Patch 11.1.5 offers a way to acquire specific items from Liberation of Undermine through the new Puzzling Cartel Chip. These can be acquired following a quest released on May 13th that will reward you with chips for defeating bosses within the Liberation of Undermine raid on a weekly cadence. Purchasing an item however does require you to have defeated the boss each item drops from on each respective difficulty. As an example, to purchase The Jastor Diamond Mythic, you need to have defeated Mythic Chrome King Gallywix.

We have compiled a list of high-value items that you should prioritize with your Cartel Chips in The War Within Season 2 as Feral Druid. This list is not exhaustive or in order of priority, and you are best served simming yourself for optimal results as the best pick will depend on the gear you already have available.

• Best-in-Slots - Top Priority -
  Click for details

  • This is by far Feral's best weapon, effectively providing another trinket. This cannot be used in tandem with an on-use trinket, but even then it still provides the best increase from the proc alone. There is not really a comparable purchase that keeps up with this, so with it being very rare and hard to obtain, buy this first.
• The Jastor Diamond - High Priority -
  Click for details

  • Well itemized, and provides a strong bonus effect of more stats for free. Being a ring, much like very rare rings of the past, it is highly contested and harder to get from your vault, alongside being from the end boss of the raid. This makes it a good pickup as it will be hard to get naturally.
• House of Cards - High Priority -
  Click for details

  • Having a good on-use trinket to pair with Berserk for both Raid and Mythic+ is very helpful to accentuate your burst. This is a more universal trinket pickup that has uses in most situations. While Best-in-Slots clashes with this, this provides significantly more Mastery for said burst window and takes priority when used.
• Eye of Kezan - High Priority (Mythic Raid) -
  Click for details

  • Takes up to 4 minutes to fully stack, but once it gets there provides the best return for a trinket. As it requires fights to go longer, this is much more suited to Mythic encounters, and due to all 3 of the final fights in the tier being weighted toward the end is a strong pickup if you're currently progressing. However, due to it expiring after 20 seconds out of combat and long ramp time, it's less suited to faster kills and Mythic+.

Cyrce's Circlet is a customizable ring that can be obtained from the Siren Isle. There are three distinct sockets each with 4 choices each, allowing you to build your own item to suit your needs.

In Patch 11.1.5, the ring stays a very strong option, only being evened out by well itemized 678 equivalent rings. That means you can safely use this for most if not all of Season 2 currently.

• Singing Thunder — Stormbringer's Runed Citrine (All Stats)
• Singing Sea — Fathomdweller's Runed Citrine (Mastery)
• Singing Wind — Windsinger's Runed Citrine (Highest Secondary)

For more information on how to get the ring, as well as acquiring all of the different gems that you can possibly socket into it, check out our Cyrce's Circlet guide below!

Crafted gear for Feral in The War Within has a few choices depending on what gear you have available due to the different Embellishment choices. You should ideally sim the optimal stats to craft for your particular character, but Critical Strike and Mastery is most likely your best option with an Algari Missive of the Peerless.

1. For your first craft, you have two options depending on if you are in a rush to use your Spark of Fortunes:
   • Craft an off-piece and apply Dawnthread Lining. We recommend a low impact slot that does not conflict with Tier, such as Rune-Branded Armbands.
   • If you have two sparks, a Weapon — Charged Halberd with Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension. This should be paired with Writhing Armor Banding with your next off-piece.
   • Craft an off-piece and apply Dawnthread Lining. We recommend a low impact slot that does not conflict with Tier, such as Rune-Branded Armbands.
2. Craft another off-piece and apply Dawnthread Lining or Writhing Armor Banding, depending on your choice. We recommend a low impact slot such as Rune-Branded Grasps due to the weaker gloves on offer this season, so long as it does not affect your tier set.
3. After this, you are done with priority crafts and embellishments and can use sims to determine your best piece to upgrade with item level. Generally, it is a good idea to look for Rings and Necks as good options are very contested among other classes.

With the best weapon being Best-in-Slots, it comes down to how likely you think it is you will be picking one up soon, as this does shift your best crafts. The advantage of having your weapon slot locked in at a high item level is big though, so weigh up your options. All equippable two-handed agility weapon are equal value, including Charged Halberd, Charged Crusher and Vagabond's Careful Crutch.

The alternative in Dawnthread Lining is the best general use case that has variable uptime depending on your health, but will usually be active during cooldown moments. Once you acquire a 678 myth track weapon or Best-in-Slots, you should be pivoting your Embellishments to this.

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 individual gear piece you have access to can change what is best right now for you.

While we do offer generic sim charts and recommendations for 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!

If you are new to simming and Raidbots, check out our detailed guide below.

As you complete endgame content in The War Within, you will gather upgrade crests such as Gilded Undermine Crest that can be used to upgrade your items. Once you have upgraded a slot to a particular item level, any other item in that slot can be upgraded without a Crest cost.

As Crests are a limited resource and capped early on in the season, ideally, you will want to obtain the highest item-level possible before committing any crests to upgrade it, as this will save you upgrades in the long run. If you are capable of completing higher Mythic+ dungeons, it is generally a good idea to wait until you have the slot maxed out with free upgrades first.

Below is a general slot priority you should upgrade your items in.

1. Weapons
2. Trinkets
3. Helm/Chest/Legs
4. Shoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots
5. Rings and Necks
6. Cloaks and Bracers

Note that exceptions are possible, such as special items that have additional procs attached to them like The Jastor Diamond.

The second Tier Set of The War Within, the Roots of Reclaiming Blight, consists of 5 items that provide unique bonuses upon equipping 2, and 4 pieces from the set:

• Druid Feral 11.1 Class Set 2pc — Your spells and abilities have a chance to activate a Winning Streak! increasing the damage of Ferocious Bite, Rip and Primal Wrath by 3%, stacking up to 10 times. Finishing moves have a 15% chance to remove all stacks, but any free Ferocious Bite procs are exempt from this chance.
• Druid Feral 11.1 Class Set 4pc — When you consume Apex Predator's Craving, become a Big Winner, dealing heavy Physical damage to your target and increasing the damage of your periodic effects by 16% for 6 seconds.

The Feral set bonus is of average strength when moving away from the Season 1 bonus, with a leaning toward Wildstalker. A lot of the power comes in the 2-piece, and it is worth making the switch to a 2-pc/2-pc combo once you have some new pieces. You should aim to complete the full set as early as possible, and you can use the Matrix Catalyst to convert regular items (from Mythic+ or Raid) into Tier Items.

You only need 4 pieces to maximize the set bonus, so we recommend dropping the Gloves or Helm for alternatives with more Critical Strike or Mastery if possible. Check the BiS List for more information.
