Valor is an item upgrade currency rewarded for completing Mythic+ dungeons in Shadowlands. Although it existed prior to Shadowlands, it was removed after Warlords of Draenor. It was re-added with the release of Patch 9.0.5.
Items can be upgraded from an item level of 184 (a drop from a base Mythic dungeon) up to item level 220 (if the player meets the requirements). The Valor cost depends on the item.
Items obtained before the release of patch 9.0.5 are ineligible for upgrades, including the items obtained from the Great Vault from that week, although items obtained from the vault one week after the release of the patch are eligible.

| Neck, Cloak, Bracers, Rings, Shield and Offhand | 250

Warlords of Draenor
In Warlords of Draenor, each item could be upgraded twice, by 5 item levels each time, for 250 Valor.

[100] Light Be With You / 
[100] Draenor's Blessing.
The currency was rewarded from completing the following:

- Weekly Bonus Event quests (except for the Pet Battle Bonus Event): 500
- A Raid Finder wing for Highmaul, Blackrock Foundry, or Hellfire Citadel for the first time each week: 150 for HFC, 75 for HM and BRF
