In MoP Classic, we just turned on the Justice → Honor and Honor → Justice conversion exchange. This exchange is available via the original Cataclysm vendors in Stormwind and Orgrimmar, at the conversion rate of 375 Honor for 250 Justice or vice versa.

PvP Honor Vendors were previously encountering issues appearing on specific layers and in all regions in MoP Classic. They should now function correctly and allow players to spend their Honor on the updated items they now sell. Thank you, as always, for your reports on this issue.
July 24, 2025 at 6:12 PM
In original Mists of Pandaria, PvP gear wasn't added to the Honor Vendors until Arena Season 12 started. In MoP Classic, we’ve added PvP gear, including Dreadful Gladiator weapons, to these vendors early, so you can use Honor to buy PvP gear ahead of next week's Arena Season. This is all now live!

We're seeing progression bottlenecks around the Horde quests "They're So Thorny!" and "Forensic Science" in MoP Classic, so we've significantly increased the related mob respawn rates and item drop rates. These quests should be much easier to complete now. Thank you for your feedback on this!
