Valorstone Crates

Gearing an alt. On a mission. Have tons of RNG in front of me for gear as is. Only gives Vet track gear. That’s all fine.

However, 5/9 of the ones I bought were duplicate slots. Why are these not purchasable by item slot like in shadowlands? Why are you letting something from shadowlands be better than current expansion and in DF? I get RNG is gonna RNG but this is catch up gear for an alt. Catch up, to speed up. Go faster. Throwing 1750 valorstones in the bin isn’t necessarily spring boarding me forward.

At that rate it would be faster just to do heroic dungeons.

Valorstones for random vet gear, for real?

Even on a capped character, I’m not dropping valorstones for RNG vet gear.

Where do you buy them?

Hope you have better luck than I did.

SL had many different limiters though. You needed rating in order to upgrade the pieces, meaning you needed the gear in order to do the dungeon in order to upgrade them. So you ended up with other gear in the end anyway. And only m+ gave you the valor to upgrade them in the first place. Hell I’m not even sure they could be upgraded in the first place.

In TWW, almost every source of max level gear is upgradable, you have crafting, you have warbound, you have valorstone and crests coming out of everything. Renown is account wide so there’s 3 veteran and 3 champion you can buy on alts, there are bountiful keys from those same renown for easy delves gear.

All i’m saying is, TWW is easier to gear in the early stages of endgame than Shadowlands was. By a long shot.

Shadowlands or not, this is bad regardless. It’s very much a respect player time thing. 4 Gloves is bad. 2 Belts is bad. The entire point is to jump start and get going into content that’s not insanely boring.

RNG will RNG. I got all of the trinkets from delves when season started, while still wearing a bunch of adventurer and low crafted gear. Going the opposite direction isn’t any better. You’re gonna run m+ and get champion gear before you know it anyway. All that veteran gear would have been wasted.

And repeating it isn’t actually helpful. You love the dopamine hits from gambling that’s fine, but don’t drag me into it.

That’s literally the point of catch up gear, to bypass start of season trash time. They milked us for a month before the actual season started. That was plenty.

It’s veteran 4/8 dude. You get those from weekly chest, renown, crafting, m0, BRD, etc. This game has never been this alt friendly to start your progression.

Maybe you’ll get it soon.

So stop playing? You want to bypass the gear just to gear, seems nonsensical to me.

Isn’t this where I go to voice my opinion? This is what they have, I know it can be better. I’ve communicated that. What kind of response is that? Lol.

I want to bypass the dead zone of content where it’s boring and 100% from pre-season, yes. 565-590 ilvl = dead zone.

You’re in luck:

All skips that zone and are easy to do with starter 80 gear. Well, maybe not m0.

Not on a vendor. You don’t seem to understand the request. Not sure how else to explain it to you. I’m just gonna assume you’re hard trolling at this point. Cya.

Yeah I disagree with you, I must be trolling. You’re no loss to me.

Why do that when you can buy 6 pieces off of the rep vendors?

9 boxes and 6 vendor items is still one item short of a full ready to go gearset that skips all the preseason ilvl range even if you could target every slot.

6 rep vendor items, one Timewalking box, BRD box, 2 weekly quest boxes and Delves are how I gear. That and Warbound gear. :dracthyr_shrug:
