For those of you who are healers or tanks, you’ll also get near-instant queues, so gearing up will be fast. With Normal and Heroic dungeons, you’ll be able to get some decent starting loot. This is your only farmable source of gear that can be done all day. These items won’t last long, however, but can form a good framework for your character's early gearing. With 9.1 the Crafter’s Mark 3 will move crafted item level up to 200, making it a nice way to gear up a new character as this gear can be found before you hit 60. Later in the Korthia quest line players will be able to upgrade gear to a maximum of 233 item level.Ĭrafting is a fantastic way to get yourself up to a respectable item level before you hit level 60 as you look to move in dungeons and raiding. This gear will also drop from rares and events in Korthia.

Costing 1000 Stygia, this gear can be purchased at friendly reputation and can be sent to your alts. Starting at 200 item level, players will be able to purchase Korthian Armaments that contain a random piece of Korthian gear. In 9.1, the new daily quest hub in the maw, Korthia, will offer players a new gearing path for early catch-up. World Quests item level will also scale as you gain renown, making them especially good for those gearing up alts. While not offering the highest item level loot, World Quests can be good to fill out troublesome slots, especially trinkets and weapons. These short three-to-five minute quests will be found over the four main zones of the Shadowlands and can be completed solo or in a group.



You'll normally get around two or three item World Quests per day, with another selection of Conduit World Quest. This is especially true if you're coming into 9.1 fresh. One of the earliest and easiest ways to get gear in the new patch is via World Quests and Callings (the daily adventure you’ll be sent on). Note: A lot of this advice is aimed at people coming back to 9.1, anyone with heroic/mythic raid gear from 9.0 is probably caught up.
