Gear guide to get ready for Karazhan
by Bearach | 09/04/2008 13:37:46 "Am I ready for Karazhan?" The question keeps popping so yet another gear guide, maybe it'll help someone. I stuck to stuff that's easily quested or crafted, without entering heroics and through minimal instancing. This is a guide, I'm not providing a dozen options for every slot but tried to stick to best-in-slot blues. There may be better options for some slots but follow this and your gear will be fine to start Karazhan. Head: Stalker's Helmet of Second Sight http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31106 from a quest chain that starts here http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10642. Ignore the socket bonus and fill up with agility gems, enchant with the Glyph of Ferocity (requires Revered with Cenarion Expedition) Neck: Natasha's Choker http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31695 from a quest chain in Blade's Edge Mountains that starts here http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10810 Shoulders: No good quest option here so Beast Lord Mantle http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27801 from Warlord Kalithresh, the end boss in The Steamvault. Gem with agility/hit in the yellow slot and agility in the red slot if you want the stamina bonus. Pretty much the best blue shoulders from PvE, if you like PvP go for the Gladiator Spaulders http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28333. Make sure you put an Inscription on them from your Aldor or Scryer rep. Back: Delicate Green Poncho http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28032 from the Bring Me The Egg! quest in Nagrand http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10111 for a nice item for little effort. The hit rating will be invaluable when raiding. Enchant with +12 agility (Greater Agility, materials are 1 Greater Planar Essence, 4 Arcane Dust and 1 Primal Air) Chest: The easiest is probably Felstalker Breastplate http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25696 practically any leatherworker can make it, just need to grind those 8 Primal Air, gem up with all agility unless you care about the bonus. New option is the drop from Kael'thas in Magister's Terrace, Hauberk of the Warbringer http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34799 which is easily better. Enchant with +6 to all stats (Exceptional Stats, mats are fairly hefty at 4 Large Prismatic Shards, 4 Greater Planar Essence and 4 Arcane Dust). Wrists: Get a pair of Felstalker Bracers http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25697 for quick and easy, however the PvP option Vindicator's Chain Bracers http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33876 is significantly better. Enchant with +24 attack power (Assault, materials are 6 Arcane Dust). Hands: Beast Lord Handguards http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27474 from the end boss in Shattered Halls. As ever, there's the PvP option though the gloves are lackluster. Enchant with +26 attack power (Assault, materials are 8 Arcane dust) for now, that'll do until you get something better. Waist: Felstalker Belt http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25695 is pretty decent. For those who enjoy PvP, Vindicator's Chain Girdle http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33877 is excellent, also for PvE. Legs: Scaled Greaves of Patience http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27430 from the second boss in Old Hillsbrad, gem with agility in all slots and stick a Cobrahide Leg Armor http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29533 on for PvE. Feet: Duro Footgear http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30273 from the quest Rightful Repossession in Netherstorm http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10267 are surprisingly good and dps-wise pretty much on par with the level 70 blue drops, so might as well use them until a raid or heroic drop. Stick a +10 stamina armor kit on since these boots are placeholders. Fingers: Slayer's Mark of the Redemption http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31077 from a SMV group-quest chain that starts with the solo-able http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10750 If you're Aldor you can get Kaylaan's Signet http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30860 with the same stats from a short group-quest chain that starts with http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10407. Trinkets: Got bored here, maybe I'll finish this some other time. Melee: See above. Ranged: See above. *edit* fixed link, thanks Urmand. [ Post edited by Bearach ] |
