I am actually having a lot of fun this season playing wow the wrong way, going it alone and just doing heroics and LFR, putting on some videos in the background. There is a clear path with weeks of upgrades to get to 460-470 chilling out and playing solo. It might not be the best version of wow gameplay but im really enjoying it right now.
I love how the highlight of the patch is that it's so easy to gear up by yourself. Goes to show how much we actually don't want to deal with other people lol
I think it's less that it's cause we want to never deal with others and more that sometimes we just wanna relax and do stuff ourselves, but since wow has really bad vanity rewards for stuff, power is the only thing reason to do this stuff... outside of completionists. The one thing I think D4 did well was adding emotes as quest rewards just like FF14 has done for ages with good results, even gw2 has started doing it. So I think if wow pot more effort into new dances, funny emotes and toys for players as end rep rewards, it's be much more of a pull when solo than gearing an alt (or your main if you're open world only). Everybody loves a silly dance or emote that others might not have while waiting in front of a boss or are afk in the main hub.
@@PkKakashi I am the same. I am actually very happy about how the gearing system works these days and I hope it will continue going forward. I don't have the energy for raiding and I don't want to commit only to quit for a bit later on. So M+ and crafting are ideal for me. The 24/7 players can do their 99% percentile logs in mythic raiding and get their top gear.
Honestly, my biggest issue is how serious people take the game. You can't join groups cuz everyone expects you to know absolutely everything about the dungeons beforehand. There are so few people that accept someone that is trying to learn.
@@tymeixsell1241 could not tell you the number of times, even as the healer, the damnable tank runs ahead before anyone else can blink. I'm happy to get it over with soon, but give everyone a chance to play buddy. in that same vein, the number of times the tank has gotten themselves killed and caused a total wipe as a result in dummy high.
I think it's awesome when the game wants to give me exactly what I need - the first week one of my warriors got a cloak in all three Emerald Dream weekly bags...
Another gear source right now are the World Bosses from the anniversary event. The gear drops at 441 Ilvl on the veteran track, bosses have a chance of dropping trinkets and the armor can be used in the catalyst for season 3 tier sets.
Im normally a classic player but i've done my first Mythic +17 today on my evoker and working on gearing up my feral druid. It's a lot of fun. That said the crafting stuff is a bit confusing but this cleared it up a bit and definitely makes me think that crafted gear is the best way to gain some easy ilvl. Even +5's people don't want to invite lower ilvl people even though it isn't necessarily difficult.
It’s funny because whenever I make an alt, my general rule of thumb between 1-14 levels is that pretty much everyone is going to suck in this range. I don’t really start getting picky until 18s, and I won’t start caring about IO until I start actually pushing past 20.
@@Mduffy-yo6rbthis season in particular this doesn't mean much because m+ up to 20 is easy and there Is plenty of 3k Io people playing badly, so going pug Is like a russian roulette. This Is coming from someone that completed all dungs +20 because i wanted the portals lol
I went through the new dungeon on heroic difficulty with a guild group. Really easy and I got around 300 per 1 run. Don't que for it, actually go to the dungeon.
I remember...In Burning Crusade *stares off into the distance as a flashback ensues* The easiest way to get epic gear (without group/raid content) was to farm over 100 battleground victories. Victories. You had to win the BG in order to get the token. Then you'd spend 10-30 tokens on a single piece of gear that was equivalent to about Tier 4 at the time. You could only get the major pieces. Arms, legs, chest, boots, helm and weapons. And the pieces were PVP gear; meaning they sacrificed one major stat for the Resilience stat. People referred to this as "welfare epics." because of how "easy" they were to get. I wonder what those old snobs would say about the loot system now lol.
@@denisquant You'll have to sim yourself for the exact numbers but the our set this tier is VERY strong. 2 piece T31 is when you change from Raging Blow to Bloodthirst build.
As a very casual player with not a lot of free time, I got the lvl 70 boost (with ILVL 424 gear) from Blizz and have been wondering as a solo PVE player, how to upgrade so thank you 476 times.
@@DylanWeston_ We're in the 19th wow anniversary event until Dec. 3 (i think). There are three fixed bosses and a different dragon to fight each day, with a separate reset for each character. There are also quests to pick up in the cavern of time.
All of them are really easy to obtain but whats make it hard is, there are so many ways to watch. At least for a while. Once you leave the superbloom, rift and dreamsurge zone its a fresh air.
