Quick Question about Stone Keeper's Shards

[ejay33]

Has anyone heard if Wintergrasp Commendations will cost less stone keeper's shards in the upcoming patch? I have over 700 shards on each of my toons I want to convert to honor. I thought I heard they were lowering the cost of commendations less than the 30 shards it costs now...or is it just Wintersgrasp Marks of honor cost they are lowering?

You can buy the bind on account stuff to give 10% more xp. I think they are lowering the number of shards. May want to check mmo-champion.com.

From what I remember reading they are adding the ability to buy the commendations with 9 WG marks, I do not remember reading of a reduction in shard costs.

man its only 2k per 30... so that 700 with get you 23 x 2k so 46000ish honor. I'd rather spend it on heirloom items or the mammoth mount. I got 75k honor on my mains just doing WG casually in 2 weeks or so.

[turbonapkin]

The only real value that I can see with these commendations is that they are account bound, which may be very handy in some situations.

Yeah but that honor he gets from 700 shard will only get you one savage piece... pretty pathetic, well unless you arena and use arena pts + honor.

I already bought the heirloom shoulders for my alts. I'm not really into huge mounts. I really can't find much else to buy with the shards. I was just hoping the conversion rate was going down. I guess I can just wait and see to make sure.

Those items say bind on account.. Does that mean you can make a toon on another server and have them to use? Also, you can buy all those gems and stuff with shards so if you plan on pvping the gems and enchants are nice.

heirlooms stay on the server and faction. They are stinking great though! They have NO durability so you never worry about your wep or shoulders being red. That and each level has its fun when you open your character info to see what your new dps is just for dinging. Love em =)

Sorry to bring back an old post but the info is valid. I just hit 200 shards, and was thinking of getting a piece for my 56 feral druid. Which choice makes the best use of the heirloom item. The great staff of Jordan sounds cool, but is it only chest and shoulders that give the +10% exp?
