Things don’t stop at 496, either. Particularly lucky (or persistent) players
might find themselves in possession of a Burden of Eternity, an extremely
powerful artifact that,
when used on a Timeless armor token, causes it to create
an even more powerful item rated at ilvl 535. Get your hands on a few of those
pieces and you should be more than prepared to participate in the Siege of
Orgrimmar raid.
Your Reputation Precedes You
Of course, the Timeless Isle isn’t the only way to gear up. As of 5.4, we’ve
made some big changes to the older ilvl 489 reputation gear—that’d be the Golden
Lotus,
Klaxxi, August Celestials, and Shado-Pan gear. All of this gear is now
available for Justice Points regardless of your reputation with the respective
factions.
The fastest way to earn Justice Points is by running dungeons (particularly
Heroic dungeons), but they can be earned through Scenarios and even converted
from Honor points if you prefer (though you’re probably better off just buying
the Honor gear . . . more on that later). Once you’ve got some Justice Points
saved up, head off to the quartermaster at Niuzao Temple in Townlong Steppes to
get some sweet, sweet epics.
