTR. You can check out other upcoming changes in patch 4.0.6 here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2011384#blog

If I could spend Justice Points on something I'd find useful at all, I'd be a lot more happy about them.

I'm not sure what you consider useful -- this would likely depend on your play style, current gear level, and chosen professions -- but we're adding raw tradeskill items including Embersilk Cloth, Savage Leather, and Hypnotic Dust to Honor Commodities and Justice Commodities vendors in 4.0.6. The items themselves will be notably expensive so as not to undermine the player market, but if you already have all the Honor and JP gear that you need, it should be a nice alternative for spending surplus points.

I know it would be too much to ask for Heavenly Shards (let alone Maelstrom Crystals), but have them sell, at the very least, the lesser essence.

The three items I noted in my post were simply examples. The entire list is much more comprehensive, and I believe that it does include both Heavenly Shards and Greater Celestial Essences (among other materials).

While data can change between PTR builds, you might want to hop on and see what's available. :)
