I still have dragonflight did not buy the new expansion yet. By looking at the max item level that i can get in raid mythic is 496. How do some people level 70 have item level around 500? Are there other ways to get better gears than mythic raids?
Another thing i noticed is that some characthers have a lower item level than mine but insane amount of health. How does that come? Better gear, they levelled them up or there’s more than that? (obviously i do not refer to tanks only).
In instances by inspecting the players and looking at their item level i noticed that it says that stats of those gears are increased when playing in instances, do they use something?
Some of them replace some pieces of gear with something that looks like the mark honors that i get by playing pvp, what’s that? Thank in advance.
This will be from upgrading those items with crests. Also some items from higher M+ keys and such would sometimes give you Myth tracked gear at 2/4 for example.
Depends on the class, talents etc. Not all classes are going to be the same when it comes to stats. Also items can provide a great boost in stats as well.
I’m not 100% sure on this, as I’ve never noticed that tooltip.
This will be PvP gear, that you can buy from PvP vendors within the main cities. You can earn that currency to buy those pieces of gear by taking part in arenas/skirmishes or battlegrounds.
PvP gear in open world only counts if you’re in Warmode, if no that’s not enabled, then there is no real benefit from using it over normal PvE gear.
To add into that, even if you’re in warmode the effects will not activate until you enter combat with a player or a PvP NPC (for example enemy faction guards if you invade their city).
