Won't you just have to pay half of that back in repairs? I know I use to go broke leveling solely through PvP as a result.

I doubt you have much more than 20g repairs while getting 4000 honor. Most likely less. I don't get that and I'm full vicious geared on both my mage and my druid.

is this the best vendor item per honor point cost in the game? did someone test this or did they just pick a random weapon?


i will probably start doing this soon. its a crappy exchange rate but slightly better than selling the enchanting mats. i pvp for fun and once i get a couple more heirlooms there will be nothing to spend points on.


i miss being able to buy those gems in wotlk to sell for honor. back then i thought the exchange rate on those sucked as well...but its way better than the amount of gold you can get for honor now.

Yep, it's the best honor/gold ratio research has been made.
As I said, it's a good way to get a 100% sure gold income from PvP without having to worry about AH or anything else. I don't pretend it's awesome, but it's decent, and on a time/gold ratio, it's actually better than what you can get in raids (and you can to it at your own rhythm, too).

If something is decently nice for PvPers, you can be sure it'll be removed soon. I expect the sell rate of those old PvP items to be nerfed soon, just like the gems were removed in cata.

Every time I near the honor cap with my lvl 40 paladin I've been trading the points in for justice. But now I'm getting close to the justice point cap too. Thanks for the tip. Now I can make a little gold instead of spending the points on more mounts lol.

You do not take the 10% penalty on death to equipment when PVPing..

However, weapons and Armor still take damage through use...but like Korrigan said..its a trivial amount for repairs when only PVPing.

This really is yet another stupid tip. There are WAAAAAAY faster and better ways to make 600g.

You make more than that in 5 minutes never leaving the AH.

Maybe, but the point is, if you enjoy pvp, then pvp, and still make some money. this isnt a get rich quick scheme, and i dont think anyone ever claimed it would be. if you enjoy sitting at the ah, then do so. if you like flying around mining things, then do so. this is actually one of the better tips, because most people wouldnt think to get money this way, as most things you get through the pvp sell for nothing, or next to nothing.

You can make more money buying Justice Points with the honor points and selling the BOE JP boots.

Still WAY better way to spend 4000 honor and make more than 600g

Its not the point. The point is, its 600g for doing nothing.
