My recommendation is to get standard gems until you are in your Cataclysmic gear and have no further need for Conquest Points. Related to the reintroduction of gems for sale for Conquest Points, it looks like you can no longer convert Valor Points to Conquest Points.
My guess is that this change is to prevent raiders from being able to purchase PvP gems through grinding Valor Points. For level 85 endgame characters, I would adopt the following general strategy for gearing up for battlegrounds, Rated Battlegrounds, and Arenas:.
A high PvP rating only gets you better PvP weapons, not better armor. Filed under Cynwise's Battlefield Manual. Tagged as Gear. Question; has there been any indication if the honor count to acquiring weapons can be obtained from the conversion from Justice Points?
You had to earn the Honor points while S11 was active. Well, I got as much gear from JP as I can. I agree with you that it would give pvers a leg up in buying pvp gems, but I wonder of its more than that. I bet the same reasoning now applies to valor, in that removal of tier pieces from the valor vendor took away the natural restriction on raiders blowing their valor on pvp.
I like the resulting model where you can get a decent set of gear by converting your excess lower tier currency, but the higher tier gear takes work in that activity.
You need practice to get good, and buying you way to top level gear removed the incentive to get dirty in the trenches and EARN that gear. The only ones I could see really getting a huge benefit out of these pvp gems are flag carriers damn they are going to be tough to kill and perhaps non-caster magic damagers, like frost dks and enhance, that can use to pen gems.
The games are completely different. I love choppin down healers that stand there and keyboard turn. I just bought the ruthless mainhand and shield for my eleshammie — no restrictions applied. Not sure if this is intended or a bug — I saw several threads last night saying that the Honor Points Earned field was counting everything from S10 as well as S Are you sure the text was still in place?
For me EU realm the text was not present on the ruthless weapons. This is also definitely taking into account my S10 Honor Points earned. I have PvPed maybe a half-dozen times on this toon in S10, none during S There is something wrong on your realm.
Open a ticket and post on the forums — I think the blog post announcing S11 has a thread on this very problem. Thanks Pix and Charron! Must have been a hotfix. Hi Cynwise! Any idea where I can find information about the Vicious crafted gear? Like, what professions make them and where to get the recipes?
Thanks for your help! The old crafted gear recipes are automatically converted to the new ones — so if you knew the old recipes you now know the new ones. And I tried the supplies person for patterns where I found some Vicious gear, but not the S10 set I had. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Those models could only be purchased with Conquest S9 or Honor S Thank you for this, as always. One question you might know, is there any way to calculate which slots to upgrade first rather than just vicious to cata?
Depending on how much time you have and how much you like math, I outlined a method for choosing optimal PvP upgrades a few months ago that you might find helpful. What a great guide. Only then is it a wise move to start buying the epic gems for conquest.
Then from there you have 9 gems slots on you pvp gear…if you were to fill each with a conquest gem unlikely, but for the sake of argument it would be another 6, points which is another month or so of grinding. Those gems should have been available for honor. Blizzard is just being retarded. It's a long time to gear up. To be honest these feel like a Conquest Point dump — something to spend points on when you're complete and bored. Even then, you're probably better off getting gems in your primary stats, unless you are very deliberately stacking Resilience.
