Gearing in WoW Cataclysm Classic Guide

Okay, so the Gearing Guide. To be honest, it’s always tough to write a Gearing guide for WoW Cataclysm Classic, for obvious reasons. Basically, we’re all playing the same way— Dungeon Finder until we hit 85, then Heroic Dungeon Finder until we collect all pre-raid gear with a hit cap. When it’s raid time, grab the Best in Slot gear with enough spell hit for WoW Cataclysm Classic. Repeat until you’re the biggest badass in Azeroth.

Even if you’re just looking for PvP gearing in the WoW Cataclysm Classic guide, it all seems much simpler. Play battlegrounds to earn honor, play Rated Battlegrounds to earn conquest, buy gear. That’s it. Sounds pretty simple, right? But as I started this Gearing guide, I realized that many people play solo or don’t engage in classical activities. And of course, if you’re aiming for the First Realm achievement, Best in Slot raid or pre-raid gear won’t cut it—you’ll need some reputation gear too. There are so many hidden nuances in the grass, which is why I’ve decided to write a revamped Gearing guide for World of Warcraft— Cataclysm Classic, where you’ll learn about:

1. What the best gear is for leveling.
2. Why you must check the Auction House.
3. Why you need to visit the Blacksmith for an extra slot in your waist.
4. How often you should spam the Dungeon Finder system.
5. What about reputation buffs for your shoulders?
6. Should you bring PvP gear into raids?

And many other little and bigger tricks for your progress in WoW Cataclysm Classic. Also, bear in mind that this guide isn’t just a simple one; it’s a comprehensive bundle for Cataclysm Classic starters, where you can learn about:

How to gear in Cataclysm — basics

When we’re talk about how to gear in cataclysm, there’re some classical questions from newbies, like what the hell is the hit rating, and what of hit rating I need as I’m mage, or as I’m a fury warrior. Or what ilvl can I expect as the pre-raid gear? So, catch some of these. In cause EpicCarry, glad to provide you the best info about gearing 😉

How To Gear in the cataclysm classic — strategy

Ok, as it the gear guide, I’ll put it all in the step-by-step instruction. Which is pass as for new players, and for the Alts. So, let’s start to do it in the right order, and the first step will be — Gearing for the cataclysm leveling

Step 1 —Heilrooms&Old-raid Gear

1. Heirlooms— If you’ve got ’em, great! Heirlooms will make leveling easier. Just focus on replacing them as you go.
2. ICC Gear— Still rocking some Lich King loot? Keep those pieces as long as the stats are solid. They’ll serve you well until replaced with Cataclysm gear.

Step 2— Auction House & Quest Rewards

1. AH Shopping Spree— Look for reasonable prices on solid leveling greens/blues. Some quest rewards get outdone by cheap AH gear.
2. Quest Rewards— Pay attention to rewards while questing through Hyjal, Vashj’ir, Deepholm, Uldum, and Twilight Highlands. Grab items that cater to your class’s stat weights.

Step 3— Normal Dungeons

1. Queue up for Normals— Start with Blackrock Caverns and Throne of the Tides via LFG. Get the gear drops and quest rewards.
2. Grind More Dungeons— Move to Lost City of the Tol’vir, Grim Batol, and Vortex Pinnacle. Equip upgrades like there’s no tomorrow.

Step 4— Heroics & Justice Points

1. Hit Random Heroics— Once you’ve got a decent item level, hop into heroics via LFG. Ascendant Lord Obsidius and General Husam are waiting!
2. Farm Justice Points— Stock up on JP and spend ’em on those delicious pre-raid gear upgrades at Stormwind City or Orgrimmar vendors.

Step 5— Starter Raids & Valor Points

1. Baradin’s Wardens/Hellscream’s Reach— Grind out those dailies at Tol Barad for sweet rep gear.
2. Reputation Grinds:
   • Guardians of Hyjal— Shoulders enchant.
   • Therazane— Get those shoulder enchants, buddy!
   • Earthen Ring & Dragonmaw Clan/Wildhammer Clan— Various gear slots.
3. Starter Raids— Begin your raiding adventure with Baradin Hold, Bastion of Twilight, Blackwing Descent, and Throne of the Four Winds. Don’t worry if you get some bad luck on loot drops – keep grinding.
4. Valor Points— Farm these from raids and weekly quests for tier sets and other gear upgrades.

Step 6— Reputation Items

1. Grind Reputations— Equip yourself with awesome rep gear:
   • Guardians of Hyjal— Cloak and leather items.
   • Therazane— Shoulder enchants.
   • Earthen Ring— Mail caster gear and trinkets.
   • Dragonmaw/Wildhammer— Neck and weapons.
   • Baradin’s Wardens/Hellscream’s Reach— Trinkets, belts, and boots.

Auction house — your friend for pre raid gear

AH – your one-stop-shop for pre-raid gear in Classic Cataclysm. You can snag blue gear at a reasonable price, and if your pockets are deep enough, you can save some time by grabbing BoE Epics. Don’t make the bad idea of skipping the AH entirely. Use it to replace those outdated pieces!
