I unlocked Pathfinder and all my gear is at least ilvl 400+, being mostly the new Benthic upgraded gear.
But I can’t find any new weapons. You get an ilvl 370 as one of the first quest rewards in 8.2, but we can get that just from BFA WQ’s and LFR drops.
Do we have to wait until the new LFR opens for 400+ ilvl gear?
Is there a new weekly world boss that drops 400+ weapons?
Just trying to figure out how to upgrade my last, and most important, piece of gear.
Thanks.
Edit: I’m not a Keystone Mythic Dungeon or Normal+ Raider. Not sure if there are any more casual upgrade paths for weapons. Thanks.

then why do you even need new weapon? mobs scaling with ilvl anyway
Because I like to upgrade my gear evenly.
Just a personal preference.

that actually happened in legion, lots of posts and vids if you google
Whenever the next weapon emissary cache comes, that will be 395.
Not as fast as our gear does, eventually you will blow everything up. This DK is a tank and at 410 I have no issues. Things even die quick.
ok found it, still the blue posts says
"The intent of our change in 7.2 was to smooth out that progression curve a bit, not flatten it out, and certainly never to invert it. If you get a great set of item upgrades that make you 5% stronger, maybe the world gets 1-2% tougher. Perhaps instead of getting 400% stronger over the course of the expansion relative to the outdoor world, you only get 250% stronger. But you should always be getting more powerful in relative terms, and upgrades should always matter. "
So upgrade is still always an improvment.

Thank you, yes people seem to think ilvl scaling seems to make all the mobs always even with us for 2 years straight.
they’re always same within one tier. Next tier makes previous dramatically weaker, but on current even 50 ilvls won’t give any feeling of improvement
You can get ilvl 400 weapons from the darkshore warfront.
Are you sure about that ? The ilvl for all the world quest will increase next week. It would be odd if the ilvl for the caches didn’t also increase.

I got a 400 staff from the darkshore warfront chest.
that doesn’t feels right, needs testing.
Btw I had a 400 weapon as a conquest reward.
Not too sure, but I was more talking if we got a weapon cache in 2 hours.
Nothing better from Naz or Mech than the 370 weapon you get at the beginning of the quest chain? Have to goto Darkshore warfront and loot from a chest?
I made the same thread yesterday OP.
Can someone post a “I know that feel bro” jpg?

Going from having these AMAZINGLY powerful weapons for TWO YEARS back to begging for scraps (RNG) sucks…it sucks hard. I hate weapon drops.

Well you don’t have to go for a timer, provided Operation:Mechagon isn’t a ballbuster that drops ilvl 415 weapons.
The Bow (Heroic ilvl 400) that I have came from Emissary of War weekly…complete x4 Mythic Dungeon. And yes, the 395 Emissary Cache reward the Monday before 8.2 went live on Tuesday. It was specifically a 395 Weapon rewarded to you from Completing x4 Order of Embers WQ’s.
But I get what you are saying…if ppl didn’t complete the WQ or Emissary of War weekly, they are stuck w/ a 370-385 wep I assume. However, you do have a “week” complete the Emissary of War quest but only 2 day WQ to grab that ilvl 395 weapon reward.
So what now? Well, new dun and raid opens up tomorrow. Try that, it’s a new experience and you may like getting into M+ or Raiding with the new content tomorrow. Good luck!!
If they hold to the same pattern you should be able to get around a 405 weapon with the first week of conquest.
Not to difficult to get. Just do your assaults on warmode and finish all 5 quests. That will net you 60 points every time.
If you stick around and get the cache that is another 50 every assault ( can also be world supply drop, but once you get 1 in a day no further conquest is rewarded.)
Call to arms, brawls, battlegrounds, and skirmishes are other ways to speed it up.
A lot of classes kind of rely upon their weapon. For many specs, the weapon can be a huge bottleneck in your overall power. Since Benthic is only Armor slots, folks who aren’t doing high end content are in a questionable spot because of the limited number of sources they can get weapons from.
