This particular post will be consistently updated, so feel free to email me or post a comment if you've downed a particular boss and received some information.
Update: More info on Iron Council
Update: Iron Council is also optional
And I also forgot to mention, IC is the only place you can start Algalon unlock quest chain, you must do it on any hard mode for a chance of the quest item dropping.
As some people have asked, so shall you receive!
I've compiled the following Conquest badges table from just about everywhere, but its sort of incomplete. Its goal is to give you a guide to roughly the minimum and maximum conquest emblems you're likely to feasibly get each week!
We'll start off with the easy ones.
In ulduar, there are 14 bosses, one of which is Algalon which I shall totally ignore, since the 10 man version has only been killed once, and No One not even ensida has been able to take out the 25 man Algalon yet. I don't see us mortals accomplishing that feat anytime soon! :D
Of the others, there are 9 hard modes.
The bosses without hard modes are Auriaya, Razorscale, Kologarn and Ignis, of which they drop 1 Emblem of Conquest each on Heroic-25 and 1 Emblem of Valor each on Normal-10
25 hard modes:
In general, each boss will drop 1 EoC on normal mode
Flame Leviathan: 1 EoC
1 up = 2 EoC
3 up = 3 EoC (suspected)
the 1 tower up hard mode is probably the easy 2 conquest badges you won't want to lose. If you need a guide, you can check mine for how to deal with flame leviathan here.
XT: 1 EoC
Hard mode: 2 EoC
Iron Council: 1 EoC
Doing hard modes will bump EoC drops to 2
Freya: 1 EoC
3 adds each give 1 EoC for a total of 4 EoC
If your guild is just starting out but have managed to clear this far, this is another boss to take note of. Its a pretty easy 4 EoC for a normal boss fight.
The hard mode is Sartharion-esque and as far as I know does not give any more EoC. If you're hitting sunday or monday and are stuck on the other keepers, just do a +0 Freya for the easy 4 badges.
The other 3 keepers will drop an EoC each, their hard modes are probably the more challenging ones.
Followed by Vezax and Yogg Saron, who also have hard modes, but also drop 1 EoC each. I've not tried their hard modes.
Thus for a normal guild, you'll want to do both Flame Leviathan and Freya for an easy 2+4 Emblems of Conquest.
Following which you'll get an extra
3 EoC: XT, Kolo, IC,
5 EoC: XT, Kolo, IC, Razor(optional), Ignis(optional)
7 EoC: XT, Kolo, IC, Razor(opt), Ignis(opt), Hodir, Thorim
10 EoC: the above + Mimi, Vezax and Yogg
so the range would be about 5 to 13 EoC from hard mode 25s a week.
If your guild has progressed well, it would get 16 EoC + a week.
Then you'll want to do Emalon for the freebie 2 Conquests
You probably won't be able to break 20 EoC a week with just the above however, so you'll probably have to do the Normal-10 modes for more EoC
Its pretty good to do the hard modes since they are the only way you'll see runed orbs and EoC drop in the 10 man versions.
Flame Leviathan 1 Tower Up
You simply must do this one, its the easiest 2 EoC you'll ever see.
Don't waste your Ulduar 10 save without getting this down.
XT hard
Drops 1 EoC I believe, its easier now
IC hard
Never tried it, but should drop at least 1 EoC
Freya Hard
Just do with 1 up, my friend told me there was either a bug or intention, that when you do with 3 up, you'll still only get 1 EoC and 3 EoV.
Thorim, Hodir, Mimi, Vezax, Yogg
Very likely 1 EoC each
With the 10 man modes, you'll probably one to rush out a FL-1up clear before tuesdays to get that 2 EoC out, if you're running with a good team though you'll probably pick up about 5-8 extra EoC for a total range of 7-10 extra EoCs on top of your 25 man ones.
Feel free to correct me wherever I have wrong information or a typo elsewhere.
For those with Alts, if you play it right, you can end up with 6-9 emblems for an undergeared lvl 80 toon. Just do Emalon, FL 10 and 25, as well as buy a slot from any guild/pug that reaches Freya for the 3 Adds.
If you're looking to purchase stuff with EoCs:
18 - Runed Orb
(they'll be the only way to liquidate EoC a few months down the road)
16 - Necks
23 - Waist, Gloves
32 - Legs
58 - Conquest Heads and Chest
Pvp Gear:
46 - Shoulders and Gloves
58 - Chest Legs and Head

Very informative. I have been looking for a list of the number of badge/orbs/rewards for doing hard modes, especially the semi-hard ones. Thanks for compiling as much information as you could.
Yup, while the standard modes have conquest that are very wwell established by now, I'm having trouble compiling the hard mode badges from both the 10 and 25 man versions. I'm glad that the limited information has helped you however!
