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

[Volkmire]

I just got the blackfathom chest to proc. These stats are way better for some stupid reason. Might even be BIS

Yes, like Soothsaying Vest or Soothsayers's Harness. With BIS caster weapon confirmed to be BOE, consider it the first thing to check before reroll.

Got my first epic while questing in redridge.
Messner's Cuffs 7 stam 5 int 4 crit on a f2p 20.
Then i got 3 rare upgrades not worth keeping.
Still on the grind.

That weapon has always been epic. It can never not be epic.

yes .. the ilvl is different .. the stats are different .. it has more stats than previously

Because just like how lvl 20 stuff is now ilvl 26 instead of 23. Vanilla cap is now 62 instead of 58.

it's a scaled version and it scaled to the lowest level. you are level 49, it requires 50. the lowest that item can scale is 50.

so is there only 1 version of lvl50 with fixed ilvl62 .. or there are other lvl50 but with different ilvl ?

There is a lvl 50 with ilvl 55 if it dropped before 7.3.5.

there is the scaled version that as of now always goes +12 ilvl and there is the unscaled, now grandfathered, version.

 

[Merlin]

there is the scaled version that as of now always goes +12 ilvl and there is the unscaled, now grandfathered, version.

so meaning it can go up to as high as 55 (original ilvl) + 12 more ilvl = ilvl67 (max ilvl for this lvl50 item) ? if thats the case, then this ilvl62 i got isnt that good at all

No there is a ilvl cap for vanilla drops. Vanilla drops cap at req level 60 and the ilvl cap is now appearantly 72.

i was responding to a previous post asking if boss drops stuff that proc scale up item .. so it does not am i right ? if i am a lvl60, and the item will always drop as a ilvl72 from the boss .. it will not have any other ilvl right ?

Yes it will always be 72.

It's like 6 from your level for a rare and 6 more for an epic. At level 59 that weapon is ilvl 71.

1-60 "classic" general world drop BoE never got the bump, tho, for some reason. That's why all the ones you see on the AH are ilvl 58... but NOW there's some 59 items that are ilvl 71 BoE, because they drop from a unique mob (type?) which is what we're going on about now.

So in the pic below I have a 59 classic world drop BoE, a rare boss drop, an epic boss drop, and a new unique epic BoE:

edit- sorry, the world drops scale funny and weapons cap at level 58... but for level 47 to 60 BoE they ALL cap at ilvl 58.

Until now. Unique drops like the ones we're talking about apparently scale properly. (that leather chest)

So an epic foamspittle at level 59 should be ilvl 71. And a rare ilvl 65.

this is what ive gotten on sham so far. Just started alliance zones

Yeah I noticed a problem at low levels is that a lot of quest rewards don't have secondary stats on them and thus, if they upgrade, are still quite useless.

No secondaries is fine. Lots of bis items without secondaries, the problem is when they have the same primaries but no secondaries.
