As expected following the glowing reception, Amazon has renewed the Fallout TV series for a second season.
Is Pre-Raid Gear Necessary for Phase 3 Season of Discovery?
02.04.2024 - 18:49 / wowhead.com
Lots of players are in the habit of getting pre-raid Best-in-Slot gear before stepping foot into end game content, and while that may be a requirement for some guilds, it really isn't necessary in Season of Discovery. These raids are not designed to be gear checks, and out-gearing them significantly will just lead to burnout earlier.
Is Gnomeregan Gear Good Enough for Phase 3 Raiding?
If the transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 is anything to go by, having a full set of Phase 2 Best-in-Slot gear will likely be overkill for early Phase 3 raiding. While the new items absolutely are upgrades, the overall powerlevel when fully geared will likely not be as insane as the difference between say a Molten Core raider and an Ahn'Qiraj raider.
A Mage upgrading their Electromagnetic Hyperflux Reactivator into Visage of the Exiled will gain 5 Intellect, 3 Spirit, 5 Spell Power and 1% Hit. Obviously a noticeable difference, but not make or break. After seeing the reitemized Dungeon items, they are mostly on-par with Gnomeregan items for most slots. Supplemented with some quest items found while leveling, or dungeon items for those leveling that way, you're unlikely to need to grind any gear before stepping foot into Phase 3 raiding.
Should I Focus on PvP Gear Before Level 50?
While you absolutely could put in the effort to make sure you get your upgraded Blood Moon pieces before you step foot in the overhauled Sunken Temple for the first time, do you really need to?
Looking at the datamined items leaves us with a lot of items that are barely an upgrade over their original versions. The difference between Band of Boiling Blood from Phase 3 and Emberblood Seal from Phase 2 is a whopping 1 Fire Spell Damage, at the cost of 2 Intellect. On the other hand, the difference between weapons could be more significant. Upgrading from Sanguine Crusher to Parasomnia is more than 10 DPS. Even when compared to Thermaplugg's Rocket Cleaver, the DPS gain isn't insignificant.
We also have new PvP sets, but as promised, these are itemized towards PvP more than PvE. Swapping your Electromantic Chainshirt for Stone Guard's Pulsing Breastplate trades 4 Spell Power and 1 Intellect for 1% Spell Crit. Potentially an improvement, but only barely, and that is only if you don't care about your set bonuses. That being said, you will likely have to rank up to even get these so you might just be out of luck to begin with.
Quest Rewards To Look Out for on the Way to 50
On the way to 50, or right as you hit 50 there are plenty of strong items available from quests that you can do before entering your first raid. While some items like Thrash Blade will require you to do a level 50 dungeon, there are still a handful available outside of

Rumour: 2K Gearing Up for Mafia Announcement | Push Square
A rumour is currently doing the rounds, suggesting that we could learn more about 2K's plans for the Mafia series' future (or perhaps past) in the days ahead. A new game was confirmed to be in development back in 2022, potentially a prequel, and we've heard virtually nothing since. But the source says the reveal could just as easily involve a next-gen update for Mafia: Definitive Edition, so we'll have to wait and see.
