Lalandi sells Forged Gladiator’s Heraldry, that can turn pve craft into pvp right? but it cost 175 conquest, a 2-hand weapon needs 10 which is 1750 conquest that’s exactly how much you can buy conquest weapon directly, why craft then? it’s time gated
then what’s with the spark of omen? for converting to set?
confused…
No the pvp crafts are now completely separate from pve crafts. The pvp crafts all start with “Algari Competitor”.
Well we get a free conquest weapon on week 2 or 3, so do not spend conquest crafting a weapon early in the season. But it might be worth crafting later with uncapped conquest because you can specify the secondary stats you want.
Not for converting to set, it just for PVE crafts. In this expac we cannot give conquest ilvl to PVE crafts. You can get 3 ilvl below conquest for PVE crafts though if you are good at PVE, so some of these crafts might be BIS because they have unique embellishments.
thanks for the reply, but still confused
so pvp craft is totally separated from pve? ok then, is that still time gated? what’s needed besides gold?
thanks for reminding me of free conquest weapon, but that was just for example, how about crafting a head, it will cost the same amount of conquest for the craft, so why bother, for choice of stats?
so spark of omen is all for pve, nothing to do with pvp？ ok
The only time gates are how fast Blizzard lets us earn conquest to my knowledge.
The pvp crafts are time gated by the conquest cap which is needed to buy the heraldry items. If you can buy enough Forged Gladiator’s Heraldry and have gold to buy the mats, you can craft the item. No spark needed.
Choice of stats and also for applying one of the optional embellishments. However it is important to consider which tier slots you want to use. Tier slots need to be purchased from the conquest vendor (no crafting these), then converted at the catalyst.
Well a spark craft can be 3 ilvl below conquest if you make an Enchanted Gilded Harbinger Crest. For that reason it will be good in PVP early season, since we are still conquest capped. Also the unique fixed embellishments might make them BIS in some cases, but probably not by much.
In DF seasons, there were the items you got from hitting 1600 that gave you up to 2 “free” (+ mats) conquest-level crafted items. Is that still in WW, or gone?
IDK I guess we will find out next week. Those items simply dropped from a Victory Box, 1600 is for the tier token (this one still exists I think). It was one Trophy and one Greater Trophy, which would be equivalent to 9 conquest Heraldry items. Would be nice to get those on week 1.
with spark of omen we can craft 636 lvl gear in pvp?
also this week’s spark I don’t know where to get it, is it by the quest " Archives: The First Disc"? I talked to the guy “Dragran Thaurissan II”, then nothing, there’s no port or anything to progress, sigh, help appreciated
Yes it is 636 ilvl with a rank 5 craft when using an Enchanted Gilded Harbinger Crest. For the crest you will need to do mythic+ dungeons at lvl 9. They might also drop in pvp, likely at 2400 if they do. You will also need to find a crafter on your realm specialized in the slot you want crafted. It will be pretty expensive this early in the xpac unless you level up your own profession.
It is only a slight advantage early in the season while there is a conquest cap. I wouldn’t worry about it unless you like to do high level pve anyway.
thanks a lot! so bottom line, the pvp craft, unlike in DF you can add 2 additional conquest lvl gear (besides bought using conquest), in TWW doesn’t add anything to the conquest gear count, we are all time gated by the conquest cap, correct?
Do you mean the 2 free Conquest Trophies from DF? I’m not sure, but we might get some free Conquest Heraldries when the season starts next week, which would be similar to the Trophies we got during DF seasons. Also, if you get 1600 in rated you will get a token for one free conquest ilvl tier piece. Just be sure to buy the conquest ilvl piece, since the token will also let you buy a heroic pve ilvl tier piece which is weaker in pvp.
yeah, it turns out TWW is much worse than DF in terms of pvp gear, in DF we get vault every week plus 2 pieces from crafting, TWW no vault, and apparently no craft to add pvp pieces
There is…
You earn the green Heraldries in normal randoms right now, I assume you’ll earn the purple ones when you’re in rated environments and you can outright buy them from the same vendors which sell the gear.
Precognition comes from a gem…
Thanks. So now we have both gem-like embellishment powers (unique-equipped gems), and also enchant-like embellishments (like in DF)? Or did they get rid of the enchant-like embellishments?
There are still the enchant like embellishments, you can have up to 2 of them and 1 Bloodstone gem.
And before you could have, I believe, max of 1 prismatic gem equipped. Does the gem-embellishment count as the prismatic gem? Or are “bloodstones” the new “prismatic?”
Yeah, they’re called Diamonds now instead of Prismatics, so you can have either a Bloodstone gem or a Blasphemite gem. Bloodstone for PvP, Blasphemite for PvE.
Although, looking at the Blasphemites, if you don’t plan on using a Bloodstone, they might be useful…
For instance:
the problem is you have to the spend same amount of conquest as buying the pvp gear from vendor just to get the “Forged Gladiator’s Heraldry” to craft a slightly different pvp gear, there’s no “additional” conquest gear that you can craft without the need to spend conquest points, like what happened in DF.
Why is that a ‘problem’?
In fact, I’m pretty sure this heraldry mechanic is to replace the vault.
So you should earn the mats at a rate which allows you to craft a piece of gear per week.
And unlike the vault, you get to decide which piece to craft.
but in order to craft a conquest piece for example a head, you need to spend 875 conquest points to get the mat, (you can just buy a head gear from vendor directly just minor 2nd stat differences), unlike vault you can get a piece for free (without spending conquest points) every week
