Where can you find the best gear in Legion? We will reveal to you where to get the strongest equipment in the new WoW add-on.
Good gear comes from many sources
With World of Warcraft: Legion, a lot changes in Blizzard’s MMORPG. Especially the traditional item system blurs a bit, as good gear comes from many different sources. However, there is a certain guideline showing where to get which equipment. To help you roughly plan how and where to collect your gear, we have created a list that indicates where to get equipment for the various types of content.
| Starting Gear (“blue” – rare) | Item Level |
| Normal Dungeons | 805 |
| World Quests | 805 |
| Quests in Suramar (Level 110 Zone) | 815 |
| Heroic Dungeons | 825 |
| Advanced Gear (“purple” – epic) | |
| Group Finder Raids (“LFR”) | 835 |
| Mythic Dungeons | 840 |
| Raids (normal) | 850 |
| World Bosses | 860 |
| Raids (heroic) | 865 |
| Raids (mythic) | 880 |
Also remember that PvP gear starts at item level 810 – depending on your rating, you will receive better gear when you win in the arenas and battlegrounds.
Similar applies to the crafters. They can already create “level gear” with item level 715 at the start at level 100 and then craft high-level gear for the endgame. With the new material Obliterum, an item level of 850 can be reached.
A user on Reddit has summarized this list in a clear graphic.
Please note that almost all items are subject to a new system that allows them to be upgraded randomly multiple times. This is to keep “old content”, like instances, interesting for experienced players, so they can occasionally receive an upgrade.
