Why is M+5 a prereq. for random BGs now?

If you are conquest farming, the last place you want to be is a battleground.

What you want to do is:

  • Do Battle for Nazjatar. It pops every 3 hours and awards 50 conquest for a win, 20 for a loss. If you are an Alliance player, join a RUIN BATTLE FOR NAZJATAR group. Will be an easy win. If you are Horde, try to find a phase without RUIN in it. Basically if you see 20+ Alliance at each flag, or storming the base, open group finder and try to find a group to get you out of there.
  • Once a day, loot a supply drop in nazjatar. This will reward you 75 conquest. Supplies drop roughly every 45 minutes in zone.
  • Once a day, loot a supply drop in Stormsong Valley/Drustvar/Tirigard Sound/Zuldazar/Nazmir/or Vol’dun for 50 conquest.
  • Do invasions when they are up. Completing each quest will award 10 or 15 conquest for a total of 75 conquest for all. Though these have odd hours. Sometimes spawning in the middle of the night.
  • While doing the invasions you can run across secret supply crates. They seem to share lock out with the Stormsong Valley/Drustvar/Tirigard Sound/Zuldazar/Nazmir/Vol’dun supply drops though.
  • If you are Alliance complete your weekly Against Overwhelming Odds quest to kill 25 Horde, for 50 conquest.
  • Complete your weekly CTA: Nazjatar/Mechagon quest to kill 25 horde/alliance in the respective zones for 75 conquest.
  • Complete your weekly CTA: Stormsong Valley/Drustvar/Tirigard Sound/Zuldazar/Nazmir/Vol’dun quest to kill 25 Horde/Alliance in the respective zones for 50 conquest.
    (The AoO’s and CTA quests can only be completed solo or in a party, not a raid. You can usually find groups in the LFG finder under custom pvp for them.)

Only then should you be going to BG’s for conquest.

Conquest gear starts at 410 with a weapon.
Then capping gives you 415 gear. You need to cap once for each slot before moving onto 430 gear.
Next patch you will start getting 445 gear though conquest capping each week.
