THE EQUIPMENT UPDATE IS LIVE!
We rebuilt equipment from the ground up!
Out with the old
The old items didn't fit the new system. They had no roles, their stats followed the old balance and they couldn't show on your hero. So all old equipment has been removed. Don't worry, we're making it up to you.
Free new gear for everyone
Next time you log in, a popup lets you pick one weapon, armor, helmet and boots for free. You can choose any piece within ±10 levels of your own, so you can mix and match for the role you want to play.
You only get to choose once, so pick wisely! (Pieces above your level go into your bag until you can wear them.)
Then you'll get a second gift: 30 Raidsteel Ingots + 4 Soulforge Embers for the Smith, so you can upgrade your new gear right away.
Gear is built for a role
Every level range now has four sets: Tank, Healer, DPS and Allround.
- No role is simply stronger. The points just move to where the role needs them: Tank = more defense, Healer = more vitality, DPS = more strength
- Weapons have a class: melee, bow, damage wand or healing wand
- Wear several pieces of a set to unlock set bonuses
Your gear decides your raid role
In raids your role comes from what you wear. Every piece that matches your role makes you better at your job: +4% each, up to +16% with a full set!
Brand-new hand-drawn look
Every piece is hand-drawn and shows on your hero, in combat, while travelling and at the campfire. Gear goes all the way to level 100: Ironhold Depths, Stormcoast Cliffs, Jade Jungle Ruins, Bloodmoon Marches, Skyforge Aeries and Shattered Heavens.
Cosmetics got a glow-up too
Outfits, hats, weapons, auras, wings and capes have all been redrawn with glows and particles. Every cosmetic slot now has a None option, so you can show off your real gear instead!
See you in game!
