Mythic+ Gear BiS List for Fire Mage

This list contains the highest DPS setup, with farmable gear from Mythic+ Dungeons. This is a great place to start on a relatively new character, as you can infinitely grind out these items from Mythic+.

A lot of Mythic+ items are going to perform very similar, and which item is better will depend primarily on the other items you have already. When gearing via Mythic+, your goal should be to aim for getting a 483 item in every slot before trying to minmax the exact right item in each slot.

Generally, crafting 486 items is going to be better than finding 383 Mythic+ items, so the items below are just a generic guide for when you are unable to craft better pieces.

When looking what items to farm from Mythic+, the best way is to use Raidbots droptimizer to find which items from Mythic+ are the biggest upgrades for your specific character. This will let you specifically find what dungeon has the biggest potential upgrades for you, allowing you to target farm upgrades much better than following a predetermined list of items.

Slot	Item	Source/Note
Weapon	Iridal, the Earth's Master (483)	Dawn of the Infinite: Galakrond's Fall Mythic+

At this stage in the game, and despite the stat priority, there are so many variables and so many layers of optimization that you can apply to your character that there is no way for a guide or anything else to tell you exactly what gear you should wear. This is why we always recommend simulating your own character using Raidbots. The website can help you choose set bonuses, Conduits, Legendaries, trinkets, and combinations thereof in a way tailored completely to your specific character. Learning to use this tool is essential to maximizing your potential, as there is simply no other way to consider all the variables.

While we heavily recommend simming yourself, you can find some of our general simulations on the dedicated page below.

The easiest way, and also the method we suggest, to compare multiple items is to use Raidbots' Top Gear. Here, you can input an export from the Simcraft AddOn, select the items to compare, and it will find out which of the items are best.

Dragonflight Season 2 introduced the Flightstones and Crests upgrade system, both obtainable from practically all forms of content in the game. Season 3 changed how they function in some areas, primarily capping their item level for crafted gear to 486, whereas Mythic raid gear can go up to 489, making crafted gear after two embellished items less valuable than before.

For more information on the Gear Upgrades system, check out our dedicated page for it below.

Via crafting professions or using the work order system, you can craft some powerful gear, on par or even better than Mythic raid items. There are many options available for crafting, further complicated by the different types of embellishments available. You can at most have 2 embellishments on your gear, but you can have an unlimited amount of crafted items equipped; however, this is gated by Spark of Dreams.

The most important part to realize is that for all the best crafted items, you need a Spark of Dreams. This means, early on in the season, you should treat these as very valuable, but as the season goes on, you can craft more easily. What items are best to craft heavily depends on your current gear. However, below we list some suggested items:

• Crafting a weapon. We generally suggest crafting a 1-handed weapon over 2-handed as it allows for more flexibility since you can always craft an off-hand later anyway. The reason this can be a good choice, is because weapons make up a significant portion of your DPS, so crafting a weapon early will boost your DPS early on significantly. it will be massive early DPS upgrade, but you will eventually replace the weapon with something better.
• Any item with Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch Embellishment on it. Ideally, you would want to craft a Belt ( Vibrant Wildercloth Girdle) and Cloak ( Vibrant Wildercloth Shawl). However, any non tier slot item with Roilling Shadowflame on it is a good craft, and you will generally want to pick a slot you have a currently low item level piece in it.
• After applying 2 embellishments to your gear (the cap), you should focus on crafting whatever crafted item without an embellishment sims best for you. We suggest crafting a ring first, as the raid rings are not that good, and it is difficult to get two rings with the correct stats at a high item level and a socket, but any item that sims well for you is a great idea to craft.

With the release of season 3 of Dragonflight, Fire Mage gets a new set bonus:

• Mage Fire 10.2 Class Set 2pc: When Pyroblast and Flamestrike critically strike, you gain Searing Rage, increasing your critical strike damage by 4% for 12 sec, stacking up to 20%.
• Mage Fire 10.2 Class Set 4pc: Activating Combustion increases the critical strike damage bonus of Searing Rage by 150% for 12 sec.

Both the 2- and 4-set are very strong and worth using at any item level. The 2-set is also one of the reasons that critical strike is quite a good stat.