So, it seems like the coins of merit to worm crests seems like the way to go, whenever my gear actually gets high enough to need them. :D thank you for the great video, I had to watch it three times to make sure I caught everything
get in a seed farm group and use blossoms (and seeds if you have them) - you can get a few hundred flightstones and ~20-30 Drake crests in 20-30 minutes depending on if your group is doubling up on planted seeds at the same time or not
Dungeons, quests, seeds, superbloom, disturbed dirt piles, expedition packs, just to name a few. There are lots of options, some more lucrative than others. It depends on how much time and motivation you have and what type of content you like doing. Also, being selective about what pieces you spend them on can save you a lot of stones in the long run. Lots of pieces come already partially upgraded anyway. Also, when you upgrade a piece in a slot, that upgrade will be cheaper for an alt upgrading the same slot.
Thanks for this! I have just started playing again over this weekend after a few months away. I just did all the Dream quests and unlocked normal flying in the Isles now! But after a few months away, my gear is quite far behind, around i425! It was awesome at the time I stopped, now not so much. LOL!
This is the best time to play WoW since legion. You have to many different ways to progress playing the content you want, play with your friends regardless of server and faction barriers. Incredibly easy to level alts.
Gearing is improving and yet is incredibly and unnecessarily convoluted. Time to simplify, Blizzard. KISS rule needs to be written everywhere for everyone on Blizz campus. Listening to all of this is like listening to someone describing how they built their Rube Goldberg machine.
Those green balls gives you 2 crests when you fly through them. If you get more this might be a bug that they tick more than 1 time. This is rare though.
The three weekly quests for higher ilvl gear. All rewarded me with the same gloves... which were the same ilvl as the reputation gloves. None of the world boss or event bosses dropped anything for me. This week sucked ass for the mage my guild asked me to gear up to fill a raid slot. And I've ran 22 mythic+ dungeons and only gotten a single item to drop. I've lost my raid slot for next week due to not raising my ilvl in time. And I've officially wasted a whole week trying to gear a new max level toon. It feel bad.
right? i recently came back and capped 3 characters they all had atleast 2 necks and 3-4 cloak each in the 3 weeks i done the emerald dream weekly stuff
Bruh, as someone who just came back after stopping DF last November, this video is still overwhelming. What I heard was, crest, crest, then this crest, to get that crest, then get this crest over here, craft that one then this one, then crest over here to craft over there. Im like wtf?!?!??? LOL. All Ive done so far is finish the Emerald Dream campaign, then I completed my first heroic dungeon. And this video just gave me 50 more things to do. Im overwhelmed and didnt understand what half the stuff meant.
As someone who was wondering if I should come back, this video made it abundantly clear that I shouldn't. What a convoluted mess this expansion is for anyone that hasn't been keeping up with it for every single patch. Holy crap... Thanks or the video though. It was a good one 👍
I think when you got 42 it had been messing up and respawning the same orb so there were 21 copies in the same exact spot. It was happening before and each would register as a single pickup so the chat box would explode. In 10.2 it seems to show the crests combined.
good Trinkets are especially tough to obtain, and you need them to be high ilvl so you can unlock the currency exchange to turn weaker crests into stronger ones.
I think what blizzard thought was the problem was “not enough avenues to get gear” but in reality its more “in all avenues of getting gear u chances of getting a slot you need is random as fuck”
I'll tell you exactly what is missing, when you get to convert a piece from the catalyst to tier piece and then you go do an M+ and you get the exact slot item in the end of it which is the same ilvl BUT in the next upgrade tier, so if you want to convert that item to a tier gear through the catalyst you have to wait another week AND if you aren't lucky enough to get enough tier pieces so you can use their bonuses, again you are stuck 1 week behind. This literally happened to me today. This shouldn't happened in this very specific case only(when the ilvl is the same i mean), you should be able to upgrade the new item to tier set with no charge, only in this case. I guess Blizzard hasn't thought of this one.
I know i am late but, just don't waste catalyst charges if you have a chance to obtain higher upgrade track items? Not trying to sound silly, it's a mistake i've made a couple times so i learned from that
green orbs are slightly bugged in valdrakken, sometimes there are multiple spawns in side each other, once i flew through an orb and got like 12 crests with 30 dreamsurge currency
If i make a trade order for a weapon with 2 sparks and all materials level 3 it still shows a bronze star on the weapon icon "quality" how do i increase that ?, also can i later on upgrade that weapon if i dont have the wyrm crests jet ( with no additional cost in materials or sparks) ?.
