Honor points come Cata prepatch?

What will happen to honor come the cata prepatch? If i stock up to honor cap (75k?), will it get erased when prepatch launches?

Hopefully we can buy wrathful with it. I’d imagine honor would only be reset on cata release not the prepatch.

Isnt the honor cap changing from 75k to 4k? How will that work, will it be converted by a % ratio?

Ah true. I just logged on my copied priest on beta. He has 29/4000 honor lol.

Oh dang, are you at 75k honor cap on wotlk? And it gave you 29 honor??

Nah I was under 10 k. Hard to say exactly since I’ve copied so many priests and the honor has changed between them on wrath.

Ok I did a fresh copy. On wrath I have 17421 honor. On beta that’s 174. So 1/100th. 75 k honor on wrath = 750 in cata.

Thank you both. Looks like even if we get 75k honor cap, the most we can have when prepatch drops is 1800 points. Probably not enough to get much wrathful but it is what it is.

I would advise that if you have stonekeeper shards that you convert them to wintergrasp commendations. These currently exchange at a rate of 30 shards to 1 commendation.

Come prepatch, those 30 shards only convert to ~48ish? honor. But those commendations can be redeemed for 150 honor in cata.

So you get a better conversion with this exchange that can be redeemed later and is a BOA item that you can send to other characters.
