In World of Warcraft better gear is coming soon for all players. However, they will have to put in more effort for that.
Harder dungeons, better loot: In Patch 8.1 “Tides of Vengeance”, the item level of items from dungeons is supposed to be increased. Testers on the WoW PTR have already found this out. According to Buffed, dungeons will also be harder to master.
Heroic Uldir Loot from Mythic Dungeons
Higher item levels from dungeons: According to the numbers from PTR players, all dungeons and difficulties in World of Warcraft with Patch 8.1 will be adjusted. In the dungeons, you can then loot the following item levels:
- Normal Dungeons: Item level 340+ (currently 310+)
- Heroic Dungeons: Item level 355+ (currently 325+)
- Mythic Dungeons: Item level 370+ (currently 340+)
The items from heroic dungeons will correspond to the gear from the current normal mode of Uldir. The item level of mythic dungeons even corresponds to the heroic mode of Uldir.
The boost will likely also affect items from “Mythic+” Dungeons. According to Buffed, some data miners have also found out that the dungeons are supposed to become harder. However, it is not known exactly how this will look.
Improved Azerite Armor: According to information, the Azerite items are also supposed to be adjusted. Epic Azerite armor from mythic dungeons is supposed to already possess the fifth ring with traits.
However, more artifact power will also be required again. The Heart of Azeroth needs to reach higher levels to unlock the traits of the new items.
For Azerite armor from normal dungeons, low “M+” dungeons, and the LFR of the new raid “Battle for Dazar’alor”, up to level 40 will be needed on the heart. This increases further with better gear, up to level 48 in the mythic mode of the raid and “Mythic+10” dungeons.
When will the change occur? Since the changes are currently being tested on the PTR, they will definitely appear in Patch 8.1.
However, the changes to the Azerite items suggest that the items will not be available directly at the release of Patch 8.1 in December 2018. Instead, they will probably go live together with the new raid “Battle for Dazar’alor” in early 2019.