One thing that seems missing for solo and open world players is the availability of Champion-track gear. In Season 2, we could get Champion gear from the weekly Heroic dungeon quest and from Researchers Under Fire when the season first launched. The Weekly Vault dungeon row (which was intended to be a replacement) only awards Veteran-track gear for Heroic dungeons. Hopefully 10.2.5 or later patches will introduce Champion gear so that crafted gear won't be our only option for iLvl 476.
if heroic dungeons gave champion track gear it would eliminate other content. No need for lfr or even normal raiding if the easiest queued content in the game gave champion gear.
@@biggie9041 We don’t need more than one or two mounts… but people like to have more. That’s just how people are built. Now sure, gear has a bit more impact, but how many people with high item level gear say “Man, I really don’t need all this high level gear for this content… I better take some off” when they enter world content? The same reason that they don’t downgrade their gear for the content is the same reason that people doing the world content regularly would like to have it… because it feels good to wreck things.
@@biggie9041 Nothing is really set in stone saying it has to be that way though. Almost any approach can work, as long as you pay attention to how major player groups operate and don’t screw one in catering to the other. Regardless, it takes a significant time investment to upgrade gear without the harder content, so it’s hardly “a handout”. On that topic, what is “hard” can be subjective… there are plenty of people who just raid log (or key log), doing the absolute minimum that allows them more raid/key logging. Give a lot of these people a 3 month open world quest grind and they will come apart at the seams… it is literally too hard for them to do, despite requiring nothing more than patience.
The item will retain it's ilvl and tertiary stats (like Indestructible or +speed, for example) when it's upgraded in the Catalyst, so strictly speaking there's no difference between upgrading it before or after converting it. The only reason to upgrade after converting is if you want to unlock more recolours for transmog. If you have a piece of 441 gear, upgrade it to 453+ and then convert it, it will unlock the Normal raid colour. But if you convert it at 441, it will unlock the LFR colour, and then unlock the Normal colour after you upgrade it to 453+.
the 'Super easy 447 crafted gear' can only be made by yourself and not anyone else? I cant find these at the work order place :| And I dont wanna level a profession.
It's the basic "blue" crafted gear that can be upgraded to 447 using the nascent welpling crest. Don't search for the epic ones you get from the specializations because they require sparks.
I loved Dragon flight season 1. Got Bis gear and max IO for item upgrades. I had 0 idea that the season updates raise Item level, devalue my gear, and change BIS. All my work was useless and I can’t get into any groups now. I thought gear is good the entire expansion. Seems like a complete waste of time for me to do all that again.
I keep getting duplicates for the weeklies. I really enjoy the new zone and content, but it's pretty discouraging to open up that loot chest and see the same thing drop multiple times. And the weekly cycle doesn't seem to matter. I quit doing the 5 heroic dungeon weekly because on 5 different characters I was getting the same pieces of gear week after week, which is only worth between 50-150 gold or an enchanting mat. It's not enough by itself to stop me from playing, but it sure makes a huge tick in the dissatisfied column and it wouldn't take much more to make someone set WoW aside in favor of another MMO, some of which are F2P. That and there seems to be a lot of broken systems in the content from Dragonflight in general. Before, I only opened 2 or 3 tickets my entire time playing WoW from the start of BC, now I'm on my 3rd in as many months. From broken digs in Zaralek Cavern that won't let you finish or cancel the dig to timerift tokens awarding 0 loot. It was the one for the mount that I had grinded rep for that almost made me quit. That and every ticket getting passed off to 'submit a bug report', which essentially means you're just out of luck and have nothing you can further do about it, other than reluctantly click the 'resolved' button so you can stop the ticket banner from obscuring your buffs. Kelani does cover the best current sources of gear and latest content and this is my go-to channel for WoW.
lfr and dungeons are not for people who solo, so I don't know why it is in this video, which says No group content. Other than that, nice video,..again
take a shot everytime Kelani says the word "crest". I like the new system, allows for easy gearing of alts and returning players (like myself) but they still need to work in making it more visible and understandable to the player. The fact that everything is named "crest" and the icons are very similar between the different levels doesn't help. Alas, a minor gripe, but still a huge improvement to the game all in all. Thanks for the video.
