Casual pvper buy order for conquest items?

I’m mostly going to be doing casual double dps 2v2 with my wife as double ret for a while. We’re wondering if we should save and buy the conquest weapon first, or if it makes more sense to buy armor pieces and spend our honor on a weapon first. Thanks!

So option 1: Conquest weapon first item, spend honor on other pieces
option 2: Conquest weapon later on, honor weapon first

Appreciate it!

Buy the honor wep and max it and hope to get the conquest wep in the weekly chest.

Got my conquest wep in this weeks weekly. Conserving conquest is important because you upgrade conquest with honor so its better to spend conquest on the most amount of items you can get.

Might also trying getting into raid groups for bosses that drop wep.

Okay that’s where we were leaning already, didn’t even think of the upgrade-more-slots aspect though! We were just thinking the instant gratification of snagging an honor weapon as soon as we ding 60 was going to be nice :slight_smile:

I’m in a similar predicament, however all of my PvP gear is 184+ and I have a 187 weapon. My decision is

187 weapon upgrade to 207

Or

184 neck to 207 neck
187 ring to 207 ring
184 ring to 207 ring

I suppose I’m leaning the latter for the most amount of upgrades, and the writer above made a good point about getting lucky with weapon in Great Vault.

I thought I heard somewhere that weapons needed to be prioritized, but the 3 accessory upgrade option just seems too good to pass.

Thoughts?

I’m saving for my weapon. I have had garbage vault items. No weapons or main armor pieces.

This week I got adaptation trinket, relentless trinket, and gloves (which I took)

It depends on your rating.

The honor weapon can be maxxed at 184 right now, and either 192 or 197 later on. Conquest is 200, and if you are both 1400+ you can upgrade it to 207, 1600 to 213, and so on.

If you don’t have the rating, then buy the honor weapon. If you are 1400+ I would say get the conquest weapon; in my opinion.

On my warrior at least, I did my arenas and such for my 2h weapon. Just to get the crap out of the way. Leaving the vault to get me my armor and accessories. Seemed like a good play.
