This season starts with major changes to the gearing process. Gearing in The War Within season 2 might be overwhelming for active players, let alone for comeback Warcraft seniors, so we’ll try to lay out everything nicely for ya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lonely wolves of the season are in for a treat, solo adventurers will have a fair share of higher item level gear and crests, but if you’re a sociable butterfly, do not fret, in general everyone will be able to get great gear pieces<\/strong> in season 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wherever you get them from, you can up them to higher item levels. So we’ll start with getting the War Within gear<\/a>, then the Valorstones currency and four different types of Crests for reaching maximum item level. There are six upgrade tracks<\/strong> in total and they overlap each other about halfway through. Let’s say you get an item with 639 level, it’s a piece of Champion gear<\/strong> and it’s 2\/8 on the track. We’ll be increasing its item level and power as we go. But you shouldn’t ever really see a piece of gear drop at 5\/8, they would instead be 1\/8 on the next track up, giving you way more potential. Getting 1\/8 Champion gear lets you upgrade it way further than Veteran gear<\/strong>, getting 1\/6 Hero gear<\/strong> is one step closer to the Myth gear<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next step in Season 2 is getting Valorstones <\/strong>and crests<\/strong>. Valorstones come from taking part in basically any endgame activity \u2014 running Delves, dungeons, raids, weekly world events, participating in PVP season<\/a>, you can even find them while digging through the Undermine. As long as you’re alive and kicking you’re good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crests are a different story, the higher the level of the piece that you’re trying to upgrade, the higher the tier of Crests is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
