420 base loot from visions.
445 base loot from world quests.
what?
370 pieces from reputation vendors at exalted. 385 benthics while still neutral with ankoan. now 410-415 black empire boa pieces.
do yall just spin a wheel with pictograms on it to decide what level to make items in a given content? becuase that would make more sense than what you actually implement in the game.

You only get 445 is you have near 440 Ilvl…

What exactly is your issue with the loot?
While I agree rep loot could use a boost the rest seems fine to me.
All the gear from every warfront, barring heroic Darkshore is also irrelevant.
It’s weird that they scale WQ gear, but not gear from other sources.

by the time you do the visions, you’ll be in better than 420 loot. they aren’t spammable so there’s no reason to start their loot so low. then you have to do two extra objectives along with the boss to get something higher than 420.
doing that is time-gated not by gear, but by sanity management and the level of your cloak and collecting mementos to buff yourself with titan research. there’s no actual reward for doing 1 objective plus boss, so there’s a stepping level that’s just skipped there.
honestly the rewards patterns blizzard has been following throughout bfa, you know what they remind me of?
reward cycles in those chines bs gacha games, where gear and character progression is set up to be as frustrating as possible in order to spur you to their storefront for microtransactions.

Right the base level is 420… but it goes up pretty drastically to 445 with a full clear and 470 with a 5 mask clear,
The easiest mode shouldn’t be just handing you loot on a silver platter…

Emissary/WQ rewards scale with your ilvl, newer characters/low ilvl characters are receive weaker versions of the same item, but the rest is fixed.
So you can go with a low ilvl character and get your 420 vision gear or farm 410/415 boas while still getting sub 400 ilvl wq/emissary rewards.
i never said it should. did you even read what i said?
the top end rewards are fine. i just think it’s pointless to start them off at 420 considering all the OTHER loot sources available.

It is tuned for having super low gear though. It is easily beaten at 410 loot… your complaining that normal mode dungeons are not rewarding you with 445 gear.
only because it’s not spammable and you only get one piece of loot a week.
if you could run the visions over and over ad nauseum, the 420 would make sense.
another thing that makes no sense is the reputation rewards for the different npc factions. 370 gear for exalted? i was in 400 gear before i hit 120, and in 430 gear before i got anywhere CLOSE to exalted. right now the only relevance for reputations is the ones they force us to grind as a requirement for essences

As long as timewalkeing quest keeps giveing 445 ilvl gear and BFA dungeon weekly gives 460 gear that is still happening till this day all they did is make sure i only do current content in 8.3 and i even get to have broken corrupted system on top feels good man!
Loom gear also makes no sense. Some trinkets are X level, while others are Y and your gear is Z. Also they really messed up the enchants and profession enhancements. shakes cane
My monk got one of those forges and it alone is doing more then what she does lol! already this stuff is nuts!
You need to pick up enchanting and DE that stuff, it’s pure gold. That’s one of the good things about loot falling from the skies, enchanting doesn’t cost both arms and legs.
i’m a death knight, i enchant my own weapons for no cost and ring enchants ain’t that spendy.
i do appreciate you and your fellow enchanters providing those accords of x on the AH though
From emissaries, not WQs.
From WQs I think it is 415~420 if I am not wrong. Dungeon WQs are 430 for sure (I am 454 and did one yesterday).
