Mythic Dungeon loot starts at 840; we have strategy guides to all of these dungeons. Court of Stars and The Arcway have notable Mythic 2-piece itemsets.

World Quests are a new max-level quest system. There is a small chance these quests will reward gear; the rewards start at ilvl 805 and progressively better ones are available as your ilvl increases.

Crafted Gear: The best crafted gear starts at ilvl 815 after completing a long questline. This can be upgraded to 850 via the Obliterum Forge and Obliterum, which is created by incinerating old crafted gear.

Class Hall Set: Each piece of the Class Hall set is acquired by completing Legion Content, such as killing dungeon bosses or earning reputation. Each piece has a fixed ilvl between 810 and 850, and players can purchase upgrade tokens so eventually the full set can reach 840 (with shoulders at 850).

World Bosses are up at launch, when their corresponding World Quest is up. They drop 850 loot; after raids open, they will drop 860 loot.

Reputation Gear: There are ilvl 820 items at Revered and ilvl 850 items at Exalted. Nightfallen reputation also has a few more items at Friendly and Revered.

Legendaries are ilvl 895 world drops and come with a powerful effect which transforms one of your spec abilities. You can only equip one at launch.

Acquiring and Spending Order Resources: You will need this currency to progress in Order Advancement, Artifact Knowledge, Missions, and more.

Order Advancement Tech Tree and Rewards: This system has six tiers, allowing you to pick between abilities that buff your Class Hall. It culminates in Tier 6 with an ability that lets you equip two legendaries at once. There are also some interesting Tier 2 abilities along the way, which reward hidden artifact appearances, toys, and pets!

Legion Class Hall Overview: Originally written back in the alpha when Class Halls were instead Order Halls, we've given this guide a fresh coat of paint with updated locations to all the class halls, how to acquire the Class Hall Set, videos of each Class Hall, and a list of all the unique things to do in your Class Hall like speccing your Artifact.

Comment by lankybritAwesome stuff. Shouldn't your Gearing guide be in the Misc Guide section, where all the other gearing guides are?Comment by perculiaYeah, good idea.Comment by CormanthyrJackmerius Tacktheritrix, Michigan State UniversityComment by aernathAwesome guide again, thanks a lot! ^^
If it won't be too much of a problem, can you also add PvP and what certain PvP action gives, as an alternate gearing source?Comment by FilipseRNG ROULETTE GEARING GO! (..... i hate rng boxxes ^~^)Comment by TredainRNG ROULETTE GEARING GO! (..... i hate rng boxxes ^~^)Comment by Sielinthi'm only mildly surprised they still haven't changed the order hall amour requirements for half the set

unless you live in a bubble, by the time you reach the required rep level for a particular piece of gear it will be outdated from the various sources you have access to (dungeons, world quest, world boss, maybe LFR depending on when you start leveling the toon).

the reputation requirements should have been dropped a tier (revered becomes honored etc) or changed entirely to be something else (various milestone of the order hall campaign for example) but blizzard has selective hearing on feedback as usualComment by StrikeesThe item description makes it even better!Comment by deathslovertotal random question but what is the item in the picture for the link to this page. i think the item looks awesome and i would love to try to get my hands on it in game?Comment by 976174Key and PeeleComment by AKPlayerHey @perculia or anyone that can answer this one about Legendary Gear...

Main is a Mistweaver Monk having to run around as a Windwalker (Because it would take 9x longer to kill anything).

IF - big IF I should get a Legendary piece of gear while in Windwalker SPEC (Not my main spec)... does it CONVERT to the healing version of gear when I respec? Could I put a ticket in to have it permanently changed?

I hate being forced to DPS, but Blizz just didn't make it realistic to run around as a healer doing the quests unless in a group (Which most things don't need a group).

I'm already having to convert my SPEC each time to healer when I open any chests, but I'm also concerned the loot might be assigned to the SPEC when I obtained them. Might start shifting to healer SPEC near the end of the 4th quest for Daily World Quests.

I know this seems like a dumb question, but it really does feel like this approach to game play is the only option. (If anyone knows differently please PM me)
