I have a purple name and i like it
Just Necroing this old 110s Gearing Guide From the legend @necroaqua out, I hope it helps some of you to find his way to his BIS Gear before it gets patched.

HOW TO GET THE HOA QUEST

Que together with a 50 geared Character into BFA Dungeons until the 50 loots a Azeritgear from a Boss. Now trade it to your twink , relog and you got the Quest. Fly to Silithus and do the Intro Quest. Dont use the Silithus portal, it was Bugged (Maybe fixxed? )

Thats it !

Intro
Its pretty easy to started at 110 with a basic set of gear, but theres also a lot of potential for finding those rare antorus upgrades later on to get even better. This guide is aimed at helping you figure out the general set of gear you’ll want to look for - but won’t tell you exactly how to play/gear a given class/spec since there are so many options and multiple ways to play them.



So lets break that down a bit more…

  • Heart of Azeroth - Your BfA artifact takes up the neck slot. Its got lots of stats. It enables your azerite armor. Use it.

  • Azerite Armor - See below, as it makes up the majority of the guide. In short, you can get some 295 azerite pieces that will have azerite traits and upgrade to 300. There are also a number of 280s available through questing and rares. It’ll take a bit of planning to get the right 295s for your main spec, and then you can aim for 280 pieces for possible off-specs. Only in the Head/Shoulders/Chest Slots. Cannot proc an upgrade.

  • Legion Artifact Weapon - Even with the traits/abilities disabled, this weapon can get pretty beefy with good relics. Since relic traits don’t matter - only the ilvl matters, which makes getting good ones a bit easier. Mythic antorus titanforged relics are BiS.
Azerite Gear
Azerite gear covers the Head/Shoulders/Chest slots. They have different traits for each class. For a 110 twink, we ideally want them at 295->300 ilvl. Since we can only get 4* pieces at that level, you’ll want to figure out good traits for your main spec and focus your efforts there. You can then go for 280 ilvl pieces for your offspecs or alternate sets.

The first piece you get is from Infusing the Heart (the heart of azeroth intro questline). This piece is always 280 and does NOT count towards the 7 main story quests. Look for a piece that might be useful for an offspec or while doing the main quests, but don’t stress about the choice too much.

The Great Sea Scrolls quest is a great option. It ALWAYS provides a 295 Battered Vyrkul helm slot. Theres only one choice for your armor type, so if the trait is good, then boom - you’ve got a head piece. If it isn’t good for your main spec, then maybe its a good off-spec piece. THIS QUEST CAN NO LONGER BE OBTAINED BY 110s - HOWEVER IT CAN BE SHARED. Find someone 111+ with the quest and get it shared.

With the main story quest rewards, things are more complicated. After a lot of people tested on the forums, and I think @izesells got the final details first (or at least summarized it best) here.

Basically there are several quests which reward azerite gear at ilvl 280, but those rewards could be 295. There are 3 zones for each faction, with 2 quests that reward azerite armor each, for a total of 6 pieces of azerite gear from your island. You can also do one war campaign to the opposite faction’s island for a piece of PvP gear (the other war campaign quests are level gated) - which makes for a 7th piece. The first 4 pieces you get out of these seven will be ilvl 280. The last 3 pieces will be ilvl 295 (you may need to relog if you’re already holding onto a quest).

The rest of this guide is about helping you figure out what azerite pieces are available, where they are from, and how to get the 295s you want.

Don’t forget about your offspecs - the first 4 story quests are only 280, but are great for having some pretty good offspec gear. There are also a number of rares that drop 280 pieces. I hope to add those in eventually for people looking for offspec gear.

And in general - hold onto ALL of your azerite gear. Blizzard may rebalance traits and completely change what is good.

Determine your Path
Step 1 is to know what you want. I can’t tell you what you want or help with that. You’ll want to look up class guides, dps charts, and do some theorycrafting yourself for what is strong for your 110. Here are some resources:
  • Wowhead/icyveins/other class guides (just google em)
  • Class discords - generally focused on 120, but a lot of knowledgeable people who might be able to help out for 110 specific stuff as well.
  • Azerite.info - easy way to pick a class and filter gear to see what traits it offers
  • Bloodmallet - dps sims for traits
  • www.thelootdistrict.com/pvpstats/ - see what azerite traits most pvpers are using (and talents/stats/enchants/etc) at max level
  • XPOff 110-119 Forums! Search for your class/spec. Look at armories. Ask questions.
  • Got more good resources? Throw me a comment and I’ll add it.

Once you’ve found your traits, go ahead and find the right Armor/Faction combination below to look at gear. For helms, the Great Sea Scroll quest is always first, always 295 and does NOT count towards your 7 main story quests. Eventually, I’ll also be including the initial HoA questline azerite reward as well as rare drops, which are always 280 and do NOT count toward your 7 main story quests. They will always be below the main story quest gear and will have NO ITALICS. They are NOT part of the path. They are useful for off-specs and keeping pieces in case traits get buffed/nerfed later on.

The more difficult part is the Main Story Quests - will be listed out with a designation like Tiragarde1, Voldun2, and WarCampaign so that you can clearly tell where it comes from and that it is part of the path. All designations are italicized. If it isn’t in italics, it isn’t part of the path.

You’ll want to figure out your good traits, look through the main story quest reward gear (check wowhead or azerite.info to see traits) and pick a head/shoulders/chest (and 4th piece including the sea scroll quest, maybe for an offspec?), and then see if you can make a plan that will work. For example, If you want both pieces from Zuldazar and the 2nd piece from Nazmir, you can go…

Nazmir1
Voldun1
Voldun2
WarCampaign
Nazmir2
Zuldazar1
Zuldazar2

The last 3 pieces will be 295. Here are some things to look out for while planning your path.
  • The Great Sea Scroll head slot will always be 295 - see if its good for you before considering helms. It does NOT affect or count towards your path.
  • Zone1 must always come before Zone2 for a given zone.
  • So it follows that if you choose an item from Zone1 to be 295, then the same Zone2 will also be 295.
  • You cannot choose more than one of the first zone items due to that.*
  • You can only choose 1 WarCampaign item (aka PvP piece - honorbound/7th legion).*
  • Each zone offers a slot twice. Zuldazar1 and Zuldazar2 both offer head pieces. However these are different pieces with different traits. Double check which you want.
*Unless you switch factions, see below.

Faction Switching
Note - I have not done this, so if anyone who has faction changed sees anything wrong, then please leave a comment! See here for more info.

Faction switching is a bit interesting with BfA. You will NOT keep the opposite faction pieces - they will convert to the equivalent piece for your faction. So if you want to end up back as alliance, you can ignore what the horde traits are. You’ll instead want to look at the equivalent pieces that you’ll get on the alliance side.

Zuldazar <> Tiragarde Sound
Voldun <> Stormsong
Nazmir <> Drustvar

You can then choose gear based on what it will turn into, and get your 295s that way. So you could get a 295 piece from Tiragarde1, then faction transfer to end up as horde and that item will be the equivalent slot from Zuldazar1. Then you can transfer back to your intended faction and do all the quests again and instead get totally new 295 pieces. This gives you a lot more opportunities to get upgraded gear. It will also give you 6 ilvl 295 pieces instead of the usual 3 from the main quests. The scrolls quest is only done once regardless of faction, and rewards the same thing for both sides.

GEAR

Please read the Azerite Gear section above and determine a path before charging forth to get the azerite gear. Trust me, you'll want to know how to get 295 pieces before you start.

Plate - Horde
Helm
Shoulders
Chest
Plate - Alliance
Helm
Shoulders
Chest
Mail - Horde
Helm
Shoulders

And thats that. Lemme know if you see any mistakes or know of any other useful gear.

In the other thread I was told to talk to chromie and return to present timeline. That made the silithus portal work.
[doublepost=1602774017,1602773964][/doublepost]Edit: the piece you get from the HoA quest line does have a level requirement of 40, not sure if that’s always been the case.

Yes that has always been the case. Do you Zandalar/Taragarde quest lines for a total of 2 Azerite pieces (Shoulder + Chest) Do not select helm from those 2 quests or you wont be able to get 3/3 azerite pieces. Get the helm from the 12 scroll quest looting treasure chests.
 
Walked into Atal with a well geared 50 and my 10, azerite piece dropped for 50 but requires lvl 50 when traded and no quest. Has this been fixed or is there something to the que for dungeon instead of walk in
 
Pretty sure people have said that your pal has to have an equivalent or higher iLevel item in that slot when the drop occurs for it to turn into a lower level item when traded. At least that's what I've heard to this point.
 
Yeah, the 50 is mythic geared so no problem with that, the azerite just stayed lvl 50 requuried when traded
 
Ahh, ty i overlooked that step and now have the quest. azerite piece is still level 50
 
Think i am understanding better now thank you, shoulder and chest from questing and helm from scrolls
 
What i did was get the azerite to drop on my main, trade it to my vet, hearth to org, log out on vet, log back in, snag a port to zuldazar(used my mage to port) and then take the portal to silithus. You get the quest when you log back in.

Helm is from scrolls, shoulders are from completing the tirisgarde or zuldazar.
 
I got the quest for HoA finally, but when I take the portal to Silithus I fall through the ground and get stuck in a dc loop. I used the stuck character service, but stupidly tried again and the same thing happened. I tried to fly and ride there from CoT but only got the old phase and couldn’t change it at Zidormi. Now I have to wait 24h for blizz to answer my ticket or the char stuck service to be available again. RIP

you need to be in the BFA Phase
 
We are still able to do Drustvar? If so, I'm fairly certain I need a level 50 Guard to keep me safe.
 
I am pretty sure that the quest only gets triggered, becuase the item is bound to you, i dont know the zandalari Engineering Hat, and if you can learn it on a f2p , but if you wanna test it, let us know !
