Enchants, Gems & Consumables

These are the cheapest, easiest power gains in the game - and skipping them is the fastest way to look like a beginner.

Permanent upgrades

  • Enchant every slot that can be enchanted (rings, weapon, chest, legs, boots, bracers, cloak).
  • Socket a gem into every available socket - a missing gem is free power left on the table.
  • Match your enchants and gems to your spec's stat priority.

Consumables for content

  • A flask or phial, a food buff, and a weapon oil or rune should be up for every raid and key.
  • Carry combat potions and use them in your burst window on important pulls.
  • Keep healthstones and healing potions, and have a personal defensive plan.

The habit

  • Re-apply flasks and food after wiping or dying - buffs drop on death.
  • Keep a stock so you are never the person holding up the group to craft.

Key takeaways

  • Enchant and gem every slot - it is the cheapest power in the game.
  • Flask, food, and a weapon oil or rune should always be active in group content.
  • Pot in your burst window and keep healthstones handy.
