In Mists of Pandaria Classic, Valor Points are one of the most important PvE currencies you’ll deal with. They unlock some of the best ilvl 489 Epic gear, making them essential if you want to be raid-ready. Knowing how to farm Valor Points efficiently and where to spend them will save you both time and gold.
Just like Justice Points, Valor Points can be obtained by participating in PvE activities, but their primary purpose is to acquire endgame gear. Let's delve into the specifics of how they work in MoP Classic.
What Are Valor Points in MoP Classic?
In MoP Classic, Valor Points are a PvE-focused currency used to buy high-end gear from faction quartermasters and the main Valor vendor. Most of these pieces require Honored or Revered reputation with Pandaria factions such as the Golden Lotus, The Klaxxi, Shado-Pan, and The August Celestials.
This is an account-wide currency with a weekly earning limit, meaning you can’t farm more than that set amount each week.
How to Earn Valor Points in MoP Classic
Valor Points in MoP Classic can come from all PvE activities: dungeons, raids, scenarios, daily quests, and even special events. The key is to focus on activities that give the most results for your time.
| Activity | First Completion Bonus | Repeat Bonus | Notes |
| Random Heroic Dungeon | 200 VP | 100 VP | Fast queue times |
| Random Celestial Dungeon | 240 VP | 120 VP | Higher rewards, great for farming |
| Celestial Dungeon Daily Quest | 150 VP | — | Picked up from Challenger NPCs |
| Raid Boss Kill | 40 VP | — | Weekly lockout |
| Random Scenario | 100 VP | 50 VP | Fast 3-player content |
| Challenge Mode Dungeon | 85 / 70 / 55 VP | — | Depends on medal rank |
| Challenge Mode Daily Quest | 80 VP | — | Extra to medal rewards |
| Pandaria Daily Quests | ~5 VP each | — | Combine with rep farming |
| The Sky Race Event | 15 / 10 / 5 VP | — | Varies by placement |
Valor Points Cap & Conversion
- Week 1: 1,600 VP
- Week 2: 3,200 VP
- Week 3: 4,800 VP
- Week 4: 6,200 VP (+1,600 VP each week after)
Catch-up: Once your main earns 1,000 VP, alts gain +50% VP for that week. At phase end, leftover Valor auto-converts to Justice Points — spend them before reset.
