Cheers, I knew they were there just couldn’t recall them off-hand and was wondering if they were the same as the honor costs (which they appear to be).
So most items will be ~2 weeks to acquire, with weapons being 3-4 weeks. Seems a bit rough. 700 feels like a more appropriate value for the weekly cap, or scaling based on rating etc.
Yeah, this is how it currently works. Conquest is only for the acquisition. Honor does all the upgrades.
The worst part is even if there was absolutely zero achievement required, you would need to pool all conquest for 4 weeks at the start of the season to even get a weapon, all while being able to directly pick any other upgrades during that time period.
And you “could” not PvP early in a season in past expansions and use honor gear while waiting for conquest weekly items but you would have been better off getting solid raid gear.
Mmmmno that’s not what I experienced in MoP or WoD. During both of those expansions I barely touched PvE and was still competitive in PvP. Maybe early in the xpac the play is to give dungeons a shot but once the first season started you could pretty much ignore PvE.
