So look no further as today we will review seven quickest possible ways to gear up your character in Dragonflight Season 4 in this ultimate wow gearing guide.

Table of content

Easy PvE Gear from Weekly and Daily activities

In Dragonflight Season 4, as with previous two seasons, all the gear coming from all sources have additional item ranks and can be upgraded with a combination of Flightstones currency added in patch 10.1 and new Awakened Crests, obtained by completing almost all types of end-game content. And the easiest gear source for any player in the Dragonflight expansion, most of which can be obtained even solo, is a PvE gear rewarded for different renewed activities in all Dragon Isles zones, as well as in Zaralek Cavern and Emerald Dream.

Outdoor sources of gear you can get without breaking a sweat

There are several outdoor sources of gear, which you can get: first, you can get 454-463 item level Explorer gear by completing World Quests which reward gear. This world quest gear can be upgraded to up to 476 item level with a combination of Flightstones and new Awakened Crests currencies obtained through completing different PvE end-game content.

World Quests in Dragonflight spawn twice during one week and they become available on all characters when you complete the Dragonflight storyline campaign with one character and unlock Adventure mode so it's an easy way to get some catch up gear for your alts too. Keep in mind though - you will need to complete first chapters of relative campaigns to unlock world quests and other endgame content in Zaralek Cavern and Emerald Dream zones.

Additionally to that, all repeatable world activities in Dragonflight Season 4, such as Superbloom, Dreamsurges, Time Rifts, Researchers under Fire and Fyrakk Assaults, were updated and now offer 467-476+ ilvl Adventurer gear, which can be upgraded up to 489 ilvl, making them another great source of catch up gear.

Renewed weekly quest in Valdrakken is worth completing now

In Season 4 there's a new weekly quest available in Valdrakken from Therazal. Each week you have one of 3 quests active: Last Hurrah: Dragon Isles, Last Hurrah: Zaralek Caverns and Time Rifts or Last Hurrah: Emerald Dream. To complete this quest you need to perform different world activities in Dragon Isles zones, Zaralek Cavern or Emerald Dream during the week. This quest rewards with 493+ item level Champion gear item which can be upgraded all the way up to 515 item level, making it on par with with current season's Heroic raid!

These gear source farm methods are quite simple, but at the same time can be very time consuming. We are ready to help you to complete this weekly quest to get a guaranteed item of 493+ item level with lots of Drake's Awakened Crests and Flightstones rewarded as a bonus with our Awakened Weekly Quest boost service so save yourself lots of time on a boring farm routine.

Season 4 Dungeon tuning and gear rewards

In Dragonflight Season 4 all dungeon content was tuned with their difficulty and rewards being increased. Now with the new changes heroic dungeons will get to the level of mythic 0 from previous seasons, and mythic 0 dungeons were recalibrated and moved up to the level of previous mythic+ 8-10 keystone level (but without timer), making these dungeons viable sources to get some gear upgrades even during late seasons. Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon is also joining to the dungeon tuning.

Heroic Dungeons bosses now drop 476 item level Adventurer gear, which can be upgraded to 489 item level, and all Mythic dungeons with (including Dawn of the Infinite) drop 493 ilvl Champion gear, which can be upgraded up to 515 item level. Additionally to that, same as with mythic+ dungeons, completing these dungeons also unlock items in the Great Vault, giving you an opportunity to choose from up to 3 items of 489 ilvl from heroics and 506 ilvl from mythic 0 respectively as weekly reward for completing 1/4/8 dungeons.

Dawn of the Infinite Megadungeon was updated and is relevant again

Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon on mythic difficulty is still available as a big 8 boss-dungeon, dropping same 493+ ilvl gear as other mythic 0 dungeons. And as a bonus, any player who completes the Immortal run (killing all bosses without any player dying during the run) will get a unique Ensemble: Infinite Acolyte's Regalia, which unlocks Infinite version of the Dragon-themed transmog for all 4 armor types (Plate, Mail, Leather and Cloth).

