New ilvl question

Achendron-azuremyst · January 17, 2019, 9:50pm

So as I am reading the post from our lovely Watcher Dev.

It says that the ilvl limit will increase to 425 when the season starts. M+ for the first week will be capped at +6=385ilvl for end of dungeon. Does this mean that the 385 at the end of dungeon has a chance to titanforge to or up to 425?

Clarification on this would be helpful! Me and my team will be running quite a bit of +6s on release if this is true!

Rewards will be capped at 385 until Mythic releases.

Turnberry-illidan · January 17, 2019, 9:52pm

Yes I believe starting Tuesday all gear will have the ability to forge to 425.

As PvE season 2 starts on the 22nd, items can sadly Titanforge to 425.

I know they will be capped at 385 for the reward, I said that in my OP, but the TF cap is increased the day the season releases to 425. That is were my confusion is.

Since they didn’t specify, the assumption is capped at 385. Chances of getting a definitive answer on it, unlikely.

I doubt they’re choosing to disable Titanforging that week, you’ve been able to Titanforge to 395 in season 1, so it’d only make sense for it to go to 425.

so week one doing anything above a +10 is pointless? save for the residiuum from the chest the following week.

Abruek-turalyon · January 17, 2019, 10:10pm

This current week, doing a 6 or higher will reward a level 6 chest for next week, which is a 385.

Bobbydígital-illidan · January 17, 2019, 10:12pm

ok i thought the gear from next week would be capped at 385 from all end of run chests.

the OP seemed to have wanted to farm them for easy shot at TF. is this inaccurate?

Abruek-turalyon · January 17, 2019, 10:13pm

I think it’s for dungeon completions too, I’m not sure they do a poor job explaining things. Though I believe Titanforging won’t be capped

Turnberry-illidan · January 17, 2019, 10:14pm

This isn’t true, you have to do a +10 this week to get a 380 from the weekly chest Tuesday. Ion says it in the post he made.

Bobbydígital-illidan · January 17, 2019, 10:14pm

so, in theory we could face roll a bunch of +6s for shots at easy 400 something TF?

assuming there isn’t a cap in place, which now that i think more about this, there should be.

Raicolette-moon-guard · January 17, 2019, 10:15pm

As it stands now:

That’s all that’s been confirmed. You still have to pursue a +10 this week for a 380. If you want to start next week with a +10, you need to complete a +13 or higher this week.

In theory, yes you could farm +6s next week but that all relies on if TF and WF are disabled for the week or honor the 385 cap. We don’t know.

Abruek-turalyon · January 17, 2019, 10:16pm

I see, thanks.

Varb-twisting-nether · January 17, 2019, 10:21pm

In the first week of uldir release the items were capped at 355 so it is likely they are capped at 385 for the first week.

Abruek-turalyon · January 17, 2019, 10:23pm

Wouldn’t make much sense to cap it at 385, since we already have bigger pieces. I think we were only capped for two to three weeks at launch before Uldir so people could level.

Raicolette-moon-guard · January 17, 2019, 10:24pm

Because you can farm Mythic+ repeatedly. You can’t farm raids for gear on the same level as you can M+.

Achendron-azuremyst · January 17, 2019, 10:26pm

I see we are all as confused as I am on this topic.

What I want to get to is that if +6 drops 385 but the TF cap is 425 that the end of dungeon piece has a chance to drop TF gear.

My most educated guess is that YES I will be able to get TF gear up to 425 from end of dungeon +6.

it seems weird to cap M+at 385 when heroic is opening week 1 which gives 400 gear. right?
