We plan to then run a week of Comp Stomp starting Tuesday (Dec. 3).

Sorry for the mix-up!

Wat.

lol characters must be level 120 to use the tokens, which are only 12 ilvls higher than 388 warforged anniversary for 119s.

I think that 120-only benthic BoA stuff is only 385 or something like that, that was pretty easy to get too. I think it's just ilvl padding so fresh 120 can get into raids and stuff... tho not sure they should be able to right at 120 lol.

I fucking know right

part of me was hoping for ilvl 400 azerite armor for 119, but I'd hate it if all my hard-earned shiny anniversary gear was also replaced by measly blues lol.

The fresh 120s give us the authentic raiding experience
