Random stats again?
Just when I thought we were away from that. I hope they fix the RNG then.
I don’t know how much wasted time and resources I spent on creating random stat gear in Cataclysm. But I can tell you this, it was so much I completely gave up on that gear. Sure, it was on to level Leatherworking on those items, but when someone would ask me to make a specific item, I’d tell them we need five to ten times the amount of the mats listed. And sometimes that wasn’t enough!
There have been scores of times that I have tried to make just one hunter item, only to make ten Shammy items in a row. Completely useless. Won’t even sell for close what the time and cost in mats are.
This forced me to another gearing solution….
PvP. Yep, it was a hell of a lot faster and cheaper to gear up to item level 390 PvP gear, than to try to make that random stat crap. Yes, crap. Comparing that gear to the PvP gear that random stat gear was ridiculously underpowered.
It doesn’t take long to get a new 85 complelty geared, in a couple of ways. First, if you are still leveling, do PvP even if you don’t think you can. Just put all of those name callers on /ignore and go out there. You will even level doing this. In certain Battle Grounds you will even get more than enough XP to level once. I think in Alterac Valley I received enough XP at one time to go from 10% on one level to actually level and have gone to over 50% on the next level as well! All for playing in just one battleground!
So at lower levels the amount of Honor Points gained looks trivial, 90 points here, 45 the rest of the day. But they add up fast. And once you hit level 74, you can begin doing daily quests for Honor Points. In Grizzly Hills there are four quests that give 50 honor each. That’s 200 per day! Then at level 75 you can get into Wintergrasp and earn another 189 honor (for winning) every 2 1/2 hours.
Doing this you will quickly hit the honor cap of 4,000. You don’t really have anything to spend it on at lower levels. There is some gear available at levels 60 and 70, but you really don’t need to bother with it, unless you just really want it. You will however. Need to do something with that HP so you can get more. So you trade it for Justice Points.
A PvP vendor in Stormwind will convert 375 HP into 250 JP. Yes, it’s at a loss, but in this way you get to store it somewhere to over come the 4000 cap. Keep earning HP and converting it to JP until you cap JP at 4000, then continue to get HP capped again.
When you hit 85, you can spend that 4000 honor on some great PvP gear, and convert those JP back into honor points. That 4k of JP converts back the same way, 375 for 250, yes another loss, but that’s the cost of saving it, for about anther 2500 or so HP. All this gets you several level 390 gear pieces. It way out performs any of the crafted gear you can get, and way cheaper. It also counts toward your item level to get into randoms.
Second, you can gear up a current level 85 character pretty quickly. I spent a weekend doing nothing but battlegrounds. I was able to completely gear my hunter in two complete sets of gear this way. Second set being enchanted and gem’d for soloing raids and such. Just keep queuing for the BG that is on its “Call to Arms” for the weekend. And queue up for Tol Barad every chance you get. You can easily get 600 honor from that one for a win, as well as the 200 for its weekly win quest. And don’t forget to get Wintergrasp. On my server Wintergrasp starts 15 minutes after Tol Barad, sometime I can do both, sometimes Tol Barad outlasts Wintergrasp. But try to get them.
Random stat crafted items. No thank you Blizzard, that’s just crap.
