Need to grind raids to get BIS arena gear?

Seeing a lot of R1s and top ladder players wearing “fortune crafted” gear. Seems like it is required to grind raids or M+ dungeons to acquire these. Not to mention the people who got their 4set a week early thanks to grinding the raid and using the upgrade kits.

Seems a little wacky that in 2025 you need to grind PvE to have an advantage in PVP…anyone else think this is cringe?

You get gilded crests from Duelist+ wins.

Inconsequential.

The crafted PVE gear? You don’t need this.

Of course, if you want it, you can also get the required Gilded crests from Delves, too - no M+ or Raiding (or Duelist) required. :dracthyr_yay_animated:

The first three Bountiful Tier 11s you do each week drop 7 Gilded crests; also, I think the Map Delves at Tier 11 award Gilded crests, too (I recall getting 10 of them from a run - not sure if this is repeatable, though).

Everybody could have had their 4-set early if they really wanted it. People literally just ran LFR for a piece and then upgraded it. :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

Don’t be ridiculous.
