Yashima Plays

So here’s my plan for minimum effort to obtain a nice starter set of spellpower items to heal and dps at level 80:

• Head: Helm of the Majestic Stag (requires Kirin’Tor Honored, effort: easy)
• Neck: Emeline’s Locket (Quest Reward, effort: easy)
• Shoulders: Purehorn Spaulders (Leatherworking, effort: moderate – obscure mats)
• Back: Dark Soldier Cape (requires Knights of Ebon Blade Honored, effort: easy)
• Chest: Wildscale Breastplate (Leatherworking, effort: easy)
• Wrists: Storming Vortex Bracers (BoE Drop = AH Camping, effort: moderate)
• Hands: Awakened Handguards (Heroic BoE drop = AH Camping, effort: moderate)
• Waist: Overcast Belt (Leatherworking, PvP Item, effort: easy)
• Legs: Giant-Friend Kilt (requires Sons of Hodir Revered, effort: moderate)
• Feet: Tundra Wolf Boots (BoE Drop = AH camping, effort: moderate)
• Fingers: Ring of Northern Tears (Jewelcrafter, effort: easy), Ring of Temerity (Quest, effort: easy)
• Trinkets: Mercurial Alchemist Stone (Self Crafted, effort: easy), Cannoneer’s Fuselighter (Quest, effort: easy)
• Weapon: Flameheart Spell Scalpel (requires Kirin’Tor Revered, effort: moderate)
• Off-Hand: Frostbridge Orb (Heroic BoE drop = AH camping, effort: moderate)
• Idol: Idol of Arcane Terror (30 Venture Coins, effort: easy)

Since I will of course also be running an instance every once in a while each and any of these items can be replaced by what I can obtain through instances. I just hate to depending on winning a roll on an item that doesn’t even drop every time on a boss.

What I am wondering while looking through items: is there no Hit Rating + Spellpower Gear???

The most stressful will probably be to camp the AH for the BoE items and get to Revered with the Kirin’Tor. Currently I am half-way to honored thanks to the Cooking quest. We have already finished most of the other quests that award Kirin’Tor faction. So I’ll have to champion them at 80. I have no idea how hard the Sons of Hodir reputation will be to earn …

Update: I already managed to snag the boots and the off-hand and I am finally making my new Alchemist’s trinket. I decided that in direct comparison for “leveling items” I will keep my S3 Wrists and S3 Chest instead of choosing the items selected above. I’ll see if any upgrades come when they came
