So, I’ve figured out so far the basics of gearing - get 2/4 tier set pieces, craft 2 conquest gear pieces with embellishments, craft the rest of the gear with perfect stat distribution.
I’m confused about two parts though - what are gems? I saw the item “Forged Jeweler’s Setting” - on which items should I use this, to add gem slots? Where do I get the gems?
And also, when I submit a crafting order for a conquest piece of gear, I always use the level 3 crafting ingredients, but I’m not seeing the Algari Missive (secondary stat) on the item itself - did the crafting order fail or something? If so, do I need to re-craft it and try over and over? It’s honestly very confusing.
Bonus question: is Cyrce ring worth it over conquest ring?
Forged Jeweler’s Setting is the item where you can get sockets for helmet, amulet, bracer, belt and ring. You can only get it through 3x Vicious Bloodstones and 5000 Honor for PvP.
You can use different variations of gems that give secondary stat like Haste/Vers etc that you put into the gem slot. There are different gems for different secondary stats.
Amber, Emerald, Onyx, Ruby, Sapphire are the normal bases with different names depending on what stat it gives. Can be bought through AH.
Theres also unique gems depending what spec you play but they have the base called: Bloodstone.
Unless you care about the PvE ilvl on the PvP items, you dont need to use T3 crafting mats.
The missive itself is something you buy from the AH, and something you put in when you make a crafting order.
Bottom left there is usually 2 options: Embellishment and Customize secondary stats.
You press on customize secondary stats and use the missive that gives you what you want. You can only ask for recrafting through guild order or personal order I believe though if its already crafted.
Thank you for taking your time out to explain everything!
Just still curious about missives and crafting - I commissioned a helm to be made with versa/haste for example, but I’m not seeing those stats on the helm, like, it’s not showing additional secondary stats.
Or does that show when you put a gem on the item piece? Because that’s what I’ve been seeing on other players, says "enchanted: vers+ , mastery + " for example.
The enchants are what you can use on Cloak, Chest, Wrist, Legs, Feet and rings.
Different enchants for different parts.
You can see all those enchants by just going to ah, write “enchant” - Filter you put in “Current Expansion Only” and search.
“Formula:” are not the “enchants” you want to buy though. Those are just recipes so you can craft those enchants yourself if you have the profession Enchanter. Usually not worth it for majority.
The enchants for example on rings can be Haste, Crit, Mastery or Vers. Most likely there you saw it.
When you try to put up a order for a helmet, you use the normal crafting mats. If you hover over the item, (top left) it will tell you “Random Stat 1 and Random Stat 2”. Those can be any of the 4 secondary stats, pure RNG.
If you put in the missive, you are guaranteed to get the 2 secondary stats the missive is telling you. You can see that by putting in the missive and hover over the item. Algari Missive ofcourse.
