Puntos de valorExisting Gear Changes

In Patch 5.4, all reputation gear tied to MoP factions (except for Asalto del Shadopan) will cost Puntos de justicia instead of Puntos de valor and the reputation requirements will be lifted--so if you hate grinding reps and are short on VP, just wait a week to buy those items.

Asalto del Shadopan gear will still cost Puntos de valor in 5.4, but heavily discounted, so it's probably best to wait and buy those items when the patch hits. Shoulders are unaffected, as they cost gold.

Item upgrades aren't going away in 5.4--if you're not sure what to do this week, upgrade your best pieces with Valor this week, and buy the cheaper Asalto del Shadopan upgrades next week.

Patch 5.4 also introduces ilvl 496 BoA gear on the Isla Intemporal. While you can't usually control what slot and armor type you'll get a token for, this gear is of a higher item level than the epics which formerly required reputation. Unlike past random-stat items, these epics come with chest, leg, and helm sockets. So hold off on buying some BoEs this week to boost your alt's item level, and send them some Timeless tokens next week.

Once raiding Asedio de Orgrimmar you will get ilvl 528 from LFR, 540 Flex, 553 Normal, 559 Warforged, 566 Heroic, and 572 Heroic Warforged. Blizzard posted a blog on 9/4 covering Siege of Orgrimmar Raid Schedules, and you need ilvl 496 to queue up for LFR Asedio de Orgrimmar. Flex Wing 1 will be available on September 10th, but LFR Wing 1 will be available on September 17th.

Since this blog's focus is about what you can currently do before 5.4, we're not going to dive into new gear too much--we've got more gear blogs planned for launch week, and in the meantime you can check out our blogs on Tier 16 Itemsets, Season 14 PvP gear, Patch 5.4 Trinkets, Siege of Orgrimmar Weapons, and Siege of Orgrimmar Loot tables. We also have all loot details up on Asedio de Orgrimmar boss pages, including Flexible loot.

Puntos de valor will not be converted to Puntos de justicia in Patch 5.4. If you have all Puntos de valor gear already, hold onto it for future upgrades. There will be no new Puntos de valor gear to buy in 5.4.

will be converted to because there's a new arena season starting.

As far as Runa del destino mogu, the bonus rolls will now work on Solio del Trueno pets in 5.4--if you really like pets, it might be worth saving a few for Fluido viviente. since old LFRs are obsoleted when people level past 90 and you can only get that pet in LFR. Runa del destino mogu can also be acquired for 0 Moneda intemporal in 5.4.

If you're done with Solio del Trueno loot and dislike farming Lesser Charms, hold on to them this week since you'll need them in 5.4 for Asedio de Orgrimmar's Sello forjado por la guerra in instead.

It won't be as easy in 5.4 to convert Puntos de justicia into and quickly get a fresh set of epics, since the conversion has been increased from 375 > 250 to 500 > 250. However, as listed above, there are easy ways to now get PvE epics with Puntos de justicia.

Crafting Preparation

As far as crafted gear goes, there will be ilvl 476 PvP recipes players can learn when making Paño celestial, Pellejo magnífico endurecido, or Lingote de trillium equilibrado. These daily transmutes require about the same materials needed to learn the ilvl 458 PvP recipes, so if you're short on materials and still want to learn some new recipes, it's best to wait a week. Players really into collecting recipes should stockpile Madeja de paño de lanaviento, Pellejo magnífico, Barra de trillium, and Barra de hierro fantasma.

These ilvl 476 Crafted Malevolent recipes will also help with boosting item levels and perhaps bypassing some lower-tier LFRs.

If you want to be one of the first to craft and use the new ilvl 553 BoE epics (legs and belts), you'll be interested in crafting several Lingote de trillium equilibrado acelerado, Paño celestial acelerado, and Pellejo magnífico endurecido acelerado a day, which take the raw mats listed above in addition to Espíritu de guerra, found from DEing 5.4 gear.

Many new glyphs are being added in Patch 5.4. The recipes will take some farming to get (world drops or Isla Intemporal drops), but they'll all require Tinta onírica, so stock up on that.

Acero vivo is also worth hanging on to, as it will be used in a variety of Engineering vanity items, like Pierre.

We'll have a full overview of profession changes up at the end of the week, so stay tuned!

Removed Content

Érase una vez en un valle... will be removed from Valle de la Flor Eterna as the zone undergoes some major changes from the Patch 5.4: Siege of Orgrimmar trailer. You will still be able to hit Exalted with the Loto Dorado, complete quests that grant achievements, and farm Alani.

With the patch coming pretty soon, you're probably best off supplementing daily rep gains with Insignia del Loto Dorado robada from Belisario Zandalari, making sure to do Pedido del Loto Dorado II at your farm every day, and selecting Golden Lotus for bonus dungeon and scenario rep. Be sure to pick up Gran mención del Loto Dorado at revered to speed your reputation gains along if you want Érase una vez en un valle....

For a complete look at all the changes in the Vale and a summary of Érase una vez en un valle..., check out our updated 5.4 Golden Lotus Guide.

The weekly quests for Battlefield Barrens, as well as most special vanity items, are being removed in 5.4. You will not be able to get Latent Kor'kron transmog armor or any Darkspear Rebellion vanity gear after the patch, or complete Rompehordas/Revolucionario Lanza Negra and get the resulting title.

You will still be able to get Guantes de boxeo de pellejo de raptor and Roca de invocación de Gahz'rooki by killing Kor'kron mobs in the Barrens. While it's too late to start collecting Mojo radical for a full set of Latent Kor'kron Armor, you can probably farm up items like Zapatos trol auténticos de Griftah with some friends quickly before 5.4.

Zapatos trol auténticos de Griftah may be available at a later point as well, since they're so popular and occupy a unique transmog niche.

To learn more about Battlefield Barrens, check out our detailed event guide.

Season 13 Elite PvP gear and the Tabardo de Gladiador tiránico and Gran capa de Gladiador tiránico are going away. Season 13 Elite gear is particularly unique because it required players to earn a ton of but didn't have a rating requirement. Season 14 Elite gear will be handled differently--in addition to earning a ton of points, you also need a high rating.
