    Fastest way to get higher ilvl? Stuck at 210

    Mythic+ or raid the new raid

    The fastest way is probably to buy gold through the WoW Token and buy raid boosts. You may have to put in a few hours of overtime at work to pay for it but it's the most efficient method.

    Mythic +, raiding, pvp (unrated conquest gear up to 220), Korthia rep and gear (rank 4 codex lets you upgrade to 220, rank 6 to 233)

    In other words, everything you do will grant you gear fairly quickly.
    M+ especially.

    Any content ? 210 is literally garbage tier gear. Any actual PVE or PVP content will give you better gear.

    For a couple thousand just craft your own 230 gear and put the stats you want on it an then walk away..

    I had to check the date to make sure it was for 9.1 and not 9.0. isn't LFR gear 213? Do that. Don't dailies give you 232? Do that too. All you have to do is play the game.

    Spam M+ 15 in time runs, 336 for every spot. no daily/weekly cooldown.

    Works if you are a social player, have friends and if you are able to stack your armor type in a group, its really really fast.

    Thats what most active players did in the first patch week that allowed 336 from m+ cache. You might need 1-2 weeks if you are unlucky with some item slot drops.

    Raiding is stupid, nothing drops there and on a weekly lockout its useless, M+ is the fastest way and since you will be doing more as 10/10 15+ keys you will have automatically every week 3x 352 drops to choose from.

    If you are a casual player with no geared/skilled friends, there is no quick catch up in game for you.

    I would say do M+. Also try and chat up people to form groups.

    No one who is 210 is likely to have the friend network required to do that.

    The sad truth though is that boosting is pretty much the answer in the modern game. 500k for a full heroic clear will net you probably at least 2 239 items, maybe 3, with a choice of 3 vault items the next week.

    But even that won't be enough to start doing m+ on your own. Within 30 seconds of posting a 15 key, I'll have 30+ applicants, many of whom are 250 with 2300+ score.

    Currently at 220 from entirely solo play (well, except for the odd group for Korthia mobs). Korthia gear at 4/6 upgrade level, crafted 230 blue, legendary. A couple of hours all in per week, no problem.

    The most important gearing method is through the great vault. At your item level you may struggle getting into groups so if all else fails do LFR to and try to kill 6 bosses to give yourself 2 options from the vault. Of these 6 bosses make sure Sylvanas and Kel'Thazad are 2 of those 6 to give yourself a shot at the 220ilvl gear that drops from them. Mythic+5 gives you a 229 item in the vault, Mythic+7=233 in the vault and Mythic+8=236 in the vault. If you strictly play a DPS spec you will have a hard time getting into m+ groups.

    Check the weekly quests available next to the great vault. This week is timewalking week. That rewards a random piece from normal difficulty in the raid (226-233ilvl). Keep an eye out for the shadowlands mythic dungeon weekly which looks like the week of 10/5. That quest rewards a piece of heroic raid gear (239-246ilvl).

    You can equip one 230ilvl crafted piece. You can purchase any slot except weapon/off hand from the auction house, they are all around 5k on my server. Work towards an item level 262 legendary. Don't bother crafting a 249ilvl one, just save up currency until you have enough to make a 262 to save yourself gold. You can upgrade Korthia gear to 220ilvl without any reputation requirements. The last two ranks 226 and 233ilvl require max archivist reputation which is a massive grind.

    Why do you need stuff if you don't do any content that gives and requires stuff ?

    Or you are you trolling as you do in every thread you post here ?

    At ilvl 210 you can basically do any content and get better gear.

    Gold.

    Join a Heroic guild. Join a M+ guild. Join a community that is cross server. Do content that is within reach and reasonable. at 210 even normal raid drops upgrades and you should be able to find a reasonably competent group to get clears. at 210 start with M+10s and work your way up. Don't expect randoms to carry you through endgame, but its so much easier to get through endgame if you join a group of like minded people.

    You do not need to spend gold or buy tokens to gear up. everyone telling you that is just fucking lazy.

    Just do PUGS on normal difficulty, they're really easy.
