Is there catch up gear coming in 11.1.5?

Is there something similar to the siren isle flame blessed iron? I see that horrific visions have a once per week, per difficulty drop.

However, is there some new gameplay system where you can purchase an entire set of gear at current ilvl?

What do you consider current ilvl?

I actually got my first alt to 80. Without running a single m+, and zero outside help. Just soloing . I was at like 640 hours after hitting 80.

If I can take a whack.
: Undermine gear and weathered crest crafted to about 630 then delve spam? Two 658 crafts using the sparks you’d get.

What else? (I just freshly got an alt to 80 before maint and could do with the advice).

Hit all your rep vendors. Should be an enchanted rune to make a crafted piece along with a bunch of coffer keys. A lot of crests.

I didn’t worry about saving lower crests. So I upgraded a bunch of things as well, as long as the upgrade didn’t touched runed.

As I got enough runed , I crafted items with all the sparks available.

So the answer is, no.

Yeah, as far as we know the answer is no…at least until they tell us about the Dinars. But getting gear is really really easy right now

Flames raidance event has dailies that get Bind on Warbind Vet gear and weekly that gives a champion piece. Not sure if the champ piece is Bind on Warband its a vendor item tho

Why would you need catch up gear in the running season?

If you want catch-up gear, it would come in 11.1.7 to prepare for 11.2, just like 11.0.7 prepared players for 11.1.

The new event is gunna be easy champ track, and a special cape that’s basically on par with hero track despite being champ track

Hero weapons for the corruption stuff too right? Should be good for alts

12

Visions is next month, in June.

Undercoin can get you veteran gear. Sure, you’ll have to grind delves but T6 is easy enough in S1 gear or even 580 gear so you’ll still catch up fairly quickly.

14

Yep, gilded are the only special ones IMO.

15

623 account-bound delve gear, if your main has a lot of undercoins

I wasn’t aware of this. Is this available now?

Yes, you get occasional catch-up 593 ilvl warbound drops from running dungeons. What, seventy levels behind the average ilvl isn’t “catch-up” enough for you? Blizzard disapproves.

This whole expansion is designed for alts. Gearing has never been easier. There is virtually no need for a catch-up mechanism. You can be raid ready in a weekend.

This is a nice option and comes at the right time for a few of my alts still missing a couple of slots, like this one.
