Townlong Steppes to get some sweet, sweet epics.
Valor Points still have their place as well. For just 250 Valor points, you
can add four Item Levels to a piece of Epic gear, and you can upgrade any piece
twice.
If you’re looking to gear up in a hurry, that’ll probably give you the
most bang for your buck. Even if you don’t have anything you’d like to upgrade
just yet, it’s likely more worthwhile to hang onto your Valor until you do.
Or Maybe Just Stab Someone
Rather dive into some PvP? Perfect. Patch 5.4 brings a brand spanking new PvP
season, and that means brand spanking new PvP gear. Honor Points can now be used
to purchase ilvl 496 PvP gear, and Conquest Point gear starts off at 522. You
can, of course, jump into Rated PvP and start earning Conquest Points at any
time you like, but it’s probably wise to start off with some Random
Battlegrounds to earn some Honor Gear.
Thanks to some changes in Patch 5.3,
non-PvP gear can still work well for
entry-level PvP. If you like, you can head to the Timeless Isle or even run some
dungeons for a few pieces. It’ll still probably be fastest to earn the Honor
gear, but it’s always good to have a little variety in your diet, right?
