Looking good!

Comment by Shadokugel

Nice summary, here are two corrections:

If an item appears up to 15 ilvls above the base, it will be marked as Warforged

Only up to 10 is warforged. 15, as written, is already titanforged.

The second one is especially important, since it might lead to a lot of confusion in lfr, pugs, etc.:

If you win an item and it seems weaker than your currently-equipped item, you can trade it

Does not depend on your feeling, whether it is weaker or not. Also it does not depend on your equipped item according to Watcher:

So if you have (or have ever gotten, post-7.0, even if you no longer have it) an ilvl 720 trinket, any trinket drop you see that's 720 or lower can be traded to others in your raid group.

Personal loot is tradable if you have gotten an item with at least that item level before.

Just a quick correction.
Unless it has changed recently, normal dungeons only drop 805 gear not 810. Other then that it is a great guide.

Comment by Killovolt1

"There are gems and enchants, although there are no weapon enchants in Legion and ones from Warlords don't work on weapons above ilvl 850."

You mean above ilvl 749, right ? :)

Comment by Vegelus

Heroic dungeons require ilvl 810 to queue (no Proving Grounds silver like past expansions)

Only WoD had that requirement. MoP just introduced Proving Grounds, but it was optional activity, with achievements/titles rewards.

Comment by MaXiiczek

Why are there no information about items from PvP?

Comment by lankybrit

I actually think with this guide here now, I won't bother doing a Gearing up when you hit 110 guide. This one fully suffices.

Comment by integeroverflow

The reputation gear for the 820 is at Revered and not Honored as noted in the guide.

Comment by frmorrison

Perc, there is a mistake in this guide. This sentence has two errors: "All factions have an ilvl 820 pice at Honored and ilvl 850 piece at Exalted." The 820 gear is at revered and the word "pice" is misspelled.

Comment by Briyanna

Quick correction:
Nithogg drops a cloak, not a head - just completed him, and got Windwhipped Greatcloak

Comment by girac

There is also level 800 gear for completing zones. Picked this up from a comment in a quest guide.

By TegoZanduba (24,279 – 5·27·225) 12 days ago (Patch 7.0.3)

The four leveling Pillars of Creation all reward a level 800 gear item for the final quest, this is the only one that doesn't require a dungeon. This might be something to consider for the order you'll be doing them in.
The Tears of Elune, at the end of Val'sharah ( That's Val'sharah Folks! - 2 chapters don't count), awards the Chest slot
The Aegis of Aggramar, at the end of Stormheim ( Vrykul Story, Bro), awards the Leg slot
The Hammer of Khaz'goroth, at the end of Highmountain ( Ain't No Mountain High Enough, awards the Hands slot
The Tidestone of Golganneth, at the end of Azsuna ( Azsuna Matata - 2 chapters don't count), awards the Waist/Belt slot

Comment by JGPenfield

Nice informative guide and I learned a lot about gear that was confusing to me because of the extensive changes. I have a complaint, not about this guide, but the changes by Blizzard. For 10 years I used WOWhead to help me decide what quests and dungeons I needed to do get the best gear. It was fun searching WOWhead to determine my strategy for the game and it gave me a plan to use when playing. But now it seems all you do is any quest, any dungeon or any world boss and hope you get some gear that you can't modify the stats on. You just blindly play the game and Blizzard does everything for you and you are no longer an individual, just another premade Blizzard pawn.

Comment by Purpin

Heroic dungeons require ilvl 845 to queue

This is not correct. I recently leveled an alt, and I can queue for heroic dungeons well below item level 845.
