Hopefully people will actually DO the rares while they're empowered...The ones in ZC still suck this late on. "Significantly increased health" from a decently challenging but still soloable point from launch rares doesn't fill me with hope. They really gotta work out a system to adjust the rares to be soloable if no one else is around.And no, the group finder isn't a solution.
So its the same as ZC gear? Both cap out at 424 realistically.
I like the alt catch up stuff but want things to do on my main. Is the gear created from these tokens unique in appearance?
But then it's not "farmable ilvl 437" gear, as unless the activity gives wyrm crests for any non raiding/m+ alt it caps out at 424, same as ZC/Time rift gear.
And the thing is, it would have been interesting if you could at least get Champion gear from the buffed up rares instead of silly tokens; Dragonflight covers pretty much every slot from the rotation rares and also has several interesting weapons with cantrips drop. Getting that storm drake bow in a Champion version would have been much more interesting than yet another recolor of 10.1 gear (I assume this will be the green version of the 10.1 armor which has been milked to death with all these patches).
415 gear isn't catch-up gear, it's gear available right now in easy content on a fresh char.Looks like blizzard is just scared casuals might actually have gear one day.
I think it's the last set for 10.1.x We got the1- Red set (fryaak assault)-10.1 2- Blue set (world quests) -10.13- Black set (campaign) -10.14- "Void touched" set (zalarek Cavren treasures and rares)-10.15- Bronze set (time rifts) -10.1.56- "infinite touched" set (dawn of the infinite)-10.1.5So, I think the 7th and the last one would be the Green Set (dreamsurge events) -10.1.7Who knows.
So we can get gear that's effectively upgradable to 424, since people who can get wyrm crests are higher up the ladder anyway, and people who are half trying (Even if only world content and LfR like me) are full 424 already, so it's a "catch-up" that doesn't really help anybody.
You only need to do m+ 11 to get wyrm fragments. That’s insanely easy even for alts at 424 or less. I don’t understand why everyone in this thread is complaining about gear being capped. It’s not. Just play the game.
I love catch up content. 10.0.7 was my favourite patch so far. I just wish they came sooner or lasted longer. This particular catchup comes out while I'll be busy playing Starfield...
nice, finally something easy, intuitive and not cringe to get gear on alts
Is the weekly account wide quest? Like the Time rifts one
Seems like a cool catch up event. I especially like the part where leveling xp is increased in a different zone every week, gives you a reason to level in all the zones if you are leveling alts. As for ilvl of the catch up gear it's perfectly fine, people who want wyrm crests to drop from open world content are crazy. Even in Forbidden Reach max ilvl you could get from catch up gear was 395 which is normal raid ilvl. That is enough for a catch up, with that ilvl you can start doing actual endgame stuff on a new character and you can easily get into new patch content when it comes out. End of the season or not you don't deserve mythic ilvl for being afk in these events or by killing some mindless rares, get that out of your heads.
