Slightly off topic, but are there any changes to upgrading items in terms of cost and/or which currency is used?

Well, the conversion seems nice, but then again, the grinding for JP can get boring pretty quickly.... Blizz should make JPs gain the way it was in Cata. Also, when capping Valor Points We should be able to get JPs instead... I think that's the reason why farming JPs was so easy back in 4.0.I wonder how will you be able to upgrade the old epics that you now will buy with JPs? will they be integrated into the new system and have their upgrade costs turned into JPs? I think that would be the better way to go.Makes me wonder... I have another toon on the way to 90 but I'm not sure if I should hurry and lvl him before next patch hits... or if it would be better to just wait and then do it so he can buy the upgrades with JPs...Because I mean, yeah, PvE-wise would be a better idea to just cap JPs and waith for the patch, but PvP-wise I could reach the HPs requirement to buy Malevolent weapons while leveling, but if the next patch arrives and the next season starts, I would have to start the requirement all over again at 90 with no PvP weapons....Btw, will the prices for HPs to JPs stay the same?Man... decisions, decisions....
Alts can gear up faster? Really? On a personal level, my alts have got more VP's than JP's by some distance. In fact, I wouldn't even know for sure how to get loads of JP's? Spam random hrc dunges? Urgh, I'd rather do dailies, lol. Can't really see why the current VP items can't be bought by both types of currency. That way, ppl can currency grind in whichever way they prefer...:)
It would be awesome change, if for example:
Wow...that's quite a change.
What about heirlooms? Do their costs also decrease?
The JP to HP conversion makes sense I guess, but will the HP to JP conversion rate also change?
Now this will really help me with getting the resto druid onto raiding especially with the virtual realms coming since Azsune is somewhat dead right now and it would be awesome if it got Virtual Realm merged with Draenor where there is alot more Horde and I can get into a raiding guild easier. As a conclusion with the nerf of the currency and the merging with Virtual Realms it will be really interesting to see people getting gear much much easier from like Full Guardian druid and do full resto druid for example while in the same time get into a realm from Sylvanas when you are in Darksorrow.
I honestly think that the conversion is going to suck due to having to do PvP with your legendary quests. So earning JP for the conversion to get gear unless you can make your own is going to really hit some players hard.
Have y'all actually tried to gear up an alt yet? Post 5.2 for me it went like this: Ding 90, run heroics for 3 - 4 hours, run MSV LFR, run HoF LFR, ToES LFR --> Geared enough to do ToT LFR mode. In 2 days after dinging 90.
One question I would really like to have answered is:What can we use Valor for in 5.4?Is it really only Shado-Pan Assualt items, and upgrades to them?Or are they adding more gear in 5.4 purchasable with Valor?And what about upgrades to the old Valor gear that now will cost Justice? Will that be upgradable with Justice or Valor?Cheers.
