Where do I get end-game gear for Warlords of Draenor?

Where do I get end-game gear for Warlords of Draenor? - Crop woman getting safety equipment from violet bag

After reaching level 100, I picked up gear with item-level >= 620 from around Draenor. I also got some from LFR and heroic dungeons. But now I don't know what to do. I've heard you can get even better gear:

  • Doing harder raids (How? I don't see a difficulty-option in raid-finder)
  • "World bosses" (who and where are they?)
  • Buying with various currencies (How do I get them? Who do I buy from?)

But I don't know how to do those. And is there anyplace else to get better gear?

(I've seen this question which appears to be the same question by the title; but it's actually asking what stats to prioritize)



Best Answer

For doing harder raids from Normal to Mythic you will be either stuck doing PuG's or joining a guild. The raid-finder can only give you the LFR difficulty which drops iLvl640.

At the moment of writing there are 2 world bosses both in Gogrond:

But when the Black Rock Foundry is released a third can be found at Spire's of arak:

As for currency there are at the moment 2 ways to gain upgrades:

  • Conquest points : These you get for doing arena, you will also get 50 for winning a BG, doing Ashran or from a gladiator's sanctum in your garrison. With conquest points you can buy primal gladiator gear that has an iLvl of 660.
  • Apexis Crystal's : These you get from completing your daily quest in your garrison, from doing your daily inn quests, you can get them from work orders in your garrison aswell. And some quests also give them as reward. These will let you buy iLvl 630 gear, but you can upgrade them 2 times, each upgrade costing more crystals. The first upgrade is to iLvl 645 and the second upgrade is iLvl655

Answer 2

To get better gear than item level 620 you can

  • do Heroic Dungeons in the Group Finder tool (default hotkey I), these award item level 630 gear.
  • do LFR raids in the Group Finder Tool, these award item level 640 gear for Highmaul LFR and item level 650 gear for Blackrock Foundry LFR (Blackrock Foundry will be available in february, see here).
  • do raids in Normal difficulty, these award item level 655 (Highmaul) and 665 (Blackrock Foundry). To find groups for this raid difficulty use the trade chat on your realm or the Group Finder tool under "Premade Groups" - "Raids - Warlords of Draenor".
  • Later you can also do Heroic difficulty the same way like Normal but the groups often require a higher item level and experience in Normal difficulty. These raids reward item level 670 (Highmaul) and 680 (Blackrock Foundry).
  • do the world bosses (Drov and Tarlna). Both are located in the Gorgrond zone and show often up on the map for this zone. They drop item level 650 gear but you can only get loot from one boss per week. You can find groups for these in trade chat or the Group Finder tool under "Premade Groups" - "Custom". A third world boss (Rukhmar) will be added in february (see the link above for Blackrock Foundry) and will drop item level 665 gear.
  • buy gear in your Ashran capital city for Apexis Crystals. This gear starts with item level 630 and can be upgraded (for even more crystals) to item level 645 and 655. (The vendors for the first stage: Horde / Alliance). You get Apexis Crystals from a daily quest in your garrison main building.
  • buy PVP gear with Conquest Points. This gear has item level 660 and is sold in Ashran, vendors: Horde / Alliance.
  • craft your own gear with professions or buy it from other players (over trade chat or auction house). This gear starts with item level 640 (630 for weapons and shields) and can be upgraded further to item level 655 and 670 (645 and 660) with other profession items which require Savage Blood. The initial items cost only a ew thousand gold (depending on the realm).
  • find or buy rare epic world drops with item level 655. These can drop from every level 100 and above mob, but are very rare. You may find some in the auction house.

PS: You find more information about dungeons, raids, world bosses and their loot in the ingame Dungeon Journal (default hotkey Shift+J).

Answer 3

In Warlords of Draenor, we were introduced with a new raid difficulty system. This progressive based system is divided into 4 separate categories which are:

  • LFR
  • Normal
  • Heroic
  • Mythic

Mythic is where you end game gear is obtained. Current End game is High Maul, but is not a final end game result as normally Blizzard delivers 2 additional content patches within a years time of the initial release of the Expansion.
