Our question today at Ask WoW Insider concerns tiered gear and where to get it. Candide from Hallowed Arcana on Farstriders writes: "So as a new lvl 60, (Actually to 61 now)I have no tiered gear. Whats worse is I have no idea where to start. Do I need teir 1 through 5 gear before I can get teir 6? I have been playing WoW for a year now, but actual time played is only something like 20 days so in most things I am still a noob. My guild is usually very friendly and helpful but they are all working the run to 70 while im limping along at 61.The whole tiered armor concept can be daunting to new players -- can you help Candide sort it out?
Can you please expalin to me what gear I should look for, what tiered gear is, and where to get it.
Blizzard has put up official info on the new PvP set updates on their armor sets page (just select the PvP superior or PvP epic set from the pull-down menu on the right). We will see these new sets up on the live realms after the 1.11 content patch. This does make the PvP sets look less shabby in comparison to the PvE options, and hopefully further planned PvP improvements planned for 1.12 will make matters even better for those that prefer PvP content.
Blizzard has updated
the official site with a page
for the new Tier 1 & Tier 2 Raid Armor sets, so all of you
can put down your Twinkies & go drool over them for a half-hour, or however long it takes you. Since I know this is
probably the only time I will ever get a good up-close look at these armor sets, I might just take a little longer.
Shadow's Edge has pics of the new AQ armor sets up on their website. I was excited until I
realized that they were reused and they looked rushed and unfinished. Oh well, that's what they look like right now,
and hopefully they will be updated in short order.
Blizzard has put the quest rewards
for the Brood of Nozdormu up on the main site. I for one am very excited, because there is some excellent defense
gear in there for Warriors, to help us reach that elusive 420 defense. Also, the armor from that set looks halfway
cool, a quality which has been somewhat lacking for Warriors lately. This isn't that important on regular servers, but
for those of us on RPPVP servers it helps us to get into character. There isn't much in the way of resistances, but
there are other armor sets for that.
