The PTR has revealed a new Azsharan Pearling gear upgrade system on the PTR for Patch 8.2: Rise of Azshara. With the armor tokens and upgrade materials added in this week's build, we can infer many details on how the system will work.
When Nazjatar was first revealed, Blizzard mentioned drawing inspiration from previous endgame zones such as the Isle of Thunder, Timeless Isle, Tanaan Jungle, and Argus. A common aspect of those zones was gear drops intended to catch up returning players and alts, such as the
Timeless Isle armor cache
. The Azsharan armor tokens appear to provide a similar catch up mechanism, so that those characters can catch up to item level 400 while exploring the new game areas, but the Pearling upgrade materials can increase those pieces of gear up to item level 430 - equivalent to Heroic loot from
Palácio Eterno
.
Basics of the System
The
latest PTR build
added pieces of the new system:
Armor Tokens
Cinturão Bêntico
Braçadeiras Bênticas
Elmo Bêntico
Couraça Bêntica
Manto Bêntico
Perneiras Bênticas
Botinas Bênticas
Espaldares Bênticos
Manoplas Bênticas
Upgrade Materials
Kit Perolizador Azsharano
Aperfeiçoamento Perolizador Azsharano
While the tokens themselves are still placeholder, the design is fairly straightforward; similar to the
Timeless Isle armor cache
, the token will create a piece of randomized stat armor for your class/spec, probably around 370 item level. This "Azsharan item" can first be upgraded to an item level 400 "Pearled item" using
Kit Perolizador Azsharano
, and then increased up to six times further with
Aperfeiçoamento Perolizador Azsharano
until it reaches item level 430.
Acquiring Armor Tokens
Following previous catch up gear systems, base tokens will likely be easy to come by, likely looted from normal mobs, rares, and treasures around Nazjatar. The tokens are currently not Bind on Account, meaning they could be tradeable, but the upgrade materials are, so it shouldn't be surprising if the tokens follow; at any rate, players should be able to acquire them on one character and be able to move them to alts at the very least.
Acquiring
Kit Perolizador Azsharano
and
Aperfeiçoamento Perolizador Azsharano
While acquiring the basic items should be fast, the upgrades will likely take more effort to acquire. Exactly how they will be obtained is still to be determined, but should follow previous trends:
The first upgrade,
Kit Perolizador Azsharano
, is likely to be rare but farmable, most likely coming from repeatable quests and rare mobs in Nazjatar.
On the other hand,
Aperfeiçoamento Perolizador Azsharano
will likely have limited sources, as it creates Heroic raid-equivalent items. They'll probably be limited to one-time quests, weekly lockout rares, our purchased with new Bind on Account currencies such as
Marco de Azshara
, also added in this build and used to purchase mounts from new
Reputation Vendors
.
Account-wide Possibilities
While we don't know if the tokens will be bound to the character or account that acquires them, the upgrade materials being bind on account allows players to funnel upgrades to their alts - potentially with multiple characters in order to quickly gear said alt up to Normal or Heroic Palace of Azshara item level. This should prove to be very valuable to altaholics or rerolls who otherwise would have to depend on using their undergeared character to get upgrades from dungeons, raids, or the newer and deadlier zones. Blizzard's intent here seems clear - help players get into the new content coming in 8.2, rather than leaving them stuck on the sidelines due to unlucky drops and low item level. Allowing easier access to higher item level drops also implies they'll be raising the difficulty and rewards from various activities in
Battle for Azeroth
,
as we saw in patch 8.1
