There’s a glitch going on right now where if you buy the gear which was 5K undercoins to give your alt 4/8 adventurer gear it just spits them out item level 350 gear instead that can’t be upgraded or changed in any way. I had been like well I’ve got all these coins, might as well give my alt a little boost before they trundle off to undermine or do some lfr.
I put in a ticket and they said it’s a known issue but has no solution, coins are gone and gear is still just vendor trash now lol. Anyways, just wanted to put this out as a public service announcement for folks so they can use 5K worth of undercoins on something like transmog or literally anything else at this time lol.

That’s what the box does. It won’t be updated to Vet gear until S2, and you can’t upgrade S1 gear anymore, which is why it’s sitting at 350.
Even pre-Siren’s Isle the 5k Undercoin box was a scam. That murloc puts many goblins to shame.

I had to go check but my explorer 3/8 season 1 adventure gear on my other alt is item level 564 so 350 is like, several expansions back which is why I’m like, what?! I could have sat to the low item level like 564 and that was expected but 350 I think is like, WoD or Legion levels I think.
350 iLVL is like Shadowlands iLVL, certainly something wrong there.
Would be better to spend your coins on the materials box, sell those and buy some 597+ green gear.

Not 350. It should give 580. That’s what it gave in season 1, iirc.
Edit: phone typing bad.
even lv 70 green gear isnt that low of an item level its obviously a bug
It’s just a bug for the one week between seasons.
Yes, but people are using their season 1 undercoin for stuff and OP is saying not to waste it on that.
Yeah it’s my fault for not thinking about that it’s that one weird week between seasons but I was good with getting season 1 gear, just not, past expansions item level gear haha.
I’m just trying to get down mr president the rest of my wow friends to keep them safe from that dastardly box this week lol.

I’ll join the dog pile here! Finley’s gear was never 350 before now; if you stop and think about it, 350 isn’t even an appropriate item level for TWW. Blizzard’s gone on record as saying the game is already in ‘season 2 mode’ to accommodate Undermine, so at worst Finley’s gear should have remained at the same ilvl but become unupgradeable, like the rest of our S1 gear did when the update went live.

My bad on that, I did grab the box and just completely missed it was only going to 350. It is downright silly you can’t refund it, but that’s the way they did it.
I was using Conquest loot boxes to gear alts since it’s free Conquest gear, accidentally used one on Guuah who’s already fully decked out, and whoops, -375 Conquest.
Appreciate the four people eager to jump down my throat for making a mistake, including while I’m typing about how I seen my mistake. Heaven forbid someone makes a mistake over something that hasn’t mattered for months.

I’m sorry about that! I was curious when you said it and had to go look, but no harm no foul, honestly the start of this expansion feels like a year ago, it’s all been a blur and I couldn’t remember what item level we started at haha.
Not at all… for a fresh 80, who is probably in 350 to 480 gear at best, during season 1 you got a full set of 4/8 Adventure gear, which for the record is…
580 Blues…
One upgrade on each piece made it a full set of 584 epics (same as base veteran gear).
Mind you, it was a better deal before Siren Island, but for a fresh 80 in ilvl 400ish gear, that was a huge upgrade.
I bought the pet for 10k after noticing I had 11k on this character. Haven’t bothered with anything else. Other random amounts of coins I have on the few alts I’ve bothered doing delves with will rot. Not that concerned about it. I knew that the box gear would be garbage since the murloc also sells individual pieces, and just went to Siren Isle to gear my 80s since I’m swimming in Flame-Blessed Iron.
No one jumped down your throat? They simply gave correct information in a reply to you, so that you were aware.
There was no personal attack or attitude given. Just a correction. We all get stuff wrong. It happens and isn’t a big deal.
