Some of you people are really defensive for no reason whatsoever.

eh - they withdrew the comment, so I wonât respond.
Gear is just something you really canât worry about anymore. By canât I mean you really donât have to think about it. It just comes no matter what you are doing. At the very least I canât take gear, or gear farming, very seriously anymore. What comes Iâll wear and thatâs that.
Weapons can only get wfâed up to +10 ilvls.
So you canât titanforge a weapon.

Yes you can, I have a 415 2-hander from a +10.
Then it came from your weekly chest. Weapons are capped at +10 from source level. (And yes this CAN be labeled as titanforged, but itâs still capped at +10)
For your weekly that means 420 cap. Since itâs 410 base.
PS: Mind equipping that?

According to Watcher (Ion), they canât.
If you got it from your weekly mythic + chest, then it warforged from the chest ilvl, which has a base of 410 for a +10 reward.
It should say âwarforgedâ or âtitanforgedâ on the item.

Unfortunately, this also means that if you do care about your gear being good, youâre thrown in the drag of a number hell that is simming. You canât just aim to hit certain stat caps like you used to and itâs almost never immediately clear that one piece of gear is an upgrade compared to another. Itâs tiresome and frustrating.

Iâm not home so I canât, but they definitely can minimum Titanforge, just incredibly unlikely.
Thatâs from over a year ago, hence; âThe current thinking is to not let weapons Titanforge but only Warforge (+5 item levels)â
Before BFA started, I thought they should at a minimum include trinkets with weapons as not being able to TF. Trinkets are probably the biggest offender to normal gear progression. It is already annoying that the best trinkets for raiding for my main come out of mythic+. Regardless, Iâm using world quest trinkets at the moment for raiding and that feels odd.
Maybe a middle ground is adding trinkets to azerite armor that canât upgrade or at least make them like weapons.
I wouldnât quote the summary that WoWhead listed, but the actual quote from Ion in the video.
No, they cannot. Again, if you have a dungeon weapon at 415, it came from your chest. This is not something you can argue. Feel free to post later when youâve equipped it and iâll tell you exactly WHEN you looted it from your chest.

I relogged, switching to one of my combat sets, so you should be able to see the greaves and some other gear now. No, I donât actually use [simple black dress] for PVP, normally. I still think wowprogress is just out of date by a day or two.

That does help thank you. I see the 420 trinket now which is a super high Tforge, congrats. Although the stats on that seem REALLY weak for the ilvl. No?
grats on the nice RNG!
Iâm sorry, but the fact that loot from LFR even has the possibility of being higher than base mythic dazarâalor loot is just a sign of horrid design choices.

To be fair, wowprogress will pick up whatever the armory shows you in. You could log out naked, scan yourself on wowprogress, and it would then show nothing equipped. Itâs not any more reliable than the armory is if you log out in a different gearset.

It isnât just casuals farming them. Mythic raiders are farming them as well-- in order to help give them a competitive edge since PL enforcement in Raids.
So you canât blame this strictly on casuals. The WF/TF issue is broad stroked, to say only Casuals are farming them isnât reality.
And honestly shows you arenât seeing the bigger picture.
It doesnât matter what level of content players are playing, if they feel like they have to have a WF/TF item to be competitive, they will do it and Blizzard knows it.
Blizzardâs banking on it to keep Players of all levels subbed and on the casino tread mill.
m+ cache donât follow normal rules, any item in them can forge to the max ilvl.
that possibility is so low itâs irrelevant
