Feral Druid BiS List in Season 1

The list below contains gear from all possible endgame sources, including Raids, Mythic+, Crafting, Delves and The Great Vault. It aims to provide the absolute best possible setup, but bear in mind that each individual item may not be the strongest in your particular gear setup at any given point.

Note that this gearset aims to strike a balance between Critical Strike, Mastery and Haste due to them all having similar values, and the lower overall stats available in Season 1.

The gearset below is your raid Best-in-Slot list, using gear from only raid drops, as well as ideal tier set pieces and crafted items to activate Embellishment effects.

Feral Druid Mythic + BiS List in Season 1

The gearset below are the best items available from Mythic+, using gear only available from dungeons in the Season 1 pool, alongside your ideal Tier Set pieces and Crafted items for Embellishments. Note that this is a list of the best items available from Mythic+ dungeons, not a strict list of what you should be using in Mythic+ content.

FAQWhich Dungeons Should I Farm?
Feral has a key trinket worth farming as early as possible, as there's no equivalent option from the three raids. Alongside that, grabbing a weapon and the ring 2-piece set is also a good idea:
  1. Algeth'ar Puzzle Box Icon Algeth'ar Puzzle Box - Algeth'ar Academy
  2. Roostwarden's Bough Icon Roostwarden's Bough - Windrunner Spire
  3. Omission of Light Icon Omission of Light - Nexus-Point Xenas

FAQWhich Tier Slots Should We Use?
Uniquely for Feral, it almost doesn't matter which off-piece you make use of. Secondary stats are so well balanced between Haste, Mastery and Critical Strike that you can adjust other pieces around which picks you're using. In this case, we've opted to avoid the Shoulders to raise Haste and Mastery levels, so the four ideal pieces would be:
  • Branches of the Luminous Bloom Icon Branches of the Luminous Bloom
  • Trunk of the Luminous Bloom Icon Trunk of the Luminous Bloom
  • Arbortenders of the Luminous Bloom Icon Arbortenders of the Luminous Bloom
  • Phloemwraps of the Luminous Bloom Icon Phloemwraps of the Luminous Bloom

In this case though, it's easy to adjust pieces around to instead use the shoulders (Seedpods of the Luminous Bloom Icon Seedpods of the Luminous Bloom). The most important part is simply getting the two bonuses online, and then adjusting your gear around those pieces.

Best Trinkets for Feral Druid in Midnight Season 1

Feral generally seeks to use one on-use trinket that aligns with Berserk Icon Berserk to empower its already powerful burst windows, and then one strong passive trinket that procs one of Feral's preferred secondaries to go with it.

Aim to pick up one trinket from each of these categories as a pair:

Trinkets to Hunt in Midnight On-Use - Algeth'ar Puzzle Box Icon Algeth'ar Puzzle Box or, alternatively, Light Company Guidon Icon Light Company Guidon
Passive - Gaze of the Alnseer Icon Gaze of the Alnseer or, alternatively, Radiant Plume Icon Radiant Plume

You can click below to open a ranking chart for other trinkets, in case you've picked something else up are are looking to check how it stacks up.

  • Gaze of the Alnseer Icon Gaze of the Alnseer
  • Algeth'ar Puzzle Box Icon Algeth'ar Puzzle Box - Click for Details
    While there are some other on-use options that are good this Season, none are as strong as this, so farming one early is ideal. Aim to cast this before Berserk Icon Berserk.
A Tier
  • Umbral Plume Icon Umbral Plume / Radiant Plume Icon Radiant Plume - Click for Details
    This should generally be set to Radiant Plume Icon Radiant Plume for additional Mastery procs, though if your gear is particularly lacking in Critical Strike, switching to Umbral Plume Icon Umbral Plume is an option to fix it.
  • Light Company Guidon Icon Light Company Guidon - Click for Details
    Should be held for 2-minute timers to align with Berserk Icon Berserk.
  • Ranger-Captain's Iridescent Insignia Icon Ranger-Captain's Iridescent Insignia - Click for Details
    Be careful if using this with a stat boosting on-use trinket to avoid locking you out of using it alongside your cooldowns.

