What day does it reset? Monday, tuesday? I can't find the info on wowhead at all. Looked at bfa today front page, nothing there. Also the world quests page for nzoth assaults has not been accurate. Thnx

Tuesdays after reset. It alternates weeks. This week org, next week sw, and then on and on.
Assaults same. This week Uldum was main hub. Main hub gets 2 - 1 after reset, and 1 after 11PM EST on Fridays (time might be off but around then).
Pandaland had just 1 this week.
So next week those will reverse - panda will be main assault and get 2, uldum 1.
Whichever zone has world boss is the one that will have a second mini-assault on the weekend.

So it might not matter too much, but i've been seeing level 50 loot on the AH over 100 ilvl... but once it's in your bag it has a higher level requirment - and yet it doesnt. Equipped them just five even tho it says level 53 req in red.
Just curious if there might be some really decent ilvl options with this bug, I'm not too into BfA endgame to know.
I've found/seen several but just today realized they are actually equip-able on a level 50.
(edit- this is on a BfA account, no SL upgrade if it matters)

This is VERY interesting. Pretty sure the req. lvl will be higher than 50.

I checked with plate green boes on my realm and getting a req. lvl

What I'm saying is that filtering the AH to level 50 max, anything from SL over ilvl 100 will likely say a higher level req when you get it in your bag, however you can still equip the item on a level 50. (didnt equip this, so dunno if it's 100%)
edit- highest I saw so far was an ilvl 130 something blue warglaive, but i didnt buy it (such an idiot) so i dont know what level it said was required to use it once it was in-bag... likely that level 50 still could use it tho.

I'm on a dead-ish cross realm so you might have better luck scouring the AH for interesting BOEs. The highest I've come across have been been 100's. Tried again with another few green boes using the method that you described with the same result "req. level..."

So sort by 50 max level and they'll show up above ilvl 100? Sounds interesting.

Yes, sorting by "useable only" on a lvl 50 does occasionally bring up lvl 53's with iLvl of 111, but it's not every boe of those same parameters. Some of the items are useable and others are not, it's another weird grey area that I assume will be addressed or patched soon.

You dont have to be level 50 tho, just filter as max level 50, then you can check on any level toon. Your way requires 50.

Your recommended Sacred Stats to chest only gives +7 primary when scaled down to 50, but this beauty gives +primary and +shadow dmg on proc.
I didn't take note of what my STR was before swapping from Sacred Stats, but it seems the same.
The shadow dmg seems to be based off your own crit/mastery/versa, so it can be boosted by all 3.
Tested on an Unholy DK with 20% crit, 60% mastery. Test shows it crit twice out of 11 hits, so 18.2% of the time, matches with my 20% crit. It also cast 11 times within the ~2 minutes I was testing, so that's roughly 6ppm for procs' internal CD, if there is one.
Unholy DK mastery boosts shadow dmg, and it also affects this.

The mob that drops this wep also drops weps for all slots/classes at the same 155 ilvl, but there's comments on WoWhead for some of the items that say even tho they were able to loot the items, they could not use them until 60. There's some hidden req that erroneously shows as "needs level 0, 50, or 51" even when trying on lvls 52-59.
I havent been able to test personally tho

Forgive me, my account has been inactive since middle to late Legion Season 2, are the covenant abilities something that would dramatically change the way battlegrounds are played, or is it something that is minimal enough to ignore? I am not to familiar with how the expansions work now but would I have to buy the expansion upgrade to Battle for Azeroth? Do the effects from any of the legion legendaries still benefit at level 50, My rogue has https://www.wowhead.com/item=137069/will-of-valeera?bonus=3630 which if the benefit still works is better then what some of the other guides have listed but I would also be giving up some extra stats.
~No doubt a very good and helpful guide.
Here is my armory https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/karazhan/cable/ any input on gear would be great.

You would need an active sub, just not shadowlands upgrade. The only experience I have with covenants is playing against people with them, and I have yet to see anything that really stands out. Legion leggos effects no longer work (rip https://www.wowhead.com/item=132443/aggramars-stride?bonus=3630)

you will need to fully regear, it will be a lot of work. Covenant stuff is strong, but they are only cooldown spells. Basically they are overkill in most situations. Some like druid are definitely “I win” buttons. Other like MM hunter are more of a gimmick with a little free damage. But you don’t need them to win ever. The power from our high ilvl BFA gear is more than enough to destroy bgs.

My new bfa player outline guide specifically aimed at people who have never entered bfa on any toon. has step by step outline of what you have do to power up in bfa, check it out before deciding if your going to do it. It will be a lot of work. If you know someone who played bfa, and they can help you, it will be huge.
