How to Get Item Level 590 Gear Fast as a New Level 80

Want to gear up quickly after hitting Level 80? Here’s how you can get item level 590 gear in just about an hour, using only flying and a bit of gold!

Fly Through Khaz Algar’s Golden Orbs

Each day, one of the four Khaz Algar zones will have golden-blue orbs scattered across the skies. By flying through them, you’ll earn 1-2 Weathered Crests with every orb. These crests are crucial for upgrading your gear. You can easily cap your crests in about an hour, allowing you to craft item level 590 gear without needing to complete other content. This strategy, shared by user MrNoobyy, is perfect for players looking to boost their gear quickly.

Crafting the Gear: What You Need

While this method is great for getting crests, you’ll still need a crafter to turn those materials into gear. The cost depends on the type of armor you’re wearing and on your server’s economy, but you can expect the following:

  • Leather/Mail: 2-3k gold per piece.
  • Cloth: Slightly cheaper cost per piece.
  • Plate: Most expensive out of all armor types.

It’s important to find a reliable crafter, as the materials alone won’t be enough.

Where to Find the Golden Orbs

The golden orbs are randomly located across the four Khaz Algar zones. You’ll need to check each area to find which zone is active for the day. If you don’t receive any crests while flying through the orbs, it’s likely because you’re either capped or not yet Level 80.

Each orb grants you 1-2 Weathered Crests along with Resonance Crystals, helping you gear up faster.
