Level 60: where gear will come from

  • Pre-raid: Alcaz Prison, Shaper's Terrace, the Drowned City, Krol'dok Stronghold and Hyjal quests; hit and crit are merged, so 'spell hit' and 'spell crit' items are the same stat budget as melee ones.
  • Crafted: Tailoring school-specific sets ('Flame', 'Shadow', 'Pearly' at L20 — expect the same lines at 60), Enchanting ring Spell Power, Alchemy trinket.
  • Wands lost spell-damage scaling on 24 Sep — treat the ranged slot as stats only.
  • Raids open 9 December; no level-60 BiS exists yet.
