Fire Mage with 80 Badges Burning a hole in his pockets...Follow

(Pun intended).

Hello,

This is my 70 Gnome Mage HERE.

I just turned 70 about 3 or so weeks ago and been collecting all sorts of gear and crafted most of the gear I have now except for the Spellstrike hood. I will have enough mats for the Spellstrike pants by this weekend.

I also have the CRUSADE Trinket (Out of the Blessings Deck)and just waiting for the fair to come next week.

Been visiting the Badge gear seller since I managed to collect 80 badges but am now in a dilemma on what will be the most beneficial.

I'm exalted with Cenarion so I can get the Hit ring there, also exalted with SSO and Scryers so all their goodies are available to me.

Been eying the 100 Badge pants with +Crit or even the +Haste on it and even the Robe (Demonsoul), but I think I might be better served by just crafting or have someone craft the Spellstrike pants and using the badges for Weapon (blade), Trinket (Icon), Ring (Fuse band), Cloak (Alacrity) etc.

I really am not sure what will benefit me the most at this time. I do raid Karazan and ZA and Gruul, but my guild has not been in SSC/TK etc.

Will you help me decide the best most cost effective way to upgrade from the amount of Badges I have at the moment?


TY in advance for all the help and I apologize for this very long post.

Assuming you are planning to pick up some spellstrike pants, the biggest bang for your buck would probably involve getting the boots, bracers and wand.

TY for the reply.

Last night we had a spur of the moment run for Kara and got my Boots of Foretelling and had my Spellstrike pants crafted.

Got 5 more badges and now just waiting for the fair so I can get my DMC: Crusade trinket and most likely pick up the Icon. Will need to work on Spell Hit again and work on getting a new Cloak and maybe tonight I'll get the Vindicator Silk Cuffs.

Again ty for the response. Much appreciated.

Your gemming for haste too early. You gain better (and cheaper) benefit from spell damage until about 1200, you only have about 800. I wouldn't suggest regemming, but maybe stop stacking it as you get new gear..

Thanks....funny thing is I had the gems and my Warrior JC only has the pattern for them hence the Haste/Spell Dmg gems.

Ill eventually get the +Spell Damage recipe one of these days.
