With Naxxramus being released on the PTR I think this is a good time to talk about what you can do to prepare for when phase 6 arrives.
Tier Gear…
Tier gear in Naxx is handled the same way as it is in AQ 40, a boss drops a token, in this case those tokens are called “Desecrated [name]” and you then turn that in with various other items (for some gold) and then you have your tier piece.
The below links shows what each class needs as material cost. (I did not include the gold required for some pieces.)

If you are wondering about who drops what, here’s what each boss drops…

Now with phase 6 comes new ways to obtain Argent Dawn reputation. One way you can get rep with the Argent dawn is through a Craftsmen’s Writ. A Craftsmen’s Writ is very much like the logistic quests of Silithis where you are told to hand in various items such as Major Health/Mana Potions, GAPP’s and many others.
A Writ is obtained by handing in an Argent Dawn Valor Token. One Token for one Writ.
Each time you do one of these quests you are given a choice between an Insignia of the Dawn or an Insignia of the Crusade. Which can be turned in for items, most notably the 18 slot supply bag (unique sorry guys). The other items aren’t really that good if you’re raiding in AQ40 and should only be seen as catch-up gear.
The number of insignias needed for these items decrease depending on your reputation with the Argent Dawn. All quests you can get will be listed here…

Some mob types will start to drop new items that can be handed in at LHC for insignias these are…
- Savage Frond, from plant mobs (yes Dire Maul should drop these).
- Dark Iron Scraps, obtained in the Burning Steppes, Searing Gorge and from the mobs in BRD.
- Elemental Cores, from elementals (looks like the Silithis elementals are gonna get farmed a lot again).
- Cryptstalker Parts, from the Cryptstalkers that roam EPL (can also get in
Strath). - Bone Fragments, from the many undead in W/EPL (can also get from Strath).
Note: You don’t choose which insignia you get from these.
These will make you getting into Naxx much smoother since the attunement is rep related. Anything below exalted and you need to pay to become attuned.
Shadow and frost resist enchants for the head and legs are also coming and both need 10 Insignias of the Crusade and 30g.
I’m super hyped for Naxxramus, i don’t care if it’s going to be a faceroll, looked forward to AQ and I’m looking forward to Naxx.
I hope this helped at least somewhat.