Best Crafted Items for Feral Druid

Crafted gear provides one of the easiest ways to pick up high value items in a season, allowing you to target key pieces to fill out your gearset. With the release of Season 1, four total Spark of Radiance Icon Spark of Radiance are available, with an additional spark acquired every week.

Unless secondary stats are already assigned by the item, you should use a Thalassian Missive of the Peerless Icon Thalassian Missive of the Peerless for Critical Strike and Mastery on your crafts. In Feral's case however, Haste combinations are also equally useful, so you should sim your character if you're looking to optimize your crafts.

Feral Crafting Order Aln'hara Pikestaff Icon Aln'hara PikestaffAdherent's Silken Shroud Icon Adherent's Silken ShroudSilvermoon Agent's Deflectors Icon Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors

Crafting Notes:

  • Craft a weapon first, as it has the biggest impact early. It doesn't matter if you craft an Polearm, Mace or Staff, but make sure your choice comes with Agility. With Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt Icon Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt, this should be a strong pick until max gear setups.
    • If you acquire a Mythic Weapon (such as Inescapable Reach Icon Inescapable Reach from Vorasius), you can skip this step.
  • Craft an off-piece second - we recommend Adherent's Silken Shroud Icon Adherent's Silken Shroud in the Cloak slot. Attach Arcanoweave Lining Icon Arcanoweave Lining as your second embellishment.
  • Craft another off-piece third - we recommend Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors Icon Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors. Remove Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt Icon Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt from your weapon and attach Arcanoweave Lining Icon Arcanoweave Lining.
  • Optionallym you can craft Loa Worshiper's Band Icon Loa Worshiper's Band instead, which is similar in value to Arcanoweave Lining Icon Arcanoweave Lining (but doesn't provide additional buffs to your allies).

Following these crafts, you should have a solid setup, and can look to crafting high item-level pieces to fill out any empty slots in your gear setup. High priority candidates are Jewellery pieces due to being very contested among other classes.

Using Crests as a Feral Druid

Early into the season, or if you have just started playing an alt, you will have limited access to upgrading-crests such as Myth Dawncrest Icon Myth Dawncrest. These can be used to upgrade gear to higher item levels. Since crests are limited each week, and every slot will cost 20 crests per upgrade regardless of the slot. Due to that, you should prioritize your usage of these on items you don't plan on replacing any time soon, or specific slots that offer larger stat benefits:

Feral Druid Crest Upgrade Priority WeaponTrinketsHelmet/Chest/LegsShoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots

These are not the only items worth upgrading, of course. They simply offer the highest DPS gain early into the tier when your upgrade currency is limited. Note that exceptions are possible, such as special items that have additional procs attached to them.

5.1.

Adding Sockets to Gear

While all Rings and Necklaces come with one socket by default, three additional sockets can be acquired on the Helmet, Belt and Bracer slots as a bonus when they drop. These can also be added manually using the Radiant Jewelbinder Icon Radiant Jewelbinder consumable, which can be purchased 6 Thalassian Token of Merit Icon Thalassian Token of Merit, the pity currency from The Great Vault.

When using these, it's always best to put them on pieces you don't expect to ever replace. This means Mythic items, or any crafted pieces in these slots, since they can't have them added in any other way. Due to them being a very limited currency, if you have these, it's best to plan long term before wasting any.

6.

"Simming" Yourself as a Feral Druid

Throughout this page and elsewhere in our guide, we regularly refer to the importance of simming yourself on Raidbots. This is because every character is unique, and each gear piece you have access to can change what is best right now for you.

While we do offer recommendations for gear and trinkets, these are not complete replacements for simming yourself. The only way to truly optimize your character to that degree is by making use of the tools available!

6.1.

The Raidbots Droptimizer

The Droptimizer feature from Raidbots lets you identify which dungeons and Raid Bosses offer the highest DPS upgrades to you. It simulates all of the potential upgrades in a raid or a dungeon and lists the bosses/dungeons by rank order of how much DPS you can expect to gain from each of the items it drops. Linked below are two guides to help break down using these two features to get the most out of your gearing process:
