Another reason I wrote it off and didn't look further into it back when SL dropped. Looks like maybe I should've paid more attention.

I have data on this if you want to know more @DeLindsay @zazzyfraz

You can post it here. Blizz intentionally changed the Level requirement of those items down to 48 at some point after SL launch so I can't see them nerfing them if 49's get those pcs.

Not surprising but still missed, I'd actually class this as different to the clearly bugged BOE blues (those state a level requirement that is ignored, while the rep items progress in ilvl as the rep increases which I'd suggest is intentional as a player levels through the expansion the rep reward gets better).
Ever way, lets hope any data is shared and we dont get secret circles or clique forming.

@dirtypaws it's always been equipable from 48, in a similar way to the bugged green that can be equipped at 50

I of course transferred my 50 over back to my capped account a day before I saw this lol. As a reminder remember that most side quests also reward rep, some world quests obviously do(don't remember if world quests themseves have base rep).
Now I have to decide whether to transfer my 50 back over then back again or use a different 50 to quickly get rep then transfer it over. I think I will opt for the second option, seeing as this replaces a ton of gear and Essence unlocks are account wide the only thing I have to farm for is HoA and the cloak again. I would double transfer, but who knows what will happen in between the 60 day transfer lock and this at least potentially allows obtaining it. Knew I would miss something as I alway do, guess I should've checked the vendors more closely as well heh.
Edit: On another note, is there a list of what blue BoEs drop? I had yet to see one in all the farming I did before I transferred.

I am 100% complete on all Quests available to 49's on 2 of my 3 remaining SL 49's and that only gets you just into Friendly. All WQ's that are in areas 49's can do (non-60 only areas) will award some Rep. The bigger issue is how few of those on a daily basis are available per Zone (maybe 250-500 Rep/Day).
The BoE Blues are from Treasures and are one-and-done. They MUST be Looted with a 49 in order to be equippable by a 49, just doesn't have to be THAT 49. To this point I've only found 3, the Shield in Maldraxxus, the Cloak in Bastion and the (1) Glaive in Revendreth, which means you need (2) 49's to each loot it for 1 DH.
EDIT: MY 49 DH in Sig is wearing the Cloak and Glaives. I have the Shield on my 49 Pally for when he goes Prot, but it's not equipped.

i went back on 50 druid, i want this gear for pve boosting purposes. couple months of potential rep i couldve had hurts. only cost 2 wowtokens, 250k gold or so to go back to SL acct, not a huge deal personally. im not sure how long this will all stay so im not pulling the trigger on a boosted 50dh that id end up not playing if something changes to this or the glaives

Ah, yes I know of these, and this one. Its definitely very good for DHs(mythic ny'alotha end boss equivalent). Been wondering, does this scale below lvl 48 if say a lvl 40 looted it? Can a lvl 40 loot it, or it is only those who have activated Threads of Fate get scaled down? I would test but it but I don't have someone to summon me and I don't have two Shadowlands accounts to test, 30-40$ is a bit much just for it heh.
Also, if you know how do rare BoEs like Forgotten Venthyr Winged Kris scale? Someone mentioned it on the wow forums so I was curious if that could be a route for a powerful high ilvl weapon or other items. I am unsure if there are more like these, but I would assume so. I would link both of these but I just created this account on a different computer(can't remember any info for the previous account) so the post would get flagged.

Yeah 50 Twinks could really benefit from this as well. I will say that 50 Quest rewards in SL are exactly the same as 49's (iLvL) so really the only benefit there is access to potentially more Quests/Treasures and therefore Rep. I'm in the same boat because the TT used to state a higher Character Level so I never really bothered worrying about Rep before yesterday.
I can 100% confirm that you MUST be on ToF in order for THAT CHARACTER to obtain the Loot scaled to their Level, i.e. 48+. However, you can Equip said item on a 48-50 that doesn't have Shadowlands and hasn't done The Maw as long as the Character that looted said item is the exact same Level as you.
The way I know about the ToF issue with drops is my non-SL 49 got summoned to Bastion and cannot loot the Cloak (requires 51 or something to her, but 48 if on ToF). She then got summoned to Ardenwield and Rotbriar Spout requires Level 54 or something to her but scales as low as 48 when on ToF. I killed the Rare with her, the Trinket is in her bags, she cannot equip it.

I have some extra balance left over, 48/49s/50s aren't really noticed, so I am willing to chance it especially since there is not really any other outliers so far and this would be a big boost for 48-50s. I already had my boosted 50 and I like the class fairly well so even if it gets changed I wouldn't mind gearing it up the old fashioned way when Mythic Ny'alotha transmog runs become more often. Even if it gets changed the other stuff is nice to have too(especially covenant abilities like convoke cough cough), so either way I don't mind much, but I guess it depends on the 50 you have, the amount of throwaway currency you have, and if you want to gear up another 50.

its a massive game changer for 48-50s, might even make us comparable to some 60s. Definitely worth it in my opinion to farm in fear of missing out heh. Still remember the mistake I made of missing 58/59 ilvl non azerite gear.

Here's the proof that ToF is the only way your Character can get SL gear (outside of the Aspirant's area in Bastion) to scale TO that Character's Level, and what happens when you're not on ToF. This 49 hasn't done The Maw, can still use Chromie Time (with difficulty), is wearing an iLvL 98 SL BoP item but also has an iLvL 128 non-scaled BoP Trinket (won't equip) due to not being on ToF. You can still equip the 3 BoE Blues from Treasures as long as another 49 looted it.

I dont know if this is news or not, it's new to me... when we first used the glaives they had a level 54 requirement or something, but as long as they were looted by a 49 you could use them anyway - now one i have in a bag says req 49.
Dont know if they all do or not, used to be I couldnt find out which ones work until you equip them...

@Warglave I can confirm the ones my DH is wearing (still iLvL 140) no longer say in red "Requires Level 5X". I unequipped them and even in my bags they no longer say it. Blizz clearly changed all this for a reason. Now, is that reason because they're about to flip the switch that force-enables XP while in SL Zones is up to speculation.
[doublepost=1613123521,1613111710][/doublepost]Alright, after 2 days of doing all 4 Zones' WQ on a 49 again I did a little calculations about roughly how long it'll take EACH Character (at 49, 50 may have access to more Quests & WQ) to get to Exalted with all 4 Factions to have access to the most Reputation gear:
If I had to guess, I'd say drop at least 15% off the overall time for 50's due to additional Quests, possible additional WQ and access to Dungeon Quests. 50's may be capable of all WQ's in each Zone, although the 60's only areas might require help from a 60. Since those NPC's are ?? to 49's, we don't even get the pop up of the WQ.

- ~2 Days for all 4 Zones: ToF Zone Quests gets you to a little bit into Friendly.
- ~15 Days: Just into Friendly > Honored, ave 350 Rep/Day. Min I got was 250 (common), max was 550 (uncommon).
- ~34 Days: Honored to Revered.
- ~60 Days: Revered to Exalted.
- TOTAL = ~110 Days per Character without Rep Tokens since 49's cannot access Dungeons and any Rep from them.
