10.1 Gearing Guide: EASY To Understand!

[@S3Ri0usOG]

Don't forget to do your weekly +20 for a 447 vault, not that people will invite you but just saying, don't forget it.

[@amokrace]

thank you for reminding. let me just log in and do that. ez 447.

[@Rooachie]

Jokes on you ill just tank

[@wow-tq1pm]

I'll just solo tank the mythic 20 key with my pet 😭

[@MarcelianOnline]

Everyone can just play to the level they can or want. If you join a guild, you may find it easier to get a group for higher keys!

I love how you guys have kept the passion even when things were imploding a bit. Keep it up!

[@Accuratetranslationservices]

I actually love the new gear system. Gives a reason to actually go do lower content-even just outdoor content. I missed that. 10.0 i just sat in valdrakken and queued for raid or m+… there is actually a reason to go do things now. I hope they keep this around.

[@jakehardy5997]

i think that's why i got burnt out of last patch. just queue for raid and m+ and that's it, no real world interaction which kind of sucked

[@fewew7898]

Flying from star to star on a map in a single cave is hardly what I would call doing "outdoor content" lol

[@Accuratetranslationservices]

@@fewew7898 Quests, the assault, the World Bosses?? The reputation quests? There's a lot to do besides rares. Btw, why are people killing the rares? You don't get any rep from them.

i liked it when we had 3 total ilvl brackets per patch. dungeon, normal and heroic raid, get your gear and focus on other things

[@MarcelianOnline]

Ah, the simpler times ❤️

[@nolabets3130]

Nah this system is actually so player friendly, I made a 437 bow today from the heroic dungeon weekly quest

[@sparta1821]

[@jani14jani]

Guys, I had this video on background so i didn't catch everything Marcelian said. Did he at any point talk of how the creation catalyst works this season?

[@MarcelianOnline]

It works the same as it did in season 1 pretty much

[@random-pd7gf]

Thanks, this has to be Blizzard's best attempt at a good gear progression system. let's see how the season goes

[@MarcelianOnline]

Indeed!

[@richT4321]

So what im hearing is as a mainly m+ player come back in 6 weeks. got it

[@Tzavelas]

Great video Thank you. Very helpful. All though that is another way for Blizzard to have you grind non stop. And the result will be awesome indeed until.....next expansion . Which they will be replaced by...greens...lol. They have to come up with a better way to upgrade armor and weapons, maybe they can allow you to keep them and use crystals of some kind to upgrade them and keep them..!!

[@lexsmith1285]

i was a ksh havoc dh last season this season i cant even get into a pug group for mythic plus lol

[@Joromonni]

easy to understand, 20 minute video. Thanks Blizzard.

[@MarcelianOnline]

😆

[@Max-dv1kq]

you couldve mentioned the reduction youll get by upgrading one trinket of lets say champion level you can upgrade your second champion trinket with less ressources required

[@blondiwithstyle]

Having m+ gear be 447 and mythic raiding gear be 457 just yet again forces m+ to raid if they want to compete in m+, which is a totally dead and wrongful concept to still hold onto.

[@blondiwithstyle]

@@refluent913 With that reasoning I'm guessing that you buy the candy that is most convenient for you to buy, instead of getting the tastiest candy.

[@blondiwithstyle]

@Reulorics Just what do you lose about a system that makes raid gear better in raids and mythic+ gear better in mythic+? Your feelings? They have implemented such a system in pvp for years. By now, there is no real reason to not have separate mythic+ gear and raid gear as well.

[@RanniWolf]

Great video! My only question is: where do I go to upgrade the gear with the currency?

[@MarcelianOnline]

Any upgrade vendor. There is one in Loam, one in valdrakken where the target dummies are, several in shadowlands areas ( class halls, oribos etc)

[@nishedasamaranayake8818]

As a returning player , Im still 64. But is there any advnice on the fastest route to gear up for raids?

[@rasmus1610]

what addon do you use to see the "to craft price" and the profit?

[@R45KAL]

Hi!!!!! How have you gotten your “holy power” indicator on your current target!? I can figure it out 1:51 as seen on this time stamp

[@R45KAL]

Anyone?

