So I’m fully geared in the Oracular set now after 2 weeks of farming ZM. Time to have a look at this currency I’ve been farming. Oh wow, it allows me to buy the exact same gear I’ve farmed. And in 2 weeks of farming 400 Relics, the gear costs 300 per.
Make them BoA at least…
Agree. It should be BOA 100%. Now with the buff this week, I already have around 1.5k of them on my acc, that are totally useless as the toons have higher than 246 gear in these slots anyways.
It would be a great addition to send them to alts, or better, to just convert to cyphers or anything.
As far as i’m concerned… it’s just a mog set.
It’s typical of Blizzard to put rewards out there, but you can only get them once you don’t need them anymore.
Whoever is the lead designer is doing an awful job with all these unnecesary systems that are artificially time-gated
It shows that blizzard can’t think 2 steps ahead.
Sandworn gear is just a recolour mog.
Each piece would need to be literally 1/5th the cost to make it in any way relevant as gear a character might wear; and even then that’s assuming they aren’t doing any kind of group content.
I wouldn’t mind the cost if the gear could either be upgraded to 265 item level or the gear formed a special open world tier with crazy fun bonuses which greatly enhance the gameplay in the open world. But in its current state I really don’t see the point of having this gear cost this much, especially since it isn’t bound on account.
There was a wowhead article a few weeks ago that the rewards designer for WoW moved on to greener pastures… so hopefully next expac we’ll have someone with more common sense in charge.
yup, garbage i lvl and horrible prices.
Atleast they could made boa.
BoA would not fix their garbage ilvl and horrible prices.
They need an actual function in the ‘gear economy’.
And honestly, it would be great if it was something aimed towards the people who don’t participate in ‘the big 3’. Because those people are underserved as it is.
Like the gear from ZM you get from quests is ‘normal’ gear and the Sandworn stuff is like ‘heroic’ gear, or set gear. That sort of stuff. Something to work towards.
Funny how the simplest solutions such as buffing ilvl are always out of Blizzard’s reach, these items are literally useless in their current form, if they had a unique appearance or something I’d understand but they’re just a recolour of sets already available. 
At 246 ilvl it’s not worth the grind
I liked that in BfA I could get decent gear from Horrific Visions. It’s a shame that Shadowlands is lacking in that regard. Rewards in Shadowlands suck in general.
To be fair, the Sandworn set is just aimed to those who dont want to get involved in instanced content, as a long term goal to farm in the zone. It feels pointless to most of the active and engaged players, because it’s not targeted to you at all, outside of maybe getting the mog if you want it.
See it like a more deterministic way of getting the best gear the zone can give you. Outside of some outliar like Naz’jatar buffed items, never a zone item as been optimal when there is harder way to get gear in instance. It would lower motivation to do those instances.
Apart from this, why didnt they add this “currency” to the currency tab ingame.
We have this amazing tab and than stuff like this, is an item cluttering up my bags.
Would love to see it changed to being just a currency like Cyphers or Lost Relics or whatever.
This is just weird.
Cypher gear tops out at 252, which is better than the Sandworn Relic gear.
I don’t do instanced content & have no use for Sandworn Relics, as all my gear is higher than Sandworn Gear. By the time you farm enough Relics, you have no use for them.
It would be nice if there was a Sandworn Weapon or Off-hand, as I’ve yet to see one of those as a WQ or daily reward.
They actually just buffed up the acquisition rate, but yeah, you are right, you can have better stuff just by doing quests and killing rare with upgrade, my bad.
