Item Level Increase in Season 3
On the Patch 10.2 PTR, the item level increase of +39 item levels has been spotted on both the Raid and Mythic+ item levels. Blizzard has informed Wowhead of the correct Crafted Item Level which all indicates that the transition to Season 3 will be a larger +39 item levels, rather than the standard +26.
This means that players that:
- Mythic Aberrus geared players, or players in 447 gear will have gear that drops at LFR Amirdrassil difficulty (rather than Normal Amirdrassil)
- The difficulty and gearing progression should feel more like the start of the expansion (Pre-Season M0 to Season 1) rather Season 1 to Season 2.
There’s going to be a lot of gear to grind!
