Equipment suggestions, wild meanderings

Some of what I say here may be wrong, I dont study WOW like my degree depends on it. But here is some things i've seen. for some this will be a DUH other maybe not.

it looks like gettting justice points from about 0 is going to be a long time to get equipment. (this is probably where i'm wrong but its a forum so being corrected is expected ) so 1650 justice point item getting 70 for the random per should take about 24 days. and the big pieces are 2200 works out to 32 days.


Also i'd suggest avoiding AH unless the gear is perfect for your spec. Dont buy a DPS ring if your a healer/Tank just so you can get in a heroic.
And i've noticed the equipment in the regulars is Okay, but not great, if your lucky to get the piece to drop, then if you get the roll. (Also 1- 1 1/2 hours to do a random is painfull)

So this seems like getting gear is going to take forever. Well fear not, Remember the Faction quartermasters for REP.

If you say I dont have the rep to get it, make sure you've done the quests in the area's.

The game wants you to do everything. Quests, dungeons, heroics, raids, and even PVP.

Like I said, I could be wrong, and I definitly dont "KNOW" wow like the back of my hand, I've had the guild help me understand things, hell even "TELL" me what I needed to do to make my charater better, and i've appreiacted all everyone has/will/does to help players, so thats why i've written this. Some times a quick DUH moment can make the game a lot better for everyone.

Thanks steel for the informative post, to touch on a few things steel is absolutly right if you dont have justice points to buy gear it will take time to do, remember i do believe wotlk heroics still give justice and so does the weekly so if your lacking maybe running some older content will get you the badges you need.

Reputation rewards Shoulder and head enchants along with some key pieces of 359 gear will help boost your stats however stacking items that dont help your stats but boost your ilvl is not wise, try and get it up with equipment that works for you, there are alot of failed heroics due to people having minimum gear that directly effects there DPS. Faction REP REP REP it helps.

Gems and enchants i have been seeing alot of our raiders with little or no gems and enchants on their gear, just becuase its blue doesnt mean that it doesnt need enchants and gems, if its ilvl 333 or 346 gear it better be gemmed and enchanted with the best you can get if your saying to yourself i can tafford to keep re-gemming and enchanting gear if gold is an issue then you maybe in trouble, raiding is expensive enchants repairs and the like will drain you be ready for it. If you have 325,318,316 throw some cheap gems and enchants on it you will see a difference bottom line if your wearing it enchant and gem it, dont let your group down by shorting yourself and them, if you dont take enough time to care about your equipment then you shouldnt be raiding.
