Do you earn any while going from 80-85?

Wondering if i get all the way to 4000 JP or stop at like 3000.

Is level 85 gear going to be sold for JP or will there be a new currency?

You can buy lev85 gear with JP, not Epic gear tho.

You get some JP from level 80-85 if you do instances.


85 JP gear is in the game, go to Stormwind (the Hunter place) to see it. You can not purchase it until 85 though, also Epics are not available for JP, at least not yet. As new Tiers of Armor come out, they will no doubt allow the last tier to be purchasable by JP.

You'll get JP in heroics like you would triumphs and their predecessors before. You'll get considerably more JP per dungeon than you do now at 80 as well.

Basically, if you're a) bored, b) still like doing all the WOTLK dungeons or c) an insane min-maxer, go for the soft cap, but there's really no reason to worry about it, and it won't give you a considerable leg up (a piece or two of blue prep gear at 85, basically, if beta holds).

Oh then i better spend it on heirlooms if you get is minor, i'll drop by SW to look at the gear. The hunter area?

No, it is not "minor".


This is progression stuff and if you skip it, your Heroics will be much harder to do.

Also, heirlooms are GROTESQUELY overpriced at current JP acquisition rates vs. what they do for levelling 1-80. I think you can get to 60 faster than you can get enough JP to buy two heirlooms as of 4.0.3.
