Hey guys.
So after looking around, I noticed that there didn't seem to be the usual gearing guides that tend to show up near the start of a new expansion, so I figured I'd knock one together. It's still somewhat of a Work In Progress, as there are a fair few items that I just can't find sources for, and so have simply made an educated guess.
This list covers Rare and Epic items from 85-90, and are (hopefully) earned without having to set foot in a raid.
I have not included any holiday items due to their transitory nature.
If you have any info on sources, or notice anything wrong, please let me know and I'll do my best to update.

Honor Gear
While I am trying to keep this more of a PvE gearing list (barring the crafted PvP gear) I know some people will be interested in the Honor gear available. With that in mind, the following should link you to the PvP set.
