MMO-Champion put together some lists of end-game loot, and where to get it.

All raiders should find this useful for gearing up for 25 man raids.

MMO-Champion Loot Lists

Blizzard did an excellent job of providing a number of ways for people to get Raid-quality gear. Looking over this site at ilvl 200 gear will show you that it can be achieved through:
A) 10 Man Raids,
B) Heroic Drops,
C) Badges (More Accurately, Emblems of Heroism, but everyone still calls them badges)
D) Exalted Reputation with WOTLK Factions

Fortunately, a Heroic Instance run can provide easy access to B, C, and D all at the same time.

Unfortunately, though the quality pugs seems to be very high right now (Anyone already lvl 80 generally knows what they are doing), This doesnt mean that runs are easy to come by. A dps class can sit on-line in lfg for 5 hours and not get invited to a single pug. I know. I've done it. In fact I spent more than 6 days last week doing it. Only 4 pugs in over 30 hours of sitting in lfg. And I also know I'm not the only one who has been struggling.

All I'm saying is, let's do what we can to help others with the 'Raider' guild tag get into the Heroic Instance runs that will be needed for us all to be raid ready. I'm not saying that anyone isn't, but the reality is, that just as we must band together and focus our efforts to raid successfully, we will need to band together to prepare for 25 man raids.

Please don't take my mentioning this as some form of complaint. Many guild members have reached out and helped me when they could and I'm grateful for their efforts.. To repeat, I'm not saying that anyone isn't doing what they can for their guildies, I'm merely pointing out that getting geared up for 25 mans is going to take a group effort, not unlike being prepared and making the push that end-game raid progression requires.

(Hmm. I wonder if I need to repeat that again to avoid defensive responses? I guess I will leave it and hope that everyone can see I'm trying to bring attention to a current environmental challenge that many are facing in trying to prepare for our future raids, and understand I'm not trying to QQ, 'I can't get into heroics!'
/crosses fingers and prays)


The MMO-Champion certainly helped me to realize what pieces were available that will help me get the stats I need, and where to get find them. By knowing what is out there we can focus our efforts, we can better target our rep grinding and make better use of our badges.

We get what you mean..:-)

Yes I agree, we need to focus on helping everyone prepared for our official raids but at the moment, i think we are already doing that already and doing that well. So thanks to everyone for organizing these ad hoc runs helping your fellow guildies.

Also please bear in mind that even though these ad hoc heroic/nax runs are not official guild raids, I hope everyone goes into it prepared, flasked/pot/food/read up on strat. Some of us have changed mains, some of us still feeling out the new specs, these runs helped fine tune our play styles and get ppl into a raid mindset.

Great link by the way, and with regards to the instance PUG quality, dear god I did the worst instance EVER last night. it was UK and we were just an abomination, I even dragged Doof into it for 2 wipes.
Managed to spend 80g on a Shad -> Holy -> Shad respec plus repair bills. Complete waste of time.

Ouch. Well. The four I'd been on were much better, but I'd get 2-3 'R U Healer" whispers a day, and one invite if I was lucky. Im seriously considering doing the respec dance myself if it would mean more opportunity for badges/rep.

ROFLMAO

I got funny looks from the teachers in the office when I saw that.

I'm a fan of Pugs. Always wanted one, so that was particularly amusing for me.
