About Our Author and Reviewer

This guide has been written by Wordup, a frequent theorycrafter involved in a number of class communities. He is also an experienced player who has been in the world top 100 since the days of Sunwell, currently raiding in Echoes. You can also follow him on Twitter.

This guide has been reviewed and approved by Xanzara, a top-ranking Feral Druid, who sometimes streams on YouTube.

1. Gems

You should use Saber's Eye of Agility in one socket, and Masterful Argulite (or the cheaper Masterful Shadowruby) in all other sockets.

2. Enchants

Slot	Enchantment
Neck	Enchant Neck - Mark of the Hidden Satyr
Back	Enchant Cloak - Binding of Agility Enchant Cloak - Word of Agility (cheaper)
Rings	Enchant Ring - Binding of Mastery Enchant Ring - Word of Mastery (cheaper)

3. Consumables

Flask of the Seventh Demon should be used for raids along with Potion of the Old War as your potion of choice.

Note that Potion of Prolonged Power serves as a good, cheap alternative to Old War for certain situations. These work well in M+ due to the high uptime, but currently Old War performs better for Feral.

You should eat Lavish Suramar Feast for the +500 Agility buff (or the cheaper Hearty Feast if you cannot afford the +500 food). Alternatively, you can eat Nightborne Delicacy Platter for the Mastery buff (or Barracuda Mrglgagh, if you cannot afford the +375 food) if you do not want to use a feast. Ancient Healing Potion can be used in place of Healthstones.

If you can afford it, you should also use augment runes (which work in both raids and Mythic+ dungeons). Defiled Augment Rune is the cheap rune with a one-time use. Lightforged Augment Rune costs 50,000 and requires exalted reputation with the Army of the Light faction.