Dawn of the Infinite megadungeon on heroic mode is splitted by two 4-boss dungeons: Dawn of the Infinite: Galakrond's Fall and Dawn of the Infinite: Murozond's Rise, with bosses dropping heroic level 476+ ilvl gear, granting players an opportunity to run them daily instead of weekly lockout for mythic 0, drastically increasing chances to get the coolest and, for someone, even seasonal BiS items from this dungeon. This dungeon's loot table includes gear for each slot for all classes so it is fully possible that you can gear up fully only by going into this mega dungeon each week.

Find a group for WoW dungeons without breaking a sweat

Want to find a good group for completing heroic or mythic dungeons, as well as for Dawn of the Infinite Mega-Dungeon runs and have better chances with loot thanks to loot trading from other players of the same armor type?

Earn Mythic Plus Gear in Dragonflight Season 4

Traditionally mythic plus dungeons remain one of the best sources to get high item level gear in World of Warcraft Dragonflight. The higher level of the mythic+ keystone you've got, the higher item level of the gear piece you will get in the end of the mythic plus dungeon run, plus the Great Vault drops items with even higher ilvl. With the release of Dragonflight Season 4, mythic+ content also got some tuning making keystone level 10 the highest rewarding level compared to level 20 from previous seasons, bringing it to the same level in terms of difficulty. Additionally to that, all 8 dragonflight dungeons returned together to the mythic+ rotation providing players with new loot tables and bis lists.

The item levels range in Season 4 Mythic+ Dungeons have been raised compared to previous seasons and are now from 496 item level champion gear for completing Mythic+ 2 dungeon to 509 ilvl Hero gear for completing mythic+ 10 or higher dungeon. You can also upgrade your mythic plus gear (as any other Dragonflight Season 4 gear) with Flightstones and Awakened Crests to up to 522 ilvl, which drop from different keystone levels. The rewards from the Great Vault increased as well and are now from 509 ilvl hero item(s) for completing Mythic+ 2 up till 522 ilvl item(s) (upgrade level: Myth 2/4) for completing Mythic+ 10 or higher.

Some tips and tricks for optimal gearing in mythic+

There will be few dos and don'ts here. Do not waste your Flightstones and Awakened Crests on the items from low keys. If possible, try to reach out the best in slot gear pieces and collect new currency and crests as much as you can. They will be in your favor this season if you have plenty of them.

In order to get a great mythic plus team for any key level, just press here and hire our players to do the required amount of Mythic Plus Dungeon Boost Runs for you. As usual, you can still select most convenient time of your run, add loot traders and select specific dungeons on a product page.

The best Raiding Gear from Awakened Raids

Awakened Raids arrived in Dragonflight Season 4 and are renewed versions of previous Dragonflight raids with increased difficulty by adding special affix/ability to all boss fights of the raids, and increased item levels of gear dropped from bosses as well. Each week one of three raids: Vault of the Incarnates, Aberrus and Amirdrassil becomes Awakened, rotating on a weekly basis. The gear dropped from bosses in Awakened raids has from 480-489 item levels on LFR difficulty to up to 519-528 item level on Mythic difficulty. As usual, gear items from the raid are the best but this time it's even better than "the best" since Season 4 Class Tier Sets are here once again and they drop from bosses in the raid. Additionally to that, all Awakened raiding gear can be re-crafted to tier set items with the help of Revival Catalyst. Also, in Dragonflight season 4 raiding gear has upgrade ranks as well and can also be upgraded with Flightstones and Awakened Crests, which also drop from the bosses in the Awakened raids, so eventually you will have even more powerful gear in time.

The biggest change in raids in Dragonflight is that the Personal loot system is gone and is now replaced with a Group Loot system meaning that each boss will drop some amount of random loot to the whole raid based on quantity of players in raid without loot lockout. That's why we are offering special packages of loot runs in our Awakened Normal, Awakened Heroic and even Awakened Mythic raids allowing you to have minimum quantity of players without loot cooldown in your raid, choose your loot priority and have a minimum item guarantee.

Weekly Great Vault is still a big factor in getting the best gear

And last, but not least, don't forget about the Great Vault! You can unlock up to 3 items of 493-502 item level for killing 2+/4+/7+(6+) bosses in Awakened Normal raid, 506-515 ilvl for killing bosses in Awakened Heroic raid and 519-528 ilvl items for killing bosses in Awakened Mythic raid. Need a cool group for the Awakened raid runs or a full gear service to get new raid gear in each item slot of your character guaranteed? Hire our raiding group to join any of our Awakened Raids Boost runs today. Simply select your raid, its difficulty, loot options and get your raid spot appointed in no time. And don't forget to upgrade boost run in your order to have maximum amount of loot possible and minimum item guarantee from your loot run.