It's not as simple as three pieces of gear a week from the annual dream stuff as it's completely RNG I think my bad luck record was seven weeks in a row getting items I already had, Them for the world boss and the dream I believed my bad luck record there is four times the same item and six times where no item dropped at all, As for crafting you can only craft your 475 And you can only wear two at a time Otherwise very good video and pretty accurate
i find it interesting the difference between a 'group' player and a 'solo' player, for a group player 476 is a joke aka, i would never catalyst a champion gear or use crest for upgrades, for a 'solo' player that cba with toxicity and competition 476 is more than enough, i really hope blizzard keep this system in the future, its just great for all parties
Since you can't use this plan for tier gear you have to rely on RNG to get Champion gear from the two, almost impossibly rare drops from Timewalking and Aurostar and even rarer Champion trinket drops.. I estimate I might make it in 8 or 9 more months based on the drop rates so far. Oh, wait, we'll be in a new gear ladder or two. Sigh...
Always enjoy your content, but the title feels a little click baity when you have "ALL BY YOURSELF - No Group Content Needed!" then have a good portion of the video be about LFR and Group Finder dungeons. For me personally, a big part of solo play is being able to hop on for a few minutes here and there (as real life allows). All that said, I'll just follow the first part of the video to get what I can get! Thanks for the content!
@@alanwelch9216 Correct, you don't need a spark since its the basic "blue" crafting gear that you are upgrading with the whelpling crests enchant item.
My hunter is getting up there LFR raids got me 2 set pieces so far which is nice and world boss gave me something too. Just gotta keep hacking away. Got the dragon tamer book so thats neat but I wish I had more of a selection than butterfly geckos, at least more colors like the black and blue one.

Seriously, Gods bless Kelani. I think we take for granted how much work these videos must take and they're so helpful!
My biggest turnoff about wow the most recent 3 expansions, is how fn convoluted all this crap is.
This expansion is by far the most optional expansion ever. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want...
I agree I came back to the game recently. What annoys me I have to fly to like a whole different land to buy pvp gear.
100% gets me drunk with so much info, so much to do and farm.
With any luck, Delves will be giving a lot more options for the solo players to get good gear without needing to do group content.
I did notice that it does seem a lot easier to solo-gear up this season. Really hope they stick to this for future expansions

good Trinkets are especially tough to obtain, and you need them to be high ilvl so you can unlock the currency exchange to turn weaker crests into stronger ones.
So how do you get the renascent dream things without doing last boss normal and hc last boss ?
I think what blizzard thought was the problem was “not enough avenues to get gear” but in reality its more “in all avenues of getting gear u chances of getting a slot you need is random as fuck”
Also, you can kill Doomwalker during the anniversary event (think it ends on Dec 7th) once a day at a chance for an ilvl 441 piece of Veteran gear.
I'll tell you exactly what is missing, when you get to convert a piece from the catalyst to tier piece and then you go do an M+ and you get the exact slot item in the end of it which is the same ilvl BUT in the next upgrade tier, so if you want to convert that item to a tier gear through the catalyst you have to wait another week AND if you aren't lucky enough to get enough tier pieces so you can use their bonuses, again you are stuck 1 week behind.
This literally happened to me today.
This shouldn't happened in this very specific case only(when the ilvl is the same i mean), you should be able to upgrade the new item to tier set with no charge, only in this case.
I guess Blizzard hasn't thought of this one.
I know i am late but, just don't waste catalyst charges if you have a chance to obtain higher upgrade track items? Not trying to sound silly, it's a mistake i've made a couple times so i learned from that
green orbs are slightly bugged in valdrakken, sometimes there are multiple spawns in side each other, once i flew through an orb and got like 12 crests with 30 dreamsurge currency
Am I missing something? I don't get any crests from flying through the green coalescence.
The gear's easy to get, getting flightstones to upgrade is the hard part :')
What? Lol no.
Flightstones are guaranteed from all the farming methods. It's hard to stop them from capping out.
Gear is limited and RNG.
tell me you dont play the game without telling me that you dont play the game. lol
What are they used for I’m new
upgrading gear, gear now comes with upgrade levels and you need both Crests and Flightstones to upgrade them.@@NuhgGhkkfsghgyu
I'm getting 434 gear when I put the enchanted whelpling's dreaming crest in the work order...
Is it possible for you to a list of things to do as returning WoW players?
