5.4 SoO Gear conversion

#1 - Sept. 4, 2014, 1:28 a.m.

Hello all!

Sorry in advance if this has already been posted about!

My question is in regards to Siege of Orgrimmar 528, 540 (post removal of flex) , 553, 559, 566 heroic warforged gear and set bonuses.

When pre-patch 6.0 or in general when Warlords of Draenor goes live 11.13.14 will our current SoO gear convert to WoD style? Example...my druid has a 575 4/4 fully upgraded healer wrists...will this convert so that i can also use it as Guardian? Or will all my current main spec gear not swap to off-spec gear? If this is the case i think that all of the hard work everyone has gone to for gearing up should atleast have the option for their main spec gear to swap to off-spec gear...strictly SoO gear including LFR pieces...this will be more of a quality of life improvement but i do indeed believe this to be extremely important!

I hope I have made my question clear...and i look forward to hearing from someone!

Thanks :)

Hey Danthedruid,

Gear obtained from Siege of Orgrimmar won't be multi-spec. That's for the new items that will be obtained in Warlords of Draenor. There's no change to existing item levels and they'll will retain their upgrade ranks. If they were reforged they'll be returned into an unreforged state.

Some of the details are still being worked out. We'll be posting more information once there's more info for the remaining stuff.
