Gearing Up For Ulduar
Patch 3.1 will bring us Ulduar, a brand new raid dungeon, and with it lots of new epics including Tier 8 items. Item level 226 epics will drop on 25 man, and level 213 epics on 10 man. There’s many ways you can get yourself geared for this new instance:
Gearing Up For 10-man Ulduar
You will want to have level 200 epics or higher if possible. Level 200 epics drop in Naxxramas, Obsidian Sanctum, and the Vault of Archavon. One level 200 epic will drop off the last boss in every heroic 5-man Northrend dungeon. Additionally, level 200 epics can be purchased from emblem of heroism vendors, and crafted through many professions. Some bind-on-equip epics do exist and can be occasionally found – but not without a high price tag!
Gearing Up For 25-man Ulduar
With level 213 epics equipped you are ready to head into Ulduar 25. You’ll be getting these from Naxx 25, VoA 25, OS 25, Malygos 10 man, Kel’thuzad 10 man, as well as emblem of valor vendors.
