Stockpile your Triumph and Frost emblems

[Toned]

If you don't care about JP's I could see farming up a bunch of triumph badges on all 5 characters and then converting them into conquest for the gold from the patch

i have
+1100 triumph
+4k Stone keeper shards
+250 WG marks

and 100 frost on Each character

So should i save my Emblems and Stone keeper shards?

So save or spend them...

i have 200k gold at this moment so i dont really need gold

By changing them to raw gems and sell them, on my realm this would mean:

- 6k+ from triumph badges
- 3k from stone keeper shards
- 500g from wg marks
- 5k from frosts

if you cut the gems yourself you make 20-30% more, easily
if you use the primordial saronite to craft stuff even more
if you buy orbs with triumph same deal

Or you could downgrade your triumph emblems to buy epic gems, cut and sell them for way more. Been doing that for months, it's the only money maker a multiboxer needs. You don't even have to mindlessly run normal garfrost (LOL@that stupid moneymaking thread) to get tons of gold.

I've pretty much put the hurt on the epic gem market on my server. They still sell, but I'll have to run some numbers and see. I've been dumping all my honor and badges on gems + transmuting gems.

1000 Triumph Badges = 50 Cardinal Rubies x 90g = 4500g (price on my server uncut).
Cut Red/Yellow/Blue go between 95g-125g so let's say 110g each. = 5500g
1000 Triumph Badges = 100 Green/Purple/Orange Gems = Roughly 7000g (uncut).
Cut Green/Orange/Purple go between 75-100g depending on the cut so lets say 85g each = 8500g

1000 Triumph Badges converted to Conquest = 5500g

If you are buying the red/yellow/blue and selling uncut then Conquest is prob the way to go anyways, but if you have a lot of cuts and time to manage your
auctions then cutting and posting is the way to go. Conquest = Guaranteed gold amount where as gems = Theoretical Gold amounts.


TLDR: If you're lazy use conquest badges for free money if you aren't try to milk the remaining tits of the gem market before they hit rock bottom
when cata launches / 4.0.1 hits.

There will no longer be badges of any kind, they are switching over to an entirely point based system (including buying tier pieces)

But the points are just another name for badges, there has always been a differentiation between what each type of badge can buy, OR will it be simply that the raid tier gear will not be avaialable for points until it is no longer the higher gear level and so giving raiders a gear advantage?

[kate]

My guess is that a boss in a Cata heroic will give 10 JPs and raid bosses will give... more than that... and WotLK bosses will give 1 JP. That way there's an incentive to do the new content, but old content is still worth *something* also.

It makes sense, at least - they don't want you saving up all your points to instantly get fully geared when you hit 85, especially since you only killed level 80 bosses to get the points.

So then based on that, the cap they impliment may be just enough to get one piece of the next tier level items. So stockpiling trimph/frost badges might not be that worthwhile.
Current badges may simply be of so much less value vs the time it will take to get the points in the expansion.
Downgrading, as suggested above, to Concquest badges might be the better idea to just acrue some gold.

is the gold conversion rate stated somewhere? you might still be better off selling now rather than waiting for a 10silver per triumph conversion