[@ICEfadez]

I’m new and I still play in a new player server with a multiple lvl 60 should I transfer or should I stay in that server bc I heard the count as dead servers

[@robertkubacki3851]

When do you scrap old tier?

[@MarcelianOnline]

When you have enough pieces of the new set to outperform the old one. Some classes want 4 set before they wear it.

[@martonjanos835]

Do 20 lvl key when you wipe in 10+ key😅

[@dyyylllaannn]

Do you have a recommendation for a fresh 70 on a fresh account for someone who is brand new to retail? I'm about to finish the campaign to Valdrakken. Should I continue the quest campaign into the new zone? Or grind dungeons to gear up? Or world bosses?

[@Max-dv1kq]

best is to follow the main campaign as youll eventually reach the new zone and get a full set of new, upgradable gear(upgradeable to 398)within the campaigns quest chain; grab gear from worldquests and do the (weekly) world boss in zaralek caverns aswell meanwhile do your 5 weekly(!) heroics for a 415 item or a drake crest (its a quest found in valdrakken + youll get 389 gear from heroics which can be upgraded to 411 with flightstones) then start with exploring some +2 to +10 keys because you are new, want to get to know the dungeons with people that are the same as you maybe try a normal raid or simply run lfr if you dont feel ready yet

[@dyyylllaannn]

@@Max-dv1kq since this comment i've successfully gotten my ilvl up to 394, and now I have like 7 drake crests and 7 whelp crests. now i basically understand how to farm the gear but what im struggling with now is how do i know if the pieces i am getting are worth upgrading with crests? i don't wanna blow a drake crest on a shitty boof 415 item that i got off the weekly heroic quest. seems like there's a shitload of random gear items so idk what's worth upgrading etc

[@stankyvisions8197]

So much for casual solo players

[@MarcelianOnline]

Not really. They get gear ilvl and upgrades for the content they play.

[@thechozenfew1273]

its only a better system because you can now upgrade raid gear - but they should of kept the same valor system and added some vendors - this new system will just drive new players away - good job blizz

[@MarcelianOnline]

Well you upgrade for the content you do, it should be fine!

[@daveinvt9460]

I was iLvL 395 before this expansion. How do I get it higher without working my butt off to only upgrade to 398? I am only doing LFG atm.

Instructions unclear.

[@RailinX]

Too much screaming

[@Jay-407]

They do this so the game seems diverse and deep, but it’s the same ole stuff

[@IssaWulf]

Let’s over complicate this easy to understand system… Standard Blizz

[@MarcelianOnline]

It's rather long, not necessarily complicated, I think- due to the gear levels being split in different names (aka the casual to mythic raider).

[@IssaWulf]

@@MarcelianOnline seems unnecessary. Was never needed in the past.

[@Kurtis922]

wtf ever happened to boss drops item and loot item TIRED OF THIS

[@gwilly4744]

Hey, cheer up, you can now collect hundreds of coins and tokens from several new currency types. Oh boy!!! FUN! This is the worst patch I’ve ever played in WoW and there has been some bad ones. I’ve enjoyed 10.0 up until now. It’s like I’ve run out of things to do and there is no challenge to this content.

[@MarcelianOnline]

It makes it easier to gear up, I think - you want your bis dungeon trinket, you farm it, but it never drops....and then you join a Los key, and you get it. Now you have the option to level it up a bit, but not all the way from +2 to +20... something with a little bit of common sense

[@Scudzzorz15]

Stop yelling at the start of the video, brotha.

[@anulire]

These days, you need to be rocket scientist to understand anything you need to do to gear up in WoW. What happened with dungeon gear, raid gear and pvp gear? Simple, easy to remember. I quit because of Night Elves and cross faction guilds and grouping, deleted account completely so I don't play this crap anymore. Just hanging around and watching what is happening.

[@Alttabbins]

"Easy to understand" - Bro this video is over 20 minutes long.

[@MarcelianOnline]

Yes we tried our best to make it easy to understand, thank you for noticing :*

[@UltimateGamerCC]

yes, because the majority of people need this system drawn out for them in crayon. the blunt answer is do harder content to get better gear.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

only to you, +2 spammer.

