Honor Points

Honor Points are the lower-level currency rewarded for participating in PvP encounters in the form of battlegrounds and Honorable Kills. The upper-level PvP currency, gained from rated battlegrounds and arena matches, is awarded in the form of Conquest Points. The cap for Honor Points is 4000.
As of patch 4.0.6, the PvP rewards requiring level 70 and below are quite cheap, and battlegrounds can be an effective means of gearing up, even for players who do not focus on PvP. The level 80 items have been discounted by 25-40%.
Heirloom PvP equipment is among the most powerful PvP gear available from levels 1-80, but it is even more expensive than level 85 introductory gear.
With patch 7.0.3, Honor was functionally removed as a currency but still is provided has the experience for the Prestige level system. With patch 8.0.1, the honor is now just the experience for the Honor level, removing the prestige levels.

==Conversion of previous currencies==
Honor Points are one of two PvP currencies introduced in patch 4.0.1. They replaced old honor points, Arena points, and various other forms of currencies and tokens in use before that point. 
Much like with old PvE currencies (badges of justice and emblems), old PvP currencies (including the pre-4.0.1 Honor points), were immediately converted to the new honor points in patch 4.0.1 at the following ratios:
Old currency 	1x Old currency in Honor Points	1x Honor Point in old currency
Pre-4.0 Honor point 	0.024 	41.667
Pre-4.0 Arena point 	0.85 	1.176
Battleground Mark of Honor	2.976 	0.336
Wintergrasp Mark of Honor 	19.08 	0.052
Stone Keeper's Shard 	1.6 	0.625
Venture Coin 	3 	0.333
The normal cap of honor points is 4,000 (paralleling Justice Points). If players were granted more than 4,000 honor points as a result of this one-time conversion, they were unable to earn any more until the excess had been spent.
In patch 4.0.3, any honor points in excess of 4,000 were immediately converted to gold at a rate of per honor point.
