Idiots guide to gearing your BfA locked 50

zazzyfraz said:
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.

If gold isn't an issue, id say grab it. You can get the same ilvl gear from heroic nyalotha or a 3 mask horrific vision.

The greyed out bonus doesn’t work, it’s a legacy effect from bfa. The belt is fine, a bit expensive though. I would’ve personally told you to try to find 130ilvl for cheap on a different server using theunderminejournal.com

buy a wowtoken to sell for 120k, then you buy a character transfer to bring the item back. its alot, but depending on your goals could be totally worth it, especially with how rare 130 illvl are atm

all can be done with blizzard balance. you can buy 4 wowtokens with gold to get 60$ blizzard balance. then you spend 20$ balance on a token to sell for gold, and then 25$ balance to bring the item to your twink

do the renown bonuses like 2% stamina stay after transfer and are there any trinkets etc from shadowlands one should get before said hypothetical transfer?

yeah there’s some posts, in a couple places. Fungal linked some. I’ll just post here.

Renown 2 by completing a calling in a zone, engineering up to around 65 skill, fishing pole.

rare items
Slumberwood Band
Siphoning Blood-Drinker
Rotbriar Sprout
Book-Borrower Identification
Glowing Endmire Stinger
I only grabbed the aoe CC ring on my mage and Druid. I had no use for any of the SL items since those 2 toons are already geared. I did grab epic rotbriar trinket on my hunter, and the ocarina trinket from Mists dungeon. My 50s are in my sig. book borrower identification trinket is good too. The rares can proc 104ilvl epic, daily lockout.

@sevenohseven I hope to see you join the bracket, your advice on 110s got me into those and I enjoyed that bracket a lot, and am enjoying this one even more. Send me any questions you have and I can help you with legendary cloak stuff too

This was on a 49 in the opening questline, before choosing threads of fate. Not sure how it all is going down in this thread.

tell whoever it is kicking me from the community to stop being such a bitch.
 
Enjoyed how this guide gets right to the point, thanks for sharing so much info so succinctly.
I had no plans of making a 50 but after breathing sand for hours to unlock Vulpera I found out that, well, duh.
Anyway I figure 50s are the new 110s so may level a couple of 45s to see how I enjoy it.
One quick question:
Is the SL gear and covenant stuff powerful enough that I'll be at a major disadvantage by not having it?
I don't ever expect to be OP and am fine with that - but I'd also hate to find not having the expac makes me too squishy.

You will not be at a major disadvantage without the abilities. Our power comes from our massive ilvl and high stats on azerite gear and our legendary cloak.
You will commonly run into sync level 60s, and you’ll find that their covenant spells are generally not scary at all. The power of covenant scales with your toons gear, so think of it more as an augmentation. It’s really just 2 extra spells and 2% stamina. Generally they are all longer CD spells. There’s a definite advantage, but you don’t need any of it to dominate bgs
