Official Epic Upgrade Bragging Thread (Warning: Jealousy/Salt)

Kracks said:
Each different vers bg wep /offhand counts as a step up from foam because of the 6 int offhand chant. Each variation should count as a different option.

Option 1: Keep praying for RNG to hit the sweet spot on your BG crate gear for whatever versatility break point you're looking for; with countless multiple tries because of many different suffixes. Too many variables for you to get both MH & OH with pure Versatility within a realistic time window.

Option 2: Grind an item with the highest available Versatility with only 3 variables: Uncommon, Rare, Epic.

As far as modes of acquisition go: Foamspittle is still your 2nd best option. Especially since the two are not mutually exclusive, and you can grind for 1 while waiting for BGs to pop in hopes of getting the other.

Shout out to the real ones who still have their entire ilvl sets in their banks because you can never be too safe

What’s more fun? Farming thru pvp or killing Murlocs. It is not worth it to farm foam now unless u genuinely like to farm murlocs all day. Not worth it at all even if it was 2nd bis

That part just comes down to personal preference. I'd rather farm foam all day instead of sitting in GS and talking to the insufferable people that duel there all day. The boiled clams are nice because you can make them as a vet so you can store the meat in the reagent bank and make them as you need instead of having a ton of soup taking up precious bag space.

I hate to be doing nothing inbetween queues so I try to find something to do on my priest or on my 2nd acc so I can have multiple projects going at the same time

still not worth the farm if its only bis for fc set (which is rarely necessary in this bracket) imo. and the og argument was that people were saying foam was bis overall which it isn't.

My 2x woodworking gloves cost me like 50g when they weren't any better than serpent's gloves in cata (then scaling came out). My Bwb cost me like 5g back in cata because you lost health equipping it now they go for quite a lot and are best is slot for casters.

Across the respective xpacs this forward thinking probably saved me at least a few million gold plus swag set items like walking boots, gob mail leggings x3, black pearl ring, and defias rapier (also all obtained years ago for next to nothing) that go for silly amounts to collectors.

A more recent example, I farmed every adaptable blue piece of gear I could this xpac (in preparation for the potential for a level squish) and have a full blue set of armor that is magically bis for ret now, outside of the ret ring I have a perfect ret set.

I'm sure there's more examples I can think of and if we check back next xpac I'm sure I can list more but the point ultimately remains the same. Forward thinking has its benefits.

I'm going to laugh at everyone when they bring back gear scaling and my ilvl 21 slitherscale set that's been sitting in the bank for years is suddenly God tier.

Well I’m not planning on deleting my foam. I’m just saying it’s not worth farming it now that’s it’s not bis for the chance for it to be bis in the future. But if u like doing that kind of stuff like collecting items that’s a whole other thing. It’s just not bis rn which was the og argument

Well then I'll add one more point; the adaptable grind is far far worse and RNG dependant than the grind for the staff. I grinded out 45 honour levels to get the full set of blue armor and only saw one or two weps/shields (unfortunately they were also green) in the hundreds and hundreds of crates I opened (easily has to be upwards of 500 crates) and I know many that are in the same boat to a lesser degree.

You might get lucky and get them super fast and maybe I'm just incredibly unlucky, but the fact remains I dont think I've seen anyone else that has a full set of blue adaptable armor let alone wep/offhand/shield and some armor. The staff may not be bis but at least its reasonably obtainable. Have fun on your new grind sir!

im not playing bgs just to farm adaptable lmao. I actually enjoy pvp unlike the majority of this bracket apparently. If I get it, I get it, but ill use my foam in the meantime or probably aurora MH, OH if I get it before. I honestly don't really care if I ever get adaptable MH/OH, but that doesn't change the fact that they r bis. I just know that I won't be farming foam again while bg mh/oh are better.

How far down are you thinking they're thinking they messed up? Very cautious about low-level access being an "Oops!" as well...
