Gear
In Season 4, Your best weapon is once again Djaruun, Pillar of the Elder Flame. As this is a very rare drop from Rashok, the Elder, it may be difficult to obtain. Luckily it is purchasable with Antique Bronze Bullion.
Antique Bronze Bullion Priority
Speaking of Antique Bronze Bullion, here is a priority list of items you should target with them. Note: This list isn’t definitive and may change based on what loot you naturally acquire while playing Season 4.
- Djaruun, Pillar of the Elder Flame
- Seal of Diurna’s Chosen
- Neltharion’s Call to Dominance
- Ashes of the Embersoul / Manic Grieftorch
- Voice of the Silent Star
Embellishments
Recommended: Neck + Ring crafted with Blue Silken Lining
Alternative: Slimy Expulsion Boots + Life-Bound Bindings
In Season 4, The recommendations have shifted. Blue Silken Lining takes a lead over the traditional Slimy Expulsion Boots + Toxic Patch that we were using for most of the expansion. It’s important to note these are crafted on Neck and Ring to avoid losing any main stat because of the lower item level of crafted pieces.
With this said, it’s entirely possible you loot Ouroboreal Necklet and may shift one of your crafted pieces to bracers while you are gearing up this season. In addition, long term in Season 4, you may decide to recraft these pieces onto bracer/belt slots for added survivability later on (Necklet/Shield ring from Diurna).
Additionally, the Alchemical Flavor Pocket can be crafted onto a piece of gear as a Quality of Life improvement that doesn’t count towards your two embellishment limit. It will make your Food Buff last twice as long and persist through death.
