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.

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 - Algeth'ar Academy
2. Roostwarden's Bough - Windrunner Spire
3. Omission of Light - Nexus-Point Xenas
4. Occlusion of Void - Nexus-Point Xenas

Slot	Item	Source/Note

Helm	Branches of the Luminous Bloom	Matrix Catalyst

Feral generally seeks to use one on-use trinket that aligns with 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
Passive - Gaze of the Alnseer or, alternatively, 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.

Click for Feral Season 1 Trinket Rankings

Ranking	Trinket
S Tier	Gaze of the Alnseer 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. Umbral Plume / Radiant Plume - Click for Details This should generally be set to Radiant Plume for additional Mastery procs, though if your gear is particularly lacking in Critical Strike, switching to Umbral Plume is an option to fix it.
A Tier	Light Company Guidon - Click for Details Should be held for 2-minute timers to align with Berserk. 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. Solarflare Prism
B Tier	Heart of Wind Kroluk's Warbanner Emberwing Feather - Click for Details Use alongside Berserk, this should naturally align. Drum of Renewed Bonds - Click for Details Go to the Jan'alai altar in Zul'Aman to set this to Mastery. Glorious Crusader's Keepsake Crucible of Erratic Energies Withered Saptor's Paw Fiber of Living Agony
C Tier	Darkmoon Dominion: Hunt Darkmoon Dominion: Blood Vessel of Tortured Souls Undreamt God's Oozing Vestige Latch's Crooked Hook Darkmoon Dominion: Void
D Tier	Magister's Alchemist Stone Lost Idol of the Hash'ey Darkmoon Dominion: Rot Eye of the Drowning Void Void-Reaper's Libram Void Stalker's Contract Sealed Chaos Urn

Patch 12.0.5 introduces Midnight's take on two systems, intended to increase your access to big ticket items, and their maximum potential:

• Nebulous Voidcore - can be spent after completing endgame dungeons or defeating raid bosses, granting you an item at random from its respective loot table. Once an item has been received through Voidcore rolls, it cannot appear again. One Voidcore is used to roll on dungeon loot tables (providing loot equivalent to its Great Vault item level), while Two are used for Raid bosses.
• Ascendant Voidcore - can be used on fully upgraded Hero, Myth, and Radiance Crafted Weapons & Trinkets. This further increases their power (similar to Turbo Boost from The War Within), raising their item level by 10.

For more information on how to acquire these items, make sure to check out our dedicated guide below!

Which item you should target is strongly influenced by what pieces you've already acquired through Raids or the Great Vault up to this point in Season 1, but there's some specific pieces that are highly desirable. Since pieces are acquired through a process of elimination, in some cases it's also best to think about the best Overall table to roll on in case you aren't lucky as well. A recommended priority on locations to roll is:

Voidcore (Bonus Roll) Priority

1. Al'gethar Academy
   • Until you acquire Algeth'ar Puzzle Box
2. Chimaerus
   • Until you acquire Gaze of the Alnseer
3. Remaining BiS Locations (See FAQ)

Similar to Dawncrest recommendations, your Ascendant Voidcore use should follow the same rules for upgrading your items:

Ascendant Voidcore Order

Main-Hand Weapon ➜ Algeth'ar Puzzle Box ➜ Gaze of the Alnseer

Always prioritize Myth track items over Hero track pieces if possible, unless you don't expect to ever acquire a higher item level version. For example, if you're not expecting to kill Mythic Chimaerus but have a Hero Gaze of the Alnseer, it's fine to invest a Voidcore.

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 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 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 ➜ Adherent's Silken Shroud ➜ 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, this should be a strong pick until max gear setups.
  • If you acquire a Mythic Weapon (such as Inescapable Reach from Vorasius), you can skip this step.
• Craft an off-piece second - we recommend Adherent's Silken Shroud in the Cloak slot. Attach Arcanoweave Lining as your second embellishment.
• Craft another off-piece third - we recommend Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors. Remove Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt from your weapon and attach Arcanoweave Lining.
• Optionallym you can craft Loa Worshiper's Band instead, which is similar in value to 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.

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. 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

Weapon ➜ Trinkets ➜ Helmet/Chest/Legs ➜ Shoulders/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.

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 consumable, which can be purchased 6 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.

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!

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:
