If you want to wade into PvP after grinding those Heroic runs, you might want to consider gearing up for it. If you've been doing Heroics for weeks, it's quite possible that you'll have some Emblems left over considering that most classes will only pick up a few pieces. The shoulders and gloves cost 30 Emblems while the head, legs, and chest cost 45. The Emblems of Heroism Quartermasters in Dalaran sell the entire five-piece set between 30 and 45 Emblems apiece. The items are available through Emblems of Heroism as well as Honor points. I mention this because the first tier of PvP gear, the Savage Gladiator items, can possibly be acquired through pure PvE.

You'll be wasting a lot of item points by way of Resilience, so keep in mind that all this new gear is best for your Battleground and Arena pursuits. These items aren't the best for PvE, so gear accordingly. The Savage Gladiator, Hateful Gladiator, and Deadly Gladiator are equivalent to Level 80 dungeon blues, 10-man raid epics, and 25-man raid epics respectively, with a lot of item points thrown in the way of Resilience and sometimes Stamina. Don't worry, we're here to help you make sense of it all.įirst of all, in the new PvP rewards system there are three tiers of PvP gear. I know I wrote about it in an old post, but quite a bit has changed since Beta, and some things don't quite apply. I'm sure it's taken a few players by surprise to see so many new PvP gear available from different sources that it can get confusing. It kind of crept in quietly, without even a patch to go along with it. That said, Arena Season 5 started the other day without so much as a whimper. With gear upgrades these days being so easy to come by, I'm not so sure 'welfare epics' is such an accurate term for PvP gear anymore.
