Arcane Mage DPS Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1.5
On this page, we list the best gems, enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Arcane Mage in World of Warcraft — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.1.5. We also give budget alternatives.
1. Best Gems for Arcane Mage
You should use one 
Kraken's Eye of Intellect, and then the best
simming secondary stat in all your other sockets
(often 
Deadly Amberblaze).
2. Best Enchants for Arcane Mage
| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Rings | |
| Weapon |
3. Consumables for Arcane Mage
3.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Arcane
Battle Potion of Intellect is the best choice for all
situations.
Flask of Endless Fathoms should be used as your flask of
choice.
Coastal Healing Potion should be used alongside
Healthstones for emergency healing.
3.2. Best Food for Arcane
Sanguinated Feast is our go-to food. If your raid is not
using feasts, you should use 
Honey-Glazed Haunches (or your best-simming
stat) instead.
3.3. Augment Runes for Arcane
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
