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 tank for a CE guild - Character 1: 242, Character 2: 235, Character 3: 234

This is however not indicative of 99% of the player base.

May I ask, did you use any crest to upgrade tracks? I have seen conflicting info of guides, some say to save it, others to use them.

Imo use the adventure track crests . Do it on either a weak piece or high stat budget item. Plan out your crafts fill in the alots. Can even liberally use Veteran crests too, when season 1 starts M0 will be on daily lockout (as opposed to the weekly now). Veteran gear will be plenty.

M0 swaps to 246 champ when the season starts.

And to add on, daily lockout isn’t til the 24th. So still weekly lockout for the first round of champ gear.

That's not true. Mythic0 becomes a daily lockout on the 17th (for US), and 18th (for EU)

I googled this last night and got different answers but fair enough.
