Cat leveling gear - Part 4 - hands & waists
Hands:
Baseline: the Fel Leather Gloves are fairly common and pretty cheap, so I’ll baseline from them.
At 70, the Time-Stop Gloves are a quick and easy upgrade from Postponing the Inevitable.
The next upgrade doesn’t come until 75 with the Handguards of Rapid Pursuit from Ichoron in Violet Hold.
At 77, the Rough Climber’s Grips are rewarded from The Reckoning.
At 78, the Handwraps of Preserved History are awarded from A Royal Escort
At 80, there are 2 non-raid upgrades:
Gilt-Edged Leather Guantlets drop in from King Ymiron in Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle.
The Gloves of Fast Reactions are a BOE world drop.
Waists:
Baseline: Guardian’s Dragonhide Belt. Yeah, it was a grind, but you weren’t going to find anything better outside of raiding. Unless you usually had 10k gold laying around. And, ultimately, it was pretty easy to get. Took me about a week of 3 times/day BGs.
The first waist upgrade doesn’t happen until 73. You can get the Waistguard of Expedient Procurement from Drak’aguul’s Mallet or the Pyramid Embossed Belt, which drops from Herald Volazj in Ahn’Kahet.
At 74, the Strange Vodoo Belt is awarded by Gul’Darah Must Pay.
At 78, you can get the crafted Eviscerator’s Waistguard or the Glitterscale Wrap is availabe at revered with the Oracles.
80 gives a wide variety of waists:
The Treasure Seeker’s Belt drops in heroic Azjol-Nerub.
The Bat-Rider’s Cord drops in heroic Drak’Theron Keep.
The Sharp-Barbed Leather Belt drops in Heroic Utgard keep.
And the Trollwoven Girdle is crafted.
