General PSA for Survival Hunters
The Warmongering Combatant's Pike is blue quality and goes to level 730 in PvP, only a 10 point loss if you've got a full season 3 conquest set. At any rate, it's preferable to the level 650 freebie!
Good luck.

Yeah, that does seem to be the case of how it works. You get a polearm that's supposed to be fairly equivalent to the raid tier of Archimonde you have defeated. It only seems to consider Archimonde kills. I've killed heroic archimonde, but I'm still only 11/13 H HFC (I missed two bosses one night) and I was still mailed an epic 705 polearm. My friend who has progressed 10/13 Mythic (no Archimonde kills) did not get a higher ilvl polearm than me. But another hunter I saw had a 720 ilvl polearm.

Ahhh, good to know! I only killed him on normal once, so I guess that was reflected there.Rikaku wrote:Lupen202 wrote:For some reason, I got a 705 ilvl polearm in the mail.

Re: General PSA for Survival Hunters
For example I had a ilvl 715 gun, but it was upgraded twice, making it's base ilvl 705. That's the polearm ilvl I got.
PvP items seem to be given a 655 replacement (my warrior had this) regardless of ilvl due to pvp now having set stats for every class.
I no longer main my Hunter; Legion changes have unfortunately put me off from the class. However I still plan to stick around for the community here ^^
My Current Main! (Updated once more as I switched factions!)

Re: General PSA for Survival Hunters
They come in 655, 690, 705, and 720.
Re: General PSA for Survival Hunters
My level 26 hunter received an ilevel 29 polearm for his survival attempts.
Re: General PSA for Survival Hunters
I had an ilvl690 (upgraded to 700) polearm on my main, and she was not sent one in the mail. Lol.

Re: General PSA for Survival Hunters
That makes sense, though it does feel silly that my 706 DK suddenly has 655 1H because I didn't gear him through raids. Its only for 5 weeks though since the Artifact is obtained very early.Bendak wrote:The polearm you got is based on raid experience. If you were getting heroic caches from shipyard missions, you'll get the heroic polearm. If you were only getting LFR caches, you'll get the 655 one, etc.

Re: General PSA for Survival Hunters
Yeah I found that really shitty too. I had higher Tanaan level gear on my Frost DK, so his two-hander was in the 695 - early 700s range. It was replaced by a pair of crap 655s. Really poor handling of the switch. They were too mean to even offer Tanaan level replacements?Quiv wrote:That makes sense, though it does feel silly that my 706 DK suddenly has 655 1H because I didn't gear him through raids.

I wanted to make sure everyone who didn't get the weaponry they needed knew they had an option.

Alternatively, if you're a massive alt-o-holic like me with an Inscriptionist that has 835 War Paints, 45 Savage Blood, 90 Felblight, 45 Sorcerous Water, 90 Sorcerous Air, and the required recipes, you can craft an Etched-Blade Warstaff, max it to 705, and re-roll the secondary stats until you get the one you like.Kalliope wrote:If you're willing to stick it out to win five battlegrounds, you can buy a level 700 pike from the honor quartermaster in Stormshield/Warspear. Or you could get lucky and get it as a loot box drop, like I did.
The Warmongering Combatant's Pike is blue quality and goes to level 730 in PvP, only a 10 point loss if you've got a full season 3 conquest set. At any rate, it's preferable to the level 650 freebie!
Good luck.
I know the focus has been on Polearms because that's what the Survival Artifact Weapon will be, but Hunters can still use Staves, Two-Handed Swords, and Two-Handed Axes, including the craftable WoD ones. And yes, Staves can be mogged into Polearms, Two-Handed Swords, and Two-Handed Axes
*On a side note, Survival Spec plays a lot like pre-7.0 Enhancement Shaman, just with a few more attacks to manage.

That is also a great idea! So many mats just lying around at this point.Sigrah wrote:Alternatively, if you're a massive alt-o-holic like me with an Inscriptionist that has 835 War Paints, 45 Savage Blood, 90 Felblight, 45 Sorcerous Water, 90 Sorcerous Air, and the required recipes, you can craft an Etched-Blade Warstaff, max it to 705, and re-roll the secondary stats until you get the one you like.Kalliope wrote:If you're willing to stick it out to win five battlegrounds, you can buy a level 700 pike from the honor quartermaster in Stormshield/Warspear.

Alternately, this would be a great way of giving others who might need the upgrade a boost (and earn yourself some gold on the side).
