EU+US 101 Twink?

One other thought on 101s would be to actually level to 101 outside of the Broken Isles, to maximise your chances of epic procs on quest completions at 101. Also, to get the order hall upgrade for drop chance as soon as physically possible too, for the same reason....
While this is a reasonable idea it's not as valid as 99's doing the same thing since there are so many 101 World Epics to be had, many at a lowish price. Those World Epics are vastly superior to even the best Epic proc'd Quest reward. Still not a bad idea though.

This is only really important for the quests that reward relics. There's 6 that have the potential to be +10 ilvls unless I missed some (5 are blue by default, 1 is green). I took 2 DKs through them before equipping my BoEs in the hope that one would get 2 epic procs but one got 1 and the other got none.

You can level from 100 to 101 pretty fast by doing the bonus objectives in the Broken Isles since they don't give any items.

In other news, I've just unlocked the 14th AF trait on my 101 from casually doing missions (haven't done any dungeons for over a week). I have a feeling these Order Hall resources are going to run out fairly soon though and I only have 2 zones of treasure chests remaining :(

Also just about done with my soloing adventures - 6/7 HM, 9/10 BRF and 10/13 HFC - mostly on heroic but some on normal/mythic.

in ptr you can trade in blood of sargeras for more order resources
 
Worth getting leather 835+ chest over mail 800 chest for my hunter? I'll miss the 5% primary stat increase. I'm considering it. Armor difference isnt much at all lol.

edit: is it 5% for each mail piece of gear? Or just having the full set?
5% for full set. its worth it in pve since agi + stam gain will be more than 5%. bgs will probably gain more from the 5% than ilvl.
 
And as of today, we should be able to get 855-895 items. They will be more than rare and expensive as f**k. But it should be possible. If you can find one on the ah would be nice if you can link it here for comparison reasons. And because of that hopefully the prices for 835-850 will drop.

I was under the impression that the new upgrade Ranks were for the Crafted (Gravenscale / Dreadleather / etc) and Mythic+ and Legendaries, none of which a 101 can equip.

Any item that can upgrade has the potential to upgrade to the ilvl cap (which just got increased to 895). It just gets more and more unlikely the lower the base ilvl is (in this case 840) since it has to do so many +5 ilvl rolls to get there.

Damn that's an insane trinket, hope you bought it!

If anyone sees any 860+ (with socket) or 865+ (without socket) DK items on EU that they aren't buying themselves then please let me know! :)

im not willing to spend 140k gold on it. plus im not twinking 101. im just interested to find out these things. and that one is on on US though.
 
I don't like you, so I won't tell you!!!
smh D:

Btw apparently the Potions of the Old War have been fixed - saw a screenshot of recount from a level 110 blood DK and it did 12mil damage...

Edit: Just did a burst dps test (~20secs) to see how much damage the potions do

Edit2: Saw this on Defias Brotherhood EU - currently at 201k, bid only (no I'm not buying it xD)

wait for a little bit to see if they can titanforge any higher b4 spending gold
 
They will go down in price as they become less relevant for end-game raiders with new patches, but the supply might also go down with less people levelling or doing world quests (or just quitting lol).

What we need to somehow figure out is the chance for each +5 roll (if it's the same chance per roll), then we'll know the max ilvl we'll realistically see. Here's the probability of getting each item level based on different chances for the +5 ilvl roll:

My guess is it's about a 25% chance based on those numbers and what we've seen on the AH so far. Maybe we can compare the number of each ilvl seen on the AH through the Undermine Journal to estimate an actual number.

Edit: You then need to bare in mind the chance of people getting these world drop epics, the chance of getting a 101 version rather than a level scaling version, and then the chance/value of getting a socket/tertiary stat :p

Edit2: The above table was the cumulative probability, so like "the chance to get this ilvl or higher". This following one is the chance to get each specific ilvl (which is more useful for comparing the amount we see on the AH to find a theoretical number)

I think we're looking at 865 being the highest realistically obtainable ilvl. Obviously there's still a chance that we'll see some items that are higher ilvl if there's some insanely lucky people out there but I doubt they will be common enough to get more than a couple, definitely not a full set.

Hey all, the idea of having a 101 twink sounded pretty fun. Never having a DK before, I made a Blood DK. I noticed the killing capacity due to scaling with mobs/stats is real fast! With that being said, I might just keep this as a fun/farming character. Think it's better off keeping this guy at 101 just for that? I just need to find a sweet spot to grind for skinning. Any recommendations? My char is currently ilvl 788 right now.

Lion Seals at Challiane's Terrace in the north of Azsuna for Stonehide Leather
Crabs in Eye of Azshara (dungeon) for Stormscale, if you can solo it

Might want to also consider herbalism, it's very profitable right now. Foxflower in Highmountain, Fjarnskaggl in Stormheim, and Starlight Rose in Suramar if you have a Sky Golem and you're tank spec (or get those LW items to avoid being dismounted).