At this point Kelani is playing the game for me :P
Bro at this Point i just have to study wow, to Unterstand the Basics
As a filthy casual I really appreciate this content. Thank you
If i make a trade order for a weapon with 2 sparks and all materials level 3 it still shows a bronze star on the weapon icon "quality" how do i increase that ?, also can i later on upgrade that weapon if i dont have the wyrm crests jet ( with no additional cost in materials or sparks) ?.
what addon is that, that adds a circle to your mouse pointer??? pliz i need to know
I think it's called CursorTrail. That is the one that I am using.
Thank you so much for showing this. I hate raiding and mythics. I play solo all the time and I am not in guild.
One thing that seems missing for solo and open world players is the availability of Champion-track gear. In Season 2, we could get Champion gear from the weekly Heroic dungeon quest and from Researchers Under Fire when the season first launched. The Weekly Vault dungeon row (which was intended to be a replacement) only awards Veteran-track gear for Heroic dungeons. Hopefully 10.2.5 or later patches will introduce Champion gear so that crafted gear won't be our only option for iLvl 476.
to be fair if you don't raid or do mythic+ or anything why would you need the gear at all
if heroic dungeons gave champion track gear it would eliminate other content. No need for lfr or even normal raiding if the easiest queued content in the game gave champion gear.
@@biggie9041 We don’t need more than one or two mounts… but people like to have more. That’s just how people are built.
Now sure, gear has a bit more impact, but how many people with high item level gear say “Man, I really don’t need all this high level gear for this content… I better take some off” when they enter world content?
The same reason that they don’t downgrade their gear for the content is the same reason that people doing the world content regularly would like to have it… because it feels good to wreck things.
I feel thats the point of an MMO, you do harder content and get better gear to wreck things, not get given a handout.@@Eyrrll
@@biggie9041 Nothing is really set in stone saying it has to be that way though. Almost any approach can work, as long as you pay attention to how major player groups operate and don’t screw one in catering to the other. Regardless, it takes a significant time investment to upgrade gear without the harder content, so it’s hardly “a handout”.
On that topic, what is “hard” can be subjective… there are plenty of people who just raid log (or key log), doing the absolute minimum that allows them more raid/key logging. Give a lot of these people a 3 month open world quest grind and they will come apart at the seams… it is literally too hard for them to do, despite requiring nothing more than patience.
Question....does it matter if you max out an item before using the catalyst? Or, best to convert the item then use the currency on it to max it out?
The item will retain it's ilvl and tertiary stats (like Indestructible or +speed, for example) when it's upgraded in the Catalyst, so strictly speaking there's no difference between upgrading it before or after converting it. The only reason to upgrade after converting is if you want to unlock more recolours for transmog. If you have a piece of 441 gear, upgrade it to 453+ and then convert it, it will unlock the Normal raid colour. But if you convert it at 441, it will unlock the LFR colour, and then unlock the Normal colour after you upgrade it to 453+.
Thank you!@@suitablyRandom
Killed Aurostor on 8 chars, and got 1 piece of loot.
the 'Super easy 447 crafted gear' can only be made by yourself and not anyone else? I cant find these at the work order place :|
And I dont wanna level a profession.
It's the basic "blue" crafted gear that can be upgraded to 447 using the nascent welpling crest. Don't search for the epic ones you get from the specializations because they require sparks.
I think it was a bug that you got more than 2 crests in the Dreamsurge zone. I consistently get 2.
Dunno about the world bosses. Across 9 characters and 2 weeks, I've only gotten 1 piece of loot from the petrified carebear
Dont know anything about a good lootchance on the new WorldBoss. Killed him 6 times, no item xDD
I didn't think heroic dungeons or timewalking would effect the vault until the next expansion?
Heroic definitely works, I used it last week and am filling it this week too.
That's great to know, thank you.@@Gnarledoak
1:41 but not if you only get weapons and boots -.-
The dream area there is a quest to hand in a splinter for exchange a spark.
I loved Dragon flight season 1. Got Bis gear and max IO for item upgrades. I had 0 idea that the season updates raise Item level, devalue my gear, and change BIS. All my work was useless and I can’t get into any groups now. I thought gear is good the entire expansion. Seems like a complete waste of time for me to do all that again.
