With the advent of patch 3.3 there are a whole crapload of new items and new ways to gear up your character. Being in a guild which mainly runs Heroic 5-mans, I figured the best path for me to get items is doing heroic random dailies to get A) Drops, B) Emblem drops, and C) Emblems of Frost from completing the Daily Random Heroic.

This gear list is basically for my benefit, and I’ve ignored paths which I will not be utilizing for gear progression. I will not list PVP gear. I will not list 10-man gear. I will not list any gear which cannot be gotten from Heroics, Badges, or crafters.

That said, This first post will be for Head, Chest, Shoulder, Wrist and Hands. Tomorrow’s list will cover the Waist, Legs, Feet, Back, and Neck. Thursday will cover Rings, Idols, Trinkets, Main-hands, Off-hands, and Two-handed weapons.

As always, if you see something missing from my list, let me know what it is and where it comes from, and if it fits in with my progression, I’ll add it in.

So, without further ado, The gear list!
