If you’re gearing up a fresh alt or returning character in World of Warcraft: War Within Season 2, this post will walk you through every relevant method to accelerate the process, from undercoin spending and warbound gear to PvP, dinars, and even timewalking exploits. Whether you’re jumping back into WoW or optimizing your 5th alt, here’s how to efficiently catch up.

---

1. Veteran Gear from Delves (Undercoins & Wave Scramblers)

Start with Sir Finley Mrrgglton in Dornogal. Once you’ve progressed far enough in the Delver’s Journey (Battle Pass-style system), you can use Undercoins to buy Veteran 623/8 gear that upgrades to 645. This is better than last season’s Adventurer gear and can be mailed between characters.

Tips:

• Undercoins aren’t always warbound, but the gear is.
• Wave Scramblers summon Delve bosses, rewarding maps and gear, especially useful at high-tier delves.
• Even doing one delve a week makes meaningful progress on the journey.

---

2. Enchanted Weathered Undermine Crests

Crafted gear is another strong starting point. Combine Enchanted Weathered Undermine Crests with rare gear recipes to craft 629 ilvl gear, including two embellished pieces.

Sources of Weathered Crests:

• Outdoor activities, LFR, low-tier delves, heroic dungeons.
• Renown turn-ins (especially on new alts with pre-existing account renown).
• You can downgrade Carved Crests into Weathered ones.

3. Warbound Gear (WoE & World Bosses)

Check your Warbound bank for leftover gear—addons like BetterBags or WeakAuras help track it. Weekly world bosses guarantee a Champion track warbound piece, great for stocking up before you even level an alt.

---

4. Dinars (Puzzling Cartel Chips)

Run 4 bosses from raid or M+ to earn Cartel Chips (3 from the first clear, then 1 per week). You can purchase Hero track weapons, rare trinkets, and other best-in-slot gear.

Key tips:

• Limited to 9 total chips per character lifetime.
• You don’t need to run Mythic—LFR counts.
• Prioritize powerful raid weapons or trinkets for best return.

5. Cyrce’s Circlet & Upcoming Delve Belt

The Cyrce’s Circlet (patch 11.0.7) remains viable until dual Myth track rings. Upgrade it via Siren’s Isle content—or look into alternative methods (ahem, party sync “shortcuts”).

Coming June 17 (patch 11.1.7): A powerful Delve Belt, expected to scale to ilvl 700+. Avoid crafting or purchasing belts until then.

6. Auction House BOEs

If you’ve got gold but no time, Auction House BOEs can jumpstart gearing:

• Look for Veteran or Champion track items.
• Prices vary by slot and server economy—check often.
• Don’t overspend on slots soon to be replaced by guaranteed drops or crafted items.

---

7. Renown Rewards & Reputation Vendors

Many renown milestones give relevant crests and gear:

• Even on fresh characters, pre-earned account renown unlocks these instantly.
• Cartels of Undermine offers Champion gear (e.g., gloves at Renown 14, boots at 7) and crafting mats.
• Use resonance crystals instead of undercoins.

---

8. Nightfall Events (Flame’s Radiance)

These hourly events offer Champion track tokens on a weekly basis. Just complete the scenario and redeem the token for a gear piece of your choice.

Benefits:

• Deterministic gearing (pick your slot).
• Adds crests and valor stones on the side.
• Works even if you’re only semi-active on that character.

---

9. Horrific Visions (Coming Soon)

Launching next reset: Horrific Visions return with 2+ Hero track pieces per week and high-quality rewards. Harder than Delves but worth it—especially for characters that can solo or group efficiently.

---

10. PvP Gear (Bloody Tokens & Conquest)

PvP is surprisingly efficient:

• Sparks of War quest = 1,000+ Bloody Tokens.
• Purchase Veteran track 4/8 gear (better than 1/8 delve vendor gear).
• Conquest buys Champion gear (e.g., wrists, helms—socketable with Prized Jeweler Settings).
• 1,400+ rating unlocks Warbound PvP boxes—send to alts.

Even casual PvP players can benefit from a few weekly quests or war mode runs.

---

11. Valor Stones (Warbound Currency)

You can now transfer Valor Stones between characters (20% loss). Cap is 2,000 per character, so shift them around to avoid wasting gains.

Efficient Valor Sources:

• World Soul Memories (5 Radiant Echoes = up to 400 stones).
• Chatliss Quests (Undermine faction).
• LFR Bosses now reward more Valor + Crests (especially the last two).

---

12. Catalyst & Tier Set Crafting

Use the Catalyst to convert any seasonal gear into tier pieces. You likely have enough Essence of Kamesh to complete your 4-piece set by now.

---

13. Timewalking Events & Skips

Huge sleeper tip: Timewalking Raids (e.g., Black Temple, Ulduar, Firelands) let you:

• Complete the Timewalking weekly raid/dungeon quest.
• Kill the final boss for a Hero track item.

Search “skip” groups in Group Finder:

• These raids are pre-cleared except for the last boss.
• Join, kill, loot, repeat weekly.

---

14. Mythic Zeros & Weekly Events

Other high-yield activities:

• M0 Dungeons drop Champion gear up to 658.
• Weekly dungeon quests (e.g., 4 Mythics) = Hero raid piece.
• Delve Bonus Weeks = Champion gear.

Final Thoughts

Even if you’re completely new or returning from a long break, War Within Season 2 has layered systems that make gearing manageable—if you know where to look.

Prioritize these based on:

• How many alts you’re managing.
• Your available gold vs. time.
• Whether you’re aiming for high-end content or just functional gear for casual play.

Happy gearing!
