Pre-raid gear
Last modified: November 29, 2011

This page is a list of dungeon, crafted, reputation, quest and points gear to put together a pre-raiding gear set. I’ve included a handful of options for each slot, so that you have some choices. For some people, it may be easier to buy crafted gear; others may have little money but plenty of time to farm heroics for drops, or use reputation items. Your choices may be different to those listed; that’s okay. These are just suggestions.

BOP profession items are not included in this list, but I will include them at the end.

Note: These items are not arranged in any particular order. You may need to reforge these items to optimise them.
