In WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria, upgrading gear has always been a top priority for players. This is especially true once you reach level 90 and want to challenge raids or even heroic raids.
However, grinding gear often requires a significant investment of time and gold, and the prices of items in Auction House can be prohibitive.
This guide will teach you six ways to obtain essential gear without spending gold in under 10 minutes. Let's take a look at each of these six methods.
1. Obtaining Free Weapons
First, let's start with the simplest and most direct way to obtain free weapons in 10 minutes. This is the first step for level 90 players, or any alt-player, to obtain powerful gear. The specific steps are as follows:
- Step 1: Reach level 90
- Step 2: Queue for Arena of Annihilation scene
- Step 3: After 10 minutes, defeat the mini-boss to obtain an item-level 450 weapon.
This method is undoubtedly the fastest way to increase your gear. In just 10 minutes, you'll have a powerful weapon that will easily carry you through the rest of the game and help you quickly tackle raids and dungeons.
2. Auction House Shortcut
Another way to save time and WoW MoP Classic gold is to obtain gear through Auction House. While it's not completely free, it's extremely inexpensive and can quickly give you an item-level 450 gear set.
For just a few hundred in-game gold, you can get a complete set of Contender's Defense items suitable for PvP and dungeons at Auction House.
To maximize the effectiveness of your gear and increase your damage output, you can add Enchant Weapon - Windsong to your weapon and add Permanently Enchants chest armor.
Also, don't forget to add the Ghost Iron Dragonlink Trinket, which has three customizable Cogwheel Sockets and will greatly enhance your overall combat power.
3. Killing World Bosses
A third way to effortlessly acquire top-tier gear is to kill world bosses. The gear dropped by Sha of Anger and Galleon is perfect for PvP and raiding. Killing them once gives you a chance to obtain epic level 483 gear.
And, surprisingly, killing these two bosses is incredibly easy, so there's no need to worry about your skill level. It's like a free lottery, and in just 15-20 minutes, you have a chance to get top-tier loot.
4. Leverage PvP Gear
The fourth method I've provided is to learn the method of getting ultimate gear used by professional players. The key to this method is to maximize the benefits of PvP gear.
Many players believe that PvP gear is only suitable for Battlegrounds, but in reality, this gear is equally valuable in PvE. Conquest gear in particular boasts a top item level of 483, making it ideal for boosting DPS in combat.
Obtaining this PvP gear is also quite simple. Earn enough Conquest Points in 2v2 Arenas. Regardless of winning or loss, you can earn enough Conquest Points to obtain PvP gear within 90 minutes.
This method bypasses the traditional dungeon farming route, significantly accelerating gear upgrades and making it the most effective of all methods.
5. Be Patient
For players who aren't in a rush to acquire top-tier gear immediately, patience can pay off handsomely.
For example, when the expansion was first released, crafting epic PvE gear required a high-level profession and precious materials. This process took a long time and considerable effort. This resulted in some gear fetching high prices on Auction House.
However, over time, these crafting materials have become easier to obtain, significantly reducing the value of gear on the market. Now is a great time to take advantage of this market shift.
So, if you don't want to spend too much MoP gold, consider teaming up with guildmates or friends to obtain discounted gear and invest in it. Reinforced Retinal Armor (Engineering) Helm, in particular, can be a long-term investment, as its value won't diminish over the coming months or even years.
6. Farm Celestial Dungeons
Farm Celestial Dungeons is the last way to obtain powerful gear for free. It launches on August 12th, and while the difficulty is a bit higher than normal dungeons, the generous rewards are definitely worth the challenge.
These generous rewards include a currency that can be used to obtain Looking For Raid (LFR) quality loot. Best of all, all rewards will be released in a phased manner, making it easy for anyone to obtain a full set of epic gear without ever setting foot in a single organized raid.
In short, improving gear in WoW MoP Classic doesn't necessarily require traditional raiding and high investment. Through the six methods mentioned above, we can get gear for free and improve our overall strength in the game.
