Easy pre Heroic/Naxx10 uncrittable gearset

Def rating needed for crit cap is 689, currently the unenchanted/ungemmed/untrinketed set has 649. The 40is covered from gems/enchants and hopefully trinkets.

These items are not necessarily best in slot for their item level as there is a focus on defense rating, (hopefully allowing for upgrading in Naxx10 without worrying about becoming crittable again).

All items are new in WoTLK, BoE craftable, quest rewards plus one honored rep reward. For crafting rare quality items have been used rather than epic quality due to it being a bare minimum entry level gearset. This should make getting the set very easy.

No defensive/sta trinkets which follow the above rule are available yet (Darkmoon faire deck rewards not out on wowhead). Same for Libram.

Yes a def based weapon was used.


Weapon – Hammer of Quiet Mourning, Quest Reward

Shield - Saronite Bulwark, Blacksmithing

Libram – Venture Co. Libram of Protection, 30 Venture Coin purchasable

Head – Tempered Saronite Helm, Blacksmithing

Neck - Betrayer's Choker , Quest Reward

Shoulders – Tempered Saronite Shoulders, Blacksmithing

Back – Cloak of Peaceful Resolutions, Requires The Wyrmrest Accord- Honored

Starting with ore? Pretty please?

Per wowhead

Shield - Saronite Bulwark, Blacksmithing = 28 saronite ore

Head – Tempered Saronite Helm, Blacksmithing = 24 saronite ore, 1 crystallized earth

Shoulders – Tempered Saronite Shoulders, Blacksmithing = 24 saronite ore

Bracers – Tempered Saronite Bracers, Blacksmithing = 26 saronite ore

Hands – Daunting Handguards, Blacksmithing = 24 saronite ore, 10 crystallized earth

Belt – Tempered Saronite Belt,Blacksmithing = 10 saronite ore, 6 cobalt ore

Legs – Daunting Legplates, Blacksmithing = 28 saronite ore, 10 crystallized earth

Totals: 164 Cobalt ore, 21 crystallized earth, 6 cobalt ore

(Edited for totals)

(Sorry for the lack of links. . . me not so good with da computa)

So I would make a couple of changes there...

Wyrmrest Accord revered is not THAT easy. It's easy, granted, but it's easy with running about 6-7 heroics, which maybe you already want to be uncrittable to do. When I hit 80, I was ALMOST honored with them, and had to do some championing in an instance to hit Honored. So i'd say the cloak is definitely a good choice. However for the chest and boots I would put down:

http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?item=44407 which is a quest reward
and
http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?item=40671 which aren't high level but easily craftable

Also I can't say I ever got a single Venture Coin while levelling... i think they're a PVP thing?

That was how I got past 540+ Defense. http://ardentdefender.blogspot.com/2008/10/wotlk-beta-current-tank-gear-at-lvl-80.html

Venture Coins are from PvP Quests just like Marks in tBC.

Don't forget these:

http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?item=44057 - Walrus Honored Chest
http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?item=44243 - Ebon Blade Honored Boots
http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?item=44240 - Argent Crusade Honored Legs

Just some options if crafted gear costs are too high at the time or you can't get that lucky dungeon drop.

I hit Walrus Honored without even trying. Had to make sure and do a few dailies for Ebon Blade and Argent Crusade.

Ebon Blade Honored is definitely more likely while levelling than Wyrmrest Revered. The boots from them are a good choice.

You might want to included a few alterantives too. That way people don't think this is the only way to gear. You could add in some BoE epics like the JC neck. They may not be easy to get when wrath is first released but a moth or two with 80s the market will stablize and they can be valid options for a new 80. Could you also show the enchants used too?
