WoW TWW Gearing Up Guide – Get Up to 590+ Item Level

As countless adventurers achieve maximum level in The War Within expansion, the focus shifts decisively toward optimizing equipment progression. While initial upgrade opportunities remain somewhat restricted during the first fortnight, securing superior item levels immediately provides significant advantages for Season 1 preparation. Content creator Kelani’s comprehensive gearing methodology demonstrates achievable paths to 590+ item level thresholds through systematic approaches we’ll explore thoroughly.

Understanding the foundational upgrade mechanics proves essential for efficient gearing. Nearly all acquired equipment pieces can undergo enhancement at designated upgrade vendors. The interface clearly displays progression ceilings, Valorstone requirements, and specific Crest types needed for each upgrade tier.

Valorstones function as the primary currency facilitating gear improvements, obtainable through virtually all endgame activities. Dungeon running typically represents the most reliable Valorstone farming method for players with extensive available time. Regarding Crest acquisition: Weathered Crests originate from outdoor content and Heroic dungeons; Carved Crests derive from weekly caches and special events; Runed and Gilded Crests emerge predominantly from seasonal content including elevated raid difficulties and Mythic+ progression.

Players possessing substantial TWW gold reserves can leverage auction house markets for immediate gear acquisition. Numerous Bind on Equip items around 560 item level remain consistently affordable throughout most market fluctuations. Explorer-grade 560 equipment additionally upgrades to 580 when processed through enhancement vendors.

Kelani’s ingenious cross-realm economic tactic involves utilizing the Warband Bank system for seamless gear transportation. For instance, if your home realm suffers from inflated prices due to low population density, transfer gold to your Warband Bank, establish an alt character on high-population servers like Area 52, purchase economically priced equipment, then transfer acquisitions across faction and server boundaries effortlessly.

Dungeon completion currently represents one of the most straightforward gear acquisition methods. Normal difficulty instances reward 554 item level equipment, while Heroic dungeons provide 571 gear (escalating to 580 post-season launch). The 571 Heroic dungeon acquisitions upgrade to 593 through sufficient Valorstone and Weathered Crest investment. Fortunately, Heroic dungeons simultaneously generate substantial quantities of both upgrade currencies, making repeated clears exceptionally productive for dedicated gear progression.

An alternative pathway to 590 item level equipment exists with dramatically reduced Crest expenditures. Exchange 30 Weathered Harbinger Crests with Enchanting Supplies vendors for Nascent Weathered Harbinger Crests. Enchanting specialists subsequently transform these into Enchanted Weathered Harbinger Crests. Enchanters can perform this conversion independently; otherwise, initiate crafting orders for the enchanted variants. Incorporate these enchanted crests into optional reagent slots during blue-quality recipe crafting, elevating resulting equipment to 590 item level contingent upon crafting rank achievement.

Securing rank five crafting outcomes yields straightforward 590 gear requiring merely 30 Weathered Crests plus enchanting materials. Comparatively, upgrading 571 gear to 593 demands approximately 600 Valorstones and 60 Weathered Crests, making the crafting approach substantially more resource-efficient.

Importantly, initial crafting attempts needn’t achieve maximum rank immediately. Accept lower-tier results temporarily, then commission recrafts once your profession capabilities improve. Avoid overspending tens of thousands of gold prematurely for marginal rank improvements, since recrafting eliminates expensive material requirements.

Spark of Omens constitutes an exceptionally valuable crafting component for elevating crafted equipment quality. These sparks power Epic recipe executions, and rank five crafted results yield monumental 606 item level pieces that significantly accelerate progression.

Acquiring complete Sparks of Omens requires combining two Fragmented Sparks with Valorstones. Secure one Fragmented Spark weekly through the Call of the Worldsoul quest in Dornogal. This assignment provides four completion options, allowing personal preference selection. Maintain consistent weekly quest completion to ensure uninterrupted spark accumulation.

A unique quest adjacent to the Catalyst in Dornogal demands one fragment while rewarding two fragments, though this opportunity occurs only once. Therefore, submit your initial fragment through this special quest to obtain your first complete Spark for crafting exceptional equipment.

Throughout the season, this crafted gear becomes upgradeable to 636 item level, representing tremendously potent equipment with extensive upgrade potential that won’t require replacement.

The Call of the Worldsoul Weekly Quest additionally provides cache rewards containing valuable gear improvements. Your initial two caches include Adventurer-grade 574 equipment, upgradeable to 593. Post-Season 1 launch, these caches distribute Veteran gear instead, approximately 584 item level, making them considerably more valuable during the active season.

Additional caches become available through participation in various weekly zone events: The Theater Troupe in Dornogal, Awakening the Machine in Ringing Deeps, and Spreading the Light in Hallowfall. Furthermore, engage with the Pacted feature in Azj-Kahet for another cache opportunity.

Crucially, your first four weekly cache openings grant four Restored Coffer Keys essential for premium Delves rewards. Solo-oriented players should prioritize these four activities. Subsequent caches beyond the fourth still provide Valorstones and Carved Crests, remaining worthwhile for additional open-world engagement.

Delves represent endgame activities completable solo or grouped, offering valuable rewards without time restrictions, ideal for both independent players and small parties. Delve conclusions feature treasure chests containing various items including Valorstones and Weathered Crests, providing excellent alternatives to Heroic dungeon farming.

Standard Delves provide mediocre gear rewards. Superior equipment originates exclusively from Bountiful Delves, enhanced versions offering additional rewards. Bountiful instances feature superior baseline loot plus locked chests requiring Restored Coffer Keys for premium gear acquisition. Reward quality escalates with Delve tier completion, with tier three representing the current pre-season maximum, yielding 571 gear equivalent to Heroic dungeons. Consequently, key expenditure on current Delves remains inadvisable. Heroic dungeon running proves substantially more effective presently. Preserve Coffer keys for elevated Delve tiers post-Season 1 commencement. Clearing tier eight Bountiful Delves during TWW Season 1 rewards 603 equipment from these chests, representing the pinnacle Delves acquisition. Additionally, tier eight Delve completion enables 616 gear acquisition through Weekly Vault rewards.

World Quests offer supplementary gear rewards for dungeon-averse players. Most rewards approximate 560 item level, though occasional rare World quests offer 571 rewards. Daily map inspection reveals active World Quests and their respective rewards for selective completion.

Various Renown reward tracks provide additional high-item-level equipment options. Achieving Renown level six with Severed Threads or level eight with Assembly of the Deeps enables purchase of 571 or 584 gear contingent upon faction affiliation.
