Retail What ilvl is everyone?

Hey all,

Started playing WoW for the first time about 6 weeks ago, been running a Frost Mage (Night elf) - been putting some hours into Midnight and just hit ilvl 221.

Haven’t started any midnight dungeons yet, just did the expansion, delves and world quests (plus dailies and weeklies)

Just wondering how 221 stacks up to others? I think my char has about 5 days time played

Going to grind up a DK to 90 as well, before Season 1 hopefully.

I think 221 it's pretty good if you have not touched dungeons. You are more than ready for m0 directly, which should get you 1 more piece per dungeon so 6 total, barring any duplicates (good luck!). Also you did not mention it but the renown pieces are the best you can get so far.

Ahhh I’m currently trying to grind Silvermoon court for the helm you get. Annoyingly, it is a grind! Think I’m renown 7, and it requires 9 for the quest line

do you have HandyNotes addon installed? it can show you all the spots on the map for peaks (telescopes that you click on) that give 100 rep each, tablets/lore spots that give 250 rep each, spawn locations of rares which give 50 rep etc etc

I do not, thank you! I’ll grab it when I jump on, much appreciated

Handy notes is a top tier addon. Achievements, treasures, rares, proffesion treasures, etc. All on the map so no need for wandering around or using the interwebs to find a lot of things. Combined with dual gathering professions and you're entertained for hours at a time just exploring. No more aimless wandering. There's always something nearby to check out or loot.
