[Mop] Smart Raiding And Gearing Up

1 post in this topic

So, you just hit level 90 and you want to gear up fast. This guide is for you. First of all, see if you can spare 5k gold. If you can, buy the Conteders set. The Contenders set is a gear set that is equal to 8 items that you can use while gearing up. You can get the whole set for 5k gold. Depending on your armor type you get the set for you. Mail contenders for mail, plate for plate and so on. Just write this in world then wait:

 

WTB Conteders set 5k - armorstype < replace armortype with plate,mail,leather, or cloth.

 

After that you need go and try to find a weapon. You can get the Bind on Account weapons from Pandaria maps depending on the class/spec you are using. Here is a list of BoA weapons:

Scroll down to BoA Weapon Models and check the weapons out. Click the object to the bottom of each weapon page and find it on the map then head there. If you cannot find it, it is probably cause someone looted it before you. So, try at different times. As for hunters there is a weapon that drops for you from one of the elites on Jade Forest. Try finding the elite and kill it.

 

If you cannot find a weapon, do not worry you will eventually get one from world drop. If you cannot wait try finding one in AH.

 

You can get a nice ring without doing any effort at all by autocompleting this quest:

 

Shadow of the Empire

 

The above link will show you where the quest giver resides (Dread Wastes map).

 

After that, you will begin your Justice Points farm journey. Before you start, make sure you are on a level 25 guild to get the JP bonus. After that continue to queue in the Dungeon Finder for Gate of the Setting Sun. When you join the dungeon you do just the first boss and get around 100 Justice Points. After you kill the boss you leave then queue again and repeat. I will share some useful macros that will help you queue, accept and leave fast.  They will be available to the bottom of this topic.

 

One thing you need to focus on is spending your points before hitting the Justice Points cap which is 4k. In order to monitor your Justice Points you can simply press C then go to your Currency tab then click the currency and show on bag. After that you can just open your bags and see the JP count.

 

After you get enough JP you can go ahead and visit the Commander Oxheart npc at Nizao Temple (Townlong Steppes map west of Pandaria):

 

Commander Oxheart

 

You want to get all ilvl489 items with the exception of 4 items which are back, neck, feet, and waist (will get to that later). Main set items will cost 2250 JP each while everything else costs from 1250-1750JP each.

 

After you get all the ilvl489 items mentioned. Go ahead and farm 1250JP more then head to Isle of Thunder and find this NPC (when you teleport it will be to your right):

 

Hiren Loresong

 

Then buy your ilvl496 back. If you do not know how to get into Isle of Thunder. You will find a portal that takes you there from Townlong Steppes map. This link will show you where the portals are for horde and alliance:

After that, you can go ahead and farm ToT(Throne of Thunder) trash for neck, waist and feet. The mobs drop ilvl522 items. That will help you up your average ilvl. ToT is a raid in Isle of Thunder. By now you already know how to get there. Do the 10n raid difficulty killing the mobs up to (and including) the snakes then go out and reset. You can easily reset by changing raid difficulty to 25 then back to 10 and telling everyone to go inside. It takes a while for your items to drop and you wont always win the roll but you get the idea. It is ilvl522 so it is worth it. Keep in mind that you can do 10 runs within 1 hour. After that you will not be able to go inside for a while.

 

After that you can do some raids without any issues at all like HoF(Halls of Fear)10n and ToES(Terrace of Endless Spring)10n. Those raids drop nice items for you and also they give you your most valuable currency which is Valor Points. You can get Valor Points doing several activities. Killing bosses in raids, doing daily quests all around Pandaria. You can also go to Timeless Isle (east of pandaria) then do the weeklies there for Timeless Coins and VP too. The coins can be used to purchage a nice trinket but it takes a while to farm enough coins.

 

If you are in a raiding guild that does 25 man raids, save your locks for when you raid with them. If you are not, join the Raid Finder. Then do both Nightmare(HoF) and ToES(Terrace of Endless Spring). You will get VP and sometimes items. They are not that much but you could get a weapon.

 

Here are the macros that will help you farm JP faster.

 

Dungeon Queue Macro:

/run LeaveParty()
/click LFDQueueFrameTypeDropDownButton
/click DropDownList1Button1
/click LFDQueueFrameFindGroupButton
/click QueueStatusMinimapButton
/click DropDownList1Button2

 

Dungeon Accept Macro:

/click LFDRoleCheckPopupAcceptButton
/click LFGDungeonReadyDialogEnterDungeonButton
/run StaticPopupSpecial_Hide(LFGDungeonReadyPopup)

 

Here is how you use the macros. First of all click the Dungeon Finder then hit specific and choose Gate of the Setting Sun. Then, select your role(s) and close it:

You only need to do this step once after you login into your character. Do not repeat. Just hit the Dungeon Queue Macro macro and you are queued for the DF. That is it. When you see the Dungeon Finder ready message hit the Dungeon Accept Macro. Not only the Dungeon Accept Macro accepts everything. It also hides the bugged role confirm menu so you do not have to close it anymore. After you are done with the dungeon simply hit the Dungeon Queue Macro again and you are out. Hit it again to queue for another dungeon and repeat. If for some reason you hear that you entered the dungeon (joining group sound) but you are not teleported, simply hit the Dungeon Queue Macro once and wait.

 

I wanted to combine the macros but the problem was that the combined macro would not fit and then I would ask you to download an extra addon which I did not want to force to download. Instead I decided to simplify the process by creating an extra macro that will interact with left and right moust clicks. Here it is:

 

/click [button:2] MultiBarRightButton12
/click [nobutton:2] MultiBarRightButton11

 

The above macro will hit two other buttons(macros in our case) based on left and right mouse clicks. Since nobody would chooose the same place for their macros, I decided to show you how to find the specific actionbar names which you will place your macros on.

 

Go to your chat then hit Enter and type /fstack then hit Enter again. You will see some box on your screen that shows messages. Now move your cursor to the designated actionbars that you placed your Dungeon Queue and Dungeon Accept macros on. Write down the first line on top. Then move to the other actionbar and do the same (they are case sensitive so B for example is B not b ). Modify the above macro like this:

 

/click [button:2] NameOfTheActionBarButtonThatHasDungeonAcceptMacro
/click [nobutton:2] NameOfTheActionBarButtonThatHasDungeonQueueMacro

 

Then place the new macro anywhere you want. Just do not change where the two other macros located or you would have to repeat the steps from /fstack.

 

This is how you use the new macro. Left click it to queue and leave dungeons (and teleport in if the dungeon bugs) and right click it to accept the ready queue. That is it. If you are confused and do not want to do the /fstack steps then simply use this macro:

 

/click [button:2] MultiBarRightButton12
/click [nobutton:2] MultiBarRightButton11

 

Then, enable the Right Action Bars and place the Dungeon Accept macro to the bottom and the Dungeon Queue macro right above it like this:

If you like the guide or have any questions let me know. Please do not repost the macros or guide anywhere without my permission.
