Hey guys, I put together a quick checklist for P8 prep so can make the most of the phase and avoid the recent situations I’ve had with gatekeeping around the 7/7 trinket and 8/8 gear.
• Get Gear ASAP: Upgrade to at least 900 gearscore with Phase 8, AQ40, and Nightmare Dragon pieces.
• Reals: Max out your tarnished Undermine Reals—prep 150 per character and grab your pre-BIS class items on April 8. (cap goes up to 250 then)
• Naxx Runs: Don’t skip your weekly Naxxramas runs for sanctified gear and critical trinkets, shoulder enchants, rings. GET 7/7 BUFF AND 8/8 SANCTIFIED
• Gold: Build a reserve of at least 5,000 gold using boosting or efficient farming strategies. Some strategies are 100% AFK and 200G/hour
• Professions: Ensure all your professions are maxed at 300 for those crucial bonuses. New recipes = profit.
• Consumables: Stockpile all necessary flasks, foods, protection potions, and repair items.
• Attunement: Attune for the raid day one - it’s fast but not easy
• Pre-raid: Craft new Scarlet Disguises with Righteous Orbs and Blood of Heroes so you can do quests in the New Avalon area for things like Fish Feasts
• Mindset: Prepare for a long, strategic day—communication and adaptability are key.
I’ve got a full P8 Prep guide with more detail for each step and advanced strategies you can do to get ahead here: https://youtu.be/xbM7N4zyEtk - advanced strategies to get geared and ready for the excitement and the unknown of Scarlet Enclave.
What are you guys doing for Phase 8 prep? I’m going to be farming as many Blood of heroes this week as I can.
