You can still go to NW, siege of boralus and get them. Season 2 is expected to start in feb I think. That will open up the motherlode for sure

The rings from necrotic wake dont have any sockets when they drop you use this to add them to it.

From what I heard, https://www.wowhead.com/zone=12841/theater-of-pain is slated to be part of S2,
meaning we can get our hands on

- https://www.wowhead.com/item=178871/bloodoath-signet
- https://www.wowhead.com/item=178872/ring-of-perpetual-conflict
So if you don't feel like grinding NW anylonger, or don't stand to gain the right sub stats from the 2 rings there, then maybe try pre-grinding there.
It may yet prove possible to enchant the rings once they're made a part of the new Season ( a trick I would LOVE to discover to be possible! )

It's always possible that they fix this method for season 2, I highly doubt they intended for low levels to be able to do this. IMO, the safe bet would be to get them now, it's much less likely that blizz would retroactively strip sockets from the gear.

Not so sure, we can still get Ilvl 80 Mechagon rings and that content hasnt changed in a looooooong time

As soon as the news hit about this, & in utter terror that I would miss out on Uber-BiS All-TIme great twink lootz,
I grinded my SOUL out to get these things on as many toons as I could; past the point of hating the game.
& then remembered Stuff like ^ this.
... & the DF necks & to Ooze... etc.
There is always a chance that they get to it, but I'll worry about that should it come to pass.

Well I think it's a little bit different, in the examples you gave blizz would have to go and look at those things specifically to nerf them for twinks.
In the case of the rings we know they are going to be looking at them anyways when they do the season 2 stuff. Will they let the same mistake slide a 2nd time?
I'm not sure how it's coded, but other jewelry that is available to both lvl 80s and lower levels does not work with the setting. For instance the anniversary world boss jewelry is able to be double socketed by lvl 80s, but not by lower levels. So it's not a given that this will just work again in season 2.

Any dungeons right now (other than NW and Boralus) that drops ring where the socket setting would work?

All of the current M+ season instances are elligible for the upgrad, & the only one which ( most twinks ) we get into which drops rings is https://www.wowhead.com/zone=12916/the-necrotic-wake

Can you help me understand how to get into Siege of Boralus pre 50? I've tried everything.

Ive never actually went and gone in. But You have to be in a timeline I think. So you have to be in chromie time. And go there and zone in.

Anyone know why necrotic wake only drops level 50 gear for my level 11 warrior? I tried having an 80 join to get legacy loot enabled, which it did, but whether the 80 is inside the dungeon or not, and even solo the drops are level 50 only. The other dungeon spires of ascension shows ilvl 30 gear drops but in necrotic wake its all 225 ilvl level 50 stuff. I am on the shadowlands timeline as well.

My friend is running into the same issue, but we can't figure out what's causing it. I have a level 11 warrior that gets ilvl 30 drops from Necrotic Wake as expected (although I've only had a single ring drop for me in ~50 runs, which is a bit weird).
I skipped the SL intro, but did not skip the SL campaign once I reached Oribos. I completed the short Oribos quest chain: tour the city, meet the Arbiter, and activate the first flight path to Bastion.
My friend is on a fresh level 11 Dracthyr warrior. After activating SL Chromie Time, she began the Shadowlands intro chain, including The Maw. She somehow ended up in a completely empty Oribos (a known issue - see here). After fiddling around with Chromie Time and the Oribos portal in Orgrimmar a couple of times, she ended up in a functional version of Oribos, where she was able to immediately access all of the flight paths, choose a Covenant to aid, and so on. She receives Renown at the end of dungeons, can use Covenant abilities like Spear of Bastion, and see all of the World Quests. It sounds like she somehow activated Threads of Fate mode.
Now, whenever she runs Necrotic Wake, she receives ilvl 225 gear with a level 50 requirement. Even if we're both running the same instance, I'll receive ilvl 30 loot and she'll receive ilvl 225. I can trade her my ilvl 30 drops, but the inverse is not possible. Other than the ilvls being all wonked out, everything else seems to be scaling appropriately. On the world map, Bastion is a level 10-71 zone for her, as you'd expect from Chromie Time.
One other data point: she hopped onto a different twink, activated SL Chromie Time, and traveled to Bastion directly using the Wormhole Generator: Shadowlands toy, skipping any interaction with the Shadowlands intro altogether. That character is getting ilvl 30 drops as expected.
Sorry for the scattered explanation. There could be a few reasons that this is happening, but there might be some overlap with the fact that Shadowlands has been broken for the past couple of months, and that a partial fix was (supposedly?) implemented in 11.0.7.

Did your friend find a fix for this? Currently running into the same issue with my warrior.
Edit: Small world, I ran into your friend outside of Hellfire Ramparts and we talked about the issue. They have not found a resolution yet, but I told them about making a free trial acc and creating a character there to trade to their main twink.
We did try and queue for Necrotic Wake and still got lvl 50 gear that way.
Found out the free trial accounts can no longer trade.. think this happened sometime around panda remix (at the start of panda remix I was able to trade my gems to my free account and then back to another toon on the main, but this stopped working)
It's definitely got something to do with skipping the SL campaign. I created a new toon and started the SL Chromie Time, then took the portal to Oribos, then picked up SL Engineering allowing me to use the Wormhole to Bastion. Doing this lets you get level appropriate gear in the dungeon. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to revert the campaign skip.

I've made a new toon and tried again and it seems like skipping the campaign in SL might be causing the issue, at least for some people. I can skip the intro to SL just fine and still get proper ilvl gear, but if I skip the campaign altogether then it gives me the higher ilvl gear I can't use. I also have to be in SL chromie time to get the proper ilvl. I only ran into this issue because I accidentally dinged 12 on my main twink and had to reroll a new 11

Thank you for your detailed response. I think you may be correct. I made a monk, but it's level 10 and I skipped intro, but did Orbidos as you said until flight path unlocked and the dungeon drops ilvl 30 gear so that may have been the case, I skipped both on my warrior.
