Midnight Pre-Season BiS List for Fire Mage

This list provides you with a list of items you can obtain before Season 1 of Midnight launches that will allow you to go into the Season as strong as possible.

Before Season 1 starts, you can acquire gear from Midnight Dungeons, Delves, Crafting, or other Open World content. This list is primarily focused on gear from Dungeons, as these are most farmable and do not require pure luck of finding the right world item or Delve item.

Keep in mind that items can be upgraded after obtaining them. For more information on this, check out the Gear Upgrade System system.

Note that there is no such thing as a singular, all-encompassing "BiS". The best items vary per character and situation, and many items are essentially equivalent in terms of DPS, namely when we are just shuffling secondary stats around. I might list a few "BiS" items per slot for this reason, but ultimately, BiS lists are not very practically useful and you should be simming your character to find out what gear to equip next, as some items might be bigger upgrades for you than an item listed as best-in-slot on this list, due to the rest of your items being different.

Disclaimer: What to craft is highly dependent on your own personal goals, what content you are doing, and what items you have looted so far. We strongly suggest you run your own simulations on raidbots by using droptimizer to figure out your personal best crafting options.

During the Pre-Season, you can craft and equip as many items as you want at 204 item level. This is very useful if you are missing a higher item level piece for some slots. When Season 1 begins, you can upgrade these items into stronger variants, using Crests and Sparks.

For an overview on crafting and upgrading crafted items, check out our Profession overview.

You can equip as many crafted items as you want, but you can only equip two items with an Embellishment on them. These can be two of the same Embellishment (doubling their damage or stat amounts, but not their proc rates), or two different ones, gaining both effects.

Disclaimer: Not all Embellishments are fully implemented yet in sims, and theorycrafting on them is still on-going. Expect this section to change multiple times during pre-season and early Season 1!

Arcanoweave Lining is the best Embellishment. This can go on any crafted piece. Below we go over which pieces and crafting order make the most sense.

1. Craft two items with Arcanoweave Lining with Haste and Mastery:
   • If you do not mind re-crafting after the pre-season is over, you should craft items where it would be an item level upgrade.
   • If you just want to craft now and not bother re-crafting in Season 1, Wrist + Cloak are the recommended slots, as these are what you will be upgrading during Season 1.
2. Craft Darkmoon Deck: Hunt.
3. Craft any pieces which are an item level upgrade for any slot which you are currently lacking. Craft with Haste + Mastery.

The easiest way, and also the method we suggest, to compare multiple items is to use Raidbots' Top Gear. Here, you can input an export from the Simcraft AddOn, select the items to compare, and it will find out which of the items are best. See below for a guide on how to sim yourself.
