The thing about it that bothers me is in the original 4 zones above ground, we used to get a decent amount of gold quests per week on each alt.
Even though my item level is 401, the game is now offering low end explorer gear up top for World Quests when I don’t need it because I’m still using Season 1 gear and the game is too stupid to realize the difference.
Why couldn’t they leave well enough alone above ground and simply add the new systems into the new zone?
It’s definitely 100% faster for getting 398 weapons.
That was a grind with the Forbidden Reach thing.
Also that energy ball/orb trinket is actually kind of nutty.
They added two more racing quests that give 500 gold each. That brings the total to…what…16 per character per week (or is it 14)? 7-8k gold for just flying around on an alt twice a week seems pretty decent, if WQs is how you want to make gold in game.
Does nobody else on this post realize it’s just catch up gear for S2?
All this gear is there for is so people have the possibility to switch mains or old friends can come back and semi close the gap between them and their friends right before the patch.
If you were already geared in Season 1 and plan to play the same characters it shouldn’t even matter to you at all. Just wait a week and jump straight in.
Personally I am using the week to level alts etc while I have the time. As soon as the M+ season launches I’ll be going ham.
And if you are planning on switching mains for the next season but the character isn’t that geared. Probably go grind out a set so you can be more prepared and closer to other players ilvls come Tuesday.
That’s it though. If you don’t want to do it. Just don’t do it lol Even a fresh character will have the ability to do a +2 and eventually you will replace all this gear regardless.
Which quest is this?
I assume they’re talking about the quest(s) you get from the drakonid lifting weights outisde the auction house.
It’s in Valdrakken, where we used to pick up the two separate one dungeon quests for a rep of our choosing: Fighting is Its Own Reward and you pick it up from Kemora.
It rewards a bunch of rep for all factions, along with the choice between these:
Just keep in mind that the gear box isn’t spec specific. So if you’re a Paladin, you could get anything for any spec.
No, that’s the Timewalking and Mythic events. This is a new Heroic dungeon weekly quest.
Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t know this quest existed.

I feel like not many do. It wasn’t well advertised. 
No it’s not. If you’re not raiding you don’t need that gear for anything.
Oh. I didn’t even know they changed those.
Yeah, it’s weird. No one’s really talking about it, so I don’t think many know about it. I wish something would point people towards that new quest. It’s a really good weekly to do.
The 10.0 world content is scaling with the 10.1 system so in the future those same world quests giving the low explorer gear will drop adventurer gear as your ilvl goes up.
