PTR 8.1.5 Dungeon loot item lvl buffed. Affecting all levels.

I thought epics scaled up to 71? Mine remain 58 on PTR. Perhaps I read something wrong?
 
at 59, are there any epic gears with sockets ? as for copying character to PTR .. sounds really complicated .. i have never play in PTR before
 
Anniversary event items can proc sockets, I think that's the only option.

As for the PTR, you just have to download it from the battle.net client that you use to start WoW. I think it's like 65 gigs or something, but you can copy your current WoW folders to your new PTR folder to save lots of time. I'm not going to explain copying it in case i'd screw something up for you, but if you're interested you can easily search how to properly do it.
 
which then means that likely the old old legion pre-invasion large and small crate will give good stuff ? nice i have tons of them left in many toons .. like over 150 crates in each of my low lvl toons .. been waiting for things to change before opening them up again
I'm so jelly, I wish I finished my Plate set. One of my only regrets. Thankfully I have full T3 Dreadnaught, but man, I still would've liked the full set of Pre-Legion plate gear.
 
There isn't any epic socket gear for 59 atm. But there is plenty of dungeon epics for 59.
i have not touch my 59s for a long time, i did manage to change all to socket gears after ilvl was dropped and stats is back, from what i remember all the 59s socket gears from dungeons are blue, not purple epic .. will the new epic ilvl71's stats surpass the blue socket gears with gems ?

the pre-legion set is only really useful for 49 or lower, cos the 59 are already using gems .. nothing beats the gem socket gears if the game is about stats and not ilvl, i am just keeping them cos "maybe" one day blizz decided to go back to ilvl again, and also lucky thing is these crates do not have expiry dates, unlike the 3days bg crates

Nah.... at least not many, if any. Epic weapons are nice tho. It's not really that much difference anymore, since the squish.

Gems are strong, especially the PvP vendor +5/+5 agi and int. Plate classes are already strong so +6 str does them well.

edit- all the blue socket armors are getting buffed too, so it's not a big deal about epics. Procs were a bigger deal, IMO.
 
If you have, for example, the old ilvl 57 version of dastardly bracers is there any chance of a gm upgrading it to the currently available ilvl 59 version? If not we are pissed.
 
grandfathered cloak enchants such as +5 all resistance, +3 all resist and +15 to specific resistances have been removed from the cloaks and show up as blank on the cloaks. hopefully blizz reverts this!!

How old? Patch 7.3.5 seems to be the cutoff, if you got them after that they should automatically upgrade on patch day.

edit- I got mine at like 47 cuz I didn't know. :oops: But... you shouldn't have to worry.
Delete the item and restore It through item restoration. This used to not work, but its always worth a try :D
 
Update: lvl 59 looms got an item lvl boost too now on the latest ptr. From ilvl 60 to ilvl 63. That was not enough to give them a stat boost though so they remain with the same stats as before. here is a SS of 59 loom on current ptr.