Awakened World Events Catch-up gear in Season 4

With the launch of WoW Dragonflight: Season 4 new ways to obtain some cool catch-up gear arrived. And one of the most interest are the renewed World Events, which occur every hour or half an hour in open world of Dragonflight zones. During event phases players need to perform special activities during the timer and then complete the final encounter. But now during the new season, every week some portion of these events, related to awakened raid week, offer upgraded rewards on a weekly rotation. Awakened Vault week upgrades Dragon Isles world events, Awakened Aberrus week upgrades Zaralek Cavern world events and finally when Amirdrassil raid becomes Awakened - all Emerald Dream related events are upgraded during that week.

Completing every Awakened World Event first time during the week will award you with a special treasure cache, which contains one 480-489 ilvl veteran item guaranteed, as well as some Drake's Awakened Crest and Flightstones used to upgrade this gear. And by using Revival Catalyst you can transform this gear into Season 4 Tier sets, preparing your character for any upcoming challenges fast and easy.

Complete all weekly awakened World Events to get some useful gear

And last but not least, all World bosses related to awakened week become awakened too, so you can kill them for a chance to get an item of 499 item level Champion gear (upgradeable to 515 ilvl). We have prepared a special Dragonflight World Events Boost where your can buy all required weekly activities conveniently in one place, so check this out.

Also, with the season 4 all gear rewarded from Dreamsurges and Time Rifts events were upgraded to relevant item level making them an ideal source of catching up gear for your recently leveled alts or your main if you haven't played for a while. Completing these activities rewards with special items, which can be exchanged for 467+ item level gear guaranteed (this is Adventurer tier gear which can be upgraded to up to 489 ilvl), and doing repeatable stuff such as farming Dreamsurge Coalescence or Paracausal Flakes currencies, allows you to get additional 454+ ilvl explorer gear upgradeable to 476 ilvl. It means that every week you can get up to 2 guaranteed 467 ilvl items in a specific slots with an ability to upgrade them to 489 item level, and fill all other slots with 454+ gear, fully gearing up your character.

Crafted Gear - craft and upgrade your gear in Dragonflight Season 4

Crafting is great because you can usually find a lot of crafted items in the auction house super cheap right when you hit max level. However, in WoW: Dragonflight Season 4 by using the Crafting order system or doing it yourself you can get very cool crafted gear from 473 item level to up to 525 item level by adding special crafting reagents: Spark of Awakening, which replaced previous Spark of Dreams and new Enchanted Awakened Crests, which replaced Enchanted Dreaming Crests from DF Season 3.

Item level of a final crafted item is determined not only by additional optional reagent, but also by the quality of crafted item itself. There are a total of 5 quality ranks right now, with each rank increasing the item level of crafted item by 3-4 ilvl per each item upgrade level. Additionally to Enchanted crests and/or Spark, you can add Embelishments to your crafted items - special effects which enhance your performance. One common embellishment for dpsers is the Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch, causing occasional direct damage to both an enemy and yourself. Some items come naturally embellished and such embellishments cannot be removed. Remember, you can equip only two embellished items at the same time, as they hold immense power for your character, but at the same time, you can use any number of non-embellished crafted items alongside.

How to upgrade your crafted gear item levels with Enchanted crests

In Season 4, like in Season 3, Enchanted Awakened Crests are created by enchanters using common Awakened Crests dropped from any end-game sources of Season 4. In order to create these enchanted crests, you will need either to have Enchanting profession and obtain respective recipes which drop as a reward from Valdrakken weekly quest chest, or either to place enchanting Work Order via Work Orders system providing your own Awakened Crests to craft them.

There are 3 different levels of Enchanted Awakened Crests: Enchanted Whelpling's Awakened Crest, Enchanted Wyrm's Awakened Crest and Enchanted Aspect's Awakened Crest. All these enchanted crests along with Spark of Awakening are soulbound, so you can't trade, sell or send them to your alts. And that also means that during the crafting process or recrafting an item with another crest applied, you will have to provide your own sparks of dreams and enchanted crests if you want to increase an item level of the crafted piece of gear you want to order, even when using Personal Crafting Orders.

