Not really 8.1 but anyway - so last night I discovered the warfront 370 is a "everytime" thing and not just a once off. I was...surprised to say the least. It seems pretty early on for welfare heroic epics for doing a scenario that you can't really loose. So ok free 370 everytime the flip occurs BUT the scaling for dailies azurite cache's still isn't right! This is really frustrating.

From what I understand you need an average ilvl of 370 to get a 370...that seems wrong. My ilvl is 362 and I'm getting 355 gear (which for the most part is going to be useless) like why? You give us a free 370 (with a minimum of 330 to enter the scenario) which is a good reward but give us shitty rewards for doing dailies (that are more of a grind sometimes). I dunno am I the only one that's confused by that logic?

There are a lot of things that aren't making sense concerning BfA and how a variety of systems work, unfortunately, and the most recent Q&A further proved that.

No, it's bizarre at best. And the warfronts are so protracted and convoluted I don't even bother paying attention to what stage they are at at this point. Which...doesn't bode well for the rest of the expansion.

I so love that Heritage armour for blood elves but mine was a boost so he's only honoured - is old wrath dungeons with the tabard the best way for rep you think? I have most of the mounts so there's no motivation except maybe transmog lol

I'd say so yeah. Can you still donate cloth for rep?

I don't think so. Doing old quests in the first couple of zones (Eversong, Ghostlands) and wearing the tabard and running dungeons are the best options.

Yeah I think Wowhead did some rep guide a month or so ago. I think one of the best ways to rep up is to get the tabard for that city and then running Arcatraz (TBC dungeon) repeatedly. Really really fast way. I'll see if I can find the guide again.


Edit:
Here it is, also I was wrong, it was the Mechanar dungeon.

Sorry for all the typos, blasted autocorrect.

Is it only dungeons that is works on? Not raids i'm assuming?

From what I've read everything up to WoD can grant rep, but heroic Wrath dungeons seem to be a good way to go if you don't mind flying to each dungeon. Someone on wowhead reported getting 2-3k per dungeon.

If you don't have that white Hawkstrider it may pay to farm that BC dungeon too.
