$1.36 per Badge of Justice, minimum 25.
In Phase 3 badges come from heroic dungeons and nowhere else. This is the single most misreported fact on competitor pages, and it changes what you should buy:
- 1 badge per heroic dungeon boss;
- 2 badges from each of the two rotating heroic dailies by the World's End Tavern in Lower City;
- 5 badges from Stasis Chambers of the Mana-Tombs, heroic only.
Raid bosses award zero badges until Phase 4. Karazhan, Gruul, Magtheridon, Serpentshrine, Tempest Keep, Black Temple and Mount Hyjal give none right now, and neither do Doomwalker or Doom Lord Kazzak. If a page is selling you a raid badge farm today, it is quoting a patch the servers are not running.
There is exactly one vendor: G'eras, Terrace of Light, Shattrath. He sells gear up to item level 128, cloaks to 136, the Inferno-look armour, rings, necks, trinkets — the Icon of the Silver Crescent at 41 badges is the standout — and Primal Nether at 10 badges.
The Isle of Quel'Danas vendors do not exist yet. Smith Hauthaa, Kayri and Shaani are patch 2.4 content. There is no badge-bought epic gem and no item level 141 or 146 badge gear in Phase 3, whatever a rival's list says.
Heroic access is the real bottleneck — every heroic key needs Revered with its faction. If your character does not have them, order the Heroic Dungeon Keys service first, or there is no heroic to run and no badge to earn.