[@sanikthehogheg2891]

The system explanation is easier, not getting gear. Now you ACTUALLY have to play the game properly instead of +2 farming for valor

+2 spammer cant see why this is better. lol

[@lukeluckynblue1873]

best part about gearing in new patch is that it reminds me the BFA days when you had to do 1 +10 and you get mythic ilvl gear... It's almost similar now you just needs to do few +11 keys to farm crests and upgrade gear to 441 from vault :D

If you are having a tough time with upgrades as a solo player, you can use Enchanted Whelping Crests with the Blue Crafted gear recipes to make 408 gear at max quality. You can't upgrade but you can choose your preferred stats and save flight stones/time.

I got outdoor gear for all slots but only two of them go up to 411, rest are capped at 398 which is pretty silly. It wouldn't be too horrible to let the outdoor stuff go to 424.

[@MarcelianOnline]

There is a bit too much friction with some of this stuff for sure!

[@UltimateGamerCC]

starting today you can get higher level outdoor gear through Fyrakk Assaults. also i've managed to get Veteran level gear drops from the Niffen Weekly Quest. so i cannot agree with your assessment on just the first week alone.

[@gwilly4744]

Yep, very poor design on Bliz part. YT creators are not addressing this as most raid and do M+, so it doesn’t impact them. Also, they work more closely with Bliz PR these days and don’t want to be black listed by Bliz. All the popular YT channels are bending over backwards to paint 10.1 as amazing content. That leaves the rest of us doing fart sniffing quest for cartoon mole people. There is zero challenge to this game for solo/casual players.

[@Phantom_Anthem]

@@gwilly4744 I mean normal raid and lower end m+ is pretty casual, I’m sorry but wow isnt truly meant to just be questing outside and gearing up as high as people who actually do the content, the out door stuff is just to access the true endgame content

​@@gwilly4744 no sorry dude, can't agree, this raid is super easy for casuals on normal and the rewards are amazing, join a guild, it's way more fun

[@Lethal97]

I wasn’t a fan of this at first, but the more I’ve had to upgrade gear…when it drops..it’s more rewarding than spamming M+ 2’s for BV. It’s sad to see that I may have to change characters due to Hunter not being in the best spot anymore. They killed BM for no reason 😂 so having to learn MM - it’s so hit or miss, and I love consistency. One or two pulls in a row you’re out dpsing everyone, but the next 4-5 you’re 3rd and maybe even the tank is catching up 😅 prolly just me though. Skill issue.

[@MarcelianOnline]

It does feel better than spamming 2s indeed!

[@jonemnemonicjustjohnny7012]

It’s not just you BM is good burst single target but not on groups of mobs no real good AOE . I can drop to 4th in dps on 5 man heroics trash mobs and on boss fights single target run 1st-2nd and you can set there and watch yourself climb the chart on single target and realize your AOE is trash .

[@ServeMySoul777]

Here we go again. Blizzard wasting time changing things that do not need to be changed and in the process making it worse, more convoluted , and confusing. There was nothing wrong with Valor. We’ve been asking for it back, you give it back, and then take it away again. Why?! Edit: I watched a little further into the video, and once again Blizzard drops the ball on catalysts. Once 6 weeks till around almost everyone will have their 4 set 😢 I like the game, and want it to do well, but damn it’s like they want to fail 🤦‍♂️

[@gwilly4744]

Bliz is tripping over themselves to reset what good will they won back with DF. This expansion is my last attempt to stay with the game. I’ve played it for as long as it’s been out and I think this is the worst patch ever. I know the Raiders and M+ folks are largely enjoying it, but there isn’t much for the rest of us. Seriously think about it for a moment. We have cartoon mole people giving us fart sniffing quest and there are poo play quest. This is now a MMO for babies.

[@MarcelianOnline]

Well, if they give catalyst on day 1 and everyone has 4 set within a month (at most, catalyst only, no vault or raid drops) - there's not much incentive to do content/log in/basically play the game 😉

[@ServeMySoul777]

@@MarcelianOnline Not really. I don’t think most people play just to get their tier set and stop. Gear isn’t what keeps me coming back. It’s friends, and content I enjoy playing. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy increasing player power, but I don’t think it’s an end all be all type of deal. Have a great day, and thanks for the great videos!
