Valor Points

Not to be confused with [Valor].

"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.
• Total Maximum: 3000
• Weekly Maximum: 1000

Valor Points were the upper-level currency awarded for participating in PvE encounters, typically raids and heroic dungeons in the current expansion up until Mists of Pandaria. The lower-level PvE currency, [Justice Points], was awarded from normal and heroic dungeons, and some older raids. Items sold for Valor Points were available from vendors at Commander Oxheart at Niuzao Temple in Townlong Steppes, and in the Bleak Hollow on the Isle of Thunder.
