    Lmao. Dragonflight world quests don't even give you high enough ilevel gear to get into the entry tier raid. Good thing I queued as my 391 DK while I still could and got my Bronze Bullion.

    I mean WQ alone give you 450-463 from my experience. On top of that most outdoor activities give you a chest of storm which gives 480. If you are below 463 you aren't even trying at this point.

    Plus if you do timewalking dungeons and timewalking raid thats two additional items at 493.

    So spam normals and heroics to get 463? Do you have social anxiety?

    So, what ilvl do you think they drop at, let's compare that to the reality.

    When we get that out of the way we can talk about heroic dungeon drops, lol.

    Wrong. If you are one of the unlucky ones who got a 441 Curio from your TBC TW cache, all you can do with it is DELETE. They haven't sent a replacement box either if you got that item (specially after the hotfix went live, that item was still bugged).

    Put in a ticket, if you got fucked and got a bugged reward you should have gotten a replacement chest.

    Given he’s only 391, they drop around the same ilvl don’t they?

    These are kind of ignorant comments. 1st, I don't expect how a returning player, returning to check out the last patch and all it's catch up mechanisms, could be 463. So, that would be one reason why. Also, this is one of the many reasons why retail sucks. It causes very confusing scenarios like this one (world quest loot ilvl rewards), that is causing confusion with you two and the OP.

    The item level of world quest loot rewards is based on your current item level. So, a 391 ilvl DK would see different rewards than higher item level players. Unfortunately, it's buggy as hell (see links below). Right now, I logged onto a level 70 alt with 310 item level, and saw plenty of 450 and 460 rewards. Cool. Then I logged into another level 70 with 362 ilvl and only saw 420-ish ilvl rewards!

    So, I have the same experience as the OP on my low ilvl toons. Retail has turned into a thing where they try to cater to everyone's personal progression path. If my personal path preference was world quests, I could see how it could be confusing how I would get myself into LFR.

    In simpler times, gear was gear. ICC 25 man dropped 264 ilvl loot. Period. Done. Nothing changed that. Now, it's just throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks and boom, that's the ilvl of gear you'll get.

    Ive said this so many times in the past couple days here. You get GIFTED 5-6 pieces of 480 gear and two pieces of 493 gear. one for world content the other for timewalking weekly. AND timewalking gives 467 ilvl gear. Pls pls pls understand the game and what it has to offer before complaining

    Ignorance is not justification for rambling like a fool a simple wowhead guide could have shown all this if the time was taken to do any sort of search hooooooly

    Welcome to the days where people want to be able to get gear from more sources then just raid.
    Welcome to the days of Timewalking, Mythic dungeons, Mythic +, And soon Scenarios. More PVE content that you can do if you wish to, but really don't need to.

    First problem is you are assuming an awful of things without actually checking most things out. Let's analyze your scenario. I'll address the 463 issue in the other quote.

    So when I stated the 454-463 ilvl I was admittedly looking at my 476 paladin at the time, but to double check if I was crazy. I logged into an alt that is 381 and upon opening the map the greens were 454 and blues were 463. So even for a 391 in his example he would still see those two ilvls which are massive upgrades alone. There was one 457 and one 460, but the range 454-463 was still correct.

    Next we can mention how there is a weekly quest in Valdrakken that everyone knows about because they even point you to it when you ding 70. It has you do 3 weekly events and when you do those they award a cache that gives a guaranteed 480 for a total of 4 once you turn the weekly in. The only one that would take some figuring out that it gives one is the current World Boss in Thald.

    I mean it's not confusing at all. Go out, do usual activities that give gear. So let's our options here.

    World Quests - 454 - 463
    Normal Dungeons - 460 (And you can even run them with followers if you want)
    Heroic Dungeons - 476
    5x Cache of Storms - 480 each (Feast, Hunt, Siege, Weekly, Dreamsurge)

    I'm not sure if you get the Blue and Green Hunt chest if it will give you a cache too as I stop after the epic. If they do those are 2 more which you could honestly afk on.

    This does not include things like time limited events (Timewalking), if you pug a Normal+ raid, have existing gear, crafted gear (you can get a spark this week for up to 502 piece) or even upgrading the gear itself.

    I just ran my priest who was 415 and is now at 453 and that's with only doing WB, Feast and the WQ's in ZC (as they had gear upgrades). I could get higher but again that's with me barely putting in any effort at all (like 30 maybe 40 minutes) worth of work. If you can't get to 463 this week then you really aren't try which is fine not everyone is going to try to go fast but it is possible with probably ~2 hours worth of work if you are starting fresh which isn't bad.

    Basically play the game and you can get there easily.

    Yeah, it is such a terrible thing for them to give players different levels of loot and allow them to upgrade them so they can feel some sense of progression (which *gasp* people have been asking for since it is a RPG). You can also do various forms of content and not rely on trying to pug something just to get a higher ilvl and have some form of choice.

    Dungeons / Raids always have a minimum guaranteed ilvl. For instance, heroic is 476 no matter what unless it procs an upgrade. I think there might be an item or two that has a slightly higher base ilvl but you can upgrade the other pieces to it easily so it just saves stones.

    Yeah, I just didn't mention those since they aren't up every week and just wanted to show with guaranteed sources.
