Reading the blue post says that conquest points might be converted to honor.

Reading the blue post says that conquest points might be converted to honor.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would get any advantages going into a new season.

[zenga]

As far as I recall the intention with the start of the current season was that:
a) you could take a max of 4k honor with you into the next season (from doing bg's, etc)
b) any conquest point you had left, was converted into extra honor, even if that would put you over the cap

Say you had 3900 honor at the start of the new season, and 4300 conquest points, it would mean that you should receive 7200 honor. And as long as you are above the 4k, you would not gain any extra honor from doing bg's.

They fucked up royally though and converted the conquest points into gold, rectifying this later by giving everyone 4k free honor.

The way I read it for the coming season is that thet step away from this and will converted conquest points that put you above the honor cap into gold, and not into extra honor.

Well, the blue post says that there is a possibility that conquest will convert to honor, and possibly exced the 4 k max cap. And we must not forget about JP this wont be converted to gold, and you'll be able to get 3 k honor by converting it

[Fat Tire]

nvm

so cap out on justice points (i have none), cap out on valor points (have like 5k atm, none for this week) cap out on honor and leave my conquest points (6k atm) ... and if I'm lucky that valor -> jp and conquest -> honor point i could be looking at 17k honor, i like the idea
god-damn, now i need to run dungeons on my main -_-

Blue updated post, note new date:

Arena and Rated Battleground Season 10 is scheduled to end November 29. At that point we will determine who is eligible for the end-of-season rewards, a process that should take approximately one week. It's very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for Arena titles and/or the Ruthless Gladiator’s Twilight Drake to refrain from transferring their characters to another realm or faction until after Season 10 ends. During the break between seasons, all Rated Battleground and Arena matches will be unavailable.

At the end of the season, Conquest Points will be converted to Honor Points, possibly exceeding the 4,000 point Honor cap. All Season 10 items will cost Honor Points (equivalent to their previous Conquest Point cost) when the season ends, with the exception of any items with rating requirements attached. These items will no longer be available for purchase.

Please be aware that higher ilvl PvP items will be introduced and available for Honor points with patch 4.3.

The next Arena and Rated Battleground season will begin for level-85 players approximately one week after the end of Season 10 and will coincide with the awarding of Season 10 titles and mounts. At that time, any Honor accrued above the 4,000-point cap will be converted into gold at a rate of 35 silver per point. In addition, Season 11 rewards will be made available for purchase with Conquest Points awarded during the new season. Matchmaking Ratings will carry over when Season 11 begins, but all Team and Personal Ratings will be wiped.

Changes for Alchemy specializations are coming in the patch. If you're working on bringing up alchemists or like me, swapped specializations on some guys, you'll want to get them done before the patch -
