Best way to gear up alt for 11.1?

Delves Loot Breakdown in The War Within Season 2

Non-bountiful delves will drop Item Level 593 non-upgradeable gear across all tiers. Completing Bountiful Delves grants gear as follows:

Delve Tier End of Run Loot Item Level Great Vault Loot Item Level
1-2 600 (Explorer 1/8) 623 (Veteran 1/8)
3 603 (Explorer 2/8) 626 (Veteran 2/8)
4 616 (Adventurer 4/8) 636 (Champion 1/8)
5 623 (Veteran 5/8) 642 (Champion 3/8)
6 629 (Veteran 6/8) 645 (Champion 4/8)
7 636 (Champion 7/8) 648 (Hero 1/6)
8+ 642 (Champion 8/8) 655 (Hero 3/6)

So the siren isle ring is hero 4/6? Interesting. That makes it a pretty compelling reason to go there now, and have a good start to s2 gearing.

Blizz upped the ilvl of the ring heavily because it was really bad on 639. It was worse or the same as a BiS hero 6/6 ring.

I smashed the Siren Isle on my main and geared up about 10 ALTS to about 590ilvl which I am perfectly happy with

On a fresh 80, you can get to about 590 via the siren isles in half an hour.

Do all the ring quests and fill the bar in both the storm and normal instances will give you enough iron for a 584 in every slot (that you can convert to lfr raid gear in the converter thing)
The ring goes up to 658 and you should do it within that half hour.

You ain’t mythic raiding in it, but you’ve a good solid starting point for 11.1

Im saving 10k honor on each Im going to play and would do the same for any new char now before 11.1. Once season begins I just replace everything with higher level honor pieces from vendor and proceed to start farm conquest to eventually replace the honor items. They usually reset conquest but not honor.

I guess for that ring upgrade. But for the other gear, just do it on 1 character, and buy the 584 Veteran gear, upgrade to 600 and done. But no need to do that Isle content on multiple characters, only that ring stuff, but the upgrades seem to drop on these mini bosses now ( I feel it’s 1 per week or something, since only 1 dropped on this 1 )

well, unlocked Siren Isle with my Dracthur and got 584 gear in a single session.

Yeah i just cant bother. 590 is so low it is not worth the effort. Next season apparently we get 639 gear from heroic dungeons (at least, that is what someone said, and i can’t find a resource)