I keep getting duplicates for the weeklies. I really enjoy the new zone and content, but it's pretty discouraging to open up that loot chest and see the same thing drop multiple times. And the weekly cycle doesn't seem to matter. I quit doing the 5 heroic dungeon weekly because on 5 different characters I was getting the same pieces of gear week after week, which is only worth between 50-150 gold or an enchanting mat. It's not enough by itself to stop me from playing, but it sure makes a huge tick in the dissatisfied column and it wouldn't take much more to make someone set WoW aside in favor of another MMO, some of which are F2P. That and there seems to be a lot of broken systems in the content from Dragonflight in general. Before, I only opened 2 or 3 tickets my entire time playing WoW from the start of BC, now I'm on my 3rd in as many months. From broken digs in Zaralek Cavern that won't let you finish or cancel the dig to timerift tokens awarding 0 loot. It was the one for the mount that I had grinded rep for that almost made me quit. That and every ticket getting passed off to 'submit a bug report', which essentially means you're just out of luck and have nothing you can further do about it, other than reluctantly click the 'resolved' button so you can stop the ticket banner from obscuring your buffs. Kelani does cover the best current sources of gear and latest content and this is my go-to channel for WoW.
lol same I got same cloak on all my alts but 8 weeks later same cloaks dropping when I get a weapon that’s actually a upgrade
lfr and dungeons are not for people who solo, so I don't know why it is in this video, which says No group content. Other than that, nice video,..again
Bro I love you I’ve been thinking is hard to great up… cus I was doing nothing but mythics and ppl don’t invite cus level!
Thank you for this. I left after the firsr month of shadowlands and will hit 70 today. Things are so confusing.
take a shot everytime Kelani says the word "crest".
I like the new system, allows for easy gearing of alts and returning players (like myself) but they still need to work in making it more visible and understandable to the player. The fact that everything is named "crest" and the icons are very similar between the different levels doesn't help. Alas, a minor gripe, but still a huge improvement to the game all in all. Thanks for the video.
Mythic+ dungeons are still a problem. Granted the people that run them have a lot to do with it.
This is helpful but also time consuming. But so are mmos in general so I suppose it's to be expected. Thank you though for the info!
It's not as simple as three pieces of gear a week from the annual dream stuff as it's completely RNG I think my bad luck record was seven weeks in a row getting items I already had, Them for the world boss and the dream I believed my bad luck record there is four times the same item and six times where no item dropped at all, As for crafting you can only craft your 475 And you can only wear two at a time Otherwise very good video and pretty accurate
Thanks for your informative video,sadly I don’t have the time to gear up with full time job and all the family commitments 😢
so we can't actually get 476 by ourselves or solo. The best we can do is 463 solo or by yourself.
Thanks Kel!
i find it interesting the difference between a 'group' player and a 'solo' player, for a group player 476 is a joke aka, i would never catalyst a champion gear or use crest for upgrades, for a 'solo' player that cba with toxicity and competition 476 is more than enough, i really hope blizzard keep this system in the future, its just great for all parties
Since you can't use this plan for tier gear you have to rely on RNG to get Champion gear from the two, almost impossibly rare drops from Timewalking and Aurostar and even rarer Champion trinket drops.. I estimate I might make it in 8 or 9 more months based on the drop rates so far. Oh, wait, we'll be in a new gear ladder or two.
Sigh...
Great content, thank you!
Always enjoy your content, but the title feels a little click baity when you have "ALL BY YOURSELF - No Group Content Needed!" then have a good portion of the video be about LFR and Group Finder dungeons. For me personally, a big part of solo play is being able to hop on for a few minutes here and there (as real life allows). All that said, I'll just follow the first part of the video to get what I can get! Thanks for the content!
Nah, my LFR loot roll luck is ABYSMAL!! I rolled a 2 and a fucking 4 last night, I wanted to scream 😭😭😭
Feels good especially when who gets the item dies in the middle of the fight...
Had no idea whelp crafting gear didn't need a spark tyty
nonsense, that's not what he meant.
@@UltimateGamerCC 7:53 what does he mean then?
@@alanwelch9216 Correct, you don't need a spark since its the basic "blue" crafting gear that you are upgrading with the whelpling crests enchant item.
My hunter is getting up there LFR raids got me 2 set pieces so far which is nice and world boss gave me something too. Just gotta keep hacking away. Got the dragon tamer book so thats neat but I wish I had more of a selection than butterfly geckos, at least more colors like the black and blue one.
Only sucks when you get all three pieces as back cloak
Id like to see a heroic LFR option
I can’t even get into heroic pre-made because every idiot gatekeeps and requires you to be “curved”, it’s pathetic
Most of these "tips" are so heavily time gated that you'll be ''476 ALL BY YOURSELF" around the release date of the next expansion.
I always thought “unique equipped” meant you could only have one of those things
Thank you 🔥🔥
Thanks great work