Enchanted Whelpling's Awakened Crests are applied to any Rare Quality crafted gear or weapons to increase its item level to up to 473-486 ilvl. These enchanted crests can be crafted by or with the help of enchanter by providing 1x Nascent Whelpling's Awakened Crest which is sold by Enchanting Vendor for 30x Whelpling's Awakened Crest and are great for a fresh 70 level character to increase its item level. Enchanted Wyrm's Awakened Crests, which requires 1x Nascent Wyrm's Awakened Crest to craft (45x Wyrm's Awakened Crests), and BiS Enchanted Aspect's Awakened Crest infusion, required 1x Nascent Aspect's Awakened Crest sold for as many as 60x Aspect's Awakened Crest items, can be applied to any Epic Quality crafted gear and weapons to increase the base crafted item's item level to up to 502-515 and 512-525 ilvl respectively, and that's on par with Awakened Mythic raiding gear!

Get your Sparks of Awakening on a regular basis

Additionally to Enchanted Crests, all epic gear crafts require Spark of Awakening item, which is rewarded for completing weekly quest in Valdrakken, as well as from different end-game content, collecting Splintered Spark of Awakening every week, basically giving you one Spark of Awakening every 2 weeks guaranteed. And there is even a catch up system implemented for alts, who would gladly wear some cool epic crafted gear - these characters will have a chance to loot splintered sparks from different end-game activities until they catch up to the current spark count.

Crafted Epic Gear is great for anyone who is trying to craft the best gear possible that's why we think it is absolutely mandatory to have. And if you have troubles in getting required amount of Awakened Crests to craft the most powerful crafted gear, simply use our Awakened Crest Farm Boost service and our pro players will handle all the routine.

Farm Season 4 PvP Gear for Conquest and Honor

There are 2 types of gear available from PvP Vendor: Unrated or Honor pvp gear and Rated or Conquest pvp gear. Unrated Gear is sold for Honor points earned from any PvP activities, has 515 PvP item level.

Conquest gear is sold for Conquest points earned for engaging in rated pvp activities. Item costs depend on the item slot. Ranked Conquest gear has 528 PvP item level and its non-PvP counterpart can also be upgraded with flightstones and awakened crests and by reaching highest PvP Rank.

Also, in Dragonflight Season 4 special items called Crest of Honor and Trophy of Conquest still persist, which can turn any craftable Epic gear item into a PvP item. These items are sold for Honor and Conquest points respectively and will increase PvP item level of a crafted item they were used on: Crest of Honor will increase pvp ilvl to 515, Trophy of Conquest - to 528 ilvl.

You can buy PvP items in any item slot, as soon as you have enough Honor and Conquest points and you will need around 10500 Honor and 9800 Conquest in order to buy full PvP gear for your character. Honor points can be farmed without limit, so you can acquire any amount of Honor Gear and gear up your character in PvP gear at whatever rate you want. But please note that upgrading your Honor gear to rank 5 will require tons of awakened crests and flightstones farmed, and also upgrading Conquest gear to a higher rank in turn will require gaining a higher Season 4 PvP rating.

Get the best Elite PvP Gear by earning 1800 rating

Additionally to that, by reaching 1800 PvP Rating in either Solo Shuffle, Arena or RBG, you will unlock full Elite PvP Gear transmog set featuring new color of Conquest gear with some cool visual effects on helm and shoulder pieces. But you will have to score such rating for every character you want to unlock it on since PvP rating is a character-tied feat. But fear not, with our Elite PvP Gear Boost service you will get the best gladiator gear and prepare your character for any PvP endgame activities.

In the end, it will take big amounts of Honor to buy full PvP Honor gear to prepare your character for Ranked PvP, making it one of the most required currency to farm in order to buy your PvP Gear. Do you need to get a higher Rank in Dragonflight PvP Season 4 in any Rated PvP activity or get the required amount of honor or conquest points to buy needed pvp gear? Here we are to help you with our most relevant PvP Boost Carry Services. Our managers are also ready to advise you on the requirements for your character's gear to get the highest rating possible!
